This few days keeps raining and is quite cold at home during the nights. There was a heavy pour yesterday evening and I was soaking wet by the time I reached home. After shower, I took some vitamins so I don't catch cold or fall sick the next day.
With the cold weather, I felt hungry so I ended up making my very first spring roll. The peeling and slicing were no fun. I had to chop lots onions because my mom put that in, as I recalled. Then slicing the carrots, bean curd and sweet turnip (sengkuang). Since I don't cook everyday, so it took me a few minutes to get everything prepared and down to the wok for a stir fried.
Everyone I know normally cook the ingredients separately. The way people usually eats is scope some of each ingredients and put in the spring roll wrapper. Me, I'm just too lazy to do this so I put everything in the wok and cook them together for few minutes. Then I just put the ingredients into the wrap one by one until everything finished.
I ate 2 and some kept in the fridge. It tasted similar likes my mom's but I accidentally put in too much pepper. Arrggh... I can feel the spice in my mouth after eating the spring roll. This weekend I'm going to make again...with less peppers, of course.
Recently, I have learnt to be more patience and relax. Cooking definitely require both because the dish needs to go through all the steps before I can eat, no shortcut. I'm more relax too because I only focus on task in front of me. Sugar is my tester and so far OK. I just have to make sure he's 'alive' after eating my food.
