some vermicelli, softened
some chopped coriander and red chilli
1 teaspoon sugar

Preparation
1. Fry minced garlic in oil until brown and set aside.
2. Coat vermicelli in mixture of soya sauce, dark soya sauce, sesame oil, sugar and pepper.
3. Twirl vermicelli over crayfish and pour remaining mixture and shaoxing wine over crayfish. Put to steam until cook.
4. Drizzle fried garlic oil over crayfish and garnish with coriander and chili. It’s ready to serve.

1 piece of chicken breast, cut into bite-size
1 stalk of lemongrass, cut into 3 pieces
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons western curry powder

Preparation:
1. Heat up oil and add garlic and lemongrass. Stir fry until fragrant.
2. Add chicken breast and prawns, and continue stir frying until half-cooked.
3. Add curry powder, salt and sugar, and continue stir frying until cooked. It’s ready to serve.
