Shrimp Sambal - Succulent shrimp cooked in traditional South-East Asian spices and aromatics.  A very simple yet delicious dish that you will be able to re-create at home with ease. 

Spiced Ghee Rice - Basmati rice cooked with clarified butter, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves. A wonderful side to the spicy shrimp.

Blanched Baby Bok Choy with Garlic Oil -
We will cover a very basic Chinese-style preparation of vegetables using either baby bok choy or mini bok choy, whichever looks freshest at the market that morning.  Pictured here are the mini bok choy.

Lepat Pisang - a traditional Malay dessert.  Banana pudding with date palm sugar, wrapped in banana leaves and steamed. Dairy- and nut-free. We'll mix up the ingredients and learn how to wrap the delicate banana leaf packages. Lots of fun!
