Cheese Sauce Fried Rice

Tried this a few days back after watching the show 明星厨房 on Channel 8 last Friday. This recipe from Kraft Singles Kitchen got very good reviews from both the mummies and chef in the Show. So I decided to try it out and see how it taste like. I got a lovely surprise as it is indeed very yummy! But I find it abit salty. I'm a person who like salty food and to have that come from me shows that it is indeed quite salty. I also find that some steps can be omitted as the sauce covers most of the taste, so marinating the prawns and chicken separately in salt and such is quite unnecessary. Just use corn flour and maybe pepper to rid the fishy smell will do. Try it! It's good!!

Cheese Sauce Fried Rice

Ingredients:

150g shelled and deveined prawns

150g chicken meat, diced

Marinade:

1 egg white

½ tbsp corn flour

1 tsp sesame oil

½ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

Combine marinade ingredients and divide half between 2 bowls.

Marinade chicken meat and prawns separately with the marinade for 30 mins in fridge.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok, sauté prawns quickly over high heat until just cooked then remove to a dish. Set aside. Add more oil if necessary. When hot add chicken stirring to separate until cooked. Set aside.

(I omitted the egg white as I did not have any eggs. Also did not saute both ingredients before dumping them into the sauce. Can use just corn flour, sesame oil and pepper to marinade next time.)
