Recipe - Seafood Yee Mee (Claypot Noodles)

This brown colour noodles have many names. Yee mee, Poh Chai mee and Yee Fu Mee are some of the names given to these noodles. These are wheat noodles fried till crispy brown. These noodles have a nice aroma and flavourful taste when cooked.

The noodles are commonly served in a claypot, stewed with seafood or other kinds of meat. They are just as tasty when served as a soup dish or stir fried.

In this recipe, I stir fry the noodles with squid and prawns, and added some vegetables to make it a complete one dish meal. It is a quick and easy dish and 1 piece of the noodles is enough to serve 2.

Recipe - Stir Fry Enoki Mushroom With ChaoSanSi

What is chaosansi ? The can of chaosansi is a mixture of crunchy and spicy mix of shredded pork, shredded shitake mushrooms and shredded bamboo shoots. It is tasty on its own if you do not mind that it is a bit salty. It goes very well with a bowl of porridge or congee. Chao menas stir fry and san si means shredded three.

The can of chaosansi is also very versatile as an ingredient for stir fry with other vegetables. In this way, the dish won't be so salty.

A variety of vegetables can be added. Bean sprouts, dow miao (pea sprouts), shredded carrots are some examples. It is really up to you. Vegetables add colour, crunch and a whole lot of goodness to the dish. In this recipe, I simply stir fry the chaosansi with a bunch of enoki mushrooms.

Ingredients:
1 can of chaosansi (198 grams)
1 bundle of enoki mushrooms, 100 grams

Method:
Cut off the base of the mushrooms and rinse with water

Heat a wok or pan.
Toss in the chaosansi and mushrooms and stir fry for about 2 minutes.

There is no need to add oil or salt.
You still get a spicy and crunchy dish of mixed vegetables with shredded pork.

Joke - What's For Dinner

A husband feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to, and he thought she might need a hearing aid. 

Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem. 

The doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the doctor a better idea about her hearing loss. 

"Here's what you do," said the Doctor. "Stand about 40 feet away from her and in a normal conversational speaking tone, see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."

That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and the husband was in the den. 
He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens." 

Then in a normal tone he asks, 
"Honey, what's for dinner?"
No response. 


So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, 
"Honey, what's for dinner?" 
Still no response. 


Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, 
"Honey, what's for dinner?" 
Again he gets no response. 


So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" 
Again there is no response. 


So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner? " 
"Ralph, for the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!"

Watercress is rich in glucosinolates and also phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) and has recently been found to protect against smoke-induced lung cancer.

A popular way is to cook the watercress in a soup with some meat. In this recipe, I stir fry the watercress with minced pork. The minced pork add sweetness to the dish.

Recipe - Pan Fry Black Pomfret With Chilli Paste

The black pomfret can be found in the Indo Pacific coastal areas.  The sociable brown fish forms large schools.

The black pomfret has light texture and a sweet, rich flavour. It has high fat content.

Fish is a high protein, low fat food. Fatty fish are high in heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids, the good fats.

A popular way to cook this fish is to fry it, either shallow fry or deep fry, giving a crispy skin and a juicy meat on the inside.

By itself, the fried black pomfret is very flavourful, but you can spice up the dish with a variety of sauces like Thai chilli sauce and oyster sauce or sweet sour sauce. In this recipe, I add chilli paste to go with the fish.

Ingredients - Fish
3 black pomfrets, about 500 grams, gutted

black pomfret

Prepare fish for frying:
Rub the fish lightly with salt
Sit for 15 minutes and rinse with water
Pat dry and coat with turmeric powder and corn flour

Ingredients - chilli paste
10 pcs dried chilli, blend finely
1 large onion, coarsely blend
Half teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar

Method
Heat 2  tbs of oil in a wok or pan on medium till hot
Slide the fish into the hot wok and fry each side for about 3 minutes, till golden brown.
Set aside on serving plate

Use the remaining oil and fry the blended onion till fragrant, about 2 minutes
Add chilli paste, salt and sugar and fry till fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Serve the fried chilli paste on top of the fish.
Squeeze lime juice for extra fragrance.
