Auntie Tips (2)

Tip 1:
To keep tofu from breaking into pieces when you fry, try this : Soak the tofu in hot water for a minute before frying.

Tip 2:
If your child has a bad bout of diarrhoea, try giving him/her porridge water to drink, and a banana later. The porridge water will clear the diarrhoea while the banana will firm up the stool.

Tip 3:
To get rid of lingering odours in plastic food containers, soak them in tamarind water overnight.
