Last week, I tried cooking TEMPURA!! yay!!
First attempt and here's the result!! GREAT!! hehe
For the recipe, I used a packet of tempura flour and prawns, onion, zucchini, and squid.
First just add some water to the flour and mix it.
Make sure that the batter isn't too watery or too sticky, go by feeling, and that's what I did...
Or you can just follow the instruction at the back of the package.
When you get the right batter, just add in your ingredients.

But before you do that, dip your ingredients into a little amount of flour just too make sure the batter stick to the ingredient. :]
Add oil to your pan, and make sure the oil is hot when you put in the ingredients.
Then, fry it till colour becomes golden brown.
Serve best when hot!

For the Tom Yam squid, it was my first attempt too, and I must say that it turn out not bad.. ;]
Cooked it for dinner... Finger lickin' good.. hehe
I didn't really go by measurement and stuff again.. sob.. sorry guys..
I really did just go by feeling, and always do, but I'm hoping I'll measure the next time. *giggles*
So, umm, the ingredients are, squid, onions, garlic, yellow/red/green pepper, peppermint and tom yam paste.
So, umm, the ingredients are, squid, onions, garlic, yellow/red/green pepper, peppermint and tom yam paste.
First, I sliced the squid into small slices, the peppers into small cubes and also the onions and garlic.
Then hit up the pan, and add 2 table spoon of oil.
Add in garlic and onion and stir fry it till fragrant is out! *mmmm..
Then add in the squid and continue to stir fry it for 2-3 minutes and then add in the capsicum/peppers and continue to stir fry it.
Add in the tom yam paste, and then a little amount of water to make sure that it isn't dry.
Continue to stir fry it for another 3-4 minute and when you are about the off the fire, add in the peppermint leaves.
And YAY!! you're done!!
Tomorrow will be 17th of October

btw, the guys that are qualified to be in MY HUBBY LIST are TVXQ!! Yeah BAby!!just to let you know.. lol Yes! I'm obsessed with them! And hopefully forever will be!! muahaha!!
Sigh... I really do hope that someday, someway, somehow I eventually know "know" them, and they eventually know "know" me... if you get what I meant.
If that would and could really happen...
I will definitely cook for them!! BE THEIR PERSONAL CHEF!! yes!
Everything I cooked will be added with a secret ingredient... which is Love... *grinning sheepishly~~ although my cooking isn't good to the point yet but eventually I will!!
