Stir Fry French Beans with Grey Prawns and Dried Lily Buds
Pan Fried Shisamo (served with lemon wedges)
talking about shisamo.. the first time i tried it was in sakae sushi.. its was disgusting... yucks!! imagine, bitting into thousands of little unborn fishies.... ewwww... :P but... ahhhh.. i've learn to savour this japanese cuisine which is known to be famous in a small town called Kushiro in Hokkaido. this smelt fish is unique on its own. best served broiled.. this delicacy can be savour with rice or better still as an appetizer with sake. i myself like it to be lightly grilled. that way i can maintain its juicy roe inside while the skin is crispy on the outside.. :P however, i'm not fortunate enough to be equipe with a good kitchen so all i can do is to pan fried it. anyway, it still taste great... hehehehe. just remember to dry the fish properly before cooking them especially if you are "pan frying" it. i've learnt my lesson well... thinking that i can skip the defrosting stage and go into cooking.. i practically drown my smelt in defrosted water! not a nice sight.. quickly saved the fish out and dap it dry with a kitchen towel before putting it into a hot new pan. i got the shisamo at a very good price.. for S$2.90 i have 8 medium sized shisamo. just head out to NTUC FairPrice frozen section.
as for my french beans... i guess u can see its a little over cooked. was trying to soften my lily buds by stewing it abit but forgotten that my veg can't take it. not a good choice for my dish.. will be scrap next time.
