One Friday evening, hubby was in the vicinity of the evening market in our area and he happened to pass by the fish stall. He came home with a kilogram of big seawater prawns. I kept half in the freezer and used half to cook for dinner. I have not been cooking regularly. Not surprising that my mind went blank when I looked at the prawns. In the end, I peeled off the shells, leaving the tails intact.
This lazy me decided to steam the prawns. I marinated the prawns with salt, sugar, pepper, chopped ginger, chopped garlic, oyster sauce, sesame oil and Chinese cooking wine before I steamed the prawns. Fortunately, the prawns tasted good for both of us, no complaint.
I cooked Chinese mustard (gai choy) with garlic, ginger slices, chicken gizzard and liver and when all is cooked, I add in the egg, stirred and dished out to serve. That lone egg has been sitting in my fridge for some time. We ate these 2 dishes with steamed rice.

But the good man - what a different story!
For the good man - the blameless, the upright,
the man of peace - he has a wonderful future ahead of him.
For him there is a happy ending.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie!
DeleteIt looks delicious. And you even know how to cook without a recipe! That takes a very good cook!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny! Actually, I am not a good cook, that is why I like the simple way of cooking.
DeleteAre prawns the same our shrimp? I admit to being intimidated were I to have them presented to me as they were to you! That mix of spices and oil must be the secret of making things taste so good!
ReplyDeleteOur sunsets are a couple of hours earlier than yours....
Thank you, Linda! I think there are some differences. The next time I will take a pic to show you our prawns! Lol!
