YES i did VERY simple cooking.. mostly one dish meal or simple steamed dishes..

Here are some of the dishes/meals we had

steam chicken with rice wine

I didn't have any chicken/wine during my confinment so now am making do with it... steamed chicken with mum's homemade hakka rice wine. Simply GOOD!

Steamed Chicken Mushroom Rice

 I MUST SAID....
I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS rice
hahaha *thick skin*
This idea came from Mr sim.. and it can actually become a claypot rice...

 

 

 Rice covered with the essences from the kumpung chicken...
Just love it so much..

 

Super tender chicken that was marinated for 4hrs...
Esp i used the kumpung chicken i gotten few weeks ago :)
Going to stock up my supply soon...

Carmelized Ginger Chicken

You must be wondering what is this dish? MMMM

Actually HONESTLY i hate GINGER

coz it always caused me rashes... many of my closer frds will know ginger made me heat with rashes....

So decided to try out something which i can eat during confinment..

HAHHAHA yeap.. J said i very 厉害

even confinment foods oso must come out on my own..

Well that is to save my own SKIN.. haha

So decided to try out something dat i haven't tried on my own before.. hoping my lil theory work...

The usual ginger chicken works like this:

YES this is the USU ones.. ppl eat @ hm or during confinment

Look familiar isn't it

I tink most of us had it eaten anytime @ home or @ cai peng stall

or those places selling claypot xxx... this sure one of the dish they offered..

 Being me.. hehe i had no claypot so i on the flame higher when the sauces are abt to be absorbed by the chicken.. OH YES
i must raved abt this chicken..
I used kumpung chicken and the meats r so tender even afte being simmer for more then 30min...No extra FATS in it which made one.. wanna take bites after bites..
Mr sim said its nice BUT will be better if its a lil spicy
Lolz.. i tink it reminded him of 3 cup chicken in another way..

he commented tat IF add in more ginger.. it be another confinment dish
mmm oh well i doesn't mind if the confinment lady can do this dish for me.. coz i doesn't taste the ginger in it :p
which i usually will pick it up no matter how thinly sliced the person do it...

 

 

What i used:

1/2 kumpung chicken

marinate the chicken with:
1tblsp light soya sauce
2 tblsp darl soya sauce
1 tblsp oyster sauce
a dash of pepper

Leave aside for 4hrs

Amt of ginger and garlic to ur liking

enuff water to cover the cover.

艾草汤

艾草（学名：Artemisia argyi）是一种多年生草本植物，分布于亚洲及欧洲地区。在诗经时代，就已经是很重要的民生植物。一般用於針灸術的“灸”。所謂針灸其實分成兩個部份。“針”就是拿針刺穴道，而“灸”就是拿艾草點燃之後去薰、燙穴道，穴道受熱固然有刺激，但並不是任何紙或草點燃了都能做為“灸”使用。艾草的氣味肯定也同時發揮了一定的作用。中國民間用拔火罐的方法治療風濕病時，以艾草作為燃料效果更佳。亦會在端午的時候插於門口以避邪。

Today went to the big market and saw this during my marketing... * HAPPY* coz not many place will sell this... as not many ppl know how to cook / appreciate it. Since i haven't decided what soup to cook :) i grabbed a brunch of it. Grew up drinkng this soup. Mum/granny will brew this soup with old mother hen. But i didn't managed to get it so i used the boney parts i bought from a whole chicken..

* Please wash it @ least 4 times to get rid of the sand particles in it. You won't want to waste your pot of soup.

Since am not gg to eat the meat... i used the boney parts from the whole chicken picking out the parts that had lesser meat so that i dun have to spend extra on the bones.

3hrs later :) Hot soup in the pot
