Long Eggplant and Chicken Stir Fry Long eggplant is often found in your local fruit and veggie shop. Ever wondered how to cook this long, narrow, pale purple eggplant? This kind of eggplant is excellent for stir frying; its skin is not as thick as the normal round eggplant, so it is usually cooked with the skin on. Ingredients 5-6 long eggplant 300g chicken breast/thigh Dried shrimp (optional) (available in Asian grocery) Spring onion to garnish 1 tablespoon oyster sauce 1 teaspoon minced garlic Marinated sauce 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1 tablespoon corn flour Pepper To Make 1. If you decided to use dried shrimp, soak it in warm water for 10 minutes, drain then pan fry with some olive oil until it turns golden brown and crispy. Put aside. 2. Cut chicken into long slices, mix with marinated sauce and stand for about 15 minutes. 3. Cut eggplant into long pieces (around 7.5cm x 1.5cm).
Lemon Meringue Pie When Charles saw the bag of lemons I brought home, he asked me to make a Lemon Meringue Pie for him. Lemon Meringue Pie has always been our family favorite, but I haven’t made it for a while. Luckily I had a pack of frozen sweet shot crust pastry in my freezer – so I was able to quickly fix it. Lemon Meringue pie is not difficult to make if you follow step by step. Ingredients (21cm pie dish) 1 sweet short crust pastry sheet (you can make pastry from scratch - of course) 4 tablespoons corn flour 1 cup milk 2 eggs – separated 100g sugar Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
