One of my favorite dishes, ginger just one of my favorite ingredients in cooking. It brings the refreshing taste of it. Actually I wanted to cook this clams with the rice wine but changed my mind coz I wanted something different. Something I never try it before. Yes! I been cooking the same old dish and I’m changeling myself to find something new. Not much different that the rice wine dish but came across a Thai version of it without the wine. So come and try it!

  Ingredients:
2lb clams in their shells
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
4-5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
¼ cup Vegetable or seafood Stock or water
2 oz fresh ginger root, peeled and finely sliced
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon onions, finely slice
Cilantro leaves, to garnish

Method:
Prepare the clams. Heat the oil in a nonstick wok or skillet and stir-fry the garlic over medium heat until lightly browned.

Add the clams to the wok and stir-fry over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Add the stock or water, ginger, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and green onions and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes or until all the clams have opened. Discard any shells that have not opened. Spoon onto a serving plate, garnish with a few cilantro leaves, and serve immediately.

Ingredients:7oz package spring roll sheets, 5 x 5 inches, or filo pastry, thawed if frozen

Filling:
1 – 1½ tablespoons sunflower oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
7oz ground chicken or shrimp
¼ cup carrots, finely diced
¼ cup corn kernels, thawed if frozen
¼ cup green peas, thawed if frozen
½ cup red bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
½ teaspoon ground white pepper
Pinch curry powder
1 green onion, finely chopped

Garnish:
30 cilantro leaves
2 long red chilies, stemmed, seeded, and finely sliced

Method:

2)      Add the carrots, corn, peas, and red bell pepper and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the soy sauce, ground white pepper, curry powder, and green onion, combine well, and set aside.
 
3)      Cut the spring roll sheets or filo pastry into 60 squares, each 2½ x 2½ inches. Lay 2 squares in each indentation in a muffin pan used for making 1½ inch muffins, overlapping the squares so that the top sheet is at an angle of 45 degrees to the bottom one. Prepare 30 baskets and bake in a preheated over, 350F, for 10-12 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Carefully remove baskets and let cool slightly.
 
4)      Spoon the filling into the baskets and serve at room temperature, garnished with a cilantro leaf and some chili slices.

2) Place the snapper on a large piece of foil on a baking tray. Pour the marinade over the fish and sprinkle with spring onion.

3) Wrap some foil around the fish like a parcel and place in the oven. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the flesh flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve immediately with steamed rice.


Note: My spring onions got burned because I did not wrapped it properly.
