*Still no decent photo to be added here. =)

This meal is WITHOUT mushrooms, I think you might have been thinking, I am a big fan of mushrooms ?! haha...

Ingredients:
1 bag of NTUC watercrest vegetable
1 chicken drumstick and breastmeat
Few pieces of garlics
Few pieces of dry chinese jujube (红枣) <--- the word jujube i got it translated on Google Translate.
1 pack of NTUC dry beancurd (豆干)
Small quantity of small white anchovies (银鱼)
1 tablespoon of Sha Cha sauce

How to cook:
  • Clean and cut the watercrest vegetable
  • Cut the chicken meat
  • Cut the jujube
  • Clean and smash the garlics
  • Put all the ingredients into a bowl and add water to cover the ingredients
  • Then put it into the base of the rice cooker and put a pair of chopstick on top
  • Open the bean curd pack and place on a plate, add the white anchovies on top of the bean curd
  • Put the plate on top of the soup bowl with the chopstick supporting it
  • Switch on the rice cooker and wait for it to be cooked. Done!
  • Once it is cooked, don't forget to add the Sha Cha sauce or soya sauce to the bean curd according to your taste! =)
Now sit back and wait for it to cook. I hope you had enjoyed by quick homecook meal sharing so far.

How homecook interest started...

"Where shall we go for dinner?"
"Anywhere, you suggest..., I'm fine."
"Ok.Shall we go to xxxxx for dinner?"
"Again?"
"Then you suggest."
"Hmmm... don't know. Don't ask me..."
"Kk... then we go to xxxxxx for dinner?"
"I tot we just went there last week?"


*The cycle happens on and on and on and on... every week.

That's how the homecook journey began. =)

I am not a professional and 5 stars chef like Sam Leong from Humble House, but humble enough to share what I learnt from the after work home cooking.

The main idea is to cook after work within 1 hour, have simple and nice homecook food. Anything more than 1 hour of cooking is a no no.

Currently I am learning to cook a quick meal from a cook book bought from Taipei. It is a cook book with 400 recipes to cook a quick meal using rice cooker.
I will not publish all of it here but I will share my personal experience in cooking the quick meal.

The main principle of the cooking here is less oil (I can say, almost zero) and no frying. We eat to live and not live to eat. It is our responsibilities to take good care of our body and what we eat will make us to be what we are today.
