Now that the weather is getting warmer, we’ve been using the grill a lot especially on the weekends.

Grilled Halibut on Cedar Plank

Just a simple grill fish which was sprinkled with some spices & then grilled on a plank. Was a little disappointed that the plank wasn’t giving out much flavor or maybe we are doing somthing wrong. Not sure. This is our first time grilling on a plank. Will have to try it out again!

I love Korean BBQ but it’s hard to go to the Korean restaurant for the BBQ with a toddler in tow. The fact that Korean BBQ is grilled on a hot plate right on the table top, it naturally peaks the interest of a curious toddler especially when the meat starts sizzling! So for now, we’ve decided to start cooking them at home instead.The meat can be bought pre-marinated or DIY with a bottled Kalbi sauce. We had ours with corn & portobella mushroom. Definitely comparable to the ones at the restaurant!

Kalbi Beef

Ingredients:

10 - 12 head-on shrimp

2 tbsp minced fried garlic

1 stalk chopped scallion

Seasoning:

4 Tbsp Shaoxing wine

2 Tbsp water

3 tbsp fried garlic & oil

1/2 tsp salt

2 drops of sesame oil

dash of pepper

Method:

1. Trim the head & make a slit down the back & devein. Pat dry & lay shrimp on a plate.

2. Combine all the seasoning & spread on the back of the shrimp. Steam on high heat for 5 - 7 minutes or till cooked.

3. Top the shrimp with more fried garlic & scallion. Serve hot.

Grilled Honey Dungeness Crab

Was soooo….. happy to find stingray also known as skate wing in the grocery store the other day. Just rub a little curry powder & grill it on a banana leaf. Also made a little dipping sauce for it. Yummy!!!

Kam Heong Shrimp with zucchini

Yep, more grill food again!! Really making full use of the grill this summer.
Grilled Lamb Cutlets & salad

Grilled Chicken Wings, Shrimp & Portobello Mushroom

Fried Fish with a sprinkling of oil & soy sauce. My attempt to replicate one of my favorite restaurant dish. Normally this dish is done with a whole fish but I had to replace it with fish fillet. Nevertheless, it turned out yummy!! Will definitely cook this again
