Actually I’ve never really liked endives and I think my mum knew so so she kinda stopped cooking it for me for a long long while such that I’ve actually forgotten how it tastes like. After cooking it today, I’ve come to the conclusion that I still don’t really like it. π I mean, I’m quite a vegetable lover and if you do serve me endives, I’d still eat it; it’s just that I’m not particularly fond of it… hehe…
Usually my mum cooks it without hoisin sauce but I just bought a bottle of hoisin sauce today so I thought I’d just add a little to the veggies. π
Stir-fried Endives in Hoisin Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch of organic endives (washed and plucked)
- 1/2 handful of dried shrimps
- 1tsp hoisin sauce
- garlic (minced)
Method:
- Rinse then soak the dried shrimps in 1/3 bowl of water. Remove from water before cooking and retain the water that the dried shrimps were soaked in for cooking.
- Fry the garlic and dried shrimps till fragrant.
- Add the endives (stalks first, followed by leaves).
- Fry the endives for awhile then add in the hoisin sauce and the dried shrimp water and simmer till endives are cooked.
- Dish and serve.
Note: The quantity of cooked endives is really little compared to the uncooked ones so you may need more than 1 bunch of endives if you need more veggies! π Luckily I cooked watercress soup today so I could get some more veggies from that!
