Do not throw your kulit udang

Im a hoarders. I rarely throw away food. I usualy end up freezing everything that i think can be use later. 

For example, kalau buat cheese cake u only egg yolk je kan. I will freeze the remaining white egg. Just in case kalau nak buat meringue or pavlova. 

Paling2 selalu that i freeze is. Kulit udang and chicken bones. 

This is of course to make stocks.

Prawn stocks are awesome for tom yam, mee kari or even kari kepala ikan. So i always keep them in hand just in case.

How to ? Sgt simple. just chuck your prawn shell into a pot. Put in cold water. I usualy masukkan a bunch of thyme and basil leaves.

Boil it for an hour. And strain it. Cool and store in your freezer

For chicken stock i usually rebus together with carrots, onion and celery. Thyme and basil. Again, strained, cool and freeze. 

This stocks can be made while you are mandi, or bathing ure kids or while watching tv.  Super easy super simple but generous in flavour. Believe me, that prawn stock will make your tom yam taste like no other tom yam before. It is full with flavour. And it cost next to none. Kulit and kepala udang yg u normally cmpak masuk tong sampah. 

Now, next time. Think twice before you throw it away. Hehehe
