Yum! Yum!

:)

Yes it was yummy though the rice was a tad wet. This was a quick dinner I whipped up one evening when I got home a little earlier from work. Just 15 minutes to prepare and it was ready in about half an hour.

I marinated about 1/4 chicken with oyster sauce, soy sauce, pepper and some sesame oil and left it for a while. I’d have marinated it for longer, but did not have the time. Then I washed the rice and measured out the water. I was told later that chicken will add water which was why my rice turned out wet. So, you have to cut down on the water a tad. I used a rice cooker.

I chopped up about 4 cloves of garlic (I’d add ginger and shallots if I had any) and fried them in some butter until brown and fragrant. Then I added the butter and garlic mix into the rice, put the chicken pieces on top and put it to cook in the rice cooker. Wait for it to be cooked and ta-da!

Pictures 035 The vegetables were just scalded in hot boiling water. Then I fried up some garlic and some oyster sauce with some water added to dilute the sauce a little. When ready, I poured it over the vegetables.

I was tucking into a hearty hot homecooked meal in under an hour. Beats trying to figure out what to eat outside and paying a bomb for it!

Cheesey: *jumps up and down excitedly* I know! I know! um… cheese?! hehe… Its really easy and fast. Once you chuck it in the rice cooker you can go shower and all and then do the vege. I had my rice with maggi garlic chilli sauce.

Pinkelle: :P

LB: Heh… As Tine says – easy to cook nice to eat and with Tiramisu even better!

Pablo: Yeah but my recipes are all still revolving around various types of rice only…

Tummy: I’ll try to indulge when I remember to take a pic before I eat :) The butter isn’t healthy but I guess you can just omit that

Tine: yes yes! :D Especially after a long hard day at work.
