Episode 5: Stir fried veggies with minced meat and scallops

Yes I'm updating again!



So yeah, the usual ingredients were used for the stir fried veggies; garlic, onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, a pinch of sugar..and fried garlic and belacan to top it off.



Now for the next dish, minced beef and scallops. Weird? A little, I guess. In case it's not clear (due to the noise from the exhaust fan), the ingredients used to make the base for the dish are garlic, onions, chilies (green), lemon grass and crab paste, from your friendly neighbourhood grocery.



Once the base is well mixed (cook for one minute), add the minced meat, some seasonnel, sugar and curry powder. Ensure that the meat is thoroughly cooked before adding the scallops, as scallops cook much quicker.



Tada! Spicyminced beef and scallops.



I must say I enjoy Kelvin's minced meat dishes, and this was no exception. It must be the crab paste and curry powder combo. The scallops also add variety to an otherwise rather straight forward dish, which just made me want to eat more and more..so try it if you want to dabble in unconventional food pairings!

Episode 3: Funky Curry

Yes it's been a little quite here recently, due to me prepping for my new job, house hunting and being lazy to upload. But yeah, here's the next installment which shows Kelvin tackling the very versatile dish, curry. In his own unique style that is, which is why this dish is called funky curry. Not because it tasted bad, ok? Just watch the videos.

But first, a picture of some of the herbs/spices used: chicken stock, garlic, curry leaves, cumin seeds, sugar, curry powder and err...some sort of paste.



For the main ingredients we used minced beef, brussel sprouts and potatoes. There were other things added that I haven't mentioned, and something unexpected too...so just watch the videos :)







So now the dish looks something like this:







Phew that was a lot of videos to go through! Even though we ran out of curry powder and needed a last minute substitute, it still came out pretty decent. Yes, brussel sprouts in curry is..weird, but its not as bad as you'd imagine. Kinda like mini cabbage leaves. The potatoes were cooked through, and although curry isn't normally cooked using minced meat it just made the dish that much easier to eat. You know, without having to remove bones and stuff. Also low fat as no santan (or coconut milk) was added.
