Got so many ideas to try! Thanks a...Wahhh... nice!<br /><br />Got so many ideas to try! Thanks all!<br /><br />Except you, Tracy. Because you love aubergines - a vegetable that is so disgusting that people call it by different names to trick others into eating it!<br /><br />"Want an aubergine?"<br />"Eeew! No!"<br />"Howzabout an eggplant instead?"<br />"Eggplant? Dunno what it is but sounds good. Bring it on!"<br />"Arrgghhhh!!! Eggplant is aubergine!"<br />"Oops. Thought you knew. Sorry. How about this asian delicacy called a brinjal?"<br /><br />Bleah :p<br /><br />Honyi: We actually just had pasta and tuna, right about the time you wrote your comment :)<br /><br />Rhys: What is the requisite time if I like my beef well-done and Yi Lin likes it medium-well?<br /><br />Tracy: Gah!<br /><br />Debra: Hey, that salmon-cheese thing sounds realllly easy. Okay, will try this next, while we're still near the coast :)Danniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798702726955491899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2470659737235305933.post-52906082032647651112009-11-11T04:49:46.291-05:002009-11-11T04:49:46.291-05:00You can try a tossing slab of fresh salmon with a ...You can try a tossing slab of fresh salmon with a piece of cheddar cheese on top into the pot, cook it for a short while till the salmon turns pink and you're done! <br /><br />Aglio olio is pretty easy too - boil pasta till al dente, then toss in pan with olive oil, heaps of chopped garlic and Italian herbs. Can add sausages, canned mushrooms, etc as you wish!Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07574858213543036185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2470659737235305933.post-5868357722490851982009-11-10T16:37:28.858-05:002009-11-10T16:37:28.858-05:00Buy the nicest looking veggies from the veggie man...Buy the nicest looking veggies from the veggie man and ask him what to do with it? Might get some simple local ideas.<br /><br />Pasta in tomato sauce goes with everything (olive oil, garlic, softened onions, herbs and tomatoes), could throw in seafood if you're craving fish (or serve with a piece of mackerel - usually cheap and very tasty)<br /><br />Or meatballs<br />Or softened aubergines or courgette/zucchini (fry or roast in olive oil before dumping it in the soss; won't miss your meat much with this)<br />Or make ratatouille to go with your steak<br />Or I had this in an Italian restaurant once, steak topped with tomato sauce, aubergine and cheese.<br /><br />You can tell I'm a bit of a sucker for the smooth, shiny, voluptuous purpleness....<br /><br />Too bad you don't stay in one place too long, you could cook for an army and get through it over several days.<br /><br />Oooh, or how about nice piece of salmon or other fish (trout, seabass etc) with a crispy skin on top of creamy lemony (garlic, mascarpone/cream, lemon juice & zest, stock or water) pasta or risotto (same same prep)? <br /><br />But I think the local choice will be most cost-effective and satisfying...Tracy Suhttp://www.su-lin.edicypages.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2470659737235305933.post-90523663733800987832009-11-09T04:39:18.839-05:002009-11-09T04:39:18.839-05:00My favourite cut of beef is ribeye.

Just leave it on one side for the requisite time (depending on how well-done you want it to be), then flip to the other side for the requisite time, and you are done! Slight charred on the outside and juicy on the inside. If you keep flipping, the outside won't be nice.<br /><br />About fish, I only know chinese style fish frying - clean and dry fish, heat oil to high temperature (must be very hot oil, otherwise the skin will stick to the wok, helps tremendously if you have non-stick wok of course), throw in slice of ginger, slide fish in for about 20 seconds (to get a crispy skin), then lower fire (to cook the inside and not burn the skin) and continue cooking for about 6-10 minutes, depending on size of fish, then turn on the heat again, and flip fish to the other side, repeat. Again, don't flip the fish more than once or you risk messing up the fish!Rhyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08242263684877704734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2470659737235305933.post-49956851761511119702009-11-08T22:50:07.813-05:002009-11-08T22:50:07.813-05:00when i get really lazy, i usually end up with past...when i get really lazy, i usually end up with pasta tossed with one of these:<br /><br />1. tuna: open a can of tuna (better if it's chilli tuna), add some sliced chilli, pepper and salt to taste.<br /><br />2. bolognaise: all you need is minced beef, canned tomatoes, some chopped garlic and onions.<br /><br />and you're unlikely to get complaints about splattering oil.<br /><br />you can also make aglio olio pasta (olive oil, garlic, herbs and chilli flakes if you like) and some sliced grilled sausages (no guarantees about the splattering oil though).<br /><br />beef stew is easy too but it takes time which i figure you guys will better spend sight seeing.<br /><br />happy experimenting!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05369667366887839467noreply@blogger.com
