Tried out stir fried udon today for bam bam. We went to Bar B Q Plaza last weekend for dinner. She enjoyed the udon so much. So I thought let's see if she will like this.

Verdict is she likes the carrot more than the udon :s Well, as long as she eats, omitofo I'm happy d.

Ingredients:
Carrot, sliced
Onion, chopped
Red pepper, chopped
Green pepper, chopped
2 garlics, minced
1/2 packet frozen udon
1 egg

Seasonings:
1 tsp Oyster sauce
1/4 tsp Light soy sauce
White pepper

Method:
1. Beat egg slightly and fried under low heat. Keep aside.
2. Put some hot water into udon and keep aside.
3. Heat up some olive oil, stir fry carrot until slightly soften.
4. Add in other vegetables and stir fry until fragrant.
5. Add seasonings. Mix together.
6. Drain udon from hot water. Add into the pan and mix with other ingredients. Cook until sauce is thicken.
7. Slice fried egg thinly.
8. Garnish fried udon with sliced egg.

Nothing is easier than this. Grab a pot and throw everything in. Literally, that's all it takes for a pot of good soup. All it needs is time.

Ingredients:
1 old cucumber, cut into big slices
Handful of wolfberries
Handful of red dates (I removed the seeds)
Handful of dried oyster
1 chicken carcass (I added some chicken legs)
1.5-2 litre water (Just rough estimation, I fill my pot to 1/2 full)


Method:
1. Parboil Chicken carcass to remove excess oil.
2. Put all ingredients into a pot, boil for a minimum of 1 1/2 hours.
3. Season with a pinch of salt if preferred.

See, now the meals look complete :)

Flavoured rice is my girl's favourite. She finished 2 portions of this when I first cooked this rice for her. It's a very simple and quick rice dish which I modified from claypot chicken rice. The taste is very close except that I didn't use any Chinese sausage and salted fish. For adult's version, can totally add those and voila, rice cooker claypot chicken rice in 20 mins ;)

This is a very healthy and hearty rice dish for kids because no oil was added. Only a tiny bit of sesame oil for the chicken, you can omit that if want to go for zero oil. Great for busy mommies because all this is cooked in the rice pot within 20 mins or lesser (for my rice cooker).

Here is the super easy ingredients.

Ingredients:

1 chicken whole leg, deboned and cut into small chunks

1/2 cup rice (I use small shot glass and it's about 4 glasses) 

Few slices of ginger

2 white mushroom, sliced

Scallion, chopped

Chicken Marinade:

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp light soy sauce

1/2 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp dark soy sauce

1 tsp ginger juice

Dash of white pepper

Method:

1. Marinade chicken and keep aside.

2. Cook rice with few slices of ginger with rice cooker until most of the water is absorbed. Mine took about 15 mins or lesser. 

3. Add in marinated chicken and white mushroom to the rice. Cover and let it finish cooking.

4. Once it is cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and check for seasonings. Add light soy sauce or dark soy sauce if required. Press On and let it cooked another few seconds. 

5. Serve rice with a sprinkle of chopped scallion.

Note:

1. The chicken whole leg that I used was quite small. If the chicken whole leg that you bought is bigger, just use half of it.

2. Try not to use chicken breast because I tried, it was very dry. Chicken whole leg or chicken thigh will give a better texture.

3. Add slightly lesser water than it should be because there is extra liquid in the chicken marinade which will be added later.

4. If you want to cook smaller portion, cut down on the chicken marinade and under season it a little. Can always add on the seasonings when the rice is cooked.

Today's lunch for the mini queen. This macaroni recipe (basically no recipe) is very versatile and suka hati lol I love this macaroni coz my girl gets to eat all the vegetables and not picking them out. The key is to chop them into super tiny pieces hehe..

You can use any vegetables you have or meat. I made this with onion + cauliflower + broccoli, chicken + onion + mushroom, all taste great. Definitely no need to follow the recipe but I will just post it as a reference.

Ingredients:
Few florets of broccoli
1/2 Leek
1/2 to 1/4 yellow onion (depends on size)
1/4 cup Grated cheddar cheese
1 cup Milk (more or less)
1 tsp plain flour
Salt and black pepper to taste
Few tbsp of butter
1/4 cup macaroni

Method:
1. Cook macaroni as per package instruction. Drain.
2. Chopped vegetables into tiny tiny pieces.
3. Heat up butter in a pan.
4. Add in onion and toss until fragrant.
5. Add in all vegetables and toss until cooked. Season with salt and pepper (can omit salt).
6. Sprinkle flour over and cook for a minute. Lower the heat.
6. Pour in milk and cook until slightly thicken.
7. Add in grated cheddar cheese. Mix together.
8. Add in macaroni and toss together.
9. Serve.

Note:
1. It's ok to put more milk coz once the cheese and macaroni are added, it will dry up.
2. If add vegetable like carrot which requires longer time to cook, best to boil the carrot first.
