Parsnip & Carrot ‘Kakiage’ Tempura
Hiroko Liston @hirokoliston
Parsnip is a vegetable that I first tasted in Australia more than 20 years ago and instantly became one of my favourite vegetables. And for a long time I have believed that the best way of cooking parsnip is roasting. But… I have recently discovered that Tempura is also good. If you like parsnip, you’ve got to try it.

- 1
Slice Parsnip and Carrot into thin strips.
- 2
Place vegetable strips in a large bowl, add Edamame (OR ingredients of your choice, if you wish to add) sprinkle some Flour over and toss to coat. This will help the small pieces and thin slices stick together well.
- 3
Mix them with the batter.
- 4
Slide large tablespoon sized clumps of the ingredients together into the 170°C to 180°C oil and deep fry.
- 5
Turn them over a few times. When they are cooked and the batter is lightly golden and crispy, place them on a rack and drain the oil.
- 6
Arrange the cooked ‘Kakiage’ on a plate and serve with ‘Tempura’ dipping sauce, Worcestershire sauce, BBQ sauce or other sauce of your choice. *Note: See my dipping sauce recipes at http://www.hirokoliston.com/dipping-sauce/

Indomie Curry
So I LOVE Indomie noodles. For me that's saying a lot because I hate artificial flavours. So I had some leftover chia-flax curry and I decided to try and combine the two awesome flavours of my curry and Indomie. Wah! Sema inspiration! It was so good that I had to eat closing my eyes just to savour the amazingness to the fullest!

Chili Scrambled Eggs with Greens and Gravy
So I realised it's the last day of the egg dish contest and I didn't want to be left behind, hehe! I've been experimenting with healthy seed gravies and curries, so I said why not coat some eggs with some of that deliciousness? And of course we have a favourite here in Kenya where we fry eggs with greens, absolutely delicious! #worldwideeggs
Super Tasty Githeri
So I have this thing where I keep a flavour base that I get from combining flavours from different leftover meals deliberately. It creates amazing flavour combinations! So this flavour base had Indomie broth, chia-flax curry, and pumpkin seed gravy. I got gifted some githeri so I decided to finish off my flavour base that way. The githeri without the flavour base is just as amazing! The spring onions and curry powder just did the magic!

Mahamri ya iliki na tui la nazi #4wkschallenge#charityrecipe#
I have always envied my Sweet Mama making Mahamri's and within 1hr, she's done, very attractive(smooth, no pimples), and so sweet that one isn't enough. I have never understood how she gets it right, her measurements are "with her eyes"......na macho 🤣🤣. And when I make mine her way, they always backfire, either they don't bulge/swell/hazifuri, or with pimples 😣.So today she gave me the exact measurements to use, and to my surprise, they were just super😊😊😊!
Full Meal Chapos
Remember my creative use of leftovers? Well, I discovered that taking leftover stew, blending and 'chapatizing' it (turning it to chapo by adding flour) makes for a very delicious and non-boring, but super nutritious snack. This one I used leftover ndengu, peas, and potatoes. It is also a portable full meal without all the mess of soup.

I also have been blessed with two children one turned five and another is two. I always try to have a balanced meal at any given time.
