5 of 29

Started day 5 with the usual chicken sandwich (new marinade!) and a little extra of banana and chocolate!

Let's start with the chicken sandwich. Chicken cubes with lettuce and white bread, easy to prepare, good to eat!

Day 1 and 2 I had the same chicken, boneless skinless healthy chicken cubes pan fried in honey bbq sauce, smoked bbq seasoning and black pepper. No salt needed. Was quite yums but I should have pan fried a little longer to get that charred effect.

Yesterday I tried something different. The day before I bought dried basil and oregano and chili powder. Regretted not getting garlic powder too. I'm still figuring out basil so I tried the following instead:

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
2 cloves garlic, mashed & chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp vinegar
salt & pepper

Was kinda good! But maybe I should've marinated longer so the flavours seep in. And probably can add a bit more vinegar too!

I quite like stir frying chicken! Very fast and can play around with different flavours. Should be the same with sliced beef as well. My only hurdle now is to get Husband to like them too hmm.

Anyway!! I was up earlier than usual this morning because Junior cried for milk, I had time to have a little dessert. What was supposed to be just a healthy banana became a sinful dessert. Haha! The banana was too cold for my teeth so I wanted to heat it up, then I thought, why not add chocolate to the mug and heat them altogether! Was AWESOME. Hot chocolate with yummy gooey banana in 40 seconds. Reminds me of camping days when we'd put wedged bananas in aluminium foil and chocolate chunks in the bananas and into the fire! One of the best camping memories. I know. Best camping memory is food?!



Ahhh. I love simple desserts! I think I wanna make this tonight for Husband! :)

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Stir Fried Udon

My baby loves this! Recipe adapted from here . 1 onion, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 packets udon noodles 1 carrot, julienned  250g mushrooms 2 chicken fillet, sliced 2 stalks spring onions 3 tbsp dark soy sauce 2 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tbsp sushi vinegar (replacement for mirin) 2 tsp brown sugar 1 tsp artificial vinegar Recipe doesn't call for onion and garlic but those are pretty much base ingredients for stir fries so might as well. Made this for quick lunch for the kids since they were home alone.

Chicken Rice (just the rice)

Need to jot this down! I have an earlier recipe for Hainanese Chicken Rice but this version is without proper chicken stock hence it's fuss free. Chicken Rice (just the rice) Skins from several boneless chicken thighs 2 tbsp sesame oil 1 lemongrass, bruised 1 onion, sliced 8 garlic cloves, pounded 2 inches ginger, pounded 2 cups rice, washed 3 cups water + 2 cubes chicken stock 1/2 tsp salt 5 knots of pandan leaves Fry the chicken skin until slightly crispy and the oils ooze out, together with the sesame oil. Add in the lemongrass and onions and fry until golden. Add in garlic and ginger. Add in rice and fry for a few minutes before adding the chicken stock water, salt and pandan leaves. Let it come to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes. I used 4 cups water instead and it was kinda soggy so I'm guessing 3 cups should be sufficient. Also, cooking the rice in a pot is way easier than having to transfer into a rice cooker. Chili for Chicken R...
