Stir Fry Leeks with Sea Cucumber

 A traditional vegetable dish almost forgotten by many because sea cucumbers are getting expensive.  I remembered my late father in-law was so happy to see this dish when I cooked it during CNY.  I cooked this dish recently when I managed to get some small sea cucumbers [oops, forgot to take a picture before cutting it].
You can add firm beancurd, prawns, meat or chicken to this dish.  Here, I added firm beancurd [5 spice flavour].  Yummy, yummy homey vegetable, good with rice or porridge.
