Sunflower Oatmeal Cookies

My snack stash finished, but there's still work from home. So yesterday night I made some cookies. Oatmeal with sunflower seeds, to make use of ingredients in the pantry and also those stuff makes it kinda healthy. Although 2 cups of sugar AND flour aren't very healthy but hey, there needs to be a balance right? Haha.

Recipe from allrecipes.com

Ingredients

250g butter (I used salted)
1 cup caster sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 cups flour
2 cups oats (I used quick cook)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup mini chocolate chips

Mix the batter using the normal creaming method i.e. butter with sugar, then with eggs (one at a time), then flour, then oats and finally the seeds and chocolate chips. Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls, on a baking sheet and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 12 minutes.

The cookies will flatten out, won't look pretty but it is still crunchy and yummy! Snacks done. Now I can work happily. HAHA.

My kids surprisingly tried and liked it. Usually they won't want to eat my cookies. Maybe cos the seeds aren't crunchy. You have no idea the joy it brings me to see them eat the cookies I make. Like hitting jackpot.

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...
