Chee Cheong Fun (Penang Style) with Sweet Sauce

Successful on my first try...and I thought it was difficult. I resorted to using my pizza pan to lay the rice flour mix and the thickness was just right. Tasted nice, springy and smooth and similar to the ones you would buy. I made my own concoction of the sweet sauce with hoi sin sauce which hubby brought back from Penang. The kids loved it!!! I was afraid it might be a disaster and made just a small portion. So I had a hard time pacifying the kids that I'll make more the next time. If only all my kitchen experiments can achieve this kind of success every time. Sigh!

Seafood Seaweed Rolls in Sesame

I buy roasted seaweed sheets in bulk as my kids love sushi and we tend to make them very often. Recently, I found a new way to use the seaweed sheets.

Seafood in Seaweed Rolls

We all love Sushi - each and everyone in the family. And I thought this variation of food using roasted seaweed might appeal to the kids. Didn't make too much just in case it ended up as a "spill" rather than a "thrill". But as it turned out, the kids were thrilled with this dish.

Chicken in Pointed Pepper Leaves (Daun Kaduk)

I plant my own "daun kaduk" in a little vegetable patch in the backyard. Besides using them for otak-otak and soups, I was trying to think of different ways to use one of my favorite vegetable. This is one of them. Very simple dish. The filling is marinated minced chicken, assembled on to a pepper leave and folded on both ends. Or secured with a bamboo skewer on both ends if you prefer. Brush the rolls with some oil and grill moderately for 5-6 minutes or pan-fry for 2 minutes. The leaves will char slightly but nice this way, I think. You can serve this wih Thai chilli sauce or make a dipping sauce of your own. (birds eye chillies, garlic, sugar, lime juice, fish sauce and some water.
