Info to share…
Do you know that in
those days, there was no electricity. My
great great grandmother could bake cake as equally nice as my mother does now. It
was the way they were baked that was different.
Long time ago, fish
was grilled on open wood fire too. My grandmother told me that her mother would use the pestle to pound the ingredients
in the mortar. The ingredients were used to marinate the fish. Before it was grilled
over the fire, she would wrap the fish in a banana leaf. It will make the fish
smells good and tastier.
We now live in a world
where food is cooked using electricity. My mother bakes cakes in the electric
oven, and she grills fish on a hot plate. She did not pound the ingredients
like my great grandmother did. She uses the electric blender and wraps the fish
with the aluminium foil.
Well, what do think?
How will people cook in the next 10 years?
Lets list out how the
cooking methods different before and now….

Lucky children in Malaysia grow up eating these delicious prawn fritters called Cucur Udang.
Super easy to make, they’re a good way to get the kids eating a new protein. Not that I desperately need them to grow fond of expensive seafood, but sometimes my best friend and I like a bit of adult gourmet, and this recipe is a way to deliver both a kid-friendly and adult-tasty dinner in one dish (just sprinkle over some chilli, spring onions and coriander for the adults).
And they’re cooked in no time at all, completing the recipe golden triangle of interesting, easy and delicious.
Cucur Udang
1 cup self-raising flour
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp ground turmeric
(for colour, optional)
250g cooked prawns
4 spring onions,
thinly sliced
125g can corn kernels, drained
Handful of bean sprouts
1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
2 eggs, whisked
Canola oil, for frying
White pepper
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp ground turmeric
(for colour, optional)
250g cooked prawns
4 spring onions,
thinly sliced
125g can corn kernels, drained
Handful of bean sprouts
1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
2 eggs, whisked
Canola oil, for frying
White pepper
Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and turmeric (if using).
Peel and devein the prawns then chop them into a texture to suit your family (I need to nearly mince mine). Add to the bowl with the spring onion, corn and bean sprouts.
Mix it all together and add the chilli sauce, egg and pepper. Add 1 cup water, a little at a time, until you have a good batter consistency.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium–high heat. Spoon in ¼ cup amounts of the mixture and cook for a couple of minutes. Turn over and cook the other side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towel.
Serve the fritters with salad and bean sprouts

What Are Good For You...
Do you like these kind of food?
Seafood
Good to Know
Prawns, crabs, squids and fishes are all considered seafood.
Seafood is a good source of zinc, iodine and protein. Another important
feature found in most deep sea fish are omega 3 fatty acids which are
required for human biological function.
Good to Remember
Shellfish should be cleaned properly before cooking; if not sand
and debris will remain. Roughly clean shellfish with brush. Soak the
shellfish in water with salt for 20 minutes and drain water. Soak
shellfish 3 times to remove all sand and debris.You don't have to cook it for so long!
