Cooking Instructions
- 1
Slice potatoes extremely thin, about 2mm thick and then shred into fine straws about 2mm thick, alternatively using a mandoline with a julienne attachment. Place potato into a large bowl or sieve, add cold water and rinse potatoes well until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. This will help the potatoes to become crispy.
- 2
Drain potatoes well and squeeze out excess water then use paper towel to remove any moisture.
Pour vegetable oil into a wok and heat on high, temperature
Add flour to the potatoes and toss well to combine. - 3
Dip larger strainer into the oil, place over saucepan then add potato evenly around the sides and base of the strainer to create a birds nest, about 1cm thick. Dip the smaller strainer in oil and place on top.
- 4
When oil is ready, add strainers and fry until potatoes are golden and crispy, this might take between 5 – 10 minutes. When basket is nearly ready to remove from oil, gently remove the top strainer, or whatever strainer comes off easily, use a tip of a knife if any potato is stuck in the strainer, just be gentle so the nest doesn’t break.

Remove nest and place on paper towel, remove other strainer, allow to cool slightly. Nest is now ready to use to serve your favourite saucy stir fry in. Or meatball - veg or fries.(choice)

Buttery shrimp scampi in a white wine sauce over angel hair pasta#mycookbook Buttery shrimp scampi in a white wine sauce over angel hair pasta#mycookbook
This is a family recipe. It’s one of my favorite dishes . No need to go to some over price restaurant, this recipe is way better than any restaurant anyways.That is a family inside joke. (A dish like this goes for 24.95 per plate ) The main ingredient in this dish is garlic so use a lot of it especially if you like garlic. ( This dish is perfect for a date night in after the kids are in bed , just cut recipe down to about half of everything, and 1/2 a box of angel hair pasta. ) Kids can eat this too , my kids love this even my picky eater who don’t like to eat anything green. #mycookbook

California Farm Tandoori Smoked Catfish Nuggets California Farm Tandoori Smoked Catfish Nuggets
Tandoori yoghurt marinaded catfish filet nuggets, smoked in the airfryer. Cat fish is a mild, firm, meaty, sweet water fish, excellent for smoking and marinading in milk or yoghurt.The secret to smoking inside an airfryer is clarifying butter so you can make smoke splatter free with butter coated hardwood chips. Very little smoke and less time are needed because air fryer ovens recirculate the smoke at high heat inside the airfryer. I use a metal measuring cup filled half with hardwood pellets to get an hours worth of smoke. -

Enjoy with your friends and family!

Enoki Mushrooms Wrapped with Sliced Pork Belly Enoki Mushrooms Wrapped with Sliced Pork Belly
I wanted to make something different from usual rolled vegetables and came up with this.When you stuff the hollows of the leek with the enoki, it may tear. Don't worry, because you will wrap them in pork. The katakuriko coating the pork will be enough to thicken the sauce, but add more if necessary.Adding grated ginger will add more flavour to this dish. For making 6. Recipe by watyami -
Nest Cakes Nest Cakes
This is a combination of two brilliant ideas: Leslie Water's brownies for kids and Felicity Cloake's 'How to make a perfect Fridge Cake' in the Guardian newspaper (UK). I adapted them both, and put one on top of the other in the form of a cuckoo's nest. Just in time for Spring!
