Nga ku (aka arrowroot) is in season during this CNY period.
Bumped into a lady in the supermarket grabbing bags of nga ku. Curiosity got the better of me and enquired if she was planning to fry them into chips. She said no and proceeded to share with me another way of savouring this vegetable *was a little surprised that she turned out to be so friendly* Her recipe is pretty easy - all you need are slices of nga ku, leek, wax duck (which I omitted) and chinese sausage. Arrange these ingredients in a dish in that order with the sausages ending at the top, steam and serve with rice - super tasty as the juices/fat from the duck and chinese sausage get absorbed by the slices of nga ku!!
In this bento is rice onigri, some steamed nga ku (as described above), fish, stir fried cabbage, sweet peas and banana fritters.

Cute white tiger, especially the nose part. Those banana fritters ... oh craving for them now :)
Tks Lia Chen, these banana fritters were pretty good especially since they were very riped. Sonny was reluctant to try but when he did, think he polished quite a bit in one sitting. When they are nice & warm, best eaten with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, yumz....
