300g Pumpkin

1/4 Onion, thinly sliced

1/4 tsp Salt

25g Dried Cranberries 

40g Corn Kernel (if using raw corn, steam for 5mins)

15pc Toasted Almond (I use honey butter toasted almond, gently crushed)

Method: 

1. Slice the pumpkin, and remove the seeds. I usually buy a whole organic Japanese pumpkin, cut and use half for steaming, half of it will be kept frozen for later use.

2. Steam the pumpkin in Ninja Foodi (saute/ sear or steam mode, both are ok!) for 15 minutes or until cooked through, set aside. Alternatively, you can use the steamer or wok. 

The Ninja Foodi that I'm using is a combination of a pressure cooker and air fryer in one appliance, it's super-efficient and time-saving. Besides pressure cooking and air frying, there are other functions such as steam, slow cook, sear/ saute, bake/ roast, grill, dehydrate, sous vide, yoghurt, and keep warm. This cooker helps prepare quick meals without hassle, which I highly recommend to everyone who loves easy and hassle-free cooking with fewer pots and pans to wash.

Clearing my fridge, just grill whatever is left in the fridge, using the same grill setting.
I really enjoyed using this grill in my daily cooking, especially during the weekends when I have lesser time to prepare food in the kitchen. It's smoke-free and super easy to use that I could just throw everything into the grill and let it do the magic！  👍🏻

2. Brush/ spray some oil on the mushrooms. Grill for 6 mins. Brush the sauce on both sides of the mushrooms, continue to grill for 4 mins or until slightly charred, and serve as a side dish or a light meal on its own.

Some Potato Starch

Method:

1. Pat dry the prawns with kitchen towels. Add in marinade ingredients, mix well and let marinate for 15 minutes.

2. Preheat Ninja Foodi Air Crisp mode 210'C 5 minutes. If you love fried food and hate the deep frying process, you definitely need this Ninja Foodi all-in-one Air-Fryer + Pressure Cooker. The highest air fry temperature is 210’C which is ideal to crisp up the prawns in minutes.

3. Coat the prawns with egg white and potato starch. Air Crisp mode 210'C for 8 minutes or till golden and crisp. Mix with mayonnaise and fruits, serve right away. 

Note: Spray some oil on the Cook & Crisp basket and prawns before air-frying. Flip once halfway cooking. If you do not have an air-fryer, you can deep fry the prawns.

Homemade Achar/ Nyonya Acar 娘惹阿杂菜

Achar/ Acar is a mixture of pickled vegetables commonly served in Asian cuisine. It's generally made with different types of vegetables and fruits such as cucumber, carrots, pineapple, long beans, and cabbage, pickled in a well-seasoned vinegar concoction. It's an excellent side dish to increase appetite and goes well with greasy food such as nasi lemak and deep-fried food, it even tastes good on its own. During Chinese New Year, we serve Achar with prawn crackers and that's my top favorite pairing! ;)

The Achar recipe that I'm sharing here is a simplified version of Peranakan/ Nyonya Achar.
