Green Elmo Yusheng for dinner!!
hahaha!!!
well, we didn't have much ingredients and forgot to take the pic of the yusheng before we tossed and ate the dish Lol. or maybe it tasted so good we forgot to take any pics!
this time we didn't have smoked salmon - it smelt as if it's gone bad. so we had smoked duck, jellyfish, cucumbers, pickles & raw salmon from a set bought from ntuc.
usually in a yusheng set, they provide these ingredients (sometimes varies)
- Preserved Melon Strip,
- Preserved Mixed Melon Strip,
- Preserved China Melon Strip,
- Red Sweet Ginger Strip,
- White Sour Ginger Strip,
- Preserved Yellow Strip,
- Preserved Winter Melon Strip,
- Sweeten Lime Strip,
- Yu-Sheng Sauce,
- Crispy Cracker,
- Peanut & Sesame Seed,
- Soya Bean Oil,
- Cinnamon Powder,
- Pepper Powder.
below: some ingredients jamie prepared...
- jellyfish
- pomelo
- lime juice
- fresh coriander
what i really really liked about the yusheng pickles this year is the candied oranges that they usually use for cakes and biscuits, especially the fruit cake.
