Favourite frog legs


based on my observation when mum-in-law cooked this dish.

I cooked this dish 3 times so far.
Now that I can get hold of cleaned skined frogs in supermarket,
makes it easier to perfect this dish.

Same ingredients can be used for cooking chicken bits,if frog is a bizzare food for you.

1-2 Slice onions
2 -3 dried chillies
garlics

1 tbsps sesame oil/oil,
1tbsps Soy sauce,
1tbsps Dark sauce,
a pinch of salt.

stir fry a little longer,to make sure the frog are fully cooked.
Our all-time favourite!

veges broth

Decided to cook something soupy, not feeling very well after more than 12hrs of work for the past 3-4days with the musical.
Crave for my childhood's spongy egg noodles mum used to make.

Tried to create the textures but did not go too well (required cutting into strips). Veges broth was good.we ate w/o the egg noodles.

I decided to add the japan brown mushrooms for their sweet smell & taste.

**note: if cant gauge the amount of salt to add, you may wish to replace it with
Ikan billis cube/chicken stock cubes.
