I remembered one time, my mum and her group of friends wanted to pick some Midin and I wanted to follow them. My mum said "You must finish your homework first and you must make sure you wear shoe instead of slippers.", I said yes Mummy and quickly sat down and did my homework. You should have seen my speed I am like flash gordon...broooommm broooom and DONE my homework was done..and then Yeahhhh can gooooo...But then "Hmmm what did mummy said just now? ooo finish homework then can go..Ok all done. LETS GOOO.."..I quickly wore my slippers (Not any ordinary slippers you know..those japanese cheap slippers) and then ran towards the jungle area where I saw my mum and her friends far away. "MUMMMYYY" I shouted and my mum waved back...I was running towards them because I did not want to be left out from picking those Midins. I saw a log with lots and lots of thorns on the log. Not sure what it is called and instead of going around it which will waste a bit of my time, I decided to be a super hero and jumped over it..But because it rained last night and the ground was slippery, my smart japanese slipper slipped and instead of jumping over the thorny log, I stepped on the (let me repeat again) thorny log with my barefoot because my slipper went to the side of my feet and instead of stopping at what I am doing, I stepped on the ground with my foot and all those thorn moved further into my skin. OUCH...i sat down and shouted and cried. (Ok I was only 9 years old so I can still cry)....My mum ran towards me and saw my foot with all those little thorns sticking out from my foot and said "TOLD YOU TO WEAR SHOE. SEE WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU DO NOT LISTEN!" Thanks Mummy for the words of comfort..ha ha ha ha...They carried me back to the house and my mum sat for nearly 5 hours and using a tweaser slowly (instead of picking MIDIN) picked the thorns out one by one from my foot with me shouting until my throat dried out. OUCHHY..and the worst was while I sat there, my big sister told me that if I go to the doctor, the doctor will CUT off my Foot...My mum couldn't take all the thorns out. That very night my parents had to go to the doctor cos my dad need a checkup. I did not want to go into the clinic because of what my sis told me...I stayed outside in the car and of cos I was bored to death I played with my dad's steppler gun and GUESS WHAT! BANGGGG...Tears started to flow down my eyes. I was not even shouting..I accidently steppled my little pinky finger...All because of MIDIN. ha ha
OK OK that was a totally different topic of what I am suppose to write here. Sidetrack a bit..What I am going to write is a recipe for cooking Midin. Why Food For Ang Moh's Soul? Ang Moh are kwai lo or caucasion. They love midin so much. Midin can be either cooked with red wine, with garlic only, with belachan or make it midin salad. All YUMMY. today I am going to cook Midin with red wine.
INGREDIENTS
- Midin or Bilin - it comes in a bundle - Buying Midin is like share market. Sometimes it is so cheap you can get 3 bundles for RM5 and sometimes it can be soooo expensive 1 bundle is RM5 OUCH-depends on the season
- Ginger - The more the merrier but of cos don't put too much otherwise smells like GINGER. ha ha
- salt
- Cooking Red Wine - Not western red wine. My friend and I made this red wine - Shoosh do not tell people later on we will end up in jail
- Oil for cooking
Step 1
- Cut ginger into thin strips. The thinner it is the better so when you cook, the nice smell will come out.
- Prepare the Midin by cleaning it and throwing away any roots or hard stems.
Step 2
- Put oil into the wok and when it is hot enough, throw the ginger into the oil and stir fry it for a while. Till the smell comes out. Please do not let it get burn because burnt ginger is YUCK...
Step 3
- Throw the midin into the wok and stir fry it for a while. Put some salt - based on your taste. Not too much not too little
- Stir Fry it for a while.
Step 4
- Before taking out the Midin, pour in the cooking red wine. If you want to have strong red wine smell, pour more but of cos not too much later on you get drunk. ha ha ha ha
- Mix them all up and then take them out from the wok onto a plate.
DONE...
You can now serve it to your Ang Moh friends..ha ha ha..GOOD LUCK
