Ebi Fry ( Shrimp Tempura )

Another famoust japanese food to try at my kitchen, ebi furai or ebi fry is one kind of japanese food that make from large size prawns which coated with panko flour ( i use breadcrumbs instead of panko, because i cant found panko flour at my place ). Also i cant find large prawns so i only use medium size prawns. :(
One special thing of that dish is the shrimps don't curve when we fried it. I find the video in youtube which show us how to make the shrimp don't curve and also ebi fry recipe.  My first attempt was not that success, only 3 or 5 of the prawns that not curve.

Chicken Baked Rice

For tonite dinner, i try to make chicken bake rice. inspired from mozaru that serve in Zenbu one of japanese restaurant that just open month ago. Mozaru that i try is fill with butter rice and dynamite sauce is taste a lil bit sweet and creamy. Last nite, i surfing and find some baked rice recipe. the one i need is japanese style which like Zenbu one. But, couldn't find it. So i decide to try chicken baked recipe from happyhomebaking blog and modified into small portion - one portion only.   I have made some mistake on this experiment, i divide the bake rice into two bowl half-half. so some over-baked mozzarella cheese show around the bowl, make the appearance look so messy.  for the taste not bad but not sweet as zenbu' mozaru. mine is a lil bit creamy and taste like fried rice...

surely, i will try it next time and put some sugar for make it a lil bit sweet. Okay, here is the recipe that i make a little bit modified, add some leftover carrot and onion, divide into one portion only. oh, and change heavy cream to full cream milk because i dont have it at home. For more creamy, better use heavy cream than full cream milk.

Kaki Naga Udang Ayam

Last Saturday night, i cook dinner for my family.. i try new recipe that i never eat the food before. such a great challenge for me. Kaki Naga udang ayam ( sorry, i dont know what it english name ) just like nugget. I think it call kaki naga ( lion leg ) because we stick chopstick or ice cream stick in the meat, so we can hold the stick while we eat just like drumstick too.  it is made from mince chicken meat and prawn. Quite a simple dish, we just need to process all the ingredients in food processor, steam and fries it. if  dont have food processor just use knife cut it into really small pieces and mix well with hand. This is kind of dish that we can make in large sum and frozen in the freezer. Taste good, not fishy and crunchy.
