Sauteed prawns


When there's shrimps cooking away on the barbie, I'm never far away.

As you can probably tell, I'm a big fan of prawns and can never quite get enough of them. Whether they're used for stir-fries, in salads or even as a sashimi in Japanese cuisine, I just love them.

This fabulous recipe of prawns, quail eggs, celery and wonderful summer fruits of lychee, mangoes and papaya (paw paw) is simply divine. The combination of textures in this dish makes it a stand-out for me and one that you must try.


Ingredients:

6 Prawns
6 Quail eggs
6 Lychees
1 Papaya
1 Mango
1 stalk of Celery
1 tablespoon of Olive oil
1 tablespoon of cooking wine (dry sherry)

Seasoning:

1/2 teaspoon chicken powder
1/2 teaspoon of Salt
1/2 teaspoon Pepper

Sauteed Prawns and Quail eggs


Method:

1) Shell poached quail egg and deep fry until golden brown.

2) De-vein prawns, wash and drain.

3) Peel and seed lychee; slice celery and scoop mango into little balls.


4) Slice and seed papaya in half. Scoop papaya from one half of the papaya and set aside the other half.

5) Heat oil in pan and saute celery.

6) Add quail eggs, prawn, lychee meat and wine. Add seasoning and saute until the prawns are almost cooked.

7) Add mango and papaya balls and saute for another minute or so. Dish up on the remaining half of the papaya.

8) Serve hot with rice.

Makin' bacon

Canadians love bacon... we love it so much that we've actually got our own 'race' of bacon: Canadian Bacon.

I mean, that's what Americans call it. We don't call it that, mainly because we know that we're in Canada. It'd be like a Chinese Inquisitor calling it 'Chinese Water Torture'. That's ridiculous. It's doubly ridiculous since there's "no evidence that this form of torture was ever used by the Chinese

Chocolate chip and honeycomb cookies!

These cookies are SO amazingly delicious! And they were made by a happy chance when I had a craving for cookies as well as honeycomb, and decided to combine the two ideas together. What I love about these cookies, besides the taste, is their lovely gooey texture. I kept trying to think *Mrs Fields*! And I think that must really be the key! Thinking soft gooey cookie thoughts whilst cooking! Haha

I’m sure we’ve all come across this situation. A lonely, shrivelled, defenceless *dried grape* lies on a plate screaming “eat me”, whilst people gather and point saying, “it’s a sultana”, “no, it’s a raisin”, “are you sure? I think it’s a currant”, and so on and so forth. That poor lonely dried grape! He just wants to be eaten. It’s his goal in life. Neigh, his dream! But this cannot be, until everyone has debated on *what* he really is. So I think for the sake of the poor grape we should clear up, what exactly is the difference between sultanas, currants and raisins, so that the eating can continue.

Mini apple and currant muffins

You know how some days you just feel like a *little* bite, but you just don’t know exactly what it is that you wish to bite on? You don’t want to open that bag of chips, because one chip invariably leads to the WHOLE packet, which is about 5000kJ. Neither do you really feel like biscuits because, let’s face it, biscuits have to come in pairs, and a *few* pairs later, *boom*, “where did all those biscuits go?” Not to mention, they leave you feeling sweet and craving savoury items. Oh dear! What do you do? Such a state of dilemma! Never fear, I think mini muffins are just what are needed in this situation! They’re bite size, which is great for snacks (or small children)! Mini apple and currant muffins are also sweet and fruity as well as satisfying! And best of all, when you make your muffins mini size, they’re great for sharing with the whole gang! So fun for everyone!

These cupcakes are simple to make and deliciously chocolatey! They're also perfect for those insatiable chocolate cravings! And the best thing about these chocolate cupcakes is, even if you undercook them for a minute or so, it’s still A-okay because that just means the chocolate centre will be that much gooey-er!
