Snack Time!! Another Dipping Snack:)

This is a snack I created when I was in primary school. Back then, I always had snacks like crisps, biscuits and sweets as soon as I got home from school.  I finished all my snacks way too soon before our weekend snack shopping. So halfway through the week, how did I survive through the remaining days?? Somehow I came up with this recipe of with just condensed milk and some bread that I found from my kitchen. Umm.. I guess it's too simple to even call it a recipe! Anyways, let's get started! 

You will need:
Condensed Milk
Slices of bread

Steps:
1. Cut your bread into bite-sized rectangular pieces, or cubes for kids (I used to cut them in cubes in primary school:D)
2. Place it on a toaster tray and then into the toaster and toast it until it turns golden brown. If you do not have those toasters that look like mini-ovens, an ordinary toaster where the bread pops up will do, but toast the bread first before cutting it, I hope you are not making a mess with bread crumbs all over the place when you cut it >.< )
3. Now the bread should be crispy on one side and soft on the side facing down. At this point you can turn our bread pieces over and toast the other side if you prefer it to be extra crispy. But for me, I tend to just toast it on one side:)
4. Moving on to the best part! dip the bread into your condensed milk and you are ready to eat!

Potato Chicken

Today's menu is going to be a combo of chicken and potatoes, coupled with rice and healthy veggie! Let's get started before we salivate!

You will need:
(4 servings)
4 bowls of Jasmine Rice 
Iceberg Lettuce ( more green, the heathier :P )
1 big potato or 2 small sized 
3 Chicken thighs (use boneless thighs to make life easier)
Soya Sauce
Pinch of sugar
Pinch of corn starch
pinch of salt
Oyster sauce
Cooking oil
water

Steps:

• marinate the chicken 
• Prepare and cook the rice
• cook the main

To marinate the chicken:
1. Dice up the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
2. Add in about 1.5 tsp of soya sauce, a pinch of sugar and some corn starch. 
3. "Massage" and mix it. Leave it for at least 20 mins.

Prepare the rice:
1. Measure out two cups of rice and wash it with water 2 times in the rice cooker pot.
2. Add water to the rice so the water level reaches the joints at the back of your hand.
3. Place it into a rice cooker and let it do the job:)

Cook the main:
1. Dice up the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. 
2. Add some oil to a heated pan.
3. Fry the potatoes until the sides turns slightly brown.
4. Add in about 3/4 cup of water and put the lid on to let it cook.
5. When all the water is gone, try and see if it is cooked on the inside, if not, add more water.
6. Place the potatoes on a plate, and add some cooking oil to the pan.
7. Fry the chicken at medium heat. 
8. When it is 90% done, add in the potatoes.
9. Prepare a sauce in a bowl with 2 spoons of oyster sauce, 1 spoon of soya sauce, a pinch of sugar and cornstarch. Stir it so the sugar and cornstarch dissolves.
10. Add it into the pan and put the lid on to let it cook until the sauce thickens slightly.

Boil the veggie:
1. Boil some hot water in a kettle.
2. Wash the lettuce.
3. To a pot, add in water, lettuce and a pinch of salt.
4. Leave it to bowl at high heat for a few mins.

Finally, place everything on a nice plate or bowl and Ta-da! 

Something plain today!

My sister is not feeling well today, so we decided to have something quite plain and light, something that's easier to swallow and digest -- Congee.

You will need:
(4 servings)
10 dried shrimps
Mince Meat (size of your fist)
iceberg lettuce
2 cups of rice
12 cups of water
soya sauce
sugar
corn starch
salt

Steps:
1. Wash the dried shrimps and soak it in water for 15 mins. Then drain off the water.
2. Wash the rice twice and then add in twelve cups of water. When I make congee, I tend to use the ratio 1:6 between the rice and water. Let it cook in the rice cooker. Add in the dried shrimps as well.
3. Marinate the mince meat with some soya sauce, sugar and corn starch. 
4. Add the mince meat into the congee. 
5. Keep stirring at times and be careful when it starts boiling up.
6. Add a pinch of salt to give more the congee some flavour. 
7. Wash some lettuce and cut them up. Add it into the porridge before the congee starts to thicken.
8. Some rice cookers tell you when the porridge is done, but if it doesn't, when it thickens, taste it and adjust it to your preference by leaving it to cook longer or add more salt if you prefer a stronger taste.
