Fried Rice with Baby Anchovies and Green Beans Recipe

Thursday, December 25, 2008 | Labels: | 15 Comments »

I have neglected my beloved blog for a while now - my deepest apologies to my dear readers!

Today I feature a very simple recipe for fried rice with the very humble anchovies as the main ingredient. As always, fried rice can be made with any leftover or any handy ingredients in your fridge as fried rice was created to utilise leftover rice in the kitchen in a creative and delicious manner. I purposely made some extra rice while making dinner the night before just so that I will be able to cook some delicious fried rice for my lunch the next day. One-day old rice is considered ideal for fried rice as the rice will be a little drier, hence will be great for the addition of sauces and the like.

I would also like to say "Merry Christmas and a Happy Happy New Year" to my dear readers and here's to wishing all of us a better year in 2009 or the year of the earth Ox. So, would the year of the ox or bull be better for the markets?

Claypot Drunken Crab Claws with Glass Noodles Recipe

Saturday, December 06, 2008 | Labels: , , , , , | 21 Comments »

I had a sudden and violent craving for some good and tasty glass noodles in claypot - hence my feature today. I remember having delicious glass noodles cooked in a claypot with crabs a few years ago when I was still living in Malaysia. So I decided to recreate this dish at home to hopefully satisfy my cravings. I can't wait for Chinese New Year as I will be back in Malaysia to visit my family, it will be pig-out time for sure!

This dish is really easy to cook at home and requires a relatively short preparation time provided that you use frozen crab claws! Though I'm a huge fan of crabs and seafood in general, I am too cowardly to kill live crabs which according to my dad and most others, will taste the best in cooking. Due to my cowardice, I opted for the easy way out and used some frozen and pre-cooked crab claws that I had sitting in my freezer, the noodles did not disappoint and tasted really sweet and yummy. The natural sweetness of the crabs complement the chicken broth perfectly and the glass noodles totally absorbed all the great flavours!
