Prawn Wanton Soup

Who doesn't like wanton? At least, I don't know anyone who is not fond of it. In today's post I am going to share with you a very simple yet a delicious recipe that is bound to make your mouth water.

Presenting to you, prawn wanton soup!




These are the ingredients that you are going to need:

- Prawns. The quantity depends on how much wantons you want to make.
- Salt to suit your taste
- Black or white pepper
- 1/2 tsp soy sauce
- An egg
- A tsp of cornflour
- 10 Wanton Wrappers
- Chopped spring onions
- Fresh tatsoi or any Asian greens that you can find.
- Chicken broth or water
- Chicken powder

1) First, you need to remove the shells and devein the prawns. Wash them well and cut them into small pieces. I wouldn't suggest you chop them up because I personally feel it's better to have chunks of prawns inside the wantons. It looks better and it definitely tastes better.

2) Now take a bowl and add the prawns, salt, black pepper, soy sauce, half an egg and cornflour. Mix them well and divide them in to ten portions.

3) Put the chicken stock or water to boil and add few drops of oil. Once it starts boiling add the wantons, salt, and chicken powder. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring it once in a while. However, do not stir it too much otherwise your wantons mite break.

4) Now take a bowl, scoop out only the wantons into it. Add the tatsoi and spring onions and pout the soup over it. Your wanton soup is ready.

If you want your soup to peppery, you can add a pinch of black or white pepper in it. The freshness of the vegetables and the sweetness of the prawn wantons will refresh you and you will look forward to making this recipe again and again!

Alternatively, if you have seaweed at home then you can garnish your soup with it like I did in my other bowl of wantons.

Eggs in tomato gravy is perhaps one of the most common dishes that is widely cooked and consumed by Chinese families all over the world. It is simple to cook and yet very delicious.

These are the ingredients that you are going to need: 6 Eggs 2 medium tomatoes Oil Sugar Salt Chicken Powder Cornflour Water 1) First, you need to whisk all the eggs in a bowl and then fry them in a wok. You may need to fry them in two lots. Once the eggs are fried you can cut them into bite size pieces or you can break them with your spatula.  2) Now pour some oil in the wok and fry the tomatoes. Add in the sugar next because it will help you melt the tomatoes faster. Now once the tomatoes are fully cooked, pour some water and bring it to a boil.

Buffet Lunch @ Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 20

Good day, everybody! Today I am going to post about the lunch that I had with my family when we went to Bangkok last time. So I heard about the buffet here from my sister, who happens to be a foodie like me and since we were travelling together, we decided to go for the buffet here. Boy, you won't be disappointed! Take a look at the pictures here: I feel my best experience dining here was eating the fresh seafood. They had boiled and chilled Prawns and Crabs with Thai dipping sauces. I saw some people taking the seafood to the live counter to heat the same, but we decided eat the delicacies chilled. Trust me, I wasn't disappointed. I never knew simple boiled prawns and crabs could taste so good. Maybe it was the dipping sauces!  Oh, they also had snails and oysters (which I didn't try as I wasn't fond of it). Of course, the buffet was just about these two items because they had the local Thai food like Pad Thai, fish balls noodle soup, e...
