Salad Ideas...

So what do you do if you have loads of lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, avocado and fetta cheese in your fridge? Well.. the answer is to have salad everyday! Haha.. here are a variety of ideas for you guys... and they involve very basic ingredients.

Spiced chicken and egg salad.

Salad with Pan-fried salmon with shitake and oyster mushroom sauce.

Simple salad with all the ingredients and red onions topped with balsamic cream.

Steamed Seafood and Tofu

I love steaming my food - the natural sweetness that the seafood adds to the stock is so delicious and good for you! So.. how do you steam an entire meal in one plate? Easy.. hehe.. here's a step by step guide.

1. Use a large deep set plate.

2. Add fresh basa fish fillets marinated in cornflour, salt and pepper.

3. Pile on 6 LARGE fresh prawns.

4. Pile on tofu slices.

5. Add mushrooms, sour plums, sliced chilli and ginger, spring onions or coriander and tomatoes.

6. Add 2 tablespoon of light soya sauce, sesame oil, 2 tablespoon of water and a dash of white pepper.

7. Steam for 15 - 20 minutes.

8. Splash shaoxing jiu (chinese cooking wine) and serve immediately!

After steaming, I placed the tofu and mushrooms on another plate and topped with fried shallots.

I also cooked a simple cabbage and carrots dish.

Simple Homecooked meal...

After being in Victor Harbor for 2 weeks.. I was just looking forward to some home-cooked food and I had the biggest craving for tofu in a tangy sauce!

So I made sweet and sour pork, prawns and tofu.

How do you make this?

What you need: Chopped garlic, tofu, sliced pork and prawns.

Sauce: Sweet chilli sauce, tomato sauce, sliced fresh chillies. Corn starch to thicken the sauce.

So easy! :)

You can batter the pork and add pineapple slices or capsium but I like it simple!
