Prepared a really really weird dinner 2 days ago. While I was wanting to enjoy a nice western meal, something happened! Haha.. Nothing bad though! The menu:
1) Pan-grilled garlic salmon with grilled french beans
I was being lazy with washing up, hence grilled beans, too. Yea so they kinda shrivelled up. (: Haha. For the salmon, a bit of some random sauces and spices. A lot of chopped garlic. D: Mom have a habit of keeping loads of sauces/spices without using them so I use A, B, C on one day, and D, E, F on another! Haha.. It works well! Btw, for a quick one, its very convenient to get a bottle of Masterfoods garlic salt to rub into your meats/fish/vegs. Because it has a mixture of other things as well, it works well if used alone. I use it every single day to cook the veg. Safe time lah! But don’t get the McCormick one - it clogs easily.
2) Chye-po egg (??!)
My bro came home suddenly when dinner was almost ready so there wasn’t enough dishes for everyone. So, he asked for egg. Which totally didn’t go with salmon. Haha.. But our dinners are often like that. Try-to-be-herby-but-want-to-add-sesame-oil!
3) Stir-fry Pak Choy
Just like the egg, a last minute add-on. ",
See the orange liquid? Clearly, fish oils only. Didn’t add olive oil or anything.. Healthy?
All shrivelled up beans…
For today though, it was nice and all westernized! (:
1) Roasted Chicken breasts with vegetables
Ok, today I went to Giant IMM with my mom. And we got a bottle of balsamic vinegar and boy, I was looking forward to using it man! Hha! So.. here we go again! With lots of garlic! Onions too! I just crushed them in without peeling. Lazy. (My mom would have made noise cos it’s ‘dirty’. But she’s out for dinner tonight! Shh..) The veggies were par-boiled first though, then everything was tossed in olive oil, herbs (I used thyme), vinegar and the usuals… Sat in the oven for about 40 mins. So I managed to finish up my chem tutorial during that precious time!!!! Yea, that’s the way mag! Haha! But, that’s about all the work I did in a day. Wow, there’s still 3 tests next week. :/ Anyway, the balsamic vinegar can work quite well with onions, other than tomatoes, cos it gives a the already sweet onion added sweetness when it caramelizes. Hmm yea.
Haha.. Dirty garlic..
