Ayam Masak Merah

Back to work after the long weekend!

One of the days Husband requested for ayam masak merah, and good thing I bought coriander leaves and the tomyam spices set before the holidays. This recipe my friends, is totally Husband approved!

I used my mama's recipe and accidentally doubled the tomato puree (I know it's one can but I forgot there's a smaller can hurhur) but seems fine still.

1 kg chicken, already fried
2 medium onions, minced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 stalk lemongrass, cut into 3 and bruised
8 tbsp cili kisar
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 - 3 tbsp sugar
140g tomato puree
Coriander leaves (the more the merrier)

No pictures though but I could do this again!

Amazingly I didn't bake for the past 4 days. I did make my no egg banana pancake and I caramelised some bananas to go with it.

Have been thinking about making bread with tangzhong but as usual, I will look for soooo many recipes, read and re-read before actually doing it. I could have done it yesterday, but not knowing when the kids will wake up and all that, I postponed. Again. Haha.

And I postponed a plan to make cod potato cakes too! I'll make them after I go get some spices/leaves.

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...
