Dun know of any herbal cook book for babies yet, believe there's many aroung, think those from Taiwan should have lor.. Unfortunately, I dun know how to read chinese... so can't get any.. Still hunting for one.

Your question about ikan bilis, Here's a pic on the type of ikan bilis usable.. The one on the left is no peeled but nice color, the one on the right is peeled but dull lor, got that moldy kind of look, but is said to be very sweet.. (that's wat the provision shop seller told ) I personally prefer the clean one on the left.. just extra work, that's all.

Here's a pictorial explanation of how to cut the prawn.. Hehehe.. also put in the one for sushi making..
Top one is with satay stick, Bottom is for tempura
Notice I cut at the section of the prawn's legs..
For sushi, boil in hot water, once cooked,
Quickly put in cold ice water to stop the cooking process, the heat retained can still cook the prawn slightly further and it won't be nice..
Slowly pull out the satay skewer, Cut and devein.
Guess my only way of helping you to relief your stress is thru teaching you how to prepare food for your family...
Although I'm also a SAHM, I'm far too way back as compared to you doing everything on your own.. You did a great job as a mum!
