What’s cookin’?
Tue, 31 October 2006, 12:17 am by jadeiteI know my mommy loves me because she cooks me all my favorite foods when I go home to eat :) Tonight we had my favorite pork kidney soup, chawanmushi, abalone mushrooms and this new thing - a really cool beancurd skin wrap.
That’s her making the wrap…
First she cuts the beancurd skin into squares and smears a bit of fishpaste on one corner. Then she lays a peeled prawn on top of the paste, and then a slice of slightly unripe mango on top of all that. Then she wraps the beancurd skin into a rectangle around it, sealing it with egg white…
Mmmm this is what it looks like after it gets all wrapped up, before it’s deep-fried..
Too bad no pictures of what it looked like after it gets fried - it got eaten up pretty fast - but it was a sort of warm crispy tasty brown. My mouth is watering thinking of it. It was a bit too salty cuz of the beancurd skin so Mom will have to think of a way to make it less salty next time…still, it was really good.
And this is Onn doing experiments on agar in the lab, for his FYP. I tell you, I have a whole new respect for engineering students :/ I feel like what I’m learning in school is complete bull compared to what they learn. Sniffle.
I remember your kitchen! So nice…hahahaha
And yes, sometimes I feel that what I’m learning is bull too!
Why would a primary/secondary/JC kid (or anyone for that matter) want to know why determiners should appear before adjectives and nouns, and that you can split a syllable into a coda, nucleus and onset?
(see? no one understood what I just typed…I’m in a weird MAJOR…boo)
[...] The fried bean curd rolls were to die for. I do recall posting an entry about the ones my mother made awhile back. [...]
