Lontong Goreng Tomyam

When Husband's not around, I become more hardworking HAHAHA. I clean more, I cook more. Saturday I made lontong goreng tomyam for breakfast, and yesterday I made my first ever chicken rice.

I even have ingredients to make aglio olio, which I think I'll make either tonight or early tomorrow morning for breakfast.

The lontong goreng was a pure experiment, no inferences from recipes and all but it turned out good. Not sure if it's something Husband would eat haha!

Lontong Goreng Tomyam

1 packet lontong instant Adabi, cut in cubes
4 tbsp tomyam paste
2 eggs, pre-scrambled
Handful of mushrooms
Chicken breast, sliced
Coriander leaves (I didn't have lemongrass or lime leaves)
1/2-1 tsp salt

Fry the tomyam paste in some oil, then add the mushrooms and chicken to cook them. Add some water so the paste doesn't dry up. Add in the scrambled eggs then the lontong cubes and fry until mixed well.

For yesterday's chicken rice, I adapted slightly from a recipe I found online but could do with more edits. Here's the recipe for the rice.

Chicken Rice

2 cups rice
Chicken fats
5 cloves garlic, pounded
1 inch ginger, pounded
If have, which I didn't: pandan leaves, lemongrass. I used spring onions HAHA
3/4 cube of chicken stock
2 cups water
1 tsp salt (could maybe use 1 1/2 or 2?)

Fry the garlic and ginger in some vegetable oil, then add in the chicken fats.

The rice was flavourful, but could do with a bit more salt. Glad that my son loved it! My daughter loved it too, she was eating on her own picking up the rice and chicken bits and feeding herself, using her left hand. Haha. Both kids start using their left hands before the right, I guess they got that from me.

Well at least this is a healthier version of chicken rice compared to Husband's. I need to get an alternative to using the chicken stock cube, though I know I significantly reduced the amount used by Husband. Not as daunting a task to cook chicken rice, I think I can cook this for the son next time, and reduce the need to buy chicken rice.

Now I have to master frying chicken hahaha. He claims mine is different from nyai's. Okay fine I'll find a yummy recipe haha.

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead. Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius.

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
