Okay la I also wanna share some recipes. Sorry I dont have rajin step by step pictures like vey99, only the last final product. I call this fast chicken under 30 minutes or less.

What you need:

3 pieces of Chicken Breast cut in strips

1 Lemon

½ teaspoon cumin

Lots and lots of grounded black pepper

Salt

McCormicks Mushroom Gravy Mix

1 onion, sliced

Half Green pepper, chopped

A handful of frozen mix vegetables

Step 1: Cut chicken into strips. Season with lemon juice, salt, cumin and go crazy with the black pepper like you’ve won a free supply for an entire year! If possible try to marinate it an hour before cooking, otherwise, cooking it immediately would do just the trick too.

Step 2: Fry the chicken until cooked and remove from pan.

Step 3: Mix McCormicks Gravy mix with 1 cup of hot water, mix it well until lumps disappear.

Step 4: Add oil in pan, fry sliced onion and green pepper till soft, add the gravy mix and throw in the frozen mix vegetable. Add cornstarch with added water if you want your gravy to be thicker.

Step 5: Arrange chicken on plate, then top up with gravy mix. Best served with a side of wedges and vegetables.

Your end product:

The chicken also very delicious you know

Nah it's about RM5 for a packet. Maybe less. Can add cornstarch to it to make the sauce thicker. I've seen those expensive ones too but never tried it.

Vey99, you are so right. My hubby always appreciates my cooking, he always has nice things to say about it and is quite grateful whenever I cook (which is only weekends). So needless to say that motivates me even more to look for new recipes I was always to scared to cook previously (afraid I'd mess it up) but now I actually look forward to cooking!!

Hahaha I dont mind but I"m not responsible if you get any cirit birit

Wah I didnt know you were married with a kid. Weekends are the best for home cooked meal.


Oh mai, hahaha, dunno how to react to that

Samantha your strawberry cheese squares looks SO yummy!

Wah vey99 your prawns look delicious and seems like it's easy to do too, will try it out one day!

Ok more sharing I made pasta with creamy sauce, ayam masak merah and char kuey teow over the past few days so just sharing some pictures. All recipes I got from Kuali.com Just only made some modifications to suit my taste bud.

Sowwwie, tot got auto resize like my other forum

Thank you thank you

Sure thing

Pasta with Creamy Sauce

300g spaghetti
100g chicken fillet, sliced
2 clove chopped garlic
1 bay leaf
3 tbsp butter
200ml whipping cream (1 box)
Parmesan Cheese
2 egg yolks
salt
tsp pepper



Method
Marinate chicken with some salt and pepper for 10-15 minutes. Cook spaghetti in a pot of water with half a teaspoon salt added. Cook until aldente. Drain and set aside.

Beat whipping cream, egg yolks and half a packet of parmesan cheese into a creamy mixture. Melt butter in a non-stick saucepan. Fry garlic and bay leaf until fragrant, then add chicken and stir-fry. Pour in the creamy mixture and add 2-3 slice cheese to make the batter thicker and creamier. If it’s too thick for your liking can add in a bit of milk. Add in some salt and pepper. Cook for a while over low heat. Serve immediately

Based from making other sauces without the egg yolk I highly doubt it will make a huge difference. Maybe what you can do is include half a packet of cheddar cheese / mozarella cheese in as well to the mixture to make it more creamier and thicker and balance it off with milk. Coz whipping cream alone with a bit of parmesan cheese won’t do the trick.

ooo roast chicken thigh? Dont' forget to include some rosemary, smells heavenly!

I will cook for you when you're allowed out of the house ok

Wow samantha - your pastry and chicken looks soooo yummy. I"m feeling hungry now and lunch time is 40 minutes away!!

C-Note - your pesto pasta looks so delicious - like the ones you find the restaurants

Belacan Fried Rice



Ingredients

2 cups cold cooked rice

3 eggs

2 red chillies

4 shallots

4 cloves garlic Cabbage Handful of chopped long beans Chicken fillet Seafood Tofu Half a carrot Handful of frozen peas

1 tbsp belacan paste (shrimp paste)

Seasoning (combine in a bowl):

2 tbsp oyster sauce

2 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tsp chicken stock granules

1 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp sugar

Method

In a wok, pour in eggs and fry until properly cooked. Dish out and put aside.

Add oil and saute the shallots, garlic and chillies. Fry until fragrant. Put in frozen peas and chicken and fry until color changes. Add in the chopped cabbage, carrots, seafood tofu and beans and fry for another 3 minutes. Add in the shrimp paste. Stir in the rice and mix well. Put in the seasoning and add in a bit of water to make the rice moist. Fry until everyhing is mixed. Add in salt, pepper and more shrimp paste to suit your taste.

Serve!

Fried rice the easiest, hehe. Can use a few sprinkle of water just to make it moist. You can skip it if you don't want. I'm using the shrimp paste so no need to do all that. I tried looking for granules but couldn't find it- may I know where you got it from??

Btw, your ice-cream looks delicious. Tabik you for having the patience and passion to make it, hehe. Looks very professional!

Haha you should try it then. Very easy to do. Only thing is the preparation time - need to chop and prepare the rest. Cooking time is quite fast actually.

This is the Indian Grilled Chicken I made recently. Very easy to do and tasty Served it with a side of rosstis and brocolli in cheese and herb sauce

Sure thing I made some modifications to the original recipe which I found from The Star:

2 pieces of chicken breast. Original recipe calls for deboned chicken leg.

Salt and generous amount of white pepper

1 tablespoon chili powder (or enough to coat the entire chicken)

1 whole chicken stock cube, crushed

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 tablespoon orange juice ( I used Twister)

Black pepper

Cajun seasoning

2 spoons butter

1 whole onion, chopped

5-6 curry leaves

2 tablespoon ghee

½ tablespoon cumin seeds

Marinate chicken breasts with salt, white pepper, chili powder, crushed chicken stock, orange juice, sesame oil, cajun seasoning and black pepper. Let it marinate for about 30 minutes or longer.

Turn on the oven, butter up the foil and leave the chicken in for 25 minutes or until brown on both sides.

Fry onions, curry leaves and cumin seeds in 2 tablespoons of ghee until aromatic and soft. Dish it out and arrange on top of meat

As for the rostis, I bought the frozen ones from TMC and pan-fried it.

As for the brocolli - I boiled it in hot water until soft then removed it. I used the Prego's Herb And Cheese sauce, heated up the sauce, added in more cheese and let the brocolli simmer with the sauce.

I let the foil open. There's a slight sauce from the onion/ghee/curry leave mixture but not that much.

No worries, let me know how it turned out

Post some of your cooking when you can. Mine also simple garnishing la.
