Tonight Dinner

I have been lazy in the cooking department lately. Since I thought I was going to deep-fry the cornish hen and have some zucchini and onion on hand, why not just deep-fry all of them together.

So, tonight dinner was all deep-fried food. I thought it was easy but man...this deep-fried stuff took a long time. I think it took me more than one hour to finish deep-fried everything.


Onion Rings


Tempura Zucchini


Deep-fried 5 spices Cornish Hen

Oh yeah, this was just half of the cornish hen, the other half still in the wok frying. I had to take the picture first because I was afraid my daughter was hungry.

  4. Great hen!! We'd half a prawn flavored fried chicken here over the weekend too!! ehhe...Guess it's a good weekend for deep fried food!

    Btw, if you do quite a bit of deep frying, invest in a deep fryer. Saves a lot of time, you can control the temp and don't have to constently watch it coz there's a timer to off it when it's done. Also, it's easier to clean up (personal opinion). :)

    Then you don't have to stand all the time to watch them fry and also do other things. ;)

  11. Welcome to my blog, Miso! But that's not a roast chicken though, it's a deep-fried cornish hen. But you can certainly roast it instead.

    The marinate for this is,
    5 spice powder,
    soy sauce,
    dark soy sauce,
    sugar,
    salt,
    white pepper,
    and garlic powder.

    Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, best overnight. Deep-fry or roast in preheated 350'F oven for 1 hour 30 mins or until the temperature in thigh register 180'F.

  13. Hi Jean,

    My onion rings is a short-cut version. Cut the yellow onion into rings, dip into a thick batter made of self-raising flour + salt + garlic powder + pepper. Deep-fry until golden brown. Serve hot!
