Shrimp & Brocolli

1 small carrot finely sliced.

I brocolli.

Do not throw out the stem. Trim off the rough edges and finely slice.

Remove the shell of the shrimp, de-vein and cut into bite size pieces.

Add oil and garlic to wok when the garlic turns golden brown add the carrot and borcolli stem. Fry till soft.

Add the "top" of the brocolli and fry till it starts to change colour.

Add the shrimps.

Fry till the shrimp is 70% cook add 1/2 cupwater, 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce and 1 teaspoon dark soya sauce. Simmer till soft.

Done!
Letitia's Verdict: 8/10 ( Her all time favourite)
Mummy's verdict: Simple enough to make. Adults can eat it too.

Baby Pak Choy with Mushroom in Chicken Broth

Baby Pak choy 1 packet.

Remove individual stalks and soak in water for 15 minutes, it has lots of soil.

I usually still trim the ends off.

I box Oyster Mushroom.

Washed and cut the stems out.

Bring water to boil and add dash of salt. Submerge vegetables into the boiling water and boil till leaves change dark shade of green. Remove immediately.

Boil mushrooms in hot water for a couple of minutes till cooked.
Place cooked vegetables and mushroon in a serving dish.

To make the sauce. Bring to boil about 1/2 cup of chicken stock, add 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon corn flour that is pre-mixed with water. Once the stock thickens and turns from cloudy to clear turn of fire and pour over vegetable and mushroom.


Letitia's verdict: 7/10 (she likes the mushroom and loves the sauce, not so crazy about the baby pak choy)
Mummy's verdict: So easy to make, no oily kitchen. I ate all the vegetables.
