Grilled Chicken Drumstick

I cooked this for lunch yesterday and it was simply delicious and yet easy to prepare.


Ingredients:-

1) Few Chicken drumstick, trimmed off the fats and let the skin intact; Marinate with Teriyaki Sauce, Black Pepper and dash of brown sugar; Leave in the fridge for 3 hours;

2) wash and cut potato, broccoli, green capsicum, big onion and carrot into chunks;

3) Few button mushroom;


Methods:-

1) Extremely easy! Arrange everything on the tray, pour olive oil all over the meat and veggie.

2) Turn the temperature to 220'c for 40-50 minutes.

Note:- It is best to put in the veggie 20 minutes before the chicken is well cooked.

This grilled chicken drumstick serves together with boiled sweet corn create a very yummy and wholesome meal!

Grilled Chicken Drumstick

I tried my hands on grill chicken yesterday. It was a very delicious meal, even hubby likes the juicy chicken very much. The most satisfying part was at the end of our meal, my lil Missy asked me this " mum, did you buy this or cook this? " hahaha, it must be very yummy that she thought I bought it from the restaurant.

Indeed, this meal is very special because I didn't cook any pasta or rice. I boiled some sweet corn to go with the grilled chicken and broiled veggie. We were just too hungry until forgot to snap the picture of our wholesome meal.

A Quick and Easy to Prepare Lunch!

I was short of time the other day when the kids came back from school and they "shouted" for lunch. I think they must be really hungry that day because they normally take their lunch after their bath and rest.

In the nick of time, I came out with this dish. Udon with sausage and mushroom minced pork meat sauce and topped with ikan bilis (their favourite!)

Luckily, I made some mushroom minced meat sauce a few days before and keep some in the freezer for next meal to stir fry with Japanese tofu. Besides, there is always a bottle of dried anchovies ever ready in my kitchen.

So, I thawed the frozen sauce in microwave while cooking the sausage and the udon in the boiling water in a saucepan.

Once the sauce is thawed and warm, just mix it with the udon. Final touch was topping the dish with their favourite ikan bilis!

A Wholesome Dish

I had a 七星斑鱼 fillet still sitting in my freezer the other day. It was brought from Sandakan by my aunt who were here last month.

Instead of steam it the usual way (with fried garlic or teow chew style), i steamed it with Japanese tofu, salted vegetable, tomato and ginger.

Our Winter Solstice Dinner

I cooked up quite a few dishes for winter solstice dinner. This is the first time I cooked such a great dinner (from preparing, washing, cooking and cleaning aftermath) all by myself.

braised fish maw with sea cucumber, chicken, mushroom, scallop and clams

assam fish

stir fried mixed vegetable with Japanese tofu

braised pork with yam (a Hakka dish). My aunt bought it and deep freeze it to bring over to us all the way from Sandakan.

tong yuen in red bean soup

I also boiled a big pot of black chicken herbs soup that day but forgot to snap the photo. Anyway, everyone was so hungry that everything was finished that night and no leftover.

Stir Fried Fish Fillet with Ginger

I like to cook this because it is so easy to prepare and most important, the kids like it.

Please check out at my other blog for the recipe!

It's Dinner

We had these for dinner 2 nights ago. I was in the mood of cooking and thus had come out with 4 dishes. Hubby said it was a lot because the kids doesn't eat much at dinner and both of us have to stuff everything down into our stomach.



assam fish







stir fried squids in sauce





stir fried veggie

steam tofu with dried shrimp. The veggie and tofu dish were cooked mainly for the kids as they can't eat assam and squids.

Not forgetting our dessert


I will post the recipes in my other blog.

Simple Lunch

I cooked something different and wanted to tried new dishes on them the other day. We had plain porridge for lunch with stir fried french bean and fish fillet.

stir fried french bean with eggs.

stir fried fish fillet with fermented sweet bean paste and garlic. (I just put in a tiny bits of fermented bean paste as taste)

Verdict; Both of them like it so much. Sometimes it is good to serve plain porridge with other side dishes instead of put everything into the pot and cook together.

Simple Lunch

I lost of ideas for lunch the other day or maybe mommy is still yet recovered from the tiredness from traveling (excuses, excuses) and just prepare a very simple lunch for the 3 of us.

In fact, I have been taking long afternoon nap this few days ever since I am back from Brunei. Hubby said that it was due to lack of sleep during the weekend as I stayed up quite late till 2am+ chit-chatting with my brother.

Here's what we had on Tuesday afternoon.



Toast brown bread with cheese and ham. Serve with strawberries and yakult.

Both yakult and strawberries were bought at Supa Save, Brunei. These two items are the "must-have" in my shopping list whenever I go Brunei.

1) Marinate prawns with corn starch, light soy sauce and sesame oil.

2) Put broccoli in boiling water and let it cooked for few minutes. Drain and keep it aside.

3) Heat up oil, put in chopped garlic, saute until fragrant. Add in marinated prawns and stir fried for a few minutes then add in tomato. Continue to stir fry.

4) put in the broccoli and stir fry for a while before adding the Japanese tofu. Put in water and let all ingredients simmers for a few minutes before add in some oyster sauce.

5) Dish up and serve. Easy, right?
