Fuzhou Red Rice Wine Mee Sua

Bought the red rice wine and red lees from Ye Traditions. Family love it and I cook only during circuit breaker and Phase 2 heightened alert. One small bottle of red lees can only cook twice for 3 persons while the bottle of wine is more than enough for a few meals. Recipe at next page.

Grilled King Prawns Aglio Olio

I bought a box of king prawns and was thinking what to cook with. Son was coming back this weekend and he wanted some home cooked food. I chanced upon grilled butterfly prawns on Youtube and a website for aglio olio which used fish sauce. https://www.cookinglight.com/cooking-101/spaghetti-aglio-olio-fish-sauce-recipe.

This is the recipe. Continue reading

Classic Carbonara Pasta

I want to try the classic carbonara pasta and find Jamie Oliver’s recipe. It looks pretty simple but the taste is different from what I had in the Singapore restaurants.

The recipe is modified to serve 4 and using bacon instead of pancetta. Continue reading

Pasta alla vodka

I have a bottle of Russian vodka which my hubby bought in Changi Airport for my vanilla pods. It has been sitting in the store for years. Surf the net to look for any recipe that can cook with vodka and found this recipe Penne alla Vodka. Surprisingly this dish becomes my son’s favourite meal which I prepared during his O level exams.
