Nasi Gorang Curry and Scampi Fries.....

I was trawling the isle of my local Asian supermarket getting ingredients for my Thai curry including nasi gorang paste, pork and prawn dumplings and veg.
I got home and started to prepare my lovely curry.










Whilst making the curry my lovely boyfriend came home from work with a treat for me, a pack of scallops which he knows I love but he absolutely hates. They weren't on the shell from a fishmonger they were in a packet from Sainsburys,to be fair my boyfriend knows nothing of food and would not know any better and that I would prefer my scallops big fat and juicy and preferably not in a packet like these came. But you must never look a gift horse in the mouth!
I had recently seen Heston Blumethal make his scampi fries by coating scampi in ground down scampi fries dust and thought I would do a dodgy version of that because I have a secret love for Scampi Fries so why not.




As I have said in a previous post I have lost my pestle and morter so had to use the back of a spoon to crush the fishy snacks and the result was not as fine as I wanted but I went ahead none the less.


I fried the little scampi coated scallops for a minute or so on each side.


And do you know what they were bloody delicious and I ate them all! They don't exactly go with Thai curry but I will make them again with a lemon mayonnaise dip as a special treat for myself and a lucky friend.

Valen-Thai Feast

Did you like what I did with the title there, Valen-Thai like valentine but with Thai put in it because that's what I cooked for me and Mercer for our Valentines dinner.....No, fine.
Me and Mercer arn't exactly rolling in money at the moment so I said I would cook a romantic meal for us instead of going out, so that's what I did and Thai food is what I cooked. I made some classic Phad Thai minus the prawns as fussy pants won't eat them and i also made a Panang curry and served it all with coconut rice, prawn dumplings(for me) and some little spring rolls.
To get supplies I went to my favourite oriental food market called 'Yum Yum' that I did a post on awhile back and got supplies. I'm afraid I did buy the panang curry paste, the phad Thai sauce, the dumplings and spring rolls ready made so there!




My little prawn dumplings frying away! I steamed them first then I like to fry them to make them all crispy on the outside and they are lovely.
