Teddies in the Soup

How cute the pasta is??

They are teddies pasta!! 

This pasta caught my eyes when i did my grocery shopping yesterday, they were on sale for only $0.99/packet

Could I resisted not to buy? : )

Me: Mr.S, you will be having a cute breakfast later!!

Mr. S: (brushing teeth) Cute? it must be awful!!

Me: (stare at him with my ultimate "full-of-hatred" eyes & walk away)

I always tried out any kind of new dishes, and he doesn't like it sometimes

Whenever, i cooked a new dishes, he will never admit it's actually taste good until he try it

He's the top food picker at home....

Lucky, I am a "whatever" person.. I keep trying out new dishes without being distracted by his annoying comment : ) 

My first attempt to make my very own "Prawn Ball"

Not too bad, just lack of saltiness in it 

Make 12 Balls

200 gr Prawn (after de-shelled and vein removal)

3 tbsp Tapioca Starch

1/2 tsp Salt (will increase the amount of salt next time)

1/2 tsp Sugar

1 Egg

Dash of Pepper

Method:

Finely chop the prawn into minces

Add in all ingredients and mix

Shape the Ball and drop into boiling water until it well-formed

Turn off the Heat

Soak in Cold Water, Set Aside

I will never throw away those Prawn Heads as I will use them to prepare the soup 

Flavour enhancer, such as: MSG; Chicken Powder, etc will be used less or even with only a pinch of salt can bring the sweetness of the soup

Soup Base

Prawns Head

100 gr Anchovies 

Water as needed

Salt and Pepper to taste

Few drops of Sesame Oil

P.S: i used slow cooker for the soup and left it on a low heat setting until the next morning

Boil the Pasta with salt added in the water until soft, soak in cold water, drained and set aside

Heat up the Soup and add in Prawn Ball and some vegetables

Arrange Pasta, Prawn Ball and Vegetables in a clean Bowl

Pour in Soup

Serve

Happy Cooking
