Cereal Prawns

One of my husband favorite dishes.

1. Clean prawns and marinate with some salt and cooking wine for around 10 mins.

2. Heat some oil in the pan. I didn’t deep fry those prawns I just pan fried them. Dish them out till the shell turns red. I pan fried them with high heat so that the shell would be crunchy.

3. Melt a small piece of butter in the pan. Add in chopped red chili, spring onion and curry leaves if you have. 

4. Put in cereal. Stir fry for a min or two. Then add prawns back in the pan. 

5. Keep stir frying evenly for a little while. And ready to serve.

Super Easy Basic Waffles

Leave a comment

We bought a waffle maker yesterday. I couldn’t wait to cook some delicious waffles with it. My husband wanted Belgian waffles. So I found some recipes online and tried them. Yet, it was a big failure. Waffles I made tasted like strong baking soda flavor stuff. It’s not easy for me to quit, especially on cooking. I thought I should start with basic ones. And I found a wonder recipe online. Lucky me!

It’s super easy. No need to beat the egg white with electric mixer.

I just halved the batch.

Egg 1

Milk 200g

Olive oil  1/6 cup

Flour 1 cup

Baking powder 1/2 tsp

Salt 1/4 tsp

Sugar 1 tsp

Vanilla 1/2 tsp
Preheat waffle maker first. And then prepare the batter.
1. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a big bowl.

2. Mix egg with milk, oil and vanilla in another bowl.

3. Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients. Don’t overmix. Stop when they just combine. It’s ok if there’s still flour bumps.

4. Pour batter over preheated waffle maker.

5. Serve with syrup and fruits you like. You can also add nuts or butter.

Cola Ginger Tea

Leave a comment


My hometown is in Shandong Province, which lies in northeastern part of China. Winter is cold there. When my husband and I visited my family several days ago, my mom caught a cold due to cold weather. She couldn’t stop coughing, sneezing and she had severe running nose. So I made cola ginger tea for her. 

First, I poured half bottle of cola, which is around 1 L into a deep pot. Then put in many ginger slices. If you want the tea to be strong, you can add more ginger. Turn to high heat. When the tea boils, turn to low heat and cover the pot with lid. After around 5 mins, remove the lid, and you will smell strong ginger. It’s done. 


My mom drank a big bowl of warm ginger tea I made. She felt much better. Less sneezing and running nose.
