Passion Profiles Passionately Cooking!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Haagen Dazs. All opinions are 100% mine.

For the last 5 years living away from my parents, I started supporting myself, earning a living, feeding myself, and catering to my needs. One of which is cooking. Having no one else to do it for me, I started cooking basically frying something up. Later on, I started reading cook books and watched cooking shows. That’s when I realized, cooking is not that hard to do. With the right ingredients and a good recipe, a little patience here and there, and you should be set to go. After successfully cooking my own version of vegetable chop suey, that’s when I started to be more passionate about my cooking. I became more meticulous with my cooking, paying attention to every single detail down to the last ingredient just to come up with the perfect dish.

A quick dish I can easily prepare is something I call. “Pineapple Prawn and Curry”

Ingredients

Peanut oil

2 cups Pineapple chunks

2 cups Coconut milk

1 tsp Palm sugar (or brown sugar)

1 lb Shelled prawns

1/4 cup Onion chopped fine

3 tbsp Lemon grass chopped fine

3 tbsp Galangal chopped fine

1/2 tsp Shrimp paste

1-4 tsp Chili paste

Fish sauce to taste

Directions

Heat wok. Add peanut oil, onion, lemon grass, galangal, shrimp paste and chili paste.

Stir fry for 2 minutes until oil is aromatic.

Add coconut milk, fish sauce and palm sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce to half.

Add prawns and pineapple, simmer 3-4 minutes.

 Yield - 4 cups
