I love Hainanese Chicken Rice and my husband loves it too so I make it about once a month. Trying to post picture, will post recipe if there’s interest from viewers.

Hey gang, look what I got! My Resipi Harian book! Resipi Harian means Daily Recipes in Malay. Boy this book brings back lots of memories. I was a Home Ec student - in those days in Malaysia they called it Home Science. Wonder if it’s changed. This book has been around for ages!

I still remember cooking in the huge kitchen in school. The kitchen was next to our Science class students (who do not take Home Ec) and boy they’d always come knocking for food after we were done :). During our exams, we’d have to crazy mad dash - think Iron Chef for teens.

12 Squid (medium sized ones for finger food, not the palm-sized big ones) Clean the inside and discard head and tentacles. Use paper towel to pat them dry.

Stuffing

Imitation crab meat - about 4 oz, shredded

Shrimps - about 12 shrimps, coarsely chopped

Water chestnut (half can) - coarsely chopped

Mix these ingredients together, add sesame seed oil, salt and pepper to taste.

Stuff the seafood mixture in each squid tube and secure with a cocktail toothpick. Lay all the stuffed squid on a baking sheet.
