Shawarma Rice


Got this off Instagram and I've made it before but didn't post here. Recording the recipe for future reference!

Chicken
1kg boneless thigh skinless  (I increased to 1.5kg it's fine)
1/2 cup yoghurt
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic minced
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp chili powder (I added)
1 tbsp salt
(Recipe calls for 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp cardamom, 1 ground tumeric and 1 tsp all spices but I didn't have those so I omitted. Still sedap)

Garlic Sauce
1/2 cup yoghurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic pounded
1 tbsp lemon juice
Pinch of smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste

Yellow Rice
3 cups jasmine rice
3 cups chicken stock (i.e. 2 cubes chicken stock?)
2 tbsp oil
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp tumeric
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin

Marinate chicken for at least 3 hours. Bake the chicken at 220 deg Celsius for 20 to 30 min depending on chicken size. Serve with salad greens and tomato.

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...

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...
