This is really a delicious dish. My grandma’s version is that she will add in tomatoes and nutmeg. I think I am going to try this recipe next week. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, I was wondering if the mustard greens in this dish is the salted types sold in packets at the Asian grocers, or the fresh ones?

CP – Eeeerrrr, I guess I will have to change the title to Leftover Turkey, Fujian Style. ;)

I think it’s a Chinese invention, but the Malaysian version is improvised with the use of tamarind skins and dried chilies. Do Taiwanese use them for this dish?

It's a Taiwanese dish! XD

Which probably means it originated in the Fujian province. =b

Suanne – I know what you mean. I agree with Audrey, the best meat is Siu Yoke or BBQ pork.

Hi Rasa Malaysia, I usually make this with roasted pig feet and I find it too fatty. I will try it with turkey next time. Thanks for the idea.

Babe – yes, you guys are so lucky…can get this Chai Buey easily nowadays. You can also get it from economy rice stalls.

Mef – this blog is dedicated to the foods of my childhood…my mother’s cooking, my grandmother’s, and my aunt’s. Now I have to cook my own since I am so far away from home. :P

Paati – no, they are not the same. Tamarind skins are the ones shown on the picture…tamarind paste are usually just tamarind.

Tigerfish – you can get all these ingredients from 99 Ranch Market. I will check out your site.
