CHINESE SOUP RECIPES

skylar,
thanks for the prawn and curry recipe. last time my ah-bu also fry the chilli paste..somemore she used charcoal to fry one leh...shiong ah...haha...

hey all

skylar's hokkien "Buo ka lak" in ang moh is known as "candlenuts".

I copy and paste from cookbook the explanation:

Candlenut is a waxy, cream-coloured nut similar in size and shape to a macadamia, which can be used as a substitute (although less expensive almonds or cashews will also do). It is ground and used to add texture and a faint flavor to Malay and Nonya dishes. Do not eat raw. Store in the fridge.

basket. lao niang never log on for so long, all forget about me already. sibeh busy with work. until no time to go pang jio sia.

eh skylar, your ah bu's prawns look so shiok! and simple to cook! thanks for the curry recipe .... but it seems damn tedious, i'm so lazy haha. btw i notice your ah bu takes care of presentation of her dishes also hor? eg put vege under prawns. i have never done that!

i asked about gelatin cos during my office party, someone brought a dessert, damn happening one. when i try and it work then i will take photo and show ok? like skylar, keke. photo queen.

lina, thanks for the compliment

ah lao always geh geh make a face when i cook cos he got to wash up haha.

anyone got cool recipe for porridge? like cantonese restaurant 'chok' kind?
 
i wonder if i've posted this before.... if so, it may vary a little cos it's by *bad* memory:

marinate fish fillets (the kind you buy frozen from supermarkets) with lemon juice, parsley (the ang moh kind, not cheena kind), thyme, garlic and olive oil for at least 1 hour. turn occasionally.

then just fry. don't need to put oil cos already got olive oil. can serve with potatoes or veggie. simple and good :D
 
joniel - i have the same feelings about my granny, like the way you feel about your ah bu. i regret not learning from her. all the dishes i try now just doesn't taste like the one she used to cook

Pink - think those cantonese porridge must keep the fire on and keep stiring & boiling till the porridge "nua" "nua" wan....as for ingredients...depends wat you wan to put lah but for taste, you can try adding those dried scallops....than if you wan to add others like peanuts, cuttlefish, century eggs, fish, chicken, mince pork etc....up to you....
 
yoohoo,

sweet and sour fish

marinate fish fillets with soy sauce + 1 tbsp flour for at least 30 mins

deep fry till golden brown, then dry on paper towels

sauce: saute green pepper, onion and pineapple for 1 min. stir in pineapple juice, 1.5 tbsp sugar, 3 tbsp ketchup, 1 tbsp water, 2 tbsp flour, 1 tsp sesame oil, dash of vinegar

pour sauce over fish (or prawn, or sotong, or pork)

we just had it for dinner. steady leh

but my ah bu said, since now most pple using the chilli paste, no need to specially buy the buo ka lak liao.
 
PB, u wan the cantonese restaurant "chok", like abit glue tog type rt? the secret is in marinating the rice wif "jiang fen (cantonese)" , i c if i can find out the term in eng tonite. the last time i cooked, marinated the rice for 13 hrs wif salt, little bit of sugar, oil, sesame oil + half teaspoon of jiang fen (for three pple, about 0.75 normal rice cup of rice). amt of water depends on hw thick u wan the porridge 2b. heat water + marinated rice till water boils, then xiao huo & cover (dun cover completely), then every few minutes stir can liao.

KA, think skylar is veri happy u call her "Very Sweet", cos no one we both noe wld ever ever ever use "Very Sweet" 2 describe her, rt skylar

he said he was very 'against' the deep fryer cos he wanted to buy it for me for my birthday! btw the simply her one, it's very hard to clean. he said cos all the electric stuff is inside, cannot use water. so just pour away the oil and use kitchen paper towels to wipe
 
PB... ur ah lao so sweeeeet!! Mac bird-day party ah... so cute!

btw, i also had problem cleaning my simply her fryer. used a lot of kitchen towels liao... but stil quite oily. then dunno if will have any chemical reactions if leave it oily for too long without use...

hey girls, ya it's so funny, all the adults (only 2 real kids) sitting on small chairs and playing the kids games. we all had a good time reliving our childhood. i had a KFC party when i was 10 but was always secretly pining for a mac's party. he remembered hehe. when i got there i thought eh so coincidentaly, saw my colleagues, then more and more of my friends arrived, and then my family, then i knew keke.

the deep fryer actually say can re-use the oil 20 times leh. walau. quite gross. we change after about 5 times cos every time we open the cover it smell like ha cheong gai haha.
 
Wahaha.. Pink.. that is indeed cute lor..

ur oil smells like ha cheong gai coz ha cheong gai ba wu very strong amah.. kekeke... re-use 20 times?? pengz..
kekeke..
 
ya lor.. usually i used like 3x i change liao.. but then again i think it depends alot on wat u fry lor... like normal stuff still ok lah.. but if those strong smelling stuff then abit diff lor.. eg? ha cheong gai.. wait all my other food smells like ha cheong gai ah.. kekee...

or those fry liao got loose flour one.. those oil also cannot keep mah.. rite? how to re-use?? kekeke...
 
Cecilia,
tried too before leh... but still like can see those tiny bits of flr left over all ard.. see liao very pek chek so throw away the oil lor.. kekee..
 
WOW! Pink! your hubby so sweet hor...I also want leh...but guess im too old for that & hubby sure say bo liao...kekekeke
 
basket. all old birds of the deepfryer never say anything about oilchange, all wait for me to kai kou. basket.

PB... so envy leh... me so old stil dun get any surprise. so got ronald macdonald or the hamburglar go to ur party or not... hahaha...
 
Levynn - Wahahaha....i was about to ask Pink that too...dunno gor free hats, freebies, and balloon anot hor....

Just kidding har...Pink.
 
KA, Levynn..
think hat that kinda freebies got lah.. but for Ronald himself... not every party will have one leh.. kekeke..
think the Mac stuff must also be thinking .. wahh first time do adult Mac party hor? keke...
 

ac-cher-lee hor, i asked the macdonald's staff if i was the oldest one (cos when she said how many candles? i had to whisper to her) but she said no leh, also got adults bring their kids for their own birthday parties. so i feel quite relieved haha.

not sure if i mentioned, but my lao ba had a good time also. he had the party hat on all the time!

everybody had a happy meal so we all have a toy and the box. ehhh but basket. no balloons leh. tao yan. kena cheated. but they gave me a cool birthday present. see?:
