Grilled Prawns with Bell Pepper Salsa
2007-08-13 06:10:00 My family prefers Chinese food to any other food and it's never easy trying to get to try other food. And because of this, I'm not very good with dishes other than home-cooked Chinese food.My poor husband is always forced to try my non Chinese dishes. I usually do them in small portion in case he is not used to the taste. Then I would have to finish them all by myself.Happened to this dish. Haha ... he only took the prawns without the salsa because he didn't like bell peppers. I love it. So in the end, I diced the prawns and added them to the Salsa . It's easier for me as the Salsa was more than the prawns now. Ingredients for Salsa:1 Red Bell Pepper 1 Yellow Bell Peppers1 tablespoon chopped Coriander1 tablespoon chopped Mint Leaves1 tablespoon Olive Oil or Sesame Seed OilA dash of PepperA pinch of SaltHow to do the Salsa:Grill bell peppers on all sides till they are charred.Put them into a plastic bag and let stand about 20 minutes to loosen the skins.

Asparagus stuffed Fish Maw
2007-08-11 06:12:00 Chinese would probably be familiar with fish maw. It's an internal organ of a large fish. I usually buy the ready prepared fish maw which is deep fried and buffy.My understanding is that fish maw if very nourishing and beneficial to general healthy. My parents said it's a very good source of collagen, so it good for our skin and joints. It's quite tasteless so I usually braised it to add flavours. I love to make soup with it too. However, this time, I'm using it with vegetables.

Finger Food for Kids
2007-08-08 06:50:00 You know kids love cocktail sausages. I don't remember eating so much of it when I was a kid. My kids just can't seems to have enough of them. I sometimes served this as a tea-time snack for my kids. And when I'm preparing it, I munched on them too. Haha ... Not much left in the end. I think they make a pretty nice party finger food too.What you see here are cocktail sausage wrapped with lettuce and ham. You can have other varieties like using cheese, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, bread, etc. The combination is endless.I stand up them using a bell pepper top which I had saved from a dish I'm cooking for dinner. Of course you can just lay them on a tray, can't be cutting all the tops of bell peppers to do this. *giggles*Having a party tomorrow to celebrate Singapore's National Birthday? Why not serve one of these? A time saver and easy to prepare.Happy Birthday, Singapore! And Happy Holiday to everyone in Singapore!http://feeds.feedburner.com/wok kingmum More About: Kids , Food , Finger food , Finger

The Natural Toner - Rose Water
2007-08-07 06:54:00 You must be wondering why am I having a post on Toner . Isn't that a beauty thingy? I know this is a food blog but I have to share this because the weather nowadays is terrible and I thought our skin needs feeding of 'natural food' too.Few years ago, there was this grand opening of a beauty parlour at my place and they were having this one time trial promotion at a very cheap rate. During that time, I only had a child and since it was only 5 minutes from my place, I asked my husband to help took care of my son and I went. That was the last time I went for a facial.Anyway, while I was there, I happened to overhear a customer telling her beautician than she uses Rose Water as a 'toner' and drinks Rose Water as part of her beauty regime. Hmm.... Since I don't even follow the proper cleansing routine (yeah, I just washes my face with soap. :p), I thought I'll try that.I understands from the Medical Hall people that Rose Water is consider a mild astringent.

Deep Fried Pork Ribs with Fermented Bean Curd
2007-08-06 04:10:00 I'm a Teochew, which is a ethnic dialect group. The Teochews like to eat plain porridge with a few side dishes. When my brother and I were younger, my father always make us eat porridge. It always came with salted eggs, Bean Sprout, Tau Kwa or Tau Bok and Fermented Bean Curd. I can eat two bowls of porridge with just the Fermented Bean Curd. It's salty so we were only given two pieces to be shared.I remembered in one of the older movies, Armour of God (????), by Jackie Chan and Alan Tam, Alan Tam bought a bottle of Fermented Bean Curd to visit Jackie Chan. When asked what it was by May, a female character, they said it was Oriental Cheese. It was a good analogy. haha.... It's does look like Laughing Cow's Cream Cheese Cubes dip in chilli and Sesame Seed Oil.The one I used in this dish is another type of Fermented Bean Curd.

Durian Pudding
2007-08-01 07:28:00 The King of Fruits, Durian , is in season now! The latest craze in Singapore is a durian called 'Cat Mountain King' literally translated from it's Chinese name, ???. This species of durian is creamy, buttery, sweet with a little hint of bitter taste. It's so silky, the meat just slip of the seed! It's definitely worth every cent I paid for (It's the priciest of all durian!). One very bad after effect of eating this durian, other than your breathe smell like durian, is you won't want to eat any other types of durian! Durians, you either love it or hate it. I think it's the pungent smell that people can't handle. Once you get pass the smell ... ahh ... there's no stopping. Not even if you get poked by the thorns on the shells!I didn't use the 'Cat Mountain King' durian to make the pudding. Oh, by the way, the pudding was custard smooth and don't mistaken it as Steam Egg Custard. I used Thai durian and it's a lot more cheaper. Using 'Cat Mountain King' durian would be a...

Colourful Tamago
2007-07-30 08:18:00 I did this as part of a dish for my kids. You know how I always try to mask veggie to try to get them eating it. Well, this dish has always worked. They know they are eating the veggie but without the taste of it and best of all, the veggie is never over cooked this way.If you don't like the hassle of doing it the Japanese way, you can always do it the normal scramble eggs way. Oh, the Japanese do this using a rectangle pan. If you don't own one, you can still do it with a regular round frying pan to achieve that rectangle shape. Ingredients: 2 Eggs, beaten 1 tablespoon Chopped Spinach or any other vegetables 3 Crabsticks, chopped1/2 teaspoon Light Soy SauceA few drops of oil How to do it: Heat the frying pan. Oil the pan with a few drops of oil. Use kitchen paper towel if you added to much. Mix all ingredients together. Pour 1/3 of the mixture to the pan and spread it well to have it cover the pan. When the base of the egg mixture has set, flip over about 2 cm of the edge and 'r...

Sweet Vingeared Pork
2007-07-28 02:44:00 My MIL used to be a very good cook. I wished she would teach me her Sweet and Sour Pork ???. It's to die for! It's the best that I have eaten so far. Oh, I did ask her many times over the year how she did it.She always says, "Just cook like this lor." When I refused to accept "just cook like this" and probed further, she would say, "Well, you just fry the pork and put the sauce lah." Oh, oooooookay. Looks like I'm not going to get anything out from her. It has been so many years already. LOLI don't think I could ever achieve my Sweet and Sour Pork ??? anything close to hers. Crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside with just the right amount of sweet and sour taste. Hmmm .... I miss it so much! I could eat 2 bowls of rice with it alone! Just super! Don't tell me to ask her how it is done. I know what answers I'll get! LOLSo I kind of take a break from experimenting with that dish (for the moment) and came up with this instead.

Black Pepper Squid
2007-07-25 11:20:00 I couldn't get over the Black Pepper Crayfish I cooked yesterday and I just eat it again. Sooo, I just had to cook it again today but with squid, which was suppose to be for another dish.Squid taste nice with black pepper. I had cooked Grilled Squid with Black Pepper some time back. Grilled squid is tough with overcooked. The one is just nice - chewy but tender.For this dish, I cut down the black pepper to 2 tablespoons and chilli was not added too. Oh, I also reduced the water to just 2 tablespoons as this doesn't need too much cooking to get the flavours in it. You can do the same if you are using Prawns.In case you are wondering how I cut the squid, I sliced across the squid leaving about a centimeter from the edge. It looked like the squid had lots of rings attached. After which, I half it. When you fried it, it will curl and look like a flower, pretty.Okay, enough. No more black pepper dish for me liao.http://feeds.feedburner.com/wokkingm um More About: Lack

Egg Mayonnaise with Prawn

I wanted to try something out of the usual stuff I cook for the family and yet the ingredients must be obtainable here in this ulu (rural) place I live, be acceptable to my family who are so into Chinese Food and most importantly - easy.I noticed a lot of western dishes always look soooo too beautiful to be eaten and difficult to make as well. Well, not difficult for many but for this stay at home mum who only started cooking for not more than 3 years ago (and with no guidance), it is like asking my son to cook Pandan wrapped Chicken on his own.Anyway, I came out with these, which were really Delifrance-inspired, easy to make too and it was a hit at home!Ingredients:3 Hard Boiled Eggs1 tablespoon Mayonnaise2 teaspoon chopped Parsley (optional)3 small to medium PrawnsHow to do it:Remove shells from eggs and cut them into half.Carefully remove the yolks and set both yolks and whites aside sep...
Getting the hard boiled egg - Perfect
2007-07-24 07:27:00 Do you know there's a technique in making hard boiled eggs? If you don't really care how it looks like, you can just dump the eggs in the pot and let it boil. Most of the time when you cook your hard boiled eggs this way, you will noticed that there is a grey ring around the yolk. That is if you did notice it lah.But, if you want your hard boiled eggs to look nice, the yolk golden with no 'stain', I do have a way to do it...Place eggs in a pot with cold water covering the eggs at least 3 cm above.Bring the water to boil.Once the water boils, reduced heat to let the water simmer for 2 minutes.Remove from heat, cover the pot and let the eggs sit for another 10 minutes (longer for larger eggs)Remove the eggs gently and set them in a cold water (ice cold preferred).Once the eggs are not longer warm, you can remove them and start peeling.Note:Do not let the eggs boil in water for too long as it will crack and the whites will leak out. Not very nice right?If you are using refrigerated... More About: Hard , Perfect
