Steamed Chicken

This is the steamed chicken that I steam for myself. Steaming is relatively easier compared to other method of cooking. The ingredients are :
1/2 no. of chicken
thinly sliced ginger, carrot
cilantro ,
spring onion
light soya sauce
oyster sauce, sugar

Quantity all depend on individual taste and liking. I like to steam it just cooked or preferably 3/4 cook, so that the meat of the chicken is still tender and soft. Usually not more than 15 mins.

Breakfast for one on 9/12/10

The day was raining. I don't feel like going to the wet market to buy breakfast. Therefore I fry my own simple vegetable fried bee hoon. With some chye sim, beansprouts and 1 pc of beancurd i had it done. Never forget about garlic. One plate is easy to fry. Four and above are harder.

"Passionate" Vegetarian Char Hor Fun

Cooking like many other action/activities has to come with passion to get the best result. Food taste better when cooks with passion relatively. The prove of it is that children love their mothers cooking.

Since this is a very common dish almost everybody knows the ingredients for vegetarian Char Hor Fun, I just download the pictures. Char Hor Fun blends well with a cup of coffee.
