[kelly]

Thanks Carol, have received your recipes! I love seafood so the seafood dishes look particularly tempting. Lovely names for the dishes too!

Thanks again!

Something to share, ikan bilis and soya beans works very well as soup base too. I use it as soup base for yong tau foo soup.

Just throw in ikan bilis, soya beans and some pepper seeds and let the soup boil for abt 1 1/2-2 hrs. Add in fresh yong tau foo to boil for abt 10-15mins until cooked then serve. Sorry, I don't know the proportions, always use "aga-ration" (aga-aga lah!) one.

 

[carol]

Hi kelly:
I'm glad that you have received the recipes, do try them when you're free.
I name the dishes myself. *paisei*

Thanks for sharing the ingredients for the making of soup base. Yong Tau Foo, I like them very much...
I really need a lot of soup nowadays, to keep my complexion good. No choice loh, my photoshoot next week loh...

Oooh thanks for the soup recipe. My mum taught me something similar but instead of Dried mussels she uses Dried Ju Her (cuttlefish) and she use Green carrot, white Carrot and red carrot to make the soup. The rest of the ingredients are the same. I love that soup!! SLURP.

Hi Carol,

I don't have a streamer, in this case, can I just boil the white fungus over a small fire? Or can i use a slow cooker?

Thanks.

Yes, you can use a slow cooker or just boil the white fungus over a small flame, or you can even steam them in a wok, filled with water, place a stainless steel stand below the bowl.

I've tried that, Hmmmmm.....
very nice....

Pandan Chicken Wraps
Ingredients: (serve 4-6)
1 pk Maggi braised chicken mushroom mix
1 tbsp honey
4 whole chicken legs, cut into 3 pcs each
pandan leaves, trimmed
toothpicks/cocktail sticks
canola oil

Method:
1. Mix maggi braides chicken mushroom mix, the honey & the chicken pieces together. Leave to marinate, preferably overnight.
2. Prepare pandan leaves.
3. Wrap each chicken piece with pandan, making sure the leaf is secured.
4. Heat oil in a deep saucepan. Make sure the oil is hot enough to seal in the juices. When chicken is browned, about five minutes, lower heat & cook another 5 mins.
5. Turn uo the heat so excess oil runs off the chicken pieces when you are picking them up. Serve with sliced cucumbers & tomatoes, or a green salad.

(Must try, "Lagi" good.....)

hi,
Got this off TODAY :

Spicy Steamed Pork Ribs

1 packet pork ribs (350 g)
3 red tomatoes, quartered
3 salted preserved plums
3 teaspoons sichuan broadbean paste (doubanjiang)
a little sugar
2 teaspoons cornflour
salt and pepper to taste

1. Clean and rinse pork ribs. Cut into even pieces about 2 cm cubes. Marinate ribs with the cornflour, pepper and salt
2. Mix together the doubanjiang, sugar and salted plums. Mash the plums to break the skin and release the flavour.
3. Add the pork ribs to the sauce. Mix well.
4. Place the tomatoes at the bottom of the plate for steaming. Pile pork ribs on top, spreading them our so they cook evenly.
5. Steam over high fire for 15 mins. Or if you are using rice cooker, place it on a rack on top of the rice. By the time your rice is cooked, your steamed ribs should be ready.

Total cooking time : 15 mins. Serves 4

Shopping guide:
Sichuan broadbean paste or doubanjiang is readily avalable from most shops, markets and supermarkets. They are mostly made in Malaysia, Taiwan or china. Check the production date for freshness.
