Char Siew (BBQ Pork)

Rated : Absolute Yum-in-the-Tum!!!!

This by far is the most easiest and laziest recipe I have ever attempted. Even my 1st time attempt was a success...CANNOT GO WRONG ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unless except if it's Chow Tar (burnt)..then I cannot help you la!

Get this..

1 lovely Pork Fillet (mui yoke - in canto) - try to slice away the whitish layer - get butcher to do it.

Season this lovely baby at least 2 hours, with..
1 level tsp salt
4 tbs sugar
2 tbs light soya sauce
1 tbs dark soya sauce
1 1/2 tbs rice wine (optional)
1/2 tsp 5 spice powder
3 tbs tim cheong (aka Hoisin Sauce)
3 tbs water

Look..honestly, you don't have to follow each tablespoon (tbs) or teaspoon (tsp) measurement so strictly...this just a general guideline. Be guided by your inner voice...and your hungry stomach... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!!!

Just marinade this baby in a Freezer Bag or covered bowl/tupperware, leave in fridge. The longer you marinade..the more tender it will be.... Ohhhhh! I can almost BITE into it!!!..and then wanna cook..do this..

For Toaster oven, create a makeshift bowl out of Aluminium Foil..pop in the lovely piece of meat plus its' marinade into it, close it up...and set the oven dial to the max. Then, if you want crispy burnt bits..just open the alum foil..and set the dial for abt 4-5 minutes.

For oven, ...ah..do the same as above la. So lazy to write so much!

Spaghetti with Tomato, Minced Pork, Dried Chillies and White Button Mushrooms.

Rated : Absolute Yum-in-the-Tum!

With any type of pasta, a can of whole tomatoes, dried chillies, white button mushrooms, minced meat (I nicked my kids' meat - I normally mince a big chunk of pig/chicken once a week) garlic, shallots and seasoning of Mixed Dried Herbs, salt and pepper.... you, too, can do it, the authentic Eye-Talian way!

Now...everyone must do the p0rn0-ic and orgasmic sound that Nigella Lawson does...ok?

Oooo...I sauteed those three together with olive oil, the garlic (mmmmm!), the shallots (ahhhhhh!) and the pre-soaked dried chilles (ummmmm...the heat..the heat!).

Threw in the mushrooms and canned whole tomatoes....OOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Stir fry it abit. When slightly soften, throw in the minced meat (if using beef, you have to let it simmer longer)...Hmmmmmmmmm...!

Don't forget the pasta. Al Dente puh-lease...*flutter flutter eyelashes*

BURP! Ahhhhh...another satisfied customer.

Garlic Butter Prawns

Rated : Absolute Yum in the Tum.

Chop Garlic, and marinate them prawns with it, campur olive oil and salt....put in fridge for a couple of hours...or..heck...you can even do it the morning..and forget abt it till evening!

When time to bake, heat up oven 225c for abt 5-7 minutes. Cube the unsalted butter..and spread the love around them prawns.

Put in oven for 10 minutes...until you smell a piece of heaven.

To those without ovens, you can also use the toaster oven (it really works). Just do a makeshift bowl out of Aluminium Foil..and less time to cook..becoz of the small space..the heat is extremely intense!

Gone in less than 300 seconds....
