Kakiage-Don (Deep Fried Shrimp and Vegetables w/ Rice)

Posted by Picasa

This was our last night's dinner. Since it is deep-fried, I would not call it healthy, but it is only about 534 kcal and it is relatively cheap to make.

Serves 3-4 people
Prep Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 30 mins

Ingredients;
1 Regular Onions OR 1 Bundle Scallions
6 oz. Medium Shrimp, peeled, de-veined, tails removed & chopped
1 Carrot, cut crosswise into fourth & thinly sliced
1 Egg
1 cup Flour
1 tbs. Flour
1 3/4 cup Chilled Water
2 cups Rice (White or Brown)

Directions;
1. Heat deep frying oil in a small to medium saucepan (or whatever you use for deep-frying), until the oil is about 345 to 375 F.

2. In a medium bowl, mix the onions, shrimps and 1 tbs. of flour. (Bowl 2)

3. In a another small mixing bowl, mix egg, chilled mater, remaining flour w/ folks or chopsticks. Do NOT mix too well. Stop mixing when there are still a lot of unmixed in lumps of flour. (Mix 3)

4. Pour the Mix3 into the bowl 2. Mix together.

5. Scoop 1/8 of the mixture w/ a big spoon & gently slide it into the pan. Flip it over when it looks crisp (about 1 to 2 mins.). Take it out after about 1 to 2 mins.

Green Living Expo at Neal Blaisdell Center

My husband and I often attend events held at the exhibition hall of Neal Blaisdell Center in Honolulu. Because they are fun and most of the time FREE.

In the past, we have been to Antique Collectors' Show, Made in Hawaii Show (w/ nominal admission fee) and many other events. We especially like Made in Hawaii show because the vendors often give out free samples and valuable coupons. Last time, we were even able to participate in a live cooking show by a local chef.

Today and tomorrow, they are having Green Living Expo. I have never been to this Expo, but it would be an interesting event for those trying to live green. According to their website, there would be more than 100 exhibits, incl. green building & remodelding, heath & beauty, organic & natural products, eco-car, eco-fashion show.

For more information, visit Green Living Expo's website.
