Olive fried rice...


Salted black olives, aka "kiam kanah"

Longer than "ang-moh" olives, with tapered ends. Smells a little stronger too.Looks a bit like a leech.
Bought them from "Spices Shop" (basement 1 Eastpoint Mall) - they sell them in little covered cups (bout$0.90 each, I think)

Remove flesh - puree - forms a stiff paste - difficult to mix so added olive oil and hot water. The seeds are supposed to have an edible flesh (?)
A bit too salty - next time ?soak overnight in brine?

2 covered cups/btls + 3 cups uncooked rice = bout 5 rice bowls cooked rice.

Heat oil...fry paste till fragrant...add rice and mixmixmix. Didn't add anything else, not even fish sauce.



Ta da!


Garnishing :
  1. omelette (egg + some shallots + "juice" from beef (see next post on beef salad) + minced garlic + mince wan swee stems)
  2. mint leaves
  3. chilli padi
  4. spring onion
So, would you eat this?
