Garlic Noodles (Spaghetti)

September 30, 2017September 30, 2017 7shasha7

There’s apparently some famous garlic noodle dish in San Francisco by a Vietnamese family restaurant. Today I decide to make one, though with spaghetti, after quickly browsing through a few youtubers recipes.

Here’s my take on this garlicky carb laden meal.

Brown butter, like a whole lot then add like a tablespooon of minced garlic. Add a bit of oil to stop the garlic from burning.

Add a whole lot of garlic powder, some chicken powder and oyster sauce. Mix mix mix.

Add the spaghetti and then like a cup of grated parmesan cheese.

Mix mix mix. Add a handful of fried garlic slices. These I bought from the market. It’s easily available in my Little Red Dot.

And voila! I think my picture is upside down but the taste ain’t! Oh, don’t forget to season with some sea salt!

Delicious eaten hot. Enough carbs for today, though.

Fish Fry

February 10, 2017 7shasha7

When we were in Texas a few years ago, the Man introduced us to this brand of coating for frying fish. And when we were in KLCC< we saw this same brand sold at the Cold Storage. So one day, I decided to fry some fish for the family. The Boy loves it. I think it goes well in sandwiches. Looks like if ever we go to KL again, I’ll be buying a few more packets home!

Prawns in spicy soy sauce

March 16, 2016 7shasha7

There’s a new brand of soy sauce in the local market. It’s spicy and salty and full of umaminess. This is the brand that has taken the makciks here by storm. 😂

Today I thought I’d use this to cook my prawns. In goes red sliced chillies (preferably bird eyes but I didnt have any today) and curry leaves and garlic. Then the prawns with a dash of white pepper, and when the prawns have turned pink, add the spicy soy sauce with a teaspoon of sugar.
