but i did offered to take care of him yesterday. he insisted me to go to work. then ok lor.. or else where got so many posts for u guys to read on rite? hahaha.. faster say thanks to him ya.

back from work. then called him for dinner. he said we go outside makan.. he will take those soup soup stuff. but i think not so good oso lar. even he's taking the soup stuff, the cook will add in some fried lard(猪油) into the soup. so better not rite? too oily. not good for food poisoning patient. so i decided to cook porridge since i got carrots and baby corns at home.

so my porridge. easy one. everything in one pot and settle at one time. saves time and energy. i'm a lazy pig. dun like those super extra extremely troublesome thingy to prepare. tat's y go for easy steps.

Rasa Sayang Porridge
Ingredients
1) Carrot (half of the size.. er.. depends on how big is the carrot oso.. if baby carrot, then nonit half lor. instead hv to double the size.) - diced it.
2) Baby Corns - half of the can. (** ya.. i kno Can stuff not good. but this is wat i hv at home)
3) Scallops (small size) - 7-10 pieces
4) Rice - 1.5 Cups

Steps
1) Put all the ingredients into the pot and add in water. The water amount will be double of the rice or depends on how watery u wan the porridge to be. haha... :P mine turn out as congee..
2) Let it boil.
3) Add in sesame oil and a little bit of salt for taste.

Simple rite? I prefer congee than porridge. but liangzai likes porridge. so follow his style lor.
er.. i heard someone said sth.. **wah.. u stil add in scallops to ur porridge ar??" yes, dear.. taste better... if can, boil some anchovies(ikan bilis) soup + scallops first. then get the anchovies out. then mix together in ur porridge. lagi best..

ok.. this time i remember to take pic.. hehe :P


so.. how is it? ok??

15 Min Chicken Rice..

** u sure ur chicken rice takes onli 15min completely cooked wif the rice and chicken? **
** yes, my dear **
** ok.. then u better share this out in ur blog.. **

well, another conversation wif my fren. damn 38. since she wanna kno the steps, oklar.. i blogged it out. actuali, i read abt this on My Simple Kitchen last friday. normally when i cooked chicken rice, i wil used my wok to do so. but this time, i decided to learn from wat i'd read. so instead of using my wok, i use rice cooker.

ok.. the ingredients are stated in the link above. but i jus do it my own style. not following much too. :)... earli morning, get chicken breast out from the fridge and defrost it. well, i had a lunch date session wif Janice and Wilson in Neway karaoke. so i nit to get everything done b4 11am wic i'm supposed to get out from the house at tat time.

to get the chicken marinated completely into the meat, my mum taught me a way of doing so. pick a fork and poke on the meat.. wahahha.. easy ler.. ok.. i poke a few times on the chicken. then get the onions and ginger peeled nicely. and get ready for me to tumbuk...

er.. wat's this called?? can someone pls tel me??? my mum bought this for me. cos she said use this to tumbuk chili veli nice compared to those blended one. and she's correct.

P/S: ok.. this is called Batu Lesung as wat Little Inbox mentioned in my comment. Thanks, Inbox!
yahoo~~ peiyun told me d... it's MORTAR & PESTLE. omg!! ** sweating ** i shld hv b extremely hardworking when i'm younger. see.. kids out there.. dun play too much ar.. or else wil bcome like jie jie. simple english oso kenot remember... haha

and i tumbuk the onions and ginger til it look like this....

and i squeezed the juice out from mixture of ginger and onions into my chicken and marinate it for a few hours. (er.. i finished this abt 10.45am and cooked it at 7pm)..


at nite, i took out the mixture tat i tumbuk earlier this morning and chopped garlic from the fridge. stir fried them until fragrant. then i added in the juice leftover for the chicken marinating. stir fried again. then add in water (depends on the amount of rice u're cooking.. normally 1 cup of water = 1 cup of rice), soy sauce and sesame oil. then i poured the mixture to the rice cooker.. and then, place the chicken on top. so it look like this. and let it cook. yahoo~~ save job and time...


TA DA!! job completed.. tested the taste.. oppss.. forgot to add in a lil bit of salt.. haha.. so guess wat? i add in light soy sauce on the rice and i kacau kacau it. then let it keep warm a while.


so.. the left is my portion and the right is liangzai's one. how come din cut the chicken into pieces?? nop.. i din.. cos onli 1 chicken breast so i jus tore it up into half. i took a bit and the rest goes to liangzai's tummy.


haha.. finished it within 5 mins.. damn hungry but liangzai stil full wor.. so he ate a bit.


funny stuff?? er.. ya.. rice not enuff actuali.. haha... when i'm preparing the rice, i jus realised tat the rice is not enuff. luckily we had heavy tea break. wahahhaha... well, this portion is ngam ngam nice for 1 person (liangzai's size ok?? if my size ar, sure will left one small bowl one).. wahhaha :P

if u wan the rice and the chicken to taste even more better, add in pandan leaves. tumbuk together wif the ginger and onions and juiced it. then add some pandan leaves when u're cooking the rice. it's reali taste better. :)

getting spagetti done is even easier than cook a set of dinner consists of rice, 1 vege and 1 pork. saves time and energy.. haha.. ok, back to topic...

so i reached home ard 630pm. the first thing, i opened the door then rushed to kitchen. good.. everything is defrozed. so i get the minced pork out and marinated it wif some pepper and light soy sauce. and left it there. then i boiled a pot of water wif some oil and salt added in. i washed the chicken meat and rinsed off the water in the prawns' container. well, it stink!! haha.. ermm.. not stink.. it's just tat the seafood smell lar.. haha.. then re-fill water again. then went to get myself a change to casual clothes. haha.. u dun expect me to cook wif my office wear on rite??

after tat, get down from my room. went to the fridge and get the cherrie tomatoes (given by Uncle CK and Auntie Yee Ling from Cameron) and half of red chilli. washed the tomatoes and cut into half. aiya.. quite small ler.. how to dice it? if i diced them, it wil bcome minced tomatoes d.. looks yucky rite? after tat, sliced the chilli. then get a can of mushrooms. opened the can and get the mushrooms out. rinsed them wif water several times. then cut them into pieces. then get a can of tomato puree and opened the can.. ok.. stil remember i was boiling the water rite? ok.. once the water boiled, i put in the linguine in. well, according to instructions, it says boil it for 9-11 minutes. ok.. so while waiting, i get everything prepared lor.. proceed to dicing the chicken meat. and washed the prawns. i added in some salt for marinating the prawns. get an big onion and chopped it.

10mins passed. well, the instructions tipu me. it says 9-11mins and the linguine will be ready rite? hai~~ i hv to ask steve to test on the linguine whether it's soft enuff to take it out or not? first attempt failed. so i jus let it boil another 10mins. 2nd attempt, OK!! hahaha.... so i get a container. filled in wif corn oil and oregano leaves (depends on ur taste lar. wanna put the leaves extremely banyak oso can...). so i took out the linguine and placed it in the container and mixed them well wif the ingredients. ok.. gao tim!! LINGUINE is ready. so it was the sauce's turn.

well, at this time, liangzai is back from work. 7pm. he came into the kitchen. and the first thing he asked was not offering help to me instead 'so slow one? not yet gao tim ar?'... eeessshh!! eeeessshhh!! kns. ppl busy like auntie liao summore kena complain. wanna slap him. wahhaha... he summore said 'aiyo!!! so much of minced pork ar? u wanna put everything into the sauce is it?'.. hmm.. ya, wat's wrong?.. 'so much meat liao. got chicken summore.. can i take half out for my fried wan tan??'.. TA DA!!! tat's the main reason y he cakap banyak lar.. wanna eat fried wantan.. summore tel me so much meat. ok lar.. see him so kelian. i allowed him to do so.. but i'm not going to wrap tat wan tan. he wrapped himself. ** wah, ur liangzai can cook ar? summore help u out wor.. so sweet of him..** ya.. he can cook. but some of the dishes taste so-so onli cos he alwis rushing to get it done fast as he alwis get hungry while cooking it half-way. :P i bet he's going to kill me now...

aiyo.. ok back to spagetti sauce.. wahhaha... get the wok, pour in some oil and heat it up. eessshh.. macam lar orang tak tau i was using the wok to cook.. haha.. :P.. then add in some garlic and chopped onions and fried it until fragrant.. then, added in the minced pork and chicken meat. fried them. mixed well wif the onions and garlic. then added tomato puree. then mixed them well. there wil b some leftover of the puree in the can. dun throw the can first. filled the can wif water and stirred the puree together wif water. then added bit by bit into the sauce until ur preferred thickness of the sauce. then add in the mushrooms and tomatoes and chillies. covered the wok up and let it boil for several minutes.

then liangzai showed off his skill on frying his wan tan. ok lar.. let him fry.. then i jus washed all the plates and bowls tat i'd used just now. ok.. after washing the plates, i asked him to test the taste of the sauce. too sour cos tomatoes and the puree. guess wat we do? add in chilli sauce, light soy sauce and pepper. let the sauce boil for a while. so when the sauce is ready, the wantan is ready, we started our dinner. yahoo~~~ ngam ngam for 4 persons. of cos, got leftover a small bowl of the linguine and the sauce. guess wat??? supper lor.. not mine of cos, it's liangzai. so u guys kno y he keep on growing horizontally instead of vertically oledi?? hehehe... :P
