It's been awhile since I updated recipes here. It had been a busy yet fulfilling 50-over days of Circuit Breaker managing work, kids, housechores as well as media collaborations `(*∩_∩*)′ And I had been sharing more on my IGstories at  @mamaberlsays  too. Do follow me for more updated posts! Today's recipe of  Springroll Prawns is a real easy finger food and very suitable for packing into lunchboxes (it does loses some crunch though). Kbros love these alot & often request for this side dish...so I do make a batch more than this recipe calls and they keep well in the freezer.

This dish, Hijiki no Nimono (ひじきの煮物) is often referred to as hijiki salad, but it is not exactly a salad. Besides usually served chilled, it's more like a Japanese side dish that is served with teishoku (Japanese set meal). So what is hijiki? It's a brown sea vegetables, rich in dietary fibre and essential minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium.  (Source) My boys & I love this appetizer and I usually cook in a reasonable quantity with extras to keep in the freezer.

Recipe • Stuffed Tofu Puffs with Laksa fillings

Image
I came up with this recipe, Stuffed Tofu Puffs with Laksa fillings , in conjunction with Prima Taste contest. Never did I expect it to taste like "otah otah (spiced fish paste wrapped in banana leaf) meet Thai fish cake"! It's not spicy like commercial otah otah, so it's suitable for children who are able to eat spice flavored food :) These tofu puffs make good party finger food too, serve these with a lime-chilli dip!
