Marion garlic prawn spaghetti

INGREDIENTS 200g (7 oz) spaghettini 1 tbsp vegetable oil 400g (14 oz) peeled and deveined prawns 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped ½ tsp chilli flakes 3 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp oyster sauce Spring Onion & Ginger Sauce: 1 cup finely sliced spring onion (scallions) 1 tbsp finely chopped ginger 1 tsp sea salt ¼ cup vegetable oil 2 tsp sesame oil INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1 To make the spring onion & ginger sauce, use a mortar and pestle to pound the spring onion, ginger and salt to a rough paste. Transfer to a heat-proof bowl. STEP 2 Place the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Heat until a wooden spoon dipped into the oil forms small little bubbles. Now pour the hot oil over the spring onion mixture. Stir to combine. Set aside for later. STEP 3 Cook the spaghettini in a large pot of boiling salted water until just al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water in case you need to thin out the pasta sauce later. STEP 4 While the pasta is cooking, heat the 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, prawns and chilli flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the prawns are pink and opaque. Pour over the soy sauce and oyster sauce. Simmer for a couple of minutes then turn the heat off until the pasta is ready. STEP 5 Drain the pasta and add into the pan with the prawns. Turn the heat back to high and toss the pasta in the sauce for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce is thick and glossy (if it looks too thick for your liking, thin out with a little pasta water). Spoon over the spring onion & ginger sauce and toss. Divide among plates and serve.

My family love plain old-school butter cake and I love to experiment with different brands in butter in the market.

Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a 20 cm x 20 cm square cake tin with baking paper. Set aside. 2. Crack eggs into a bowl, weigh in milk and vanilla extract. Set aside. 3. Pour brown sugar into mixing bowl. Mill at 10 sec, speed 10 and turn into icing sugar. 4. Insert butterfly whisk. Place butter and sugar in mixing bowl, beat 1 min 30 sec/speed 3.5. 5.

It's fluffy, light and so buttery! Pair with a cup of kopi-O and half boil egg, and your day is complete πŸ₯°.

Thermomix japanese curry sister wah

When you want to cook something quick, easy and one pot, you can't go wrong with Japanese curry. This time, I didn't add meat to the curry. Instead, I fry instant frozen tori katsu that Ketua Rumah got during marketing. Original recipe is with chicken. Feel free to modify! That's the beauty of Thermomix, where you can modify recipes according to you and your family's tastebuds. - Japanese Chicken Curry- (Original recipe) // Ingredients: 1 pc yellow onion cut into wedges 20g oil 300g chicken thigh boneless and skinless cut into cubes 3cm 200 g potatoes cut into cubes 1cm 100g carrots cut into cubes 1cm 1 Japanese curry stock cube (for 0.5l) 1 pinch of salt, adjust to taste 300g water // Preparation: 1. Place onion, oil, chicken, potatoes and carrots into mixing bowl, sautΓ© 4m/120 degrees/reverse/speed 0.5. 2. Add water, boil 4 min/100 degrees/reverse speed spoon. Simmer longer if you want the carrots and potatoes softer. 3. Add curry stock cube, cook 5 min/100 degrees/reverse speed spoon. Add salt to season and serve immediately. If you would like to serve with deep fried tori katsu (I'm using First Pride Crispy Chicken Katsu, RM14.99), omit cubed chicken thigh in the recipe and just sautΓ© vegetables, add water to boil and simmer, and add Japanese curry cube. While Thermomix cooking the curry, you can fry your tori katsu on stove or air fryer. γ„γŸγ γγΎγ™!^_^ ⚠️TIPS⚠️ Add a cube of chocolate (dark or milk, not white!) to make your Japanese curry creamier and more delicious!
