The Chef In Me

These are some of the dishes I whipped up while Mom was away at sister's house. Yes, I am so proud of myself! I cooked dinner for two days in a week! Here's a look at some of the dishes...
Okay, this one is everyone's favourite and the simplest dish to cook yourself! I am sure most of us know how to recreate this dish without much difficulty...
 If you know me well enough, my favourite method of cooking is boiling. Just dump all the ingredients into one big pot and wait for them to be cooked! Hassle free and as easy as ABC. This is a pot of coriander-chikuwa-button mushroom soup. In case you have no idea what chikuwa is, it is a kind of fish cake. You usually eat it in steamboat/hotpot. For your info, my two stalks of coriander cost $1.95 because I couldnt find any in NTUC. It's $1.95 because it's organic and I got it from Cold Storage. Got a thrashing from Mom cuz it's almost triple of the price that she usually gets from the wet market. Oops.. Sorry loh cuz I am still a green horn and I dun go market so often.
 
Another basic dish. Stir fry vegetables with garlic. Lightly salted. I try to go low on salt since it brings out the original taste of the vegetables.  I wouldnt want the seasoning to mask out everything. 
 
Sister grumbled: where got people steam luncheon meat one? Haha.. That's me! I try to avoid using the oil as much as I can because I am afraid of oil spattering on my hands. 
 
This is no simple porridge! It consists of button mushrooms, dried mushrooms, anchovies, batang fish, ginger slices. Seasoning used include oyster sauce and dark soya sauce. It's simple to make because I just simmer it under low heat while the cooker does its job. 

Alright that's all for now! I think I can be a good housewife next time. Hehe. That's if I dun haf a husband who's darn picky about food of course.
