Last night's dinner menu

Saw a piece of beautiful pre-soaked sotong from Giant the other day, been craving for it for sometime now. Without any hesitation,  I grabbed it, weight it, pay it and in it goes into my fridge yay! So I made kung pao with it yesterday. But have to made something else for hubby and kutty as the former will say "itchy! itchy!" and the other will say, "spicy! spicy!" :-)

 Kung Pao Sotong Kembang

ingredient:

• pre-soaked cuttle fish, about 200gms(par-boil for 10mins and set aside)
• dried chilli, 15-20 pcs, halves (soak in water for 15mins and drained)
• garlics 4 cloves sliced
• ginger 1 inch, sliced
• onion 1 med size, cut into wedges
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• salt, pepper, and a bit sugar to taste.
• 1/2 cup water 
• cornstarch slurry for thickening the sauce
• roasted peanut or cashew 1/2 cup

steps:

1. Heat up oil in a pan, drop the chillies, fry till turn slightly brown. Do not burn it, or it will make the dish bitter.
2. In goes the ginger and garlic, stir till aromatic.
3. Next, in the cuttlefish, oyster sauce and dark soy sauce.
4. Pour in the water, simmer till the cuttlefish soften, or to your desired texture.
5. In goes the onions, then thickens it with corn starch slurry.
6. Pour in the roasted peanuts or cashew, stir and serve.
7. Kung pao pre-soaked cuttlefish, done!

So the second menu was quick and easy pizza on toast. Its easy peasy, just top the bread with ragu sauce, top with sausage, button mushroom, onion and lots of cheese (i use mozzarella). Put it into toaster oven, 8mins, done!
