    I don't know if any of us are any good cook. LOL Of course, I'm speaking for myself.
    We have some favorite foods, favorite instant noodles, etc in the food section; but, don't think I saw favorite Asian recipes before.
    Post some if you do.

    ¼ cup Vegetable Oil

    Water

    1 Tablespoon (shredded) Preserved radish

    ½ tsp Ground Hot chilies,

    2 Tablespoons Ground Roasted Peanuts

    1. Heat oil in wok and add garlic and shallots on medium heat until it starts to brown.
