Harmony,  I'm really sorry that the kids have been sick,  but glad that they a now better.     I would be interested in what you are cooking as you seem to have good ideas. ;D

Thanks!  ;)

DH made rice noodles today with Chookie's recipe. He ended up using small aluminum trays in the varoma (the type you'd use for take away or drip trays in a Weber BBQ ).  He said they were really easy to make but he'd probably make them thinner next time.

We cut the sheets in half and made rolls stuffed with chopped raw prawns, coriander, grated garlic and chilli. Steamed them in varoma for 5 minutes until prawns cooked.  yum ...

He loves cooking and making recipes up as he goes. Unfortunately he sliced his finger chopping coriander for the noodles so had to sit and give instructions while I finished off his masterpiece. That's what happens when you buy a really sharp new mezzaluna and get carried away 😉

Ouch, that took the gloss off the meal for him I'm sure.

Nothing a few band aids and some TLC won't fix 😉

Bonsai,  it is really. Good fun making these noodles.  You are right,  they need to be thin.  This is the trick.

Well done Fiona and her DH.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Wow guys... fantastic. Reminds me of some delicious dishes I've enjoyed at dim sum/yum cha, or whilst travelling in Vietnam... steamed rice rolls.

Here's a good youtube video that shows a couple of alternative ways to make the sheets...

traditional steaming on a sheet of stretched cheesecloth or silk: http://www.ifood.tv/video/making_rice_noodles

doing it at home using a good non-stick pan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnYy1iTUJig


i might give steaming a go this weekend using an embroidery cross stich frame and cheesecloth!!!
