… Hoi Sin Prawn & Noodle Bowls
It’s Friday and I’m cooking for my brother Gordy and my housemate Gavin.
I went shopping today for three meals (all of which include sea food of some sort, which often makes the shopping more difficult) and I have to make some puddings for church on Sunday and I did it all in just one supermarket. Well done Asda, again. My least favourite supermarket to shop in, but it is proving to be the most resourceful and I think it is cheaper, generally.
I am cooking this one especially for my brother. He particularly likes steak. He particularly likes Asian food. And he particularly likes seafood. This meal has it all.
This is a fun meal to cook. There is quite a lot to do. Interestingly you get the steak on first. Well nearly first you get the nuts and sesame seeds toasting off first then you get on with the steak. I think this is so that, if you are that way inclined, you could actually cook the steak to death (figuratively, not literally, I know it is, in fact, already dead).
My hob issues doesn’t have too much effect on me tonight and for a while I thought I’d finish with time to spare. There is quite a bit to bring together at the end and getting the noodles and other bits and bobs in the little bowls is more than a little bit fiddly. It’s a little over the fifteen minutes in the end. But I’m not too disappointed with this.
This is a really delicious meal. Really, really delicious. One of the best. Yet again, one of my favourites. I guess it’s a little like an Asian surf and turf. You really ought to try this.
Gavin, the supposed vegetarian, eats more steak than anyone else. The steak is lovely. It is rubbed generously with salt, pepper and Chinese five spice. And it is lovely. I did slightly over cook it. Not over cook it, over cook it. But it was just that bit more cooked than I would have liked. Nevertheless absolutely lovely.
Oh and by the way I bought a new pan today. It’s the blue one in the photographs. Nice, isn’t it!
It’s Cajun Prawns for lunch and Asian Sea Bass (bream actually) for dinner tomorrow.
