Simple dinner at home with dear and Phyllis - tomyam pork
ribs, chawanmushi and stirfry kailan.
Chawanmushi was simple, with eggs added to chicken stock, and I also put in some crabsticks.
Such a pity that I got duped by the aunty
at the market and bought kailan instead of baby kailan. But thankfully, the
awesome pork ribs (only marinated it for 20mins with tomyam sauce) saved the
day!
Prawn Noodles soup which had an awesome punch of prawn taste coz the soup stock was made with prawn heads, shells and tails. It was supposed to be stirfry but coz the soup looked too yummy that I had to pour in all of it! Only ingredients were prawns and sotong. Hubby loved it totally, and both of us finished all the sinful soup in our bowls!

First time I did an all vegetarian-friendly meal (no garlic
too!), coz Shih Wee preferred not to eat meat and since all guests were alright
with it, I started doing research and prepared this meal - which won praises
from Maggie and all.
The tofu soup was boiled since morning with
bak choy, red dates and carrots - about 20mins high heat and then 3-4hrs low
heat. Off the fire and let it rest till about 2hrs before dinner, and added in
the japanese mushrooms, enoki and tofu.
Mushrooms dumplings were made in the afternoon.
Had chopped the shitake and portobello mushrooms into small chunks, then
stirfry them with some sesame oil and vegetarian oyster sauce. After they had
cooled down, I wrapped them in dumpling skin and kept in the fridge for about
2hrs before airfrying them (180deg for 7mins, then 200deg for 3mins)
Stirfry naibai was norm... added some huatiao
wine and vegetarian oyster sauce for flavouring.
Japanese cucumber kimchi was done by mixing them
up in the morning then keeping them in the fridge until dinner time.
