Zespiri Kiwifruit Seafood Salad with Kiwi Chili Mayo

My children have a bad case of hay fever and it's definitely a condition any parent would rather wish their kids do not have especially in this place and climate. A twice a year flu season throws the whole school in chaos, I in definite panic. Most kids will recover after week with ample medicine and rest. My kids,,, not that easy.
Then I found out that kiwifruit is a rich source of Vitamin C (double the amount orange offers and 5 times the nutrition you'll get from an apple). One kiwifruit a day is enough to supplement your daily Vitamin C. Lucky for me, Zespiri kiwifruit in particular is on the sweeter side and so the possibilities are endless.

Tip 1: Re-use paperbag from fast food chains for breading. The best for coating, 100%. It absorbs extra moisture from meat which you do not want when deep frying. Leaves your to-be fried pieces perfectly coated all the time!
Tip 2: When deep frying breaded shrimp, you only need to deep fry for few seconds, once the oil bubbles starts to subside, it's time to fish them out. It will continue cooking while resting.
Tip 3:  Add more cayenne if you want your dressing spicier.
Kiwi Chili Mayo Ingredients:
1/3 cup pureed Zespiri kiwifruit
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 1/2 tomato ketchup
1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1/8 teaspoon crushed chilis
1/8 teaspoon anatto powder dissolved in 4 tablespoons WARM water
1 teaspoon cornstarch diluted in 4 teaspoons COLD water
1/2 to 1 cup mayonnaise

Salad Ingredients
4 Zespiri kiwifruit, peeled and sliced bite size (whichever you prefer)
500 grams medium sized shrimp, cleaned, deveined and cut into 3
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup bread crumbs
250 grams calamari
1/2 cup cornstarch
Dash of salt and pepper
Lettuce, shredded
Sesame seeds, toasted (for garnish)

Dressing Procedure:
Heat kiwifruit, soy sauce, ketchup, sugar, cayenne in a sauce pan. Add the anatto mixture and cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and simmer until thick. Take off from the heat and let it cool down. Add kiwifruit mixture to mayonnaise, mix thoroughly. Set aside.
Deep-fried  Seafood:
Dip shrimp pieces in egg then drop to bread crumbs. Deep fry for a few seconds, drain excess oil on kitchen towel, set aside.

Dry excess water on calamari rings. Add cornstarch, salt and pepper. Toss until well coated. Deep fry for a minute, drain excess oil on kitchen towel, set aside.
Assembling Procedure:

Add lettuce on serving bowl. Top with mixed calamari, shrimp and Zespiri Kiwifruit pieces. Drizzle with Kiwi Chili Mayo.

Serve immediately!

Happy Eating!!!
BETCHAdidn'tKNOW *Zespiri Kiwifruit also contains high levels of Actinidin, an enzyme that helps with protein digestion and aside from a steak garnish, kiwifruit can also be used as a natural meat tendrizer. :)

    I'm No Chef but I love food like it's no one's business.

    I didn't know anything about cooking... frying an egg used to be a nightmare.. until I was forced to learn more... I had my first born... that's when my gastronomic journey started...

    Join me in my food quest.
    Laugh at my embarrassing moments.
    Share my triumphs.

    And if you're brave enough ... cook with me (ooooh scary!), virtually that is, and have the most enjoyable time!

    Welcome aboard
    fellow foodies!
