Grilled Chicken using HCP

Initially, bought some of these ingredients to cook for hubby on his birthday. Unfortunately, grandma passed away on that day so never celebrate his birthday. Decided to cook these tonight.

1) Marinate the potato with olive oil, salt and pepper.

2) Marinate the chicken with soya sauce, pepper and sesame oil.

3) Boil some vegetables and set aside. I use cauliflowers, brocolli and baby carrots. Can add asparagus or french beans accordingly to your preference. 

4) Fry some fries and set aside

5) Grill the potato and chicken using HCP

6) I like mushroom chicken. Cook the mushroom sauce using the McCormick Seasoning Mix. This seasoning mix is good enough for 2 portions. So mushroom chicken for myself and the helper. I like crinkle fries more than roasted potato.

Grill chicken in mushroom sauce and sausage with fries.

7) Hubby doesn't like mushroom so I cooked him the sauce using the Masterfoods Mustard, Honey and Herb Marinate.

5) Cabbage

6) Binjals

Dinner tonight

Hubby's aunt bought sotong today so I thought may as well cook it using the HCP. Hubby doesn't take sotong so I added prawns to make seafood sambal.

Saw this post https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10200506651443702&set=gm.514643275258299&type=1&theater and feel like trying this since I have cheese leftover in the fridge. I used the potato from the ABC soup that my helper cooked. hehe.. But I do not have bread crumbs at home so I made do with crackers instead.

Prawn "swimming" in chilli crab sauce

Hubby is away for a week and back from Reservist today. So make him my guinea pig by doing a different dish. First time making this combi. keke..

1) Deep fried the prawns
2) Baked the popiah skin in muffin trays to create the "bowl"
3) Cook the chilli crab sauce.
4) Scoop the sauce into the "bowl"
5) Add the prawns and garnish.

Tata....

Lunch for 09.06.13

While queueing to buy pork for Brayden, I was thinking of cooking Bak Ku Teh so I called my parents to ask them whether they would like to come over for lunch. With my parents over for lunch and hubby's aunt staying with us, I can cook Bak Ku Teh with pork ribs and Feng Chang....

Just need to think of some other food for my hubby and helper who are Halal. hahaha...

I came across this using HCP. http://thebakingbiatch.blogspot.sg/2012/04/happy-call-pan-fish-paste-egg-roll.html. Want to make varieties so I used otah paste and fish paste. I added pepper, diced chilli and spring onion in the fish paste to make it more colourful. However, I made it wrongly. I should have spread the paste on the egg and roll them. I rolled it how I wrapped spring roll so the presentation is not so nice. Anyway, it still taste good accordingly to hubby. hehe...

Have a packet of sweet potato flour so decided to make hae lua. Both hubby and I do not take oyster and its very difficult to find hae lua. Asked my hubby's aunt to teach me how to cook this. But added the prawns too early so the prawns are tough. will attempt this again.

Fried Nai Bai with garlic. 

Fried Black promfret. Wanted to make sweet and sour sauce but not enough time. :( Just do with fried ginger lah. 

pancakes

Brayden started to eat hotcakes from Mac and he likes them. So I thought better to make them myself instead. He been unwell recently so not much appetite also. I decided to make this breakfast more interesting. Too bad, I cannot find Korean strawberries to eat with the pancakes. 

Got the pancake recipe from here. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/good-old-fashioned-pancakes/

Cheesy Chicken balls

Cheesy Chicken Balls (Cooked on 09.05.13)

Recently, we bought these Chicken Cheese Meat Balls from NTUC and hubby likes them.

I came across this site http://wokkingmum.blogspot.sg/2008/08/meatball-with-cheese.html and decided to try to make them myself. For some, I was too greedy and added too much cheese. So hubby likes some of them and found some of them too cheesy. hehe.. 

I used 200g minced chicken and mix with 200g fish paste. Never add any marinate. Add the cheese in the meat paste. Roll them into balls and cover them with cream crackers crumbs. Oops.. All are finished!

Its 2013. I decided to to make my blog active again. hahaha.. Inspired by Wendy.  I know I wont get invited by people but I just want to make this blog active again since I cooked more often nowadays. hahaha..
