Simple Recipes to Share

[kwokwc]

I would like to share my grilled salmon. I think the trick to cooking salmon, try to cook on the same day that you buy, so that it is fresher. I read from some website before, usually salmon will taste nicer if cooked on the same day.


Ingredients:
1 piece of salmon
1/2 lemon
salt
sesame oil
freshly grounded black pepper
1 orange
2 teaspoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of corn flour

Steps:
Step 1:Marinate the salmon with salt, sesame oil, black pepper lemon and orange.
Step 2:Put the salmon aside for at least 1 hour.
Step 3:Grill the salmon on LOW for about 12 minutes.
Step 4:Bash the salmon with the leftover marinate occasionally.
Step 5:Heat up the wok, add the left over marinate and sugar.
Step 6:Add a bit of water into the cornflour, mix well, and pour into the wok slowly to thicken the sauce.
Step 7:Either pour the sauce over the salmon or put the sauce aside for dipping.

Just didn’t know what to eat for dinner and made this. Been a long time since I last ate this.


Really super duper simple. Took all of 5mins to prepare.

Silken tofu
sambal belachan
lime

Steam the tofu
Fry a teaspoon or 2 of the balachan in a little oil
Dump the belachan on the tofu and squeeze a lime and you have a tofu dish.

hee..I cooked curry last weekend and ended up with some leftover (approx 100ml) coconut milk. I was contemplating to use it to prepare dessert eg Green bean soup or bubor hitam. In the end, I used it to cook nasi lemak for lunch yesterday.

1. Drizzle over mango (or fruit of choice) and eat.
2. Mix into yogurt.
3. Make coconut rice.
4. Make coconut/lime/cinnamon/pineapple rice pudding.
5. Add some spices, veggies, broth, & noodles for a curry soup.
6. Toss chunks of pumpkin or fresh or stale bread/muffins/waffles with coconut milk & bake for a quick snack.
7. Add to blended young coconut and/or bananas, vanilla extract, palm sugar (to taste), freeze for a healthy icecream substitute
8. French toast

OR Freeze until you're inspired to do something with it

If and when I freeze leftover coconut milk, i pour it into a ice tray. This makes it easier to take what I need when I need it. I do the same for the chicken/fish/vegetable stock I prepare at home. This way I have my own healthy soup stock cubes and not commercial ones laden with MSG.

jedamum,

You query got me all curious about the uses of coconut milk. I hardly use it in my cooking, as I use low fat evaporated milk or milk when I make curries.

Here are two links about storing coconut milk. They both have differing views:
