Let's have something light for lunch today! Simple Teochew Muay (潮州糜) with simple light dishes to go along :D One of my boy's favourite dish is Chinese braised peanuts. He can easily polish up a whole canned braised peanuts if I do not stop him! hahaha Luckily his little sister did not fight with him for this dish as she simply don't touch it at all! As I do not have a pressure cooker, it took rather a long time to achieve a really soft texture by cooking over stove. Though they are not as soft as canned version one, it still tasted very delicious as they were fully infused with spice flavours after long hours of braising.
