Coconut Lime Chicken Stir Fry

YES. Another stir fry! HAHA. Cos that's easy to cook for meal prep Sundays! Also I was clearing out the larder and fridge, checking for expired items, throwing out food we won't be eating and since it's post-Raya, I have one larder tray filled with only empty containers. Haha.

This round's stir fry aim is to finish up the limes in the fridge, and I came across this Thai concoction of sorts, which sounds yummy and could gel well with pasta. I didn't follow exactly the recipe so I shan't link it, so here's my take.

Coconut Lime Chicken Stir Fry

Chicken cubes (again, never measure. 400g?)
1 small onion, sliced
3 red chilis, sliced
1 cili padi, sliced
1/2 inch ginger + 4 cloves garlic, pound
100ml coconut milk
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp oyster sauce

Fry the onion and chilis in oil until onions are golden. Add in the pound garlic and ginger and fry. Add the chicken, then oyster sauce, coconut milk and honey and fry until chicken is cooked. You can add a bit of water if you want some sauce, I did. Tastes a bit like green curry chicken!

If I had more ingredients, I'd put lemongrass, lime leaves and fish sauce. Also should get vegetables in my meal preps. Husband didn't try this one though, so can't tell if it's Husband-approved or not.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it

Rice Cooker Chicken Mushroom Claypot

All in one pot cooking, what's not to love! Got this off tiktok, but I figured the chicken and mushroom in the recipe isn't enough. Wasn't really one pot cooking cos I cooked half of the chicken on a pan then added it later after the rice cooker was done. Rice Cooker Claypot Chicken marinade: 600g boneless thigh, cut into cubes 6 garlic, pound 2 inch ginger, pound 6 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp oyster sauce 4 tbsp sweet soy sauce Rice: Half of the chicken marinade above 2 1/2 cups rice 2 1/2 cups water 3 tbsp sesame oil 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 1/2 chicken cube (maybe 2 also can) 300g shitake mushrooms Coriander leaves, cut Spring onions, cut Marinate the chicken and leave it for about 30 min. Wash the rice. Add half the chicken marinade and all other ingredients into the rice cooker and mix well Cook using rice cooker. I cooked the remaining chicken over the stove and added the chicken, juices and all, into the rice cooker when it was just about done and needed a few minutes to set. M
