Thanks to Mad Gnomes for sharing some of their self-sowed spring onions last fall from their garden we have many to harvest this spring. We usually don't allocate specific patch to grow spring onions as we always plant them in between with other plants. With these seedlings, we planted it under sunflower that were growing last fall.
Those spring onions are starting to flower now.
I found this interesting recipe to enjoy those spring onions. Ilhan like prawns and bread very much, so I thought it will be something he will enjoyed very much. It is also a good way to finished slice bread quickly before it come to waste when it need to be finished soon. Lenay made this for Ilhan since she is much better at frying coated prawns than me.
Prawn toast (from The Australian Women's Weekly~World Table recipe book)
Ingredients:
16 uncooked large prawns (750gram)
2 eggs, beaten lightly
1/4 cup (35gram) cornflour/cornstarch
8 thick slices white bread
1 green onion (spring onions), chopped finely (personally I think it will be much better if those spring onions not finely slice, maybe1~2cm)
vegetable oil, for deep frying
Sweet chilli dipping sauce (combine ingredients in small bowl)
1/4 cup (60ml) sweet chilli sauce
1/4 cup (60ml) chicken stock
2 teaspoons soy sauce
~Shell and devein prawns, leaving tail intact (I don't keep the tail to make easier for my kids to eat). Cut lenthways along backs of prawns, without separating halves. Toss flattened prawns in medium bowl with combined egg and cornflour; mix well.
~Remove and discard crusts from bread, cut each slice in half. Place one prawn, cut-side down, on each piece of bread; gently flatten prawn onto bread. Sprinkle prawns with onion; press on firmly.
~Heat oil in large wok; carefully lower toast; in batches, into hot oil.
~Deep fry until browned lightly and cooked through; drain on absorbent paper.
~Meanwhile, make sweet chilli diping sauce.
~Serve prawn with dipping sauce.
This can be good to bring for picnic as well.

You grow plants, and you cook food.

I don't usually use chilli sauce in cooking.
I have never heard "SWEET " one.
Gosh those pieces of fried bread are yummy! And look really good for parties. I love to add onion shoots into my cooking also. Have a wonderful weekend to you and family!
We love onions here—they grow wild on the hill around us and we delight and picking them and eating them fresh-picked. Yours are beautiful! -heather

Rainfield61~I need to be closer to nature with hiking and trekking as well. Good for the body and soul.
Kumittyi~South-east Asia chilli sauce is usually hot and sweet. I think sometime you can find sweet chilli sauce with 'Maggi" brand in Japan supermarket that exports foreign food.

And the seeds you sent me, some have sprouted. Growing really slowly due to the rainy weather. I sowed right after receiving. It was raining a lot lately. So the seeds were wet. My mailbox is not rain proof hehe... Will post later.
your spring onion grwing great and they look fat! your toasts will make a great snack for me!
Stephanie~ Thank you so much for the link. Opps...I must remember to wrap the seeds with plastic next time. In Malaysia, I don't think any mailbox will be rainproof with how much rain pouring. Glad that some of the seeds sprouted.
Lena~Those spring onions were special gift from generous friend. It is very hard to say no to her :).
