Prawn & vegie stir fry

Quite a filling dish, for a stir fry!
Half kilo peeled, de-veined prawns, tails off (You can leave the tails on for "presentation" if you want, I find it a complete and utter waste of time.)
1 large red capsicum sliced
1 onion sliced
1 bok choy roughly chopped
1 clove of crushed garlic
About a teaspoon of sliced fresh ginger
Handful fresh coriander sliced
4 sliced birds eye chillies
3 spring onions/shallots, sliced
1/4 cup sweet soy sauce, 1/4 cup  hoisen sauce, 1/4 cup cornflour + water mix
Any other sliced fresh stir fry vegies would go well. The above is all I had on hand. :P

Combine the onion, bok choy, garlic, ginger, capsicum and chillies in a hot pan/wok and stir fry until fragrant and lightly coloured. Add the prawns and stir/cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the sauces and corn flour, coriander and spring onion. Cook a further 2 minutes and the prawns should be nicely coloured and cooked.
Serve as is, or with noodles/rice!

Craving for comfort food..

No, I am not pregnant.
I love comfort food, and I tend to go through my phases of making various foods mum used to make when we were kids. Some of these include: Sausage, onion, gravy & mash potato; Soft boiled egg and soldier toast (Yes, I have this for dinner some times!), good old fashioned casserole and dumplings.. Corned beef and veg.. oh yum!
The one  comfort food I have been yearning for lately is Macaroni Cheese - not the rubbish you buy in packets, add milk & butter and nuke. Mum makes it differently, dry. But the good kind of dry. It was just cooked pasta, mixed with grated cheese, pepper and a beaten egg, into a baking dish and baked. And it came out like a slice.

So I had set out with the intentions of making this lastnight. Then as I always do, I got sidetracked. And ended up with something entirely different. Oh well!

I had cooked and drained some penne pasta, found some leftover roast chicken in the fridge, half a capsicum and a small onion. So I tossed all this together in my spring-form cake tin (As I don't own a casserole dish anymore!) I made a cheesy bechemael sauce (White cheesy lasagne sauce!) and beat 2 eggs into it, mixed it into the pasta mixture, added grated cheese to the top and baked it until it was golden!
Not quite what I was craving, definitely not what mum makes! But still quite tasty!
