Chap Chai/Mixed Vegetable Stew

Chap Chai. The Chinese style mixed vegetable stew and the central core ingredient? Chinese Turnip, or jicama, or yam bean or sengkuang. The rest of the ingredients? Pretty much, as you like vegetables and of course we need flat dried soy sheets or fucuk, and because this is the halal version, its pork free. Chap Chai. A one pot dish. Super satisfying and super tastiness, and make sure you dig in alongside sambal belacan. Oh, a vegetarian Chap Chai is definitely possible. How? Oh-god, do I have to tell you?
