Second post in a day! I'm alone at home, that's why. No baby to disturb me wahahaha. Haven't done as much houswork as I thought I would, I wish I could clean the fan, vacuum the floor, iron next week's clothes, but all that is pretty much impossible within a couple of hours.
Anyway! I wanted to blog about lunch! I had no idea what to cook, but I know I wanted something soupy. So I boiled angel hair pasta (mee sua would have been my first choice but I'm out of that) and decided to marinate chicken first. Teriyaki chicken with pasta soup. With very few basic ingredients! Perfect for a kitchen that doesn't have much ingredients stocked up.
I have now mastered the art of cooking for one, my estimations have improved. Sliced thin strips of the chicken breast that I always use for Junior's porridge, and got started on lunch preparations.
Chicken Teriyaki (for 1)
1 portion of chicken, sliced thinly
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
2 crushed & chopped cloves of garlic
Mix all ingredients together, marinating the chicken. You could use honey, but my honey is unrecognisable, it became a thick solid so I had to resort to using normal sugar. I marinated these at the beginning, and cooked it last, giving the marinade time to coat the chicken. I had no idea these simple and few ingredients can result in a yummy dish!
For the soup, I reused the pot that boiled the angel hair. Fried crushed & chopped garlic (1 clove, not too much unless you want to have a bitter broth), added water (1 portion of soup), a pinch of chicken stock cube and let it boil. Add in the vegetables (I used chye sim I think) and cook for a couple of minutes and pour into the bowl of angel hair.
Pan fry the teriyaki chicken until the edges are slightly charred or crispy. And we're ready to serve! Top the bowl with the hot and yummy chicken and eat immediately! I regret not making extras. Oh wells. The chicken wasn't dry at all! I am amazed. I just might do this again later for an early dinner heehee :)
