Stir fried baby cucumber with fried fish and black beans

I first had baby cucumber in Beijing and it was really delicious. When I saw it in one of the super markets in KL I was shocked to see the cost. It was RM 10.00 for a pack of about 12 cucumbers!!! Talk about extortion. A couple weeks ago I went to Cameron Highlands and lo and behold they were selling these cucumbers at RM 4.00 for 2 medium sized packs. You can guess what I did. Yes I bought 2 packs and this is the dish here. Actually it would be even better if you add some red chillies.

A seedless baby cucumber is rich in minerals and vitamins. According to TCM, cucumber cleanses and detoxifies and it helps reduce high blood pressure. It has a cooling element therefore helps reduce internal heat of the body. 

Ingredients 

2 packs baby cucumbers

1 can of fried fish with black beans

Pour the fish onto a plate

Remove the bones from the fish

Heat up 1 tbsp oil and fry some chopped garlic until fragrant

Put in the cucumber and stir until well mixed with the oil

Add a little water to prevent it burning

When the cucumbers are almost soft add the fish and mix well

I did not add seasoning as the fish is already well seasoned

Dish up and serve with steamed rice or plain congee
