Salted Egg Chicken

Yesterday I was on leave for my baby boy's birthday day out.

Was feeling extra hardworking so I cooked salted egg chicken for sahur. Got up earlier to prepare and I'm glad I did! Later that morning I made bombay briyani for buka. Baby girl was at my mum's for the day so we can give full attention to the birthday boy.

Salted Egg Chicken

These take less than an hour to make, fast and easy peasy and totally yummy! I don't have to buy outside anymore! This is husband-approved!

2 chicken breasts (the big one, not the small pieces)
1 egg white
Cornstarch + 1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp butter
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 inch ginger, finely chopped
3 salted egg yolks, mashed
Evaporated milk, about 7-10 tbsp, depending on how thick you want the gravy to be
20 curry leaves, the more the merrier
2 cili padi (I didn't have this so I used 2 green chilies)

  1. Cut the chicken into bite sized cubes.
  2. Coat them with egg white, then in the cornstarch dip, then deep fry until golden.
  3. In another pan, heat butter until melted and hot.
  4. Fry the mashed egg yolks until they mix well with the butter and is bubbling.
  5. Fry in the ginger, garlic, chili and curry leaves.
  6. Add in the evaporated milk and stir well. You may want to add some water.
  7. Add the fried chicken and coat well.
No home-made birthday cake for the boy this year, cos we have lots of leftover cake from Sunday's celebration, and there's gonna be more cake for this Sunday's celebration too! So I made ice cream cake, i.e. mould chocolate ice cream in a cake pan ahahhaha. Plus he likes ice cream and not cake.

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...
