Crispy Chicken Fingers

I found this recipe from Zoomyummy's blog. This is my first time of frying chicken fillet with breadcrumbs. I can said my first time of using breadcrumbs. I fell in love with it. This recipe is more yummy than the frozen nuggets. My kids doesn't like the frozen nuggets except Mcd Nuggets but they like this crispy chicken too. When my fussy hubby first tasted of this fillet, he said nice.

Chicken with Cashew Nuts

I always cook the meat in one colour that is either soya sauce or curry chicken. I prefer to cook a dish which can serve whole family. I admit i sometimes quite lazy though :o). No wonder my mom always complaint sometimes she doesn't know what to buy from the wet market. Now i understand after being a housewife lately. Usually the day before i go to wet market i will list down the ingredient that i need to cook for next few days so i won't be stuck when i was in a market.

Since i still have some cashew nut, i tried out this recipe from Frozenwings,

Salted Rice Cooker Chicken

I was actually google for cake recipe and thought of make some cake tonight but running out of some ingredient so i gave up. So coincidence Nasilemaklover posted her latest chicken's recipe. And so coincidence i'm not sure what to cook for dinner tonight. Initially i thought of just steamed the chicken with herbal which i used to cook whenever i can't think or lazy. Steaming method is just a simple menu for me, no headache. hehe. Until i came across this super easy and yummy chicken's recipe from Nasilemaklover which cooked in the rice cooker. When i saw this recipe i was like "WOW, i never cook in rice cooker". You know what, i'm going to use rice cooker to cook again...it is really less headache as no need to check on the gas stove just put inside the rice cooker. The chicken is so tasty especially the angelica. This salted chicken reminds me the Salted Chicken Rice Shop at Jalan Imbi at KL. Last time i used to called for delivery for lunch with my ex-colleague, they came with the set like rice with chicken and soup.

2 pcs kg drumstick (Original 1.5 kg chicken)

1/2 to1tsp salt to taste (Original 1tbs and 1tsp)

- Soak tong kwai into wine for 30mins

- Rub salt over the chicken with tong kwai and wine for 2hrs

- Place chicken into rice cooker and also the mixture, and cook

- Cook until it ready to serve.

Steamed Chicken with Chinese Sausage

I cooked this simple dish today. I don't fancy chinese sausage (lap cheong) but i like" lap yuk" (dark fat wax pork, sorry i didn't know what is it call.) Try to find chinese text here, i'm still novice on blogging,  don't know where to find the chinese text. :OP

Verdict: The drumstick soft and the gravy tasted yummy. My kids like the chinese sausage so much.

Last week my mom in law gave us some chinese sausage. I got some boneless drumstick and "lap yuk" in my freezer, i steamed it with chinese sausage. The recipe i got it from the recipe book below.

Steam Herbal Chicken

I felt sick of cooking soya sauce chicken. I decided to steam herbal chicken for my daugh on Saturday lunch which is healthy for her too. I searched whatever herbals that left in the fridge. I can said this dish is delicious maybe this time i marinated the chicken with slightly more salt compared to last time i just marinated abit salt only and the chicken was tasteless. I dont want the chicken too salty as it is not good for kids.

I used,

Chicken thigh marinated with salt for 15mins

Herbals;

1 pc of angelica (tong kwai)

Few pieces of "yuk chuk"

2-3pcs of "tong sum"

Few wolfberries (kei zi)

2-3pcs red dates

3-4 pcs of "tung chung chou" (like a worm)

1/4 water

1. Boil herbals for 10-15mins 

2. Put chicken on the steaming plate 

3. Pour step 1 on the chicken and steam on high heat for half an hour or until it cook

The gravy best to serve with rice.

Chicken with potato

Chicken with potato soya sauce

ABC soup with celery

My son has been sick for a week. We didn't go out anywhere on Merdeka Day. I didn't cook ABC soup for sometimes, I decided to cook it on that day which is one of my daugh's favourite soup. Besides carrot, potato, tomato, this time i added celery with frozen Japanese scallop. One more thing i almost forgot is dry cuttlefish, i added it later. Maybe i did not cook it regularly that's why tend to forgot the ingredients that needed for the soup.

I always have to think about the dish that come out with gravy for my daugh. This time i cook chicken with potato. I'm not very good to give the measurement for the recipe like other bloggers did. I just assume the amount of the ingredients that needed. I'm trying to provide simple and summarize recipe here :oP

Recipe :

- Fry potato until it turns light brown. Set aside

- Marinate chicken with soy sauce and dark soy sauce for about half an hour

- Put chopped garlic and slice ginger in wok. Stir until golden brown then add in chicken. Stir chicken until it turn brown then add potato. 

- Add water to cover chicken for simmer. Put soy sauce, dark soy sauce, dash of sugar (depends on your taste).
