The Brief History of Dim Sum

dim sum

What is Dim Sum?

Dim sum refers to small, bite-sized foods served in bamboo steamer baskets or on small plates, and it is a Cantonese expression. Dim sum means “to touch the heart” in Chinese.

Steamed, roasted, or fried, these little quantities of food can be savory or sweet. The portion of dim sum is usually small, and there are a great variety of dim sum dishes with different tastes and flavors to choose from.

For instance, Cantonese dim sum has a very diverse range of flavors, textures, cooking styles, and ingredients. They can be divided into regular items, seasonal offerings, weekly specials, banquet meals, holiday dishes, house signature dishes, and travel-friendly meals. They can also be broken down into breakfast or lunch foods and late-night snacks.

The Origins of Dim Sum

Dim sum is eaten all across China and in some parts of the world, including Malaysia. However, the dishes are thought to have originated in Guangdong, in southern China, before making their way to Hong Kong.

After opium dens were outlawed across the country, Cantonese dim sum culture developed in tea houses in the late 1800s in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong.

Travelers and traders on the Silk Road would stop for a dim sum meal at tea houses. As they traveled, the practice grew in popularity across the area, particularly in Hong Kong.

While sipping tea, all guests were able to sit down, rest, chat, and eat. At the time, these kinds of tea establishments could be found on nearly every street and corner. The seeds of today’s modern dim sum tradition were planted at that time.

Dim sum nowadays can contain cuisines and cultures from all around China and Malaysia. Frozen dim sum, including those that are halal, is also available in Malaysia today. The culinary form, however, has mostly remained unchanged.

Dim Sum Restaurants

In most dim sum restaurants, there are several dozen different foods to choose from. However, tea is equally important and must be present. Many Cantonese restaurants start serving dim sum as early as 5 a.m., while more traditional restaurants don’t start serving dim sum until the middle of the afternoon.

Customers are served dishes from steam-heated carts in dim sum restaurants, which is a unique serving method. Restaurants are now serving dim sum for dinner and selling a la carte dim sum items for takeout.

Some chefs develop innovative fusion-based dim sum and halal dim sum dishes in addition to conventional dim sum. For example, dumplings and buns shaped like animals, for example, come in versions that look good on social media.

Popular Dim Sum Dishes

Steam dumplings (Siu Mai)

Steam dumpling dim sum are usually shaped into a cup and sometimes topped with mushrooms. Most dim sum restaurants have this dish on their menu. It is a must-have on the tea table.

When eating out is a hassle, especially during the Covid-19, the answer is to create a downscale experience at home, and the famous dim sum meals mentioned above are the fantastic ones to start with.

Ten Exciting Food Resolutions For The New Year

Ten Exciting Food Resolutions For The New Year

chinese new year
New Year’s resolutions are usually difficult to keep. We’ve all been in that situation. When it comes to your health, though, making a few commitments to yourself is essential. When times are rough, especially during a pandemic, it’s even more important to eat well and keep healthy.

Here are ten exciting food resolutions that you can make for 2022.

1. Eat as a family

With so many varied schedules and activities, it can be difficult for families to sit down and have a meal together these days. However, it’s recommended to sit down as a family to enjoy a delicious meal at least 2 or 3 times a month. In this regard, having a steamboat meal together is a good idea. You can choose to add delicious foods like Shishamo and seafood tofu to your steamboat.

These foods come with a certain smoothness and a springy texture with seafood flavour—the right addition to your steamboat. It’s a lot easier to keep to your New Year’s resolutions when your family is participating, plus it allows for more fun and bonding, which is priceless.

2. Try cooking different cuisines

One of the easiest strategies to get out of a culinary rut is to commit to trying new cuisine. From Brazilian to the Caribbean, Moroccan, Vietnamese and Chinese, these travel-inspired recipe collections will bring new flavors to your table.

3. Practise mindful eating

Mindful eating is based on the Buddhist practice of mindfulness, and it entails paying complete attention to your meal in the present moment without being distracted by anything else. This is especially beneficial to the cephalic phase of digestion when your stomach creates digestive fluids in reaction to the sight, taste, or smell of food.

4. Add, don't take away

Resist the urge to cut food out and focus on what you can add! Underappreciated foods with significant nutritional profiles include seeds (chia, flax, sesame, pumpkin, sunflower), microgreens, spices, and fermented foods. Sprinkle seeds on your toast, add microgreens to your sandwich, try turmeric and ginger dishes, and toss some kimchi into your grain bowl. Your brain and gut will appreciate it.

5. Keep your fridge stock

If you have a particular diet, ensure that your fridge is stocked with your required foods. Having your preferred foods always available will make it easier to stick with your resolutions. For example, if you’re going to have steamboat dinner with friends and family later in the week, you need to visit your steamboat frozen food supplier early enough to ensure that you have all the necessary ingredients.

EB Frozen Food is your trusted frozen food supplier for your steamboat dinner. The steamboat 5-in-1 pack comes with Cheese Tofu, Fish Sandwich, Seafood Tofu, Fish Ball, and Seafood Beancurd Roll, 5 types of popular premium quality steamboat dishes for you to have all at once.

6. Make your resolutions approachable

More achievable resolutions are more sustainable than fully eliminating certain foods. Rather than eliminating specific foods in January, which can lead to massive binging in February due to extreme deprivation, we advocate eating them in little portions. For example, if you’re trying to switch to a vegetarian diet, rather than quitting beef or chicken altogether, commit to having a small portion 1 to 2 times each week. Allowing for those indulgences may make the path much simpler to keep to without making you feel deprived.

7. Eat more fruit, plant-based foods, and veggies

On the surface, this one doesn’t appear to be all that fascinating – but it can be! Everyone should eat more fruits and vegetables than they already do, but the secret is to make it fun. Try buying a different vegetable every week and serving it as a side dish to get more veggies into your diet. Moreover, plant-based foods like fuchuk and Kyoto Yuba are healthy, delicate in taste, and very rich in protein.

8. Drink more water

You’ve undoubtedly heard that you should drink two liters of water every day, but to be more precise, you should drink 30 milliliters of water per kilogram of your body weight per day. For example, if you weigh 75 kilograms, you’ll need two and a quarter liters of water every day. Water is necessary for a variety of body activities, including temperature control, digestion, and blood circulation. If you’re having trouble getting enough water, consider adding fresh herbs or citrus slices to your water.

9. Stop the fad dieting

Rather than following fad diets that promise quick results while jeopardizing your metabolic and mental health, pick a nutrition plan that not only matches your objectives but also fits into your lifestyle. A well-balanced diet would yield gradual but long-term effects. It should be a diet that can easily become a way of life rather than a luxury.

10. Eat more whole foods

Making a deliberate effort to load your plate with more whole foods (such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, tofu, and pure protein sources) and fewer processed foods is the easiest approach to start a healthy year. By establishing the habit of eating more whole foods, you can enjoy a lower rate of heart disease, cancer and type 2 diabetes.

All In All

Though most New Year’s goals are only kept for a short period, the healthy resolutions outlined above are long-term strategies for improving your physical and mental health. Developing a healthy connection with food and taking better care of your body and mind will have a significant impact on your overall health.

Dumplings vs. Wontons: What is the Difference?

Interesting Tasty Facts

Dumplings vs. Wontons: What is the Difference?

dumplings vs wontons

Wontons and dumplings are delectable delicacies that are famous throughout China and Asia.

The difference between a dumpling and a wonton is that a dumpling is made of dough that either contains ingredients or has a filling, but a wonton is a traditional Chinese dumpling that typically has stuffings like meat (chicken wonton) or seafood (shrimp wonton), and veggies.

The main difference between dumplings and wontons are as follows:

  • Dumpling wrappers are much thicker than Wonton wrappers.
  • In Chinese cuisine, there are many distinct varieties of dumplings, and a wonton is one of them.
  • Wontons are often filled with meats, pork, or vegetables, however, dumplings can be eaten with or without a filling across the world.
  • Dumplings are served with a dipping sauce because their filling is usually mildly seasoned, but wontons are served without one since their filling is usually fully seasoned.
  • Dumplings are typically circular, but wontons can be triangular, rectangular, or even square in form.

Dumplings

Dumplings become increasingly popular during the Chinese New Year.

They are an essential part of each New Year’s celebration as a sign of family happiness.

Although they are popular around the New Year, they can also be eaten as a lunch or dinner at any other time of the year.

Due to a lack of time or the intricacy needed, not everyone, particularly working adults, have time to prepare a range of dim sum.

Nonetheless, you can still enjoy this delicious meal with EB frozen dim sum series without having to worry about cooking time.

Once unpacked, EB frozen dim sum takes only a few minutes to steam or boil before they’re ready to eat!

Dumplings can be enjoyed in different ways: cooked, steamed, or fried.

1. Boiled Dumplings

Boiled dumplings are a great substitute for noodles and rice. It’s week-round comfort food.

They come out with a burst of flavours if you know how to cook them, making them delectable.

You can also purchase readymade dumplings if you don’t know how to cook them or don’t have the time.

2. Steamed Dumplings

The boiled dumplings are more difficult to cook than steamed ones.

This might be because the dough is easier to roll here.  It is, in fact, a light and nutritious type of dumpling.

Many people in China eat them for breakfast, but they can be eaten at any time of day.
steamed dumplings

3. Fried Dumplings

Fried dumplings are usually heavier than the steamed and boiled ones.

They’re also good as appetizers and comfort meals.

Although these dumplings are referred to as “fried,” they are cooked in two stages: first, they are fried in oil on one side in a very hot wok, then steamed in the same wok by adding water and covering it.

After steaming for a few minutes, the dumplings have a crispy bottom, soft top, and tender filling.

Wontons

Wontons are generally deep-fried or served with soup.

They can be shaped into various forms and prepared in several ways, such as steamed, boiled, or fried.

People in Asia and other parts of the world like wontons with a variety of ingredients, such as the EB Frozen Foods shrimp wonton with mushroom seasoning and EB shrimp wonton with mala sauce.

The EB Frozen Foods shrimp wonton with mushroom seasoning is made with delicious whole shrimp and wrapped in wonton dough.

It comes with a packet of specially prepared mushroom seasoning. It’s tender and juicy in the mouth.

The shrimp wonton with mala sauce, on the other hand, is also made with juicy whole shrimp and wonton dough.

You’ll be immersed in a hot and numbing feeling when you spoon over the ready-made hot Mala sauce.
Both the EB Shrimp Wontons are an excellent way to make dinner on busy weeknights.

They are incredibly convenient and very easy to prepare.

Either boil them in water or soup. For quicker preparation, you can even microwave them according to the package instructions.

Want to try a more indulgent fried wonton instead? Give our EB Crispy Fried Chicken Wonton a whirl. The crunchy outside layer along with the juicy filling will help elevate any noodle dish. You can even have them as a snack!

In a Nutshell

The primary difference between dumplings and wontons is that wontons are always filled with a meat or vegetable filling, whereas dumplings can be filled or the ingredients can be mixed with the dough and formed into balls.

For working adults and even full-time homemakers who are too busy to make dumplings or wontons on their own, they can still enjoy these yummylicious little but filling food.

Simply opt for EB Frozen Food Dim Sum for 100% hassle-free cooking.

A Beginner’s Guide to Meal Prep

Interesting Tasty Facts

A Beginner’s Guide to Meal Prep

Meal prepping saves time, is more efficient, and reduces the temptation to deviate from your meal plan, whether you are on a diet or budget. It enables you to enjoy home-cooked meals without hassle each time you want to have a good meal, especially when cooking every day isn’t an option. When it comes to meal prepping, it’s a good idea to fill your pantry or freezer with staple foods such as EB Frozen Food like prawn paste, fried wontons, crab stick roll, fish strips and more.

Here’s your beginner’s guide to meal prepping. Read on to find out.

Step 1: Decide on the best method of preparation for you

Depending on your schedule, the type of meals you like to prepare in advance, and your cooking style, one or more of these meal-prep methods may work best for you.

Complete meals: Cooking complete meals ahead of time and reheating them at mealtimes (such as a pot of soup) provides a quick fix if you have limited time to prepare meals during the week.

Batch cooking/freezing: Batch cooking is dividing and freezing a meal into several batches for future meals. For instance, you could double a soup recipe or cook extra rice to freeze and use in the next couple of weeks or months.

Individually portioned meals: Preparing foods and portioning them into individual servings is an excellent choice for individuals with specific health goals or who like the convenience of grab-and-go meals. Salads in jars and overnight oats in single-serving containers come to mind.

Ready-to-cook ingredients: If you prefer to prepare meals just before serving, prepping ingredients ahead of time saves time in the kitchen, which is particularly helpful on a busy workday. For instance, you chop onions, peppers and chilli and keep them beforehand.

Step 2: Develop a Strategy

After deciding which type of meal prep you will benefit from the most, make a plan to help you stay organized. Keep the following in mind as you plan your meals and preparations:

Choose a meal: If you wish to improve the efficiency of your morning routine, making smoothie packs will save you time in the morning. Also, make meals that you can quickly reheat if you don’t have time to prepare throughout the week due to a busy schedule.

Reliable recipes: Stick to tried-and-true recipes while planning and preparing your meal, with one or two new ones thrown in for variety. Keeping things simple will save you time.
A pot of brown rice, a couple of golden fish strips or chicken rolls, and a tray of roasted vegetables may be used to create anything from rice bowls to fried rice to salads if you’re short for ideas.

Plan your preparations: Setting aside some time for actual preparation is essential. Make a realistic prep plan and consider dinner preparation on the same day you go food shopping.

Step 3: Make a shopping list and go out to the store

It’s time to create a grocery list now that you’ve settled on a meal. However, before you rush to the store, check around your kitchen.

To make meal planning simpler, stock your pantry with a variety of essential items like dried herbs and spice blends, as well as shelf-stable healthy grains like brown rice and quinoa. Low-sodium canned beans and broth, fridge staples like eggs and precooked chicken sausage, and a few frozen chicken snacks (like chicken rolls and crispy chicken wontons) can quickly transform prepared ingredients into meals.

Make a more detailed shopping list: You can browse the grocery store with a list organized by department. Keep note of the items you use every week, such as olive oil, onions, and rice, and add them to your shopping list as required.

Make sure you have enough containers: Depending on your week’s plans, you’ll need a range of storage containers, including glass and plastic containers with lids, as well as zip-top storage and freezer bags.

Step 4: Preparation and Storage

Make the most of your time by beginning with the dishes that will take the longest to prepare. Prepare the first-to-cook ingredients and preheat the oven. For grains that need longer to cook, such as farro or brown rice, bring water to a boil.

Prepare the onions for both recipes at the same time and divide them as needed if the same ingredient is used in both, such as chopped onions. To prevent having to wash your cutting board between operations, cut food that will be consumed raw first, then stuff that will be cooked. Always use a clean cutting board and utensils after preparing raw proteins like meat or poultry.

If cut veggies like onions and peppers are stored in sealed containers, they may be maintained in the refrigerator for two to three days. For example, chopped carrots and winter squash will keep for at least four days. Greens and lettuce may be stored in the refrigerator for a week after being washed, dried, and refrigerated. Vegetables, cereals, meat, poultry, fish, or egg dishes should be eaten within three to four days after preparation and warmed to 165°F before serving.

If done correctly, soups, chilis, casseroles, and cooked grains may be frozen for future meals. During those crazy busy weeks, there’s nothing more gratifying than pulling a ready-to-reheat meal from the freezer!

Allow soups and cooked grains to cool to room temperature (within 2 hours) before storing them in quart-size plastic containers or zip-top freezer bags.

Allow for expansion when the food freezes by leaving an inch at the top of the containers. Label and date containers to remind you to eat frozen foods within three to six months. Reheat to a cooking temperature of 165°F when ready to serve. 

In a Nutshell

You’ll discover a meal prepping method that works best for you with a bit of practice as a beginner. Whether you’re preparing ingredients for a single meal, packing work lunches for the week, or creating a double batch of chilli to freeze for next month, meal preparation always pays off if you have staple ingredients always available. So get started now and get all you need from your frozen food supplier! For more information, feel free to get in touch with us.

Easy DIY steamboat (hot pot) at home!

Interesting Tasty Facts

Easy DIY steamboat (hot pot) at home!

One of the most fun ways to spend time with friends and family is to enjoy a steamboat together. All you will need is a nice pot of stock and whatever toppings you like. Seafood, meat, veggies, and noodles are just a few of the options. Some of these ingredients can be bought from your local frozen food supplier.

In this post, you will learn an easy DIY steamboat you can cook at home.

There’s nothing as delicious as a pot of hot, simmering soup with a variety of fresh ingredients. Soup stock for steamboat comes in a variety of flavours, but the most basic hot pot series just requires a delicious chicken broth.

How to make your chicken broth?

Ingredients 

  • Bones from 1 chicken
  • 6 cloves of crushed garlic
  • Ginger
  • 1 bunch spring onions
  • 1 chicken stock cube
  • Ground white pepper 
  • Water enough to cover everything

Bring all of the ingredients to a boil, then reduce the heat. Allow for a half-hour to an hour of simmering time. To keep the soup clear, skim off the grey froth (scum) on top with a ladle. The soup will be more flavorful if you use more bones. When it’s done, strain it into your steamboat pot, discarding the bones and vegetables.

Fresh seafood, thinly sliced chicken or beef, assorted vegetables, noodles, wontons, and dipping sauces are usually included in a basic steamboat menu. To have a nice steamboat, you don’t need a lot of variety; just a few good ingredients would suffice. In general, more seafood results in a sweeter broth in the end, whereas meats result in a richer flavour.

Using large chunks of protein that require a long time to cook, such as bone-in chicken and beef, or whole fish, is a major no-no for steamboat. To cook in a minute, the proteins must be boneless and finely sliced.

Seafood platters are simple but delicious. Fish balls are a must-have, and prawns will sweeten the broth. Squid and tenggiri fish slices will cook in less than a minute. If you want to mess about with shells, crabs are an option. There should be no seasoning on any of these. The soy sauce will provide the flavour.

 

Delicious ingredients to create an aesthetically appealing, delicious, and nutritious hot pot series

1. Small Leaf Prawn Paste

The delicious Small Leaf Prawn Paste is made from a big chunk of high-quality prawn meat. Enjoy a smooth and light springy texture with preserved prawn taste. It’s perfect for a steamboat as you can just pop them into the steamboat as soon as they leave the fridge. Yes, defrost is not necessary. 

2. Fish Roe Lucky Bag

The lucky bag shape of Fish Roe Lucky Bag is truly enticing! On the outside, the lucky bag outer skin is made with Non-GMO soybean; on the inside, it is filled with premium surimi and fish roe, making it a perfect choice for a DIY steamboat.

3. Flower Cheese Tofu

Cheese chunks abound in the EB Food Flower Cheese tofu. This unique flower shape cheese tofu is truly one of its kind. As attractive as it seems, when included in your steamboat, each mouthful delivers mouthwatering blasts of cheesy flavour that will leave you wanting more.

4. Fried Fish Ball

EB Food golden-brown fried fish balls taste smooth and tender, and it is a perfect match for steamboats with different soup bases, be it the one with a mild or spicy flavour. The scrumptious fried fish ball come in two sizes — big or small — for your personal preferences.

5. Fish Bean Curd Roll

The silky and flavorful fish paste in the fish bean curd roll is carefully enveloped in excellent bean curd skin. It’s a delectable dish that might easily become your all-time favourite steamboat dish.

6. Lobster Ball

Premium fish flesh and delectable fish roe are used to make lobster balls. Springy texture with a lightly sweet flavour, a combination that elevates the basic components to new heights of seafood delicacy.

7. Cooked Fish Ball

The cooked fish ball is composed of excellent surimi and has a mild flavour and bouncy texture, making it ideal for any soup, particularly steamboat.

8. Kyoto Yuba

Kyoto Yuba is one of the best choices for steamboats. Made with carefully selected Non-GMO soybean, Kyoto Yuba is rich in soy aroma and it reminds you of the authentic taste of Japanese cuisine. It is an easy and convenient choice for steamboats since soaking is not required.

9. Fried Bean Curd Sheet

The fried bean curd sheet gives you a mouthful of soybean aroma and crispiness. Handmade with high-quality non-GMO soybean, this steamboat companion contains no cholesterol and trans-fat — a perfect choice for health-conscious people. 

10. Fish Sandwich

Fish Sandwich 500gm
Seaweed Yuba 150gm

11. Seaweed Yuba

Seafood yuba is produced with high-protein yuba and nutrient-dense seaweed. It’s a must-have for every steamboat recipe.

12. Shishamo

Bringing All Together

Assemble all of the fresh ingredients in one place. Place them on a plate after cutting and slicing them.

The fresh ingredients will be placed next to the hot pot, and each person (friends and family) will be given a bowl and chopsticks to enjoy the dinner.

Bring the soup (chicken broth) to a boil, then add the other ingredients bit by bit. Vegetables come first, followed by meat, seafood, fish balls, cheese tofu, shishamo, fish bean curd rolls, lobster balls, etc.

Cook the fresh ingredients in batches; it will take an average of 2-3 rounds to use up all of the fresh ingredients.

Slowly scoop up the cooked food and soup with a ladle, eat, and add more to the soup as the ingredients in the pot finish.

You can use soy sauce for the dipping sauce. Cut chillies or chilli oil can be added to the soy sauce if you prefer it spicy.

In a Nutshell

Why are Frozen Seafood Products a Better Alternative for Busy Moms?

Interesting Tasty Facts

Why are Frozen Seafood Products a Better Alternative for Busy Moms?

Nowadays, people are constantly moving due to a demanding work schedule and family obligations, including moms. One consequence of the busy life is that food may be eaten in a rush.

Usually, with one hand, while the other is used to navigate the vehicle, sending messages on their mobile phone while commuting, or type on their computer while at work and at the same time eating lunch. Busy moms may not have the time to cook family meals.

Fortunately, processed frozen foods can help to reduce more than half of your cooking time, giving you just enough time to whip some healthy meals for you and your family.

Frozen foods are half-cooked meals that are stored for next use in a freezer. Since most of the work is finished, busy moms can heat the food for a few minutes and perhaps add a few ingredients and serve, saving you time and energy.

Freezing is a method of natural preservation and does not require additional preservatives. By freezing, vitamins, minerals, and important nutrients are locked in. Frozen food, therefore, is a real alternative to fresh food, which is just as nutritionally healthy, especially if you have a busy schedule.

EB’s processed frozen seafood products have their nutrients locked in, unlike fresh produce that loses some nutrients during storage over time. In general, the nutrient content of frozen seafood is the same and, in some cases, much greater than that of its fresh counterparts. Generally, the mineral content remains the same as that found in fresh foods.

 

Why Buy Frozen Seafood?

The best backup choice for busy moms is frozen seafood and vegetables. They can easily be a genuine alternative to fresh food that takes longer preparation and cook time. It’s just as good nutritionally as fresh. Besides, after the day’s work, you need something you can easily cook without adding to the day’s stress.

If you and your family want to have a healthy, nutritious diet but lack time to cook fresh food, it can be a great source of nutrients to have processed frozen seafood products, vegetables, and fruits in your freezer.

 

Must-have Frozen Seafood for Busy Moms

a. Prawns and Shrimp

An essential addition to any freezer is prawns or frozen shrimp products from EB Frozen Food such as Prawn Paste, Tiger Prawn Roll and Shrimp Wonton.

They don’t take long to defrost and are a flexible ingredient — you can use cold water and hold them in the bag during thawing. It is easy to cook or added to a versatile food. For those who fancy Prawn Paste and Tiger Prawn Roll, the good news is defrosting is not required. In fact, you can directly cook them from frozen giving busy moms great convenience.

 

b) Fish and Crabs

Onboard the ships, commercially captured fish is flash-frozen to hold nutrients, kill parasites and make it last longer. Although white fish can dry out a bit, oily fish such as salmon and tuna freeze well. 

Frozen fish products of EB Frozen Food like the Fried Fish Ball, Crab Nugget, Cooked Fish Ball, or Fish Roe Lucky Bag are easy to thaw and don’t take long to cook. It also is used as an ingredient for versatile foods. When it comes to Fish Roe Lucky Bag, it is made with premium surimi and full of fish roe make this successful combination creates an unprecedented delicacy experience.  

c) Finger Food

Finger Food are quick and easy to cook. The Chicken Series is sweet, fragrant, and nutritious — cooked through tender, marinated chicken breast, mushrooms, and scallions. Finger foods like the Crispy Chicken Wonton, Chicken Roll (Cheese), Chicken Roll (Salted Egg), etc., are available on EB Frozen Food. Seafood finger foods like Crab Stick Roll, Fish Chip, Golden Fish Chip, etc., are also available. These fresh and flavorful finger foods are excellent for busy moms; they could double as a main in larger servings and accompanied by side dishes.

Using Frozen Seafood

From a food safety point of view, it is critical not to refreeze after the product has been thawed. Most frozen crumbed foods are cooked from frozen, so you don’t have to think ahead. And prawns are quickly thawed by putting cold water in a bowl and then draining in a sieve.

A variety of cooking methods are mentioned on the label. We do not suggest deep or shallow frying, as these methods add a lot of fat and kilojoules unnecessarily. Oven-baking is a better way to cook crumbed products. Stir-fry foods such as prawns.

 

In a Nutshell

Finally, not only are EB’s frozen seafood products fast and simple to prepare, but they also help reduce food wastage. By using just as much as you need and throwing the rest of your frozen food back in the fridge, you can easily manage your portions, which in turn saves you cash from not having to throw left-overs away.
