Zi Char Theme (Thermomix)

 

Have some requesting for zichar fare using thermomix to cook. Putting together a request for Cereal Prawns, my to-order Sweet sour chicken & Stirfry Mixed Veg. Lets have a good lunch for today after live ❤️ If you keen to watch the live, click here😉

First up, the Cereal Prawns. Personally, i feel the prawns is nicely cooked by thermomix. Not undercook or overcook and so sweer and crunchy. The cereal, I feel not crispy enough. And I think I will attempt again with toasting the cereal with the curry leaves with a pinch of salt. And then cooking the prawns with butter and mix the 2 together. I think it can help with the crispiness of the cereal and enhance the fragrance of it more. The buttery prawns will allow the cereal to nicely coat it with a buttery cereal taste. 🤤🤤 Drooling and I so gonna try it. If you try it before me, do let me knw what you think. ❤️

My all time favourite and my eldest favourite too! As expected, she says to me, I love the vegetables today mummy. Of cos I knw right, already mentioned on live she gonna enjoy it especially with the gravy over rice. 

Our family’s favourite is sweet sour chicken or pork. Today I used chicken cos I forgot to thaw my pork 😅😅 therefore the choice for chicken as it defrost way faster. And why I buy thermomix cos I dont like the greasy kitchen after cooking and of cos no deep-frying cos of the oily aftermath. I ‘fried’ them in my Ninjafoodi, a good pairing with my thermomix. Nicely browned and crisp and goes so well with the gravy. 

Everyone had a great lunch today, Thanks to the special request of zichar style cooking! Feel free to throw in more requests and thanks for always accompanying me on live!
