Stir - Fried Watercress

Found some more watercress and wanted to try this recipe. A bit of spicy heat mixed with a nutritious green. You can quite possibly add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, if you like, however I think this recipe is all about keeping it simple and clean.  

Stir - Fried Watercress
---------------------------------------------------
3 bunches of watercress
3 red hot peppers, seeds removed
3 packages of firm tofu
1/2 teaspoon salt
chopped garlic

In a large saucepan take 3 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon oil and watercress, then bring to a boil. Immediately remove watercress and excess water.

Shred red peppers into thin strips.

In a wok add 3 tablespoons of oil into the pan, over high heat, pan fry the red hot peppers and chopped garlic until the garlic turns to a deep golden colour. Then add in the watercress and fermented bean curd. Add in salt. Pan fry over high heat until soft and mixed well. Remove and serve.

Notes: If you do not like too much spice then use only 1 red hot pepper and 1 to 2 sweet red bell peppers. 

Hope everyone had a great weekend, we did! Also the past two days have been busy ones.  - JD
