<![CDATA[How to cook nice meals]]>Well, with the great recipes from the pasta contest, I thought we would get even better recipes with a wider range of foods, so I created this topic. My definition of meals in this case can be anything, except desserts. Appetisers, Mains, Soups, Sides, anything original and yummy! :drool: So have fun!!!! 🙂


P.S. BTW, this is a little different from the pasta contest, in the sense that if you give two recipes, both will be shown, so don't worry about that. I'll put up all recipes that are in this post, even if it is from the same person.

REWARD: 1st place: 250 KSpoints
2nd place: 150 KSpoints
3rd place: 50 KSpoints
Consolation Prizes: 10 KSpoints for each person that has put in their recipes

micollh:
besides soup, anyone can share what other dish that you make from slow cooker? i saw some books, we can make stew etc.. will it be too dry ?thks to sgare

Yes, u can cook stews in slow cooker....nowadays, i have changed to using thermo pot....

Examples of stews, stew beef with radish or potatoes n carrots, stew chicken feet with mushrooms, stew fish maw with pork ribs, kou rou...many more...

i will fry the ingredients till frangance first before putting them into the pot....
Dont add too much water , otherwise the stew will become very runny....

Or use the slow cooker to cook desserts.....
such as white fungus with red dates and chinese pears , red beans with lian zi and black glutinous rice dessert...etc...

mummy so kiasu:
Happy Mama:

[quote=\"Augmum\"]happen to have mangosteen juice (fr marigold), so i added this in. from recipe, it stated that \"fruit juice of yr choice\" so long not too sour will do.


dun worry abt the recipe, papaya soup with chicken is very easy to boil.
juz fry few slices of ginger with the chicken till fragnant,
then aad-in water and papaya to boil with it.
add a pinch of salt to it at the end.

Wow so interesting to cook with mangosteen juice. :drool:

Ok, I have memorised the ingredients, but I find it strange that soup can be cooked with just chicken and papaya. Like that got taste meh? Interesting hor? 😉 Got to try to know.

Oh ya, how much papaya to put in?

I normally cooked the papaya & chicken soup with white fungus & red dates.[/quote]Hmm...so far, i havent try adding white fungus to papaya soup....

i usually cook white fungus with chicken and wolfberries soup, add abit of chinese almond to it....

Funz:
Thanks Augmum and Mrs Bongz.


A lot of the stuff were prepared the day before, even the fish curry, the gravy with the veg was cooked the night before and the fish added only the next morning.

Mrs Bongz, you can get the curry powder from NTUC, they do sell. I bought a pack not too long ago when I ran out of the one my mum made. Not too bad. I like to use it to season fish and chicken wings. You can introduce Jap curry to your kids first, these are usually very mild and kids tend to like them.
oh yes, when i need to prepare a big feast for my guests,
those food or gravy can be cooked overnite, i def do part of the cooking first,
not possible (at least for me) to prepare everything on the same day.

even with that, still a lot of work to be done.....
so most of the time, i tell hub to avoid inviting guests if possible....kekeke
