The last supper (of this horrible year). Sort of a clean-out of fridge-freezer.
Fried rice with some cod that was living in the freezer and some "Phoenix-tail" prawns* ditto. With black garlic**, white chilli and red shallots.
* "Phoenix-tail" refers here to prawns/shrimp which have been peeled except for the tails ends, giving you a handle. Not sure why, but the Chinese have a thing about phoenixes. All sort of things are "phoenix" including several towns and villages.
** I've mentioned on here before that I usually buy this single-headed garlic. A few days ago, I came across a black single-headed garlic version for the first time. Black regular garlic is what I usually come across and despite already having an adequate supply of that, I had to buy the single headed version, too. That's what I used tonight.
I will be celebrating saying goodbye to 2016 before most of you do (it's almost 11 pm here), so let me wish everyone a better 2017. Happy eating!
