Seaweed Roll

S$1 for 1 piece/roll

Just for S$1, you get this much (slightly crispy outer layer after toasting for a longer time )


I like these few lines I read in a book, it says -

"CONTENTMENT

The more we pursue sensual pleasures, the more we crave them and chase after distractions. Our dissatisfaction increases and creates mental stress and physical discomfort. Recognize how this happens, and learn to be content with a few necessities. You will be more carefree and joyful. "

So, I try to enjoy the simple meal now and learn to be contented.  Cooking has become very simplified.  I purchased this Seaweed Roll which is made with layer and layer of beancurd skin seasoned with simple ingredients that has  nori sheet in between which costs around S$5 for 5 pieces.

 Instead of deep-frying it, I just placed them in the oven toaster and let it toasted for 10-15 minutes (you are free to do other chores or prepare other dishes). 

You can brush some oil on it or use none, cut it prior to toasting or do it after that, it is all your preference.  It can be a healthy and simple dish to go with plain/brown rice, congee, as snack or finger food.

You can dip it with chilli sauce or mayo or any other sauce you prefer.  You can even choose to wrap it with lettuce too. So just follow your mood, explore and be open to all possibilities and have fun too  ...
