Squid and sprout stir-fry
My sister sent me a recipe:
Large handful of sprouts, sliced very small
Small handful of prawns (defrosted frozen ones are fine)
1 small red onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed (I know, I know, it doesn’t sound enough)
2 x 1 inch chunks of preserved ginger in syrup, chopped fairly small (or you could use a bit less fresh ginger and a spoon of honey, I suppose, but the preserved stuff is really good)
Juice of half a lime
Sesame oil and soy sauce
Fry sprouts and onion in normal veg oil until nearly done. Add prawns, ginger, garlic, sesame oil and soy sauce and fry for another few mins. Then add lime juice for last min or so.
I made it last night, and very nice it was too. Except, the fresh shrimp at the fish counter looked a little pricey, particular when compared to the squid at $2 a lb. However, it may have been a false economy, as I hadn’t realized just how much of a squid is taken up with horrible squishy innards that you have to remove. 5 squids or something, just for one portion.

Well, even when I’m not posting much, the comments thread on Roll Deep remains full of excitement. Recent questions being discussed include, which is better, grime or UK hip-hop, and whether Norwich is or is not gangsta.

The Roll Deep thread is incredible. Even better than that one about Eminem on Al’s old site — http://jahjahdub.typepad.com/correct_taste/2004/05/eminem.html

That Roll Deep stuff’s brilliant. I had no idea. The Eminem thread dried up when the picture I linked to for some reason disappeared.
