Stewed Beef with Vegetables

My daughter doesn't like carrots and potatoes. That's was before I made this dish. She began to love them after that. She ate the beef in this dish too. It helps that I use thinly sliced beef (Shabu Shabu beef), so it's easier for the kids to eat. You can use pork instead if you like.Ingredients:150g Shabu Shabu Beef , may be refer too as Steamboat beef too1 Medium Potato, skinned and chopped1 Medium Carrot, skinned and chopped1/2 Onion1/2 tablespoon Mirin1 tablespoon Chinese Cooking Wine1 1/2 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce1/2 tablespoon SugarSalt to taste150ml WaterHow to do it:Stir fry beef with a little oil till almost cooked.Remove and set aside.Add in the vegetables into the pot to stir fry.Add in the remaining seasoning except for salt.Bring to a boil before reducing heat into a simmer for 15 minutes.Return the beef back into the pot and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes.Add salt to taste.It is ready with the vegetable become soft right through the middle.Serve with rice...

Cornflakes Cookies
2009-07-04 03:54:00
I enrolled my son a a baking class during the June School Holidays. This is one of the cookies he baked. Well, this is not exactly what he did. It was in the shape of a teddy bear. It was rather nice but we still prefer the chocolate chip cookies. It's still our all time favourite.Anyway, because the kids wanted to do baking so instead of using the cookie cutter which is more work and more difficult, I get them to roll the dough into balls instead. I think it's more fun. They love to push the chocolate button in the center of the dough. Actually, I think they just love 'stealing' the chocolate to eat. haha ...Ingredients:125g Butter65g Castor Sugar1 teaspoon Vanilla EssenceA pinch of Salt125g All purpose flour (I use Top Flour)1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder25g Corn Flour1 tablespoon Milk Powder25g Frosties Cornflakes, crushed fineChocolate Button, optional (I use Mini M & Ms)How to do it:Cream butter, sugar, vanilla essence till white and fluffy.Add in all the flour and milk po...

Cheesy Chicken Fingers

Cheese again! My kids love cheese. And not to mention fried stuff. Who wouldn't? However, as it's heaty to take too much fried stuff, I only once a week. And it's usually comes with water chestnut drink.This dish is similar to this except I have cut down on the cheese. You can say that it's a cheaper but crunchier version. :)Ingredients:1 skinless chicken breast meat1 teaspoon salt1 cup Breadcrumbs or Panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese1 Egg, beaten1/3 cup FlourHow to do it:Cut the chicken meat into stripsMarinate with salt for 30 minutes.Dust the chicken with flour.Dip the chicken in the beaten egg.Coat well with Panko mixed with Parmesan Cheese.Deep fry till golden brown.Dish and drain away excess oil.Serve with or without your desire sauce.Note:You can sprinkle on some chilli powder or paprika after frying too.You can use Parmesan Cheese powder instead of the shredded type.http://feeds.feedburner.com/wokkingm um

Sprite with Plum Powder
2009-06-08 00:48:00
I'm not sure if you practice this but what I was young, my mother would let us drink Coke with salt when we are having a sore throat or if we are heaty. :P Now she still ask me to drink it when she knows I have soar throat. After that she would ask me not to scream so much at the kids to avoid having soar throat. LOLHonestly, I hates the taste of Coke with salt but sometimes it really works for the throat. Before I cut down on frizzy drinks, I changed from drinking coke with salt to Sprite or 7up with grind preserved sour plum instead. It taste so much better that the former.Sometimes, when I ran out of preserved sour plum, I use the powder form instead. It's not as good as the preserved fruit of course but in cases of emergency, the sour plum powder ??? works fine for me.If you are from Singapore, you will be familiar with sour plum powder. We dip fruits like guava, pear in it and eat it together. Especially good when the fruits are cold. Hence, I always have a packet in my fridg...

Cheesy Garlic Bread

My husband decided to go drinking with his pals today. *roll eyes* I get nagged for staying up late to blog but somebody can go drinking when that same somebody just worked past midnight yesterday and had to wake up early as usual to get to work this morning. *shrug* I'm not complaining. At least I get to blog in peace. LOL.Okay, for this recipe, which is one of my kid's favourite, is really easy to do. It's is actually this recipe plus cheese. But because cheese is added here, I cut down the garlic to 2 clove garlic with 1 tablespoon butter.For this particular one you see in the photo, 1 tablespoon of Mozzarella Cheese is added into the garlic spread. You can use any cheese you like. Sometimes I use Cheddar with Parmesan Cheese too. It's basically whatever leftover bits of Cheese I have. I have not tried Cream Cheese though.What you do is to mix the soften butter, garlic, cheese and the optional parsley and garlic powder together. Use that to spread on your bread before you toa...

Sandwich Kebab

It's the kids' school holiday. Yeah, the whole of June. I thought I'll have more time to do my stuff (like blogging) since I don't have to fetch my kids to school anymore. Boy was I wrong! I'm only saved on 4 trips but there are still the tuition classes and enrichment class. On top of that, with them at home most of the time, the house is always in a mess.To save the house, I bought them out. :P Either to window shopping (to enjoy the air-con), the newly open wet plus dry playground at a shopping centre near my place or to ride on their bikes. Unless, someone buys me a notebook, I won't be able to blog when I'm out. :P But I did however complete a few of my sewings. I hand sew my stuff so I don't need to carry the sewing machine (which I don't own one) with me in case you are wondering how I could sew outside.Since my husband is still at work (yes, it's past midnight now), I'm taking the time to make a quick post.

Roasted Dang Gui Chicken
2009-05-21 00:44:00
This is another of our favourite chicken dish. I use my Sharp Water Oven to do this. As usual, the chicken turned out succulent. And we love the aroma when we open the cover. :)Perviously, I did not add water, Gou Qi Zi ??? (Wolfberries) and Hong Zao ?? (Red Dates) when I roast the Chicken . There will still be some liquid at the end of the roasting. I call that Chicken Dang Gui ?? (Angelica Sinensis) Essence :P It's really thick.I wanted more sauce so we can dip the chicken meat with, so I add in some water when roasting the chicken. On top of that, I added some wolfberries and red dates to make the sauce sweeter. I also add in a few pieces of Chuan Gong ?? (Szechwan Lovage Rhizome) for the aroma.If you use to making Dang Gui Chicken Soup, try roasting it for a change.Ingredients:1 Chicken, cleaned500ml Hot water1/2 teaspoon Salt1 tablespoon Chinese Cooking Wine10g Dang Gui ??

Every time when I ran out of ideas on what to cook for dinner, I will make this pancake. Nobody will complain about having this as one of the dishes for dinner.In the past, I'll be hesitant to make this often as this requires shallow frying so it's not so healthy to eat it often. With an oven, it different. I use very little or no oil. But honestly, cooking this using the shallow frying way tasted better as it's moist.

My son has been snacking a lot in his tuition center. His excuse was he is hungry.

So now I have to prepare tea for him too. Sigh! I'm going to make the kitchen my bedroom one of these days.Anyway, this is a quick and simple tea. Bread with ham and cheese.I fitted the bread in the muffin cup. I use a 6 cup tray. Add some (Mozzarella) Cheese, some (shaved) Ham, some more Cheese and sprinkle on some Parmesan Cheese. I baked on 180C for 5 minutes. Remove the bread from the muffin cup.
