First I just have to share with you my orchids. Pretty huh?
I have this orchid for the longest time, and it always bloom during this time of year.
This dish is consist of different types of mushroom, onion, water chestnut, carrots, spring onion, garlic, vegatarian oyster sauce, sugar, salt and pepper. You can add shrimps or ground pork or beef if you want to make them non-vegetarian.
I have some colorful crakers at home so I decided to fried them. Then added a spoonful of the savory fillings and garnished some cilantro, spring onion and sesame seeds.
Here was one platter that I put together for our birthday luncheon. The gang at work loved them. I love to use the craker as a cup since it gave you the crunch texture once you bite into it.
I bought English Cucumbers at Costco and cut them into small size. Then I took out the inside and topped with the fillings. Don't they look like tiny little Jade boats? These are wonderful light appertizers.
