Tempura 

Leave a comment


It’s an easy dish to cook without much preparation.

1. Make batter. I used tempura flour. Please read the instruction about the ratio of water and flour.

2. Prepare prawns ( remove head and shell but leave the shell on the tail). Cut vegetables into slices. I recommend carrot, eggplant, mushroom and French beans. French beans can be just cut into medium pieces.

3. Heat the oil in a deep pot. Put a chopstick in it. If many small bubbles show up at the bottom, then it’s ok to deep fry.

4. Dip prawns and vegetables in the tempura batter and deep fry till golden brown.




Udon soup would be a good choice to be served with.

Pan Fried King Oyster Mushroom

Leave a comment


It’s a very easy dish. And I think it keeps the nature of king oyster mushroom.

First, cut king oyster mushrooms into slices. Then heat some oil in the pan. Spread mushroom slices and fry them. When downside turns golden brown and curly, flip them over. Sprinkle some salt and black pepper at the same time. When the other side also turns golden brown, it is done. Very easy and quick.

Fried Chicken Wing Stick

Leave a comment


Wing sticks are much smaller than chicken legs. So it’s easy to cook them. That’s why I chose to fry chicken wingstick.

I used frying powder, which already contains salt and black pepper. So I didn’t marinate wingsticks. Just coat them with egg and then frying powder. Fry them in oil till golden brown. Very crispy outside, but tender and soft inside.

Leave a comment


My husband is a big fan of fish and chips. So I tried to cook this dish at home.
I cooked two kinds of fried fish fillet.
First, cut fish fillet into smaller size. And marinated with a little salt and black pepper.


1st. In a bowl, mix a small bowl of flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp vinegar and a small bowl of water. Stir well into batter.
Dip fish in batter. Then fry till golden brown.


2nd. Coat fish with a thin layer of flour, than egg and bread crumb at last.
Fry in oil till golden brown.
After tasting this two kinds of fried fish, I like the bread crumb one more. Because I think it tastes more crispy. But my husband loved them both.


Potato chips fried in oil for around 5-7 minutes, till they get golden brown.

Quick & Easy Fried Zucchini

Leave a comment

I like zucchini very much. I also like simply frying them with a pan.


Just spread some oil in the pan. Put zucchini slices in the pan. When the downside turn a little golden brown, flip them over and fry the other side. Spread some salt and black pepper. When both side are done, take them out in the plate.


You can stir fry zucchini with sausage slices, which also tastes good.
