Drunken Prawns

Drunken prawns is a Cantonese dish and it is very easy to prepare.

The key to cook drunken prawns is to marinade the live prawns well with chinese wine but I substitute dead prawns with the live one although it wont be as delicious because I find it cruel to cook them alive.

Ingredients :

• Large Prawns 300g
• Gingers Sliced
• Sugar 1 Tbsp
• Chinese cooking wine 3 Tbsps
• Dried Scallops 2 big
• Tong Kwai a few
• Tong Sum 10g
• Wai San a few
• Wolfberries a handful
• Salt / Coriander
• Say Sauce 1 Tbsp

Boiling the chinese herbs

Method

1. Trim prawns and place prawns in deep bowl to season with wine, salt, gingers and soy sauce.
2. Soak dried scallops for at least 2 hours
3. Pour 500ml water and boil Tong Kwai, Tong Sum, Wai San and Wolfberries for about 20mins then pour in seasoned prawns and dried scallops and bring to simmering boil for another 10mins
4. Serve hot and garnish with Coriander.

HapPy ChInEsE NeW yEaR Reunion Dinner

The reunion dinner is the eve of Lunar New year and is always draws all family members back home to eat dinner together, normally in the evening of the CNY eve's the streets will be quite quiet. This year my mum did most of the marketing for lunar New Year reunion dinner, so, my responsibility is to cook some nice dishes for her and myself.

As usual I worked half day during lunar New Year eve's. So, after work I took MRT to Serangoon and meet my Boyfriend Scott :) This is the 1st time I mentioned him in my blog as we were together for only 3 weeks, in future I believe there will be more to come.. cookies, cakes and food that I bake and cook for him, photos of places we travel together hehe :)

Okie, back to Reunion dinner, traditionally for chinese families they will have steamboat for dinner but for my family is only me and my mum, so is easier for us to cook a few dishes and soup. This year, I fry tomatoes prawns, steam lap cheong, fry vegetables with mushrooms and chicken soup.

My Set dinner and of coz of importantly it's serve with white rice :)

My Happy mum ready for dinner
