Reruns of Recipes

I love boneless chicken. Easy to cook. I also buy boneless chicken mainly for the kids' homemade nuggets, but last weekend I cooked for myself too.

Made some easy stir fry, adapted from Orange Soy Sauce Chicken. Didn't use soy sauce but used oyster sauce.

Orange Juice Chicken Stir Fry

700g boneless chicken cubes
4 cloves garlic
Juice from 3 oranges
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 cili padi, 2 red chilis
Handful of roasted peanuts

Smash the garlic and chop finely. Slice the chilis. Fry the chili in oil, then add in garlic. Add the chicken and fry for a few minutes. Add in the orange juice, oyster sauce and honey. Cook until sauce thickens. I removed the cili padi right after cooking.

Husband approves this! Though only for 1 meal, no reheating. Haha. I'm amazed he wanted to give this a try, and even more amazed that he likes it!

Also made roti kirai and chicken curry (boneless chicken to the rescue again!) the day after because the kids had a taste of it at the carnival and wanted more. Made one batch of roti kirai, and a small batch of chicken curry (reduced the amount of onions) to accompany the roti kirai. SUPER tired but at least the kids love it and said thank you mummy, so yummy! Honestly though I had some sort of exhaustion? Possibly the lungs or heart. Took quite a while to recover from that.

Later that evening in between some ironing like as if I wasn't tired enough I made a batch of banana cupcakes (baby girl calls it muffins since it doesn't have frosting). This is honestly the best recipe for banana cake. Today superstar returns home!

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
