Shrimp Kabob

Shrimp Pasta in Garlic Butter

We don't scrimp on the shrimp! I had this with half a bottle of moscato bianco I got in Sonoma last month. I drank too much too fast and went to bed. J called me a lush the next day.

Shrimp Steamed in Sake

Served with a bottle of beer.

Shrimp & Chicken Pineapple Fried Rice

Giant Prawns Steamed in Sake

My aunt gave me 10 giant prawns. They were huge (the size of my palm). I decided to bust out my steamer and steam the prawns along with some gai lan (Chinese broccoli).





I steamed the prawns in some wine sake, along with ginger, oyster sauce, salt and pepper. I topped it off with an egg and green onions.





Five prawns were enough to fill me up.

Yaki-soba Noodles w/ Snow Peas, Shrimp & Bell Peppers

I've never cooked yaki-soba noodles and did not plan to. J and I took a walk to Nijiya Market, which is a couple of blocks from our house. I found the noodles, and decided to try them out.


Excited about finding Yaki-soba noodles


Grabbing snow peas.


Reaching for the bell peppers.

(Why did we have a camera with us at the market? J and I took a walk to practice shooting with the DSLR camera. I'm supposed to learn how to take pictures for his upcoming 24-Hrs LeMons race.)

We used to go to this Japanese restaurant back in MD, and I would order a yaki-soba dish. But, that was the only restaurant that I've been to who served these yaki-soba noodles. So, I was pretty excited to find them at the market.


Cooking noodles. Yaki-soba are very similar to Lo Mein.

Washed and cut snow peas and red & yellow bell peppers


Stir-frying


Done! I added a dash of Oyster Sauce for flavor. Nothing else. It was pretty delish, if I can say so myself...hehe.
