Do you use chicken/beef stock etc for cooking

[fightingmom]

LOLMum:

So many good ideas, will try out with my helper :rahrah:


We love garlic, the taste the smell :love:

I would love to have that delicious garlic soup with clam at Toa payoh again one day.....but the first n only time I had it, I fart like mad for a few days (very bad smell) n I have body odor for a few days too.

:rotflmao: I remember that experience of yours..kekekeke

Hi LOLMum,


You reminded me of myself when i just started out. I used all the ingredients my MIL use to cook soup. Till i realize, i put too much water and too little ingredients. Perhaps, you might want to give it a try.

I also use those dried stuff like dried scallops, ikan bilis, red dates, wolfberries, besides the chicken bones and it does help to enhance the taste of the soup. As for others, I'm still learning

:thankyou:

Unlike me, i am sure you have never been kicked out of kitchen by anyone

My friend, who started learning cooking a few years ago, took her friend's suggestion and always add abalone to her stock ... :moneyflies: :scared:
She thought must add ......die die must add....

LOLMum, I got no maid to order me around. :rotflmao:


My kids and fussy dh are my food critics. I've received lots of critics from Dh who are ardent fan of MIL's cooking. Imagine, it's tough but I like to think that I'm better at it now. My kids said my best cooking is \"Maggi Noodles!\" :stompfeet:

Oh yeah, like your friend, I tend to add dried abalone too :oops: , nicer...mah!

Anyway, all the best in your cooking rendevouz! :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:

Referring to the title of this thread,

I only used chicken stock cause did not know there's beef stock.
The brand is Knorr, I usually put one cube when I'm preparing noodle soup.
I throw in the cube together with garlic into the pot of water, when the water boiled, add in the meat balls & follow by noodles & eggs & last the veg. Sometimes, garnished it with coriander & chopped spring onions. It smells nice & taste good & looks good too!

[LOLMum]

There is veg n ikan bilis cube stock too .


I throw one in for steamboat...

Can your alex fong, don’t shaked head too much, I makes me laugh!

OK, back to topic, don’t like the ikan taste (have tried before), nowadays only going for chicken ones. Beef stock never heard of it. What brand is it & where to buy? Ok, I’ll open my eyes wide wide the next time at fairprice to look for it.

[LOLMum]

Kekekeke, Alex…Big head…


Anyway, I don’t use the beef stock but knorr has it.

Ask them to cook themselves if they complain. At least, I'm not so bad, my DH not fussy on food, only my boys. They like maggi mee too. Did let them experiment maggi mee (cooking by themselves with me looking) during the June holidays. They asked to do that in Sep holiday but I busy KSP. Maybe in Nov, will let them try again using the portable electric stove.

At least, next time when I'm not home, they won't die of hunger. :rotflmao:

Another thing I like to use for my soups, especially for steamboat, dried flatfish. We call it tik po in teochew.
