HOME COOKING // SW’s imitation Spicy Miso Pork Udon, using udon from Hifumiya which they had kindly gifted to the public on Friday night due to the lockdown. ❤️ It’s so much easier eating at restaurants and I really appreciate the hard work they put in in mastering their craft and serving delicious udon. Had the instructions of cooking the udon but I can’t get the texture to be like theirs. Made the eggs three times too before I was satisfied. 🙈 The only plus I give myself is that my 1kg pork bone and onion broth combined with the miso paste was pretty similar to theirs. ☺️ #HomeCooking #SpicyMisoPork #Udon #Japanese #HifumiyaPerth #PerthFoodReview #SupportLocalPerth #PFR_Hifumiya #PFRCooks (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CODGNWrDbb5/?igshid=sls5vvfsfyd

HOME COOKING // Nasi lemak sans ikan bilis (fried anchovies) with yellow curry chicken & potato. Cheat’s version using pre-made sauces and not made from scratch. To make the Nasi Lemak (6 serves): Add 3 cups of jasmine rice, 1 stalk of lemongrass, 3 pandan leaves bundled together and a can of light coconut milk (165ml) into the rice cooker. Curry chicken: 6 chicken drumsticks, 3 potatoes (sliced) and @turbanchopsticks ‘s Yellow Curry Paste ( #gifted ) 🤤 Nasi lemak Sambal paste: Used the brand Chilliz - quite good. Just a tad spicy. Peanuts: Nobby’s beer nuts Unfortunately the grocer has sold out of the fried anchovies so this would have to do. #homecooking #nasilemak #malaysian #turbanchopsticks #yellowcurry #nobbysnuts #beernuts #chillizpaste #sambal #PFRcooks (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEbp_mPDrQX/?igshid=1evbbuk9rksf5

HOME COOKING // Last Saturday’s meal prep: Grilled sambal skate with red onions, okra and curry leaves; Curry Red Emperor cutlet with eggplant, tomatoes, tofu puffs. Sambal sauce was from @suku_freo - so spicy and good. Skate was purchased from @atlanticseafoodperth in Northbridge. Wanted to get banana leaves for a more authentic look but my local grocer only sell it frozen by the pack - there were at least 20 leaves per pack - would have been surplus to needs so my sensibility won over “nice presentation”. It doesn’t look too bad now, does it? Other than the sambal on the pan being burnt slightly..🙈 #HomeCooking #SambalSkate #SambalStingray #Sambal #SukuFreo #SukuSambal #PerthFoodReview #CurryFish #AtlanticSeafood #RedEmperor #PFRCooks #PerthHomeCook (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp9tsluvdCf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

HOME COOKING // Beef Short Ribs from @wabigbutcher in BBQ Sauce – slow cooked short ribs using the recipe from Nagi @recipe_tin 🥩 Some tweaks: used honey instead of brown sugar and added HP sauce; also added ground coriander seeds and Cajun seasoning instead of mustard powder, cumin powder and cayenne pepper as I didn’t have those ingredients at home. Pressed for time so instead of following the recipe’s timings, I experimented with baking two hours in the oven covered with aluminium foil first then added another hour in the oven uncovered and then forty five minutes in the pressure cooker. Result was delicious and I’ll be making this again - following the recipe next time - will need to start at 2pm to be ready for dinner at 6/7pm. #HomeCooking #BeefRibs #Beef #ShortRibs #PerthHomeCook #RecipeTinEats #PerthFoodReview #PFRCooks (at Subiaco, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClOW7pnvKQv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

HOME COOKING // Pan-fried butterflied Skull Island Prawns @skullislandprawns ( #gifted ) with Thai Chilli Paste, Scallops with mini asparagus and Stir-fried cos lettuce with heirloom tomatoes.

HOME COOKING // first attempt at 潮州卤鸭 Teochew Braised Duck using the recipe from YouTube’s KL Liew (Aunty Liew) @klliew06 - recipe notes on the last pic. Steps involved: 1) Use a generous amount of salt to rub & massage the duck to clean it; rinse off the salt; put washed duck into a pot of cold water and let it come to a simmer & drain the water (apparently this removes the impurities and wax from the duck skin). 2) Put into fridge to dry the duck 3) Marinate the duck using “ingredient B” list and let it marinate in the fridge for at least two hours 4) Prepare the braising liquid (ingredient A list except for eggs and tofu) and put the marinated duck in when the braising liquid simmers 5) Turn the duck around every 15/20mins - braiding liquid should be simmering for 1 hour & 20 minutes 6) Turn off the heat and leave duck in the pot for another 20 mins with the lid on 7) Take duck out to rest for 20 mins before deboning 8) Braise egg hard-boiled eggs and hard tofu for 10-20 minutes in the braising liquid Surprisingly the duck wasn’t as salty as I thought it might be - can add more soy sauce than the recipe or marinate it overnight if you want it to be more flavoursome. Pretty satisfied with this first attempt as the duck turned out just nice and not overcooked. Thanks Aunty Liew for the recipe - she’s a retired Malaysian auntie who shares lots of homecoming videos on YouTube - all of which is being videoed and edited by her husband Uncle Liew. I find her videos entertaining and really helpful. #HomeCooking #TeoChew #BraisedDuck #TeochewBraisedDuck #潮州 #卤鸭 #潮州卤鸭 #KLLiew #Recipe #HomeCook #PerthHomeCook #Duck #PerthFoodReview #PFRCooks (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYTorWMP975/?utm_medium=tumblr

CHRISTMAS DINNER 🎄: GRILLED CRAYFISH WITH LINGUINE 🦞🍝// grilled WA crayfish with truffle butter, garlic, spring onions, chives, paprika, black pepper and salt (15 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius). Served with La Molisana linguine tossed with MaePranom brand Thai chilli paste, Marmite, butter, shaved cheese, bit of pasta water. Topped with shaved cheese and chopped spring onions. 15 minutes in the oven and 10 min resting time is just perfect to attain the crayfish flesh’s “just-cooked” texture. #PFRCooks #HomeCooking #ChristmasDinner #StayHome #Crayfish #Pasta #Linguine #WACrayfish #LaMolisana #LobsterPasta #TruffleButter #MaePranom #ThaiChilliPaste #Marmite #PerthFoodReview #PerthHomeCook #PFR_Lobsters (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CX-59ijvMjW/?utm_medium=tumblr

HOME COOKING // My version of Beef Shakshuka with eggs and Guacamole for when I’m lazy to cook. It’s always handy to have canned whole tomatoes, diced tomatoes, chickpeas, beans and tomato purée in the pantry. Start off with frying chopped onion & garlic till fragrant in the pot (I like to add chopped bacon too) then add chopped carrots, brown the beef mince; add in aforementioned canned tomatoes, chickpeas, beans, tomato purée, sliced mushrooms, spices (paprika, thyme leaves, ground cumin) and s&p. Let it slowly simmer and crack eggs in when nearly done. Garnish with coriander. Guacamole recipe: avocados, chopped tomatoes and red onions, lime juice. Serve with nacho chips / tacos or rice (my staple). #HomeCooking #Shakshuka #Beef #Guacomole #HomeCook #LazyDinner #SimpleDinner #PerthFoodReview #PFRCooks (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUHod_shcJ9/?utm_medium=tumblr

SG CHILLI MUD CRAB // Lunch is served. First attempt at Singapore Chilli Mud Crab using mud crab (aud54.95/kg - my crab was aud37) from Atlantic Seafood Market, Northbridge and the sauce pack by Prima Taste Singapore (aud9.35) purchased from VHT, Northbridge. Cheated using a pre-made sauce packet. Wasn’t going to experiment just yet in case it went wrong. The sauce is spicy, flavoursome and yummy - I think I added too much water at the start. Hope everyone is keeping safe during this three days lockdown. We can get through this, Perth. ❤️💪🏻🙏🏻 #HomeCooking #SingaporeChilliCrab #MudCrab #AtlanticSeafood #Northbridge #PrimaTaste #PFRCooks (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/COCVJ8zDXhG/?igshid=13pxp5c3w8ypr

INSTANT NOODLES // Mushroom Mala noodles by 有你一面 You Ni Yi Mian and Korean Shin Ramyun with kimchi and cheese: the easiest lazy lockdown meals. 🤭 Disclaimer: have these 8”instant noodles once in a blue moon as they aren’t exactly known to be superfoods. 😂 The texture of instant noodles are improving so much to the point that these Chinese “You Ni Yi Mian” instant noodles actually taste like handmade noodles. Love adding kimchi and cheese to the spicy Shin Ramyun to get a creamy consistency. Tip: you can also add bacon and egg to jazz up your instant noodles. #instantnoodles #cheatmeals #lockdownmeals #有你一面 #辛拉面 #shinramyun #youniyimian #PFRcooks #perthlockdown#perthfoodreview (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKyZC_Sjncw/?igshid=x8dwmjhpslst
