Thanksgiving Dinner

This year, I serve the Turkey with roast vegetables, stuffing made with organic corn bread and crumbled sausages, and a Gratin Dauphinois...
(At Jeremy and Anthony's request, I have made a double portion of stuffing)
The sweet ending is a French pear tart with a dash of rhum...
After this satisfying meal we all have food coma!

Sauteed Tiger Prawns with Oyster Mushrooms and Garlic Noodles

This is one of Jeremy's favorite dish which is so easy and fast to prepare, and it's bursting with flavors!

It's kind of a fusion between Western and Asian ingredients.

After washing, shelling and deveining the prawns, I pat them dry and marinade them with 1/2 tsp each of salt, sugar, white pepper and garlic powder. After heating a little olive oil, I sautee the prawns till just cooked, and remove them and keep them warm. In the same pan, I melt 2 tablesppon butter over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and stir until golden but not brown.  Then I add the oyster mushrooms, some minced green onion and red pepper, and stir fry for a few minutes, then I add the fresh egg noodles, some sweet soy sauce, and when everything is hot, I put the prawns back in, with some grated cheese. and another tablespoon of butter., and gently mix To serve immediately with a sprinkling of green onions.

Tofu with bean sauce and thousand year eggs

This is one of my favorite tofu dish made with soft tofu. I steam the tofu first as it will render a lot of liquid which should be discarded so the tofu remains soft but not too watery. The sauce is prepared with hot bean paste fried with shallots and minced thousand year eggs, and a little soy sauce. To serve I sprinkle some vegetarian floss (made from soybean) and spring onions. It's very flavorful and bursts with different flavors...
