For deep fried food lovers!

Grate root ginger. Squeeze out the juice.
Marinate chicken thighs/drumsticks with soya sauce(Kikkoman recommended), sake and ginger juice. Leave it for 30 min.
Coat it generously with corn flour and deep fry!

Hi,

Root ginger is actual name... haha yah ordinary ginger will do...Alternatively, if you don't want to use cornflour, you can dip the chicken into egg white first, then coat it with breadcrumbs. Leave it for 30 min in order for the breadcrumbs to stick to the chicken, then deep fry. You can rename it as \"Mummy's Brand Chicken Dippers\" :lol:

Hey u're most welcome!

I can understand why coz sometimes I'm too overwhelmed & distracted by too many words/icons/pictures on some websites.

I love cooking, not good at it though haha


I like herbal soup and normally, I will get those ready herbal soup mix packets (mild ones which are not too heaty or \"cooling\" and suitable for children) from chinese medical halls and boil it with lean pork/chicken and corns for my child.

I want to learn baking and am thinking of getting a rice cooker with baking function. Can anyone share if this is useful? Which brands are good? Thanks!

Have been cooking stew for my family + herbal soup + one unhealthy food allowed.


Our favourites receipes:
DH's favourite - pumpkin stew
DS's favourite - vege stew (celery, potato, carrot, minced meat)
My favourite - shredded carrot/fish cake stew
Tenant's favourite - potato/luncheon stew
Maid's favourite - haven't ask her yet (better dun spoil her first)

Stews are very easy to cook, just add water and let the main ingredients soften.

Initially started with quarter a (medium-sized) pumpkin, realised not enuff. Then went for half a pumpkin, children and DH still snatch, so now I'm cooking one full pumpkin for dinner, plus my tenant and 1 maid for dinner for every pumpkin stew that I make.

Ingredients:
Pumpkin
Minced Meat - usually bought those frozen ones - pre-packed from NTUC
Silver fish - pre-fried (can be stored in containers for long periods of time)

Preparation:
Cut pumpkin into bite sizes :nunchuk:
Marinate the minced meat with lots of yummy sesame oil + soy sauce or pepper (marinate for at least 1 hour)

Method:
- Oil onto frying pan, once it's hot, put pumpkin in, stir fry a little
- Pour water in, just enough for the pumpkin can be partially submerged in the water
- While the water is boiling, pour minced meat in and spread it across so that you get nice bits and pieces of minced meat
- Allow it to simmer with occasional stiring to ensure pumpkins are evenly softened
- Water will gradually turn orange and thicken. After around 10-20 mins (I think), pumpkin will look very soft. No other seasoning required.
- Just few minutes before it's ready, can sprinkle a generous amount of fried silver fish onto stew to add a little crunch to it.

A healthy vegetable dish for the family. Plus very little preparation time required. Just that need to keep looking out for the fire and water so that the stew will not dry out.
