Teriyaki Salmon Prawns Patties

Salmon prawns patties

I love eating patties of all types. Most of the time I made turkey mince patties. My family likes patties very much and I love cooking them for 2 main reasons. Firstly, they are delicious and secondly, I can hide in vegetables.

A few days ago I decided to make salmon and prawns patties, first time trying it. They were very delicious. Before the dinner was ready, the patties were almost all gone! My children couldn’t wait. They said the patties were really good. Of course I was very glad that they didn’t realise how much onions and coriander I put in.

Sweet Potatoes are my favourites…..delicious and nutritious. I have shared quite a few of my favourite sweet potato dishes or desserts. It is one root vegetable that is always available in my house.

Recently my friend served me pan fried sweet potato slices when I visited her. They tasted absolutely delicious even though it was just plain fried. I had never cooked that way before and didn’t realize that it can be so good. It’s soft, creamy and sweet. It has become my most recent indulgence.

Baked Spring Chicken and Egg Bok Choy was what my children cooked for dinner when I was down with a bad stomach upset a few days ago. I’m really glad that they cooked quite a big plate of vegetables. It looks simple, delicious and healthy. I think their photography is not bad too.
