New Year, New Beginnings. And here's the new project.
Back in the kitchen today to try out the salted egg yolk bittergourd and tom yam paste fried prawns. The first was inspired after tasting this delicious dish at a day trip with friends in Pengerang, Malaysia. The second is to try and use up the leftover tom yam paste I had from previous episodes while trying to cook up a tom yam paste pasta.
Tom Yam paste fried prawn
Salted Egg Yolk bittergourd
The tom yam one turned out really well. It was yummy and if I'm doing it again next round, will deshell the prawns.
The salted egg yolk bittergourd was a slight disappointment as it was not as tasty as expected. I should have added some salt as I didn't know mum had bought the 'not so salty' kind of salted egg. Thus, it came out tasting a bit bland.
All in all, pretty satisfied with the results and glad I did this to kickstart my 1 Jan 2012.
Till the next cooking adventure, happy lunching.
Oh and I forgot, yesterday, I also tried my hand at a dessert. Snow fungus soup with longan and ginkgo nuts. Originally intended to make this for somebody but somehow, it became my last project for 2011 and I ate it myself. It was a success, nevertheless.
