Prawn Paste Chicken

This is the first time Vicky cooked prawn paste chicken and it tastes really nice and crispy. I used to cook that as well but somehow, it is not as crispy as how she did it. So, I am really pleased with her cooking.



Since we both like to cook, we would exchange pointers and teach each other our recipes. Most of the time, I would teach her how to cook western food because she does not know how to cook western. As for local food, she is already well-trained by her previous employer's mother.

For dinner tonight, I taught her to cook this soup which is made up of 3 different types of "carrot"- the usual orange one, green radish and white radish. Add that with pork ribs and you will get a great tasting soup. A little bitter because of the green radish. But if you do not mind the slight bitterness, it tastes really nice. I told Vicky that next time, she can add gei zi (wolfberry fruit), red dates as well as dried cuttlefish.
