Ladies fingers with assam paste

I initially wanted to steam them, but found a jar of assam sauce inside the fridge. Easy hoh, just pour onto the wok and stir stir stir.... throw all the ladies fingers in and stir sommore. Then cover for a short while and gaotim!!! Fuyoh, aiteyu.... cancerous like hell, this stuff. Expected lah, the paste is full of preservatives and dunno wat else. Nope, i never buy those stuffs back. MIL buys them all the time for convenience sake..... *shakes head* But if it's meant for cooking, i use larrrr....
