Another delicious recipe from Singaporean, Malaysian & Indonesian Cuisine adapted for our vegetarian diet. We’ve tried this with Morningstar Sausage Patties, Gardein Breaded Chick’n nuggets, and deep-fried gluten pieces (we got the deep-fried gluten pieces from Chinatown). We liked the deep-fried gluten the best, but all work well.
