Fried pomfret, Oat-Honey coated prawns, Stir-fried Snow peas with mini corn & minced pork


It's strange. Really. Frying a fish is not what it seems. When I was a kid, eating crispy brown fried fish with a tangy zest of soya sauce on it means sitting on cloud 9. I had never pondered on the technicalities of frying a fish till now. And even if I did, i wouldn't think it will be hard. And by golly, was I stumped.

Frying a fish is hard! It is preposterously harder when you do not fry it with a non-stick pan a.k.a Teflon pans. My 2 black promfrets looked like some ancient sea creatures from the mysterious depths of the sea, after I cooked it. Everything stuck to the pan! I'm so annoyed that I'm going to trying frying a fish again this week. Somehow. Grrrrr.

The snow peas with minced meat and young corn is good. The prawn with honey oats is flat. As in, the oat tasted flat, the steamed prawns was absolutely rubbish in taste and the honey was not cohesive with the rest of the ingredients. Next time, I have to find new, better matching ingredients. It was a testing dish anyway.

But, trust me, the fried fish was worse.

Who washed the dishy? Pudding & Mehmeh

Our own recipe for the snow peas with young corn and minced porky:
2 cloves garlic, smashed
half a bowl of minced pork, seasoned with soy sauce etc
2 packets of snow peas, vines removed
5 young corns, washed and cut into 3 pcs each stick
1-2 tblspoon of soy sauce
1.5 tblspoon of oyster sauce
5-7 tblspoon of water
Throw in the garlic, fry til got the smell, add in porky and toss them around in the pan til half-cooked. Add the snow peas and corn and toss further. Add in oyster sauce , soy sauce to taste, and some water for the veggies to simmer in. Put on the cover until veggies are soft and yummy.
