When I lost my old blog this dish is one that I missed the most. I promised myself I must put this recipe back onto my blog but I have been a bit lazy due to the Chinese new Year celebrations.
This is also the dish that made my very British husband fell totally in love with spinach and I often only need to serve him this one dish and plain boiled rice. He often tell me don’t cook other dishes if I cook this one. Funny mat Salleh!
Recently I was chatting with a friend and she requested this recipe of mine so I cooked it the other day and took some pics.
