Fried Egged Squid in Salted Egg Yolk

But it's wise to check with storekeeper before you pay).

1/4 cup kin chai (Chine celery), cut to 2 in. pieces
Some salt, light soy sauce (Chinese or Thai), white pepper

Wash the squid. Dip in boiling water, and rest in strainer.
Heat a pan. Lower to medium. Add the yolk-oil mix. And
slowly stir & fry until it turns yellow and pluffy.
Add celery and spring onion. Mix well. Add squid. Mix.
Add seasonings to taste.

200 gm. King prawns or prawns, clipped head and de-veined
4 cups oil
1 cup spring onions (cut to 2 in. each)
1 cup fresh shitake mushroom without stems, cut in half
1 tablespoon black pepper, grinded
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon LIGHT soy sauce
3 tablespoons broth
Instruction:
1. Heat oil in a frying pan or wok until medium hot. Dip the
prawns in. Don't let them cook.
2. Remove the prawns from pan. Set aside.
3. Leave a little oil in the pan. Fry shitake. Add black
pepper, oyster sauce and light soy sauce. Stir to mix. Add
soup. Then put the prawns in and fry just a little, for the
prawns to pick up the taste. Add spring onions. Mix well.

** Light soy sauce can be a Chinese or Thai brand. Japanese ones taste a bit different. Same applies to oyster sauce.
Thai Hot and Sour seafood dip
You need a Thai food crusher. A blender is fine.
Now prepare lime juice, sugar (if you can get the paste kind
(called "nam tarn peep" in Thai), it's best... but just a
plain white sugar is also fine), Thai fish sauce (allow only
Tiparot or Oyster brand), garlic and chilli pepper (small
green and red kind). Crush them together in a crusher or
blender. Put more of lime juice and sugar, less of fish
sauce, and do not put chilli if you cannot eat hot food.
It'll destroy everything if you tried.
You find this food in Chinese restaurants in Thailand, but I never found it in other countries... so I tagged it as "Thai".
Ingredients:
1 cup og half boiled oysters (use fresh oysters)
1 tablespoon Casava flour (2 spoons all-purpose flour will do)
1/4 cup water
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs (preferrably duck eggs)
Some salt, pepper, some bean sprouts, chopped coriander (use the leaves and stems), and chopped spring onions.
How to:
1. Heat the pan and put oil (use highest heat).
2. In a bowl, mix well half-boiled oyster with the flour,
salt, pepper, water, and spring onions. Pour the mixture into
the pan.
3. Beat the eggs in a bowl for 2-3 minutes. Pour it into the
pan. Stir a bit so it does not turn omelet.
4. Heat another pan, put oil, and fry the bean sprouts for
a few seconds. See if the bean sprouts are shiny with oil.
5. Now your oyster is ready. Put in in a plate and top it with
the half-fired bean sprouts, chopped coriander, and pepper.
6 Eat with chilli sauce. If you do not have a jar of chilli
sauce in your kitchen, go out to an Asian supermarket and look for "Sriracha" sauce. It's the best chilli sauce to go with
omelet or anything fried with eggs.
