my first cell dinner
Saturday, January 17, 2009 @ 10:51 pm
cell started proper on Friday and i volunteered (with the help of Mei, Zoe, Veron & Eug) to prepare wanton mee for dinner!
honestly, i haven't prepared wanton from scratch before but based on my prior experience with my mum, i thought i did pretty well! :D
So glad that everyone liked it but I thought i should otherwise improve on the sauce for the noodles. :)

I've been trying my hands at various asian dishes and I'm proud to say i'm quite a good cook!!
Shall attempt to post up more photos of the products of my culinary skills and simple recipes to share with everyone! :D
Recipe for wanton:
Wanton skin (1 pkt usually serves 50pcs)
Minced Meat 500g
2 small bunches of Scallion chopped into fine pieces (青葱）
200g prawn meat (deveined and deshelled)
100g water chestnut, chopped finely
5 tablespoon of fish sauce
1 teaspoon of sesame oil
2 tablespoon of light soy sauce
Dash of white pepper
Mix all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl with the sauces and make sure mixture is well blend with the sauces.
Use 1 teaspoonful for each wanton and fold the wanton into a small packet and seal it with dab of water on the skin.
Wanton soup:
300g of anchovies （江鱼仔）
1/2 clove of garlic, chopped finely
Stir fry the garlic till slightly brownish in a soup pot, add in anchovies and stir-fry till lightly brown. Add in water to fill up 3/4 of the pot (depends on the number of people). Boil the soup at high heat till the soup is covered with the white pulp of the anchovies. Scoop and discard the anchovies. Put all the wrapped wanton to boil in the soup until it floats on the surface.
Lastly, add in a dash of salt if the soup is not salty enough. :D
*P/S: The above measurements are my 'agar-ation'. I don't usually measure coz i use my 'feel' to put how much sauces I want - it turns out good everytime! *hee* :D:D
