Savoury Sauce Fried Prawns For Dinner & Stages Of My Yellow Hibiscus

I have 2 packets of sea white shell prawns in my freezer. I took out 1 packet to cook for yesterday's dinner.

Once the prawns were thawed, I seasoned it with some sugar and kept in the fridge before cooking. First, I shallow fried the prawns. With some oil in the wok (frying pan), I fried chopped garlic, ginger strips and 1 big onion cut into wedges until fragrant. Then I add in some oyster and soy sauce and a little water. Once it started to boil, add in the prawns, spring onions and some shaoxing cooking wine, stirred and dish out. The prawns with a little gravy goes well with steamed rice.

I cook the remaining last quarter pumpkin with dried prawns and garlic. I had 2 snake long beans after clearing the old plants, so I just added them to the pumpkin dish.

Sauteed Green Amaranth (yeen choy) with garlic.

I overcooked this dish because in the midst of cooking this dish, the local council people started the mosquitoes spray outside my house. I have to quickly cover the wok (frying pan) and waited till the smell of the spray went off.

Home cooked dinner for 2 people.

Steamed rice for hubby and I ate the pumpkin in place of rice because hubby doesn't like pumpkin.

My yellow hibiscus - from a bud till it wilted.

A tight bud

Loosening of the tight bud

Unfolding of the petals

Opening up

98% fully opened yellow hibiscus

Lastly, a wilted hibiscus flower

My Water Jasmine plant full of flowers.

The flowers are of single layer petals.

Tiny weed flowers on the left and my Cockscomb flowers on the right.

Tiny red flowers of the Red Cypress Vine by the roadside.

Peregrina flowers by the roadside.

He is like a father to us,

tender and sympathetic to those who reverence him.

For he knows we are but dust and that our days are few and brief,

like grass, like flowers, blown by the wind and gone forever.

(Psalm 103:13-16, The Living Bible-TLB)
