Window of the World

21-Jul ~ Today is our 2nd anniversary after our registration. And I am conveying hubby’s tummy in travelling around the window of the world celebrating our very special day.

1) French Onion Soup
Ingredients:
4 large Bombay Onions – sliced finely
6 cups of chicken stock
2teaspoons of grounded bay leaf
2teaspoons of thyme leaf
Butter
Some ready-made garlic breads

Method:
Melted the butter in a pan or a Wok. Poured the thinly sliced Bombay onions and stir fried until the onions browned and softened. That will take around 10-15mins. When the onions were softened, put in the grounded bay leaf and thyme leaves. Stir until you could smell the heavenly fragrant. Next, pour in the onion mixtures into the pot of the chicken stock. Simmer the soup for about 10mins.Lastly, served hot with a piece of garlic bread on it…
For normal French onion soup, they will put the bread and garnish it with lots of Mozzarella cheese and baked till the cheese melted for double pleasure. Due to time consumed, I have shorten the length of the recipe….

Throw in the cili padi, the bean paste, garlic into the Wok. Stir fried until you can smell the fragrance of the bean.Put in the crabs into the wok and fried continuously. When the ingredients were well mixed up, place in some water and left to boil. Cover the Wok in order to cook the crabs as they have hard shells with them. While waiting for the crab to cook, get prepare a beaten egg with some air asam jawa.
