So as I may have mentioned (but don't recall at the moment and am too lazy to go online to check...) I got most if not all of my stuff back from my friend's place :)
And so I broke back my reunion with my knives by cooking... And seemingly cutting off the skin of my right middle finger. Exciting stuff companeros. Cutting is fun :) And cooking.
Following my mom's recipe for Trio shrimp (not really called that but I'm too lazy to go find the name in Chinese/type it into Google translate and then copy and paste it back onto here). It's Scallion, Garlic and Ginger Shrimp. Now the scientist part of me thought about it and wondered what exactly is so amazing about these herbs/spices that work so well. And then I came to the hasty conclusion that they're aromatics. As in they have delicious smells that excite the pallet and make the mouth water. Specifically I know that scallions and garlic are used as an appetite stimulant and I must say that my batch worked very very well. The ginger adds a bit of heat to the subtle flavors. after flash frying the three aromatics in oil, the shrimp flops in until shrimp pink and then mmmmm delicious savoury flavors of soft sweet shrimp paired sooo god damn perfectly with the salty savories. yes too much food word usage. Deal with it I'm proud of my cooking skills.
But yeah that's me. Happy to have my cutlery back. Which is to say that I'm happy I can cook again :)
