Fine dining in the jungle. :D

DiSH 214 : ASSAM PRAWNS

ASSAM PRAWNS

Sunday, February 5

This dish is cooked by a friend of ours, G. 

Oh, I finally realized my mistake when I attempt this dish. 

I add water. You must NOT add water, says G. 

So, that's the secret. 

Put enough oil so the prawns won't stick to the wok or pan. 

Just don't add water, and I guarantee you, 

you'd be able to prepare this dish beautifully. 

It's kindergarten easy. :D

 

Step 1 
De-vein the prawns. 
Remove shell, leaving head and tail. 
Marinate with assam paste, black sauce and sugar. 



Step 2 
Pour a generous amount of oil onto wok. 
Saute minced garlic. 


Step 3 
Add the prawns. 
Fry Fry Fry. 
Sprinkle sugar on  top. 
It's about ready when the prawns begin to get sticky. :D

Here's our lunch at the waterfall resort. Fried mee hoon with curry chicken and assam prawns. Hmmmmm ...

The prawns are absolutely finger - lickin' good. :D

Yummy!!!

DiSH 213 : MISO STEAMBOAT

MiSo STeaMBoaT

Saturday, February 4

I never knew steamboat was so easy to prepare until this weekend at a getaway with family members and some friends. A friend of ours, G, showed us how easy it is to prepare steamboat using miso for soup base. 

No hassle and totally fuss - free. 

Bryan bought a small tub of Kappo Miso. It's orange-brown in color and in cream paste.

This is a really simple dish to prepare.

 Step 1 : Prepare Soup

Boil water in a large pot.

Shred 2 daikons.

Add into the pot.

The daikon will sweeten the soup.

No salt.

That's all you need to do for the soup at this point.

Step 2 : Prepare Vegetables

Chinese Cabbage.

Stuffed bitter gourd and fish balls.

Fresh tofu.

Young corn. Chop chop chop.

Green leafy vegetables.

Dried bean curd.

Step 3

Soup is boiling. 

Add miso.

We added about half a tub of miso into the pot. 

That's all there is to it. 

How simple and so very delicious. :D

Setting up the steamboat.

Add chicken and ...

 ... all the other stuffs in.

Oh, of course, it wouldn't be complete without fried garlic oil, sambal belacan and "cabai burung" (bird's eye chilli) in soya sauce.

The soup was simply amazing. :D 

What an incredibly delicious dinner we all had 

despite being in the middle of the jungle.
