prawn capellini aglio olio

one RI bro said he would come by to get together before my UK trip tomorrow.. wanted to drive me out for lunch on 6.6.2017.

i find it takes more time & hassle to go out for lunch. so i did a quick capellini pasta with what i have…faster than eating out..more time to chit chat…

we had coffee after pasta & 功夫茶after coffee…chatted for a while till 2.30pm…as i have lots of personal admin to attend to before trip..

i had wanted to so a johnsonville beddar with cheddar cheese sausage spaghetti but there was no spaghetti, no chilli padi, no stock…

and no johnsonville..few packets my helpermust have cooked for my son this period 😀 so what’s left just garlic, olive oil, frozen small prawns, regular chilli, a bit of thai basil….

still a very tasty pasta in 10mins la…

so this nonya paste excellent for snapper & seabass..

for song fish head 松鱼头 good too but spicy black bean paste even better…

so its the usual hong kong steam ie just 2 tbsp light soy sauce & 2 tbsp olive oil. i added 1 tbsp mirin (optional)..then i added 1 heap tbsp gimson nonya paste & spread.

normally i would add the garnishes like lots of sliced ginger, cut chilli padi & chopped spring onions.

today just trying out so did not add all these things, and anyway some i don’t have in the fridge..

still a very enjoyable fish head, for teochews especially!
