Seafood Dinner :-)

Time for some recipes :-D

For dinner, after our scrumptious dim sum brunch, I grilled some baby octopus and prepared Sweet Sour Udang Galah which hubby caught. I only used half of the udang galah, as I may want to make something else with the rest of it, ehehehe...

Grilled Marinated Octopus

you need:
baby octopus, cleaned and scored
light soy sauce
finely diced fresh red chillies
finely diced garlic
minced ginger

how to:
leave to marinate about 1/2 hour, then frill until cooked through :-)
serve HOT!

These huge (very sweet) strawberries were brought back by hubby from Japan. Needless to say they were marvelously sweet and fragrant :-D :-D :-D

Sweet Sour Udang Galah

you need:
Udang Galah (or any other type of shellfish of your choice)
garlic*
ginger*
cili padi*
(pound together all * ingredients)
1 large onion, quartered
oyster sauce
tomato sauce
sweet chilli sauce
water, as preferred
a dash of fish sauce

how to:
heat oil in wok and fry the pounded ingredients until fragrant and almost brown. add in the cleaned udang galah and cook until they turn almost totally pink. pour in the combined sauces, mixed with a bit of water, together with the quartered onions. add in the fish sauce and check seasoning. continue to cook until done, and serve HOT with rice.

This is her usual place to 'stay' when we need to do other stuff, and even though there are probably hundreds of debates about using the television as your 'nanny', sometimes it just can't be helped!!
