This is an adaptation of a recipe I grew up on with what we could make do with in San Antonio, Tx since the 80's. My father grew up in Singapore and brought just what was in his head for making this dish. I have since made my own changes here and there yet the authentic taste remains, and it is easy for me to make while being disabled and busy.
