Malay/English I was cooking fish curry when my mom asked me to cook this green vegetable. It was just recently my family eat this vegetable. It looks like lettuce to me. I even imagine to eat it raw in my sandwich. The packaging wrote Yau Mark Tam. Yau mark tam? A vegetable from China I guess. Then I thought I would just sauté it with anchovies. And today I searched about yau mark tam in the internet and... it is actually romaine lettuce... hahaha... But sauteed romaine lettuce is also delicious. So let's look at the recipe.

Solok Lada (so-lock la-da) or Stuffed Chili is a side dish along with Nasi Kerabu (Kelantanese Salad Rice). It is also can be eaten along with rice and gulai or curry. It is a dish made from big green chili (usually a type of chili we call solok chili) filled with flavored grated coconut and fish.  The taste of solok is creamy, a bit spicy, salty and sweet. However the spiciness of the chili has been largely reduced because the chili is cooked and the seeds are removed before stuffing in the coconut filling. Usually sardine and mackerel fish are used to make Solok Lada.  Solok Lada is delicious when eaten with Nasi Kerabu which has a mixed flavor from fresh minced vegetables and herbs, spicy coconut sauce (tumis), grated coconut sambal and budu (anchovies sauce). It is also accompanied with sambal air lada (chili sambal), and any meat of choice. Solok is also delicious when eaten with rice and gulai, a curry like gravy which is usually cooked with meat, fish and chicken. T
