Homemade Chicken Nuggets

Yesterday I was on a cooking frenzy, and I stopped short of making apple cobblers. I'll do that soon! I'm expecting it to be better than apple streusel pie.

I made ayam sambal, though still didn't quite get the same taste as my mum's, but almost there. That was settled in the morning. And near lunch time, I made homemade chicken nuggets for my kids. Have been wanting to try this because I've read reviews saying that kids love homemade nuggets, and also we had them on the island hopping trip in Krabi recently.

Was also a good opportunity to clear the fridge! As usual. Haha. That goes to show how much stuff I buy but don't actually have full purpose for them. HAHAHA.

Homemade Chicken Nuggets

1/2 kg chicken breast
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2/3 cup freshly grated parmesan
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt (or more, depends)
sprinkle of pepper & smoked paprika
1 egg

Pound the chicken breast slightly so that the meat can cook quickly. Slice thinly into nugget sizes.
Pat dry with kitchen towel. Mix all the coating thoroughly together so that the salt will be evenly distributed. Once oil is hot and ready for deepfry, take the chicken piece and dip in egg, then coat with flour mix and fry! Once golden brown, remove from oil. The chicken should be cooked already by then.

My kids love this! My son couldn't stop singing praises. He said Mama you got it! I think he meant I nailed the recipe. Such a sweetheart :) All the nuggets were finished at lunch. So happy! No store-bought nuggets anymore! Never liked them anyway.

** UPDATE **

I made another batch the following weekend, without parmesan but with garlic powder. Was much nicer than parmesan! And Junior loves it too! Much easier, no need to grate cheese.

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
