Dark Soy Sauce Chicken ???
2011-11-09 04:04:00
This is one of my childhood dish that I often eat at my aunt's place.  Sadly, it doesn't come close to the taste that I can recall but still acceptable. Plus point for this dish is it's fast and easy to cook. I'm using mid joint wings for this dish. You can use drumsticks chopped into smaller pieces, which is what my aunt used to do. Ingredients: 6 Mid Joint Wings or 2 Drumstick chopped into 3 pcs each 1 Large Onion, chopped into chunks 1 Red Chilli, de-seed and sliced into pieces Oil for frying Marinade: 1/2 teaspoon Salt 1/2 teaspoon Sesame Seed Oil 1 1/2 tablespoon Corn Flour Seasonings: 1/2 tablespoon Oyster Sauce 2 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce 1 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce (I use Tiger Premium Dark Soy Sauce) 1 tablespoon Sugar 200ml Water How to do it: Marinate chicken pieces with marinade for half an hour. Deep fry chicken till golden brown. Drain and set aside. Heat wok with a tablespoon of oil. Fry onion and chilli till fragrant. Add in the chicken and seas...

Baked Cod Teriyaki ??????
2011-11-02 17:00:00
Here's another easy and simple. Before I have an oven I use to make this dish using the regular pan. The ingredients are the same. Only difference is the cooking method. The latter method requires more steps and monitoring. The flavour is more intense too. Now with an oven, I prefer the easier and the less hassle way to do it. If you want an even easier way, use instant teriyaki sauce which can be easily found in supermarkets. I prefer to make my own marinade as it allows me to control the flavours. Whichever way you like, this is one easy dish you have to try. Ingredients: 1 piece of Cod or Salmon Marinade: 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar or regular fine sugar 1 tablespoon Mirin 1 tablespoon Wine 2 tablespoon Soy Sauce How to do it: Mix the marinade. Place cod in a ziploc bag and pour in the marinade. Squeeze the air out and seal the bag. Leave cod to marinate in the fridge for at least 1/2 an hour. Lay baking tray with baking paper (I use Glad Baking Paper) Place the cod wi...

Baked Mussels in Tomato Sauce with Cheese ????????????
2011-11-01 09:53:00
I was trying to clear whatever I have in the fridge and in my store before we move house to make thing easier. This was a combination of (frozen) mussels, a can of tomato base pasta sauce and mozzarella cheese which was exactly what I had and wanted to clear. It's an easy dish. Almost an instant dish. You could have it with pasta but I had it with bread, a la chilli crab. :P Ingredients: 10 Frozen Mussels 2/3 - 1 can Campbell's Prego Tomato Base Pasta Sauce 1 handful Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Salt and Ground Black Pepper to taste Sprinkle of Dried Parsley (optional) How to do it: Steam mussels for 2 minutes. Drain and set in an oven proof dish. Pour Pasta sauce over. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Give it a toss. Top with Mozzarella Cheese. Bake at 190C for 10 minutes or till sauce bubbles and cheese has melted. Sprinkle on some Parmesan Cheese if you like and serve immediately with pasta or bread. http://feeds.feedburner.com/wokkingmum

I'm back, finally! If you are wondering what's with the long absence, we have been busy looking for a new place! Renovation was hell for us as we did not engage an ID or a main contractor. We did all the planning, designing, sourcing, etc, on our own. Hence, we have different contractors for different jobs and we had to oversee and co-ordinate the whole renovation works ourselves. Thank God it's all over now and we have settled in our new home, for just a month. Hopefully, blogging will be more regular from now, that is, after I find time figuring out all the new changes in Blogger.  Looks like Blogger has undergone a lot of changes too while I was gone. Anyway, all the photos of my posts from 2006 to 2007 have gone missing and I'm not getting any help from Blogger on how to get them back. I guess I have no choice but to upload them again. It's not going to be an easy job cos there are more than 300 photos of them. I have to download them from my backup at another site, ...

Glutinous Stuffed Squid ???
2011-06-22 14:36:00
I had this years ago and have never come across it again. I totally miss it, hence I'm trying my luck to replicate it. This is my second attempt on this dish. It's definitely much better my first attempt. ;) If you would like try it out, here's how I did it. I soaked about 4 to 5 tablespoon of glutinous rice, which is enough for 2 squids, in water BUT seasoned with a tablespoon of 1/2 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1/4 tablespoon each of sugar and mirin. I soaked the rice for 3 hours. Meanwhile, remove the innards of the squids. When the rice is done soaking, stuff the rice in the squid till 3/4 full. Use a toothpick or skewer to seal the opening. However, be careful not to tear the squid because it will be harder to secure it again and not having it 'explode' while cooking. Place the stuffed squids in a pot with enough water covering it. Add in 2 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Mirin, and a 1 tablespoon of sugar. Bring it to a gentle boil then reduce to a simmer...

Steamed Scallops with Garlic
2011-06-21 16:30:00
It had been an extremely busy month for me. My son fractured his arm end last month and needed help on almost everything. Then my daughter fell sick. All happened while my husband was on his business trip. We sold our place and was busy hunting for a new place this month too. We almost gave up and wanted to rent a place instead. Thank goodness everything went well in the end; well almost everything. Now we are busy packing, while planning the interior design of our new place on our own. I will be back to my normal schedule next week when school reopens and hopefully I'll have a breather then before the renovation work starts. Before my life becomes chaotic again, here's a quick post on what I did today. A very quick and easy dish that I bet you will enjoy. Ingridents: 6 - 8 Scallops (I use frozen ones) 1-2 tablespoon Roasted or Fried Garlic 30g Vermicelli, soaked to soften 1/4 teaspoon Salt A pinch of Sugar A dash of Ground Black Pepper A drizzle of Sesame Seed Oil ...

Cheesy Mushroom Baked Rice ??????
2011-05-01 14:42:00
I had a sudden craving for baked rice and since I had all the ingredients needed, I decided to make it for my dinner. I don't usually have left over rice but I had a bowl of it as my husband decided to have instant noodle instead of home cooked dinner the night before. Grrrr .... Anyway, I didn't turn off my rice cooker hence my bowl of rice was still rather 'fresh'. I don't really like over night rice as it's a bit on the dry side and not as fluffy. You can use freshly cooked rice or over night rice, which ever you prefer. Here's my recipe for the baked rice. ;) Ingredients: 1 bowl Cooked Rice 2 strip Streaky Bacon, cut into bits 6 Fresh Button Mushroom , sliced 2/3 can Campbell's Prego Carbonara Mushroom Pasta Sauce 1 1/2 tablespoon each Romano, Mozzarella & Parmesan Cheese Extra Romano & Parmesan Cheese for toppings 1/4 Red Capsicum, diced 1 clove Garlic, minced (optional) 1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil How to do it: Place cooked rice in oven proof dish.

Rice Krispies Easter Eggs ?????
2011-04-20 15:33:00
I happened to chance upon this really cute recipe and I thought I'll try it with my daughter since Easter is just around the corner. Honestly, I find it harder than it looks and a lot messier. My daughter gave up doing it half way doing it and left me to finish it. I only did 5 eggs and use the rest to do something easier and less messy. :P I didn't have plastic egg that is required for this so I use Kinder Surprise Egg instead. It works fine too. Take note that the mixture will hardens when it's cooled, so you got to work fast! If you want to do this over the weekend, here's the recipe, which I've copied over for easy reference. Ingredients: 3 tablespoons Butter or margarine 10 oz (about 40) Regular Marshmallows 1 box (130g) Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® cereal M&M's® Chocolate Candies, Chocolate Bits, etc for decorations How to do it: Clean, then coat inside of plastic eggs with cooking spray or just spread regular cooking oil on it.

Cream Crackers Meatballs ?????
2011-04-19 18:07:00
Not too long ago, I shared how I used Rice Krispies to coat meatballs instead of the usual breadcrumbs.  Using the same ingredients, I used a pack of cream crackers instead, which came with a goodie bag I received. I used to eat cream crackers with milo when I was young but the kids now, with a wide range of crackers, won't even take a second look at the plain old cream crackers. However, the humble cream cracker can have other uses too. I crashed a few pieces of the crackers in a zic-loc bag using a rolling pin and rolled the meatballs on it before deep frying them till they turned golden brown. The meatballs coated with crushed cream crackers were not as crispy as the ones with rice krispies but I love the smell of the cream crackers meatballs and it's much cheaper too. ;)http://feeds.feedburner.com/wokkingmum

Corn & Radish Soup ??????
2011-04-19 11:15:00
This soup is especially good for those wants to try radish but dislike the smell and the slight bitter taste (like my husband :P). Adding a cob of corn help sweeten the soup and the smell of radish will not be as strong at the same time. Ingredients: 1 Corn , cut into sections 2 Carrot, cut into chunks 1 Radish, cut into chunks 8 Red Dates a handful of Wolfberries 300g Pork Ribs 1.8 litre Wter Salt to taste How to do it: Blanched pork ribs. Add all ingredients except wolfberries in pot. Bring it to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Continue to simmer for 2 hours. Add wolfberries during last 1/2 hour of cooking. Add salt to taste.

Pork Fillet with Salted Egg Yolk ??????
2011-04-16 10:50:00
One of our all time favourites which I will cooked when we are not so bothered by the cholesterol level contributed by the salted egg yolks. In fact, sometimes, I'll use 3 yolks instead of 2, like in this case. Hence, I leave the egg yolks in bigger pieces so we are able to nibble on it. However, 2 egg yolks are sufficient. You'll notice that I'm using pork loin, which is really tender, instead of the usual prawns for this dish. It's as good! Ingredients: 250g Pork Loin 2-3 Salted Egg Yolk 1 stem Curry Leaves, discard stem 1 Red Chilli, cut 1 tablespoon Butter 2 tablespoon Evaporated Milk 1/3 teaspoon Salt 1/2 teaspoon Sugar Marinade: 1/2 tablespoon Oyster Sauce 1/2 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce 1/2 teaspoon Sugar 1/2 teaspoon Sesame Seed Oil 4 tablespoon Corn Flour 1 Egg a dash of pepper How to do it: Cut meat into bite size.

Curried Cauliflower ?????
2011-04-15 14:18:00
This is a variation of my roasted cauliflower. I used the same ingredients but added 1/5 teaspoon of curry powder for the spiciness and the lovely colour. I left out the Parmesan cheese here. Just toss the cauliflower with curry powder, olive oil and salt before you roast it in the oven. The rest of the instructions are basically the same as roasted cauliflower. If you are bored with the usual cauliflower dish, try this out for a change.http://feeds.feedburner.com/wokkin gmum

Roasted Cauliflower ????
2011-04-15 13:39:00
It's one of the days that I do not wish to cook but have to. Hence, all cooking is done using the oven, less work, less washing and cleaning. This is  a super easy to 'cook' dish and I simply love the aroma of baked cauliflower. Ingredients: 220g Cauliflower , cut into florets 1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil 1/4 teaspoon Salt or to taste Sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese (optional) How to do it: Toss florets in oil and salt. Place in an oven proof dish and cover with foil. Bake at 220C for 15 minutes. Remove foil and give the florets a toss. Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese and return to bake uncovered for another 5 to 7 minutes till you get the little brown bits on the top. Serve. PS.

Coriander & Ham Soup ?????
2011-04-13 13:46:00
This is the results of a chat with a friend over how we can replace the usual pork ribs with ham. :P I love the coriander stem for the crunch and fragrance but sometimes I have so much of the leaves left that I didn't know what to do with it. So that's definitely going it to the soup.:P  My friend suggested adding onions to make it sweet. It's a trial and error soup that turned out alright for me and the best part of it is, it only takes 20 minutes to prepare and cook! You'll enjoy this if you like coriander. Ingredients: (1 serving) 1/3 tablespoon Butter 1 small Onion, diced 2 clove Garlic, chopped 4-5 slices or 100g Ham, chopped 1 big handful of Coriander Leaves, chopped 250ml Chicken Broth How to do it: Melt butter in pot.

Radish and Ribs Stew ?????

I really love radish though there isn't anyone at home sharing the same sentiments. The only thing they will take with radish in it is probably soup. I just need a bowl of rice, maybe two to goes with this stew. I love how the radish in the stew here absorbed all the flavours. It's soft and flavourful and the bone from the ribs just slip off from the meat. And don't forget the sauce! Drizzle it over piping hot rice! Yum! Ingredients: 300g Pork Ribs 1 Carrot, skinned & cut into chunks (about 150g) 1 Radish, skinned & cut into chunks (about 220g) 1 small Onion, cut into chunks 3 clove Garlic, smashed & chopped 300ml Water Salt to taste Seasonings: 2 tablespoon Chinese Cooking Wine 2 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce 1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar or regular Sugar How to do it: Blanch ribs and set aside.

Ingredients: A piece of Cod 2 - 3 tbsp chopped Garlic a pinch of Salt and a dash of Pepper Seasonings: 1/2 tsp Salt 1/2 tsp Sugar 1/2 tsp Chicken Powder or Salt to taste How to do it: Wash and pat dry cod.

Grilled Salmon with Lime Butter ??????????
2011-03-01 17:00:00
Some of you might know that I make dinner twice a day. The first dinner is for the kids and me and the second dinner is for my husband. He has long working hours and usually reached home after eight, sometimes after nine! I didn't like the idea of serving cold food or reheated food (personally I wouldn't like having it either), I rather cook again. However, it's usually something really fast and easy to cook dishes, like what you see here. The salmon is paired with blanched broccoli here. I prepared the lime butter ahead and I blanched the broccoli the same time I grilled the salmon. It only took me less than 10 minutes to get the dish done. 10 minutes for a hot dinner. How's that? Ingredients: 1 piece Salmon A pinch of Salt and a dash of Ground Black Pepper Zest of 1 Green Lime (optional) Lime Butter: 5 clover Garlic, chopped Juice of 1/2 Green Lime 1/4 tsp Black Ground Pepper or to taste 30g butter, softened Salt to taste How to do it: Prepare the Lime...

What you see here is just simple meat balls except I used something else for the coating. It made the meat balls extra crispy. It's Rice Krispies! Yes, those you have as breakfast cereals. Someone gave me a box for my kids but they didn't like it as it's tasted 'blah'. They didn't like it with milk either as it turned soggy very fast. I didn't want to waste it and so it went to my kitchen experiments. ;P  And it's really very easy to do too! What I used here for the meat balls were minced pork...

Not too long ago, I went to the supermarket to get Hoisin Sauce but grab the Plum Sauce instead. I only realised my mistake when I got home.

Cordyceps Militaris Chicken Soup

I had Cordyceps Sinensis ???? regularly when I was pregnant with my first child. And of course I want to do the same when I'm pregnant with my second child. However the price for Cordyceps Sinensis ???? has rose to a extorted price. Then I was introduced to Cordyceps Militaris ???. It has similar medicinal value to Cordyceps Sinensis ???? though not of comparable strength but the price of Cordyceps Militaris ??? is also only a small fraction of the Cordyceps Sinensis too. Logically, it is more effective to take  Cordyceps Militaris ??? regularly then to take Cordyceps Sinensis ???? once a while. We have since been having Cordyceps Militaris ??? for the pass 6 years.

Yes, the pack of mussels cost only .... $1! It's small though but I prefer this than the larger one. I used the Garlic Butter Spread I had in the fridge to make this. If you don't have any, you can substitute it with 4 gloves of grated garlic and 1 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder to 1 1/2 tablespoon of softened butter.

This is the 6th and last of my round 2 on experiments for wings. I tweaked my recipe for Tangy Wings , to add a little sweetness to this version.  It is similar to the Thai Tangy Wings, except without the spiciness and the sweetness of honey. The sweetness here is from the sugar and there's a light aroma of the lemon. This is one of my favourites and there's no stopping at one for me.

Assam Prawns 亚�虾

Last week, my sister posted some sort of a riddle for her friend on Facebook and the answer to that riddle was my father's Chilled Cockles! That made me missed my parents' cooking.  My parents don't cook that much. Most of which, according to them were the results of "just anyhow cook", and that became a difficulty to replica their recipes. Try as I might, I seldom come close to the original. Not even my father's simple Chilled Cockles. :( One of the dishes my mother did that I loved so much was Assam Sotong (squid). She used small baby sotong, which is hard to come by now, and it was with lots of onion and sauce (to go with the rice). Yum! I'm adapting my mother's recipe for Assam Sotong to make Assam Prawn instead. Not exactly the same as mother's Assam Sotong but I'm sure she will be glad it was her Assam Sotong that gave results to this dish.

This is the second flavour of round 2 of my wings experiments, which happened to be my favourite of the three. Inspired by the sweet Thai Chili sauce, which is one of the few chili sauce I can handle, this goes very well with the tangy lime juice I have added to the wings. This is great if you want a Asian flavoured wings but not the usual sweet based one for bbq.
