Pasta - Cannelloni

Cannelloni.. are rect pasta sheets that are rolled into a cylindrical shape..
I love these coz the pasta sauce will be filled up inside..
Matched it with some grilled chicken..

very satisfied.. :)

Grilled chicken

Missed bbq foods and had been a long time since we had any bbq going on.. and the weather nowsaday is like SO burning hot..
so can forget it..
Decided to marinate some chicken meat for our dinner...
of coz i didn't have any charcoal tray.. i used my normal non stick pan.

Porridge

Actually the plan is to cook PLAIN congee
BUT since i add quite a fair share of marinated meat from the won ton i made..
I decided to add into the plain porridge

Mmm surprised!!!!!

a very old memory came back
I remembered during pri sch days.. there is tis old ah ma who is a vendor in the sch canteen selling fried mee/ bee hoon + limited edition porridge.. very simple porridge BUT it just tasted so good... and its always sold out very fast...
After getting familiar with the ah ma.. before sch start.. i will swing by her stall and request her to save me a bowl of porridge...
hahaha *played smart* to pre order 1st :p
Very hard to resist...

Fried wanton

Actually i wanna to do this ytd BUT this big sotong mummy... happily swing to the market and swing back home
DEN realised WON TON SKINS are being leftout..
No choice.. since today not gg to the market.. i settled for the ones sold in supermarket
MMMMM i still perfer the fresh ones from the market.. HONESTLY it does taste differ..

Fried celery

Another simple veg to go along with the porridge i cooked.. been some times since i cooked this..

六味汤

I noticed i haven't been brewin soup for a LONG time since getting preg. Coz there are alots of soups tht preg woman shouldn't take... so poor Mr sim had no soup to drink...
六味汤 is the most ideal for both of us.. since he can take it too..
so 1 stone kills 2 birds..
He get to enjoy his share as well.. i get to have some soup @ the same time..

As everythings are alrdy pre-packed..
All u need is to follow the instruction or DO what you always do..

All Pre-packed into indivdual pack

I prefer to have it washed and rinise off to get rid of the dirt

Before adding the ribs into the boiling water, i pre cooked it to get rid of the dirt/tiny bones/blood

, so that the soup base won't be so chalky later on.

Adding ever

ythings into the boiling water to cook... I perfer letting it simmer for @ least 3hs.. BUT if u had no time.. u r always free to use the slow cooker to do so before work / before doing your own stuffs.

3hrs later....

Fried Rice

The lazy wife decided to cook extra rice ytd for fried rice today... easy and simple..
No complain from our Mr sim.. coz he love fried rice...

Pasta AGAIN

Errr YES its pasta AGAIN in the hse..
I had lost count of how many times i had pasta and till date.. haven't get sick of it..
Its becoming on of my comfort foods with baby inside...

Decided to make my own chicken meatballs with minced chicken meat..
Steamed it then add into the pasta sauce to slightly braise it.. to let it get more flavour.
