Shrimps And Bok Choy Stir Fry

Delicious shrimps and vegetables

It’s time for prawns or shrimps again for my family. I bought a packet of king prawns and a packet of ready cooked shrimps. It was a little difficult to decide which one to cook first. Finally I went for the shrimps first. I could do a shrimp and vegetable stir fry. I had bok choy in the fridge so that would probably be a very good combination. The green colour of the vegetable and the shrimps would be beautiful.

Leeks And Curried Chicken Stir Fry

Delicious leeks and curried chicken stir fry

Leeks are a very delicious vegetable. It has a very lovely sweetness. I cook this very often. Sometimes I cook leeks potato soup which my daughter likes very much. But this time I thought I want to cook it differently for a change.

I was looking into my fridge when I found a few pieces of baked curried chicken from the previous evening and some red radishes. Yes, that would be a good combination of colours and taste. My family loves curry and I thought a curry-flavoured leeks would be irresistible. It did come out very delicious.

Salted Fish And Chicken Rice Porridge

Delicious congee

If there’s anything I love, it is rice porridge, also called congee. It is simple and easy to cook and can be cooked in a wide variety of ways. If you have left over rice from the previous day, cooking congee is very quick. The weather is getting very cold so eating hot congee is definitely most welcoming.

Zucchini And Salted Fish Stir Fry

Zucchini and salted fish stir fry

My family loves zucchini, also known as courgette. I always fry it with eggs which is my family favourite. But I thought it’s time for a change. I bought a packet of frozen cod which I thought of steaming it for dinner but then no one was at home to eat. Everyone had something on. Not knowing what to do, I just added more salt to it and kept in the fridge. 2 days later, I took it out to fry. Wow…it was so salty. I thought….this could be just nice for any dish topping. True enough it was really good as a topping for fried zucchini and congee. My family liked it very much.

Fennel And Apple Juice For Health

Refreshing, healthy fennel and apple juice

Freshly made juices are important for health. They are an integral part of a healthy diet. They are full of live nutrients that get easily assimilated into our body cells quickly, especially on an empty stomach, for the many important cell functions. My family has been drinking juices for more than 10 years. I enjoy juicing and I really love freshly made juices. My best and most common juice for my family is carrot and apple juice.

Lamb And Bok Choy Stir Fry

Delicious lamb and vegetable stir fry

Well-seasoned lamb goes very well with many dishes. The lamb has to be salty and peppery enough.  Just about a week ago, I cooked Lamb And Vegetable Rice Noodles. My family loved it very much. Since my family loves bok choy, I thought this would be a good combination. I was right….it was such a good match that the big plate of vegetables was not enough for 3 persons. I have to double the vegetables next time. The flavour of the lamb infused into the vegetables beautifully.

Coconut Banana Cake

Delicious coconut banana cake

Those who follow my recipes will know that I love coconut. We grew up eating lots of coconuts in a wide variety of ways. My best is still the young coconuts. In a hot country like Malaysia, nothing is more refreshing than young coconut water. Coconut trees are found all over in Malaysia. Coconut cream is widely used in desserts and curries. It gives a beautiful flavour. Combined with pandan (screwpine) leaves, it turns any dish irresistible.
