preparing soft shell turtle? [General]
2008 Apr 15
medicinejar Peter is actually referring to Uni Foods. It's a Chinese grocery store in Vanier at the corner of Montreal Road and the Vanier Parkway. (There used to be a Market Fresh there and the Vanier location of Loblaws is nearby...) It's like all of Chinatown under one roof and it's clean! We don't seem to have them listed as a vendor so I guess it's time to add them...
Peter Sorry I can't help with the turtle recipes. I will eat most things but turtle is not one of them. Hopefully someone else can help out?

My dad makes them when I am in HK. He usually braise it with Chinese mushrooms and sometimes mixes in some pork as well. I am pretty sure there is some sort of alcohol in the sauce. The usual suspects, ie. garlic, giner, scallions etc... are always present. I am not sure of the exact recipe, but maybe I can pick his brain next time I call him.
Just curious - are the soft shelled turtles in Uni de-clawed and de-shelled?

Before I head off to google for recipes, I thought I'd ask if anyone has prepared these before? I think I might grab 1 or 2 to try.
