Another childhood food of mine is Ku Chay Ah (Min-nan/Tai-gi not sure which uses it, they almost sound alike anyway on both dialect). its a fried pastry with meat filling which contains pork, tofu and ku chay (jiu cai) in a semi thick gravy of sort. I cant remember how it taste like anymore since its been forever since I had them. oh and the pastry is like the teo chew mooncake. its layers and layers it looks really pretty...hehe when fried the layers just open up more and gets more distinct and fried till golden brown. anybody know them by another name? or has the recipe?

...a little bit of this, and a little bit of that....*slurp......^_^.....ehh I think more fish sauce.

Hmmm -- pork/tofu/jiu cai. There is a restaurant, here in NJ, (China 46) that has a dish called Special House Saute. It is a mix of very small glazed diced pork/tofu/jiu cai which is stuffed into a flaky baked sesame bun. I love it!

Qing is a gulleteer here, and he used to work there. If he sees this thread maybe he can add to this.

Qing?

I could not figure out what these are. By any chance anyone knows the Chinese characters for these?

Long time no see, I have to focus on school's projects...Ha..

I should ask, if the dish contains Jiu Cai(Chives)?

And how was the skin of the fried pastry?

I guess it seems more like the "Jiu Cai He Zi" at China46 NJ, which always served during their Sunday brunches.

yes Qing, it has Jiu Cai in it, and the fried pastry is like the teo chew mooncake, it looks as if its like layers of flattened discs of flaky pastry.
