Aglio Olio

This is not the Italians' classic Aglio Olio. Snow White created her own style which is more suitable for Asians taste buds.

  1. 3 portion of spaghetti (cook according to instruction)
  2. Pan fried the prawn (marinated with salt&pepper) with butter
  3. Pan fried king oyster mushroom and shitake mushroom with oyster sauce.
  4. Saute garlic, onion, capsicum, chili fakes, dry basil & parsley, then add in salt and black pepper to your taste.
  5. Toss the spaghetti with the mixtures well.
  6. Aglio Olio spaghetti ready to serve with the prawn and mushroom.
A very oriented taste with a bit of spicy hot. I added some bacon bits to my plate, this is a versatile dish which you can stuffs anything to bulk it up.

Chinese Mushroom Soup

Another soup day! Chinese Mushroom Soup, Rapunzel's favorite soup. Babe love mushroom so no complaint for the soup but the lunch is real light, my stomach sure growl again in less then an hour.....

The main ingredients of the Chinese Mushroom Soup include; Shiitake Mushroom, Enoki, tomato, black eye bean, black fungus and carrot. Rapunzel added some cabbage left over from yesterday.

Guess this soup is much healthier then yesterday as I accidentally threw away the onion oil.

Look, how clear the soup is!
