What's for dinner..

About time i finally cooked something healthy!
This one wasn't exactly a masterchef recipe, but I was inspired by two dishes from a celebrity chef challenge, so I thought I would mix them together.
The first recipe is Hue Pancakes (i posted the link on a previous blog but for all you lazy people here it is again: http://www.masterchef.com.au/hue-pancakes.htm), and the second was eggnets with pork, prawn, beansprouts and cucumber relish (http://www.masterchef.com.au/eggnets-with-pork--prawn--beansprouts-and-cucumber-relish.htm).

So basically what I did was I used the recipe of the filling in Hue Pancakes, and the idea of the egg nets to hold it together. For obvious reasons I used chicken instead of pork, but it turned out to be delicious anyhow.
The hardest part was trying to get the egg-nets perfect, and making sure they didn't burn or were too thick otherwise they wouldn't be as crunchy. It took a few practice ones to get it right, but eventually I got there. See what some hard work and determination can do :)

I also used the sauce from the Hue Pancake recipe, which was a mixture of fish sauce, rice wine, sugar, water and garlic (didn't have any chilli, so I just ditched that!)
Next was onto the filling, which involved stir-frying the prawns with some onion and garlic, then removing it from the pan and stir-frying some chicken strips. Although, because I used lean chicken instead of pork, it became a bit dry, so I decided to add some sweet chilli sauce to give it a bit more flavour and make it more moist. Then it was as simple as adding the prawn mixture and chicken together in the pan, and chucking in a handful of bean sprouts, and all was done!!

Now all I had to do was place the mixture in the egg-nets, fold it over and serve alongside some lettuce and herbs (mint and coriander were the pick, and a perfect choice might I say).

As always I made sure to take some pics for you guys to check it out.
Here is just the chicken and prawn mixture:

And here is the end result:


Definitely not the most appealing dish, but it tasted really delicious and was surprisingly a nice light dish! Believe me, if I can get my brother to eat prawns then it must have been a successful meal.. so if your looking for a healthy light meal, I would suggest you give it a go!
