MY OTHER PASSION

What to do on a lazy weekend...but indulge in my other passion.

Para sa mga kapwa kong mahilig, you can try this "experiment" of mine -- shrimp balls & Chinese broccoli.

Ingredients: a pack of shrimp balls, Chinese broccoli (of course!), about a cup of Portobello mushroom (sliced thin), 3/4 cup of thinly sliced white mushroom, one medium-size yellow onion (sliced), Knorr shrimp cube, tablespoon of chopped ginger, half a clove of garlic (crushed), about two tablespoons of cornstarch and a tablespoon of Oyster-flavor sauce, salt & pepper to taste.

For the sauce, just dissolve cornstarch in 3/4 cup of water; add Oyster sauce.

Fry the shrimp balls and set aside.

On a wok with moderate amount of canola oil, saute onion (until it appears translucent); add garlic and ginger; add the Chinese broccoli and mushrooms; add the shrimp cube (it will dissolve in the juice from the broccoli and mushrooms...reduce heat); add cooked shrimp balls.

Stir in sauce mixture until right consistency and finish with salt and pepper to taste. It took less than 15 minutes to cook.

Take picture...enjoy the dish!
