Another Fan of Indonesian Fried Chicken??

I keep cooking this Indonesian Fried Chicken (Ayam Goreng) because they are very2 easy to make

What you need is: few pieces of Chicken and Ayam Goreng seasoning paste…

(Left:Sambal(Chili) / Right:Ayam Goreng Seasoning)

1) Marinade the chicken in Ayam Goreng paste (1 kg chicken = 2tbs )

2) Add 1 cup of water, and then boil until all the liquid is absorbed.

3) Just deep-fry the chicken ♪

4) Eat with Sambal chilli

Another dish…***Sang Choy Bow*****

Chop up carrot, celery, garlic, ginger and a handful of peeled prawn

Chop chop…..(^0^)

Then stir-fry with chicken mince, some soy sauce and oyster sauce!

How simple is that??

Eat with fresh, crisp lettuce leaves

Ummmm… so full!! :p

Inari Sushi

Inari Sushi

Again, Japanese food…

You might have seen these golden sushi in Japanese restaurants or takeaway shops

***Inari Sushi***

Actually I don’t usually eat them in Japan because they are not my favourite ( I will go for Nigiri-sushi with some fresh seafood rather than Inari-sushi…), but here in Perth I seldom go to Japanese restaurant to eat sushi.  Besides, the sushi in Perth are much much different from those in Japan

In some places, seafood is not fresh, too expensive, not so many variety, the rice is tasteless…and sometimes the person who makes sushi in the restaurant/takeaway shop doesn’t really know what the sushi is / how sushi should be made… ( I won’t tell the name of the shop, but the shop sells some sushi rolls made with JUST vinegared rice: he doesn’t put any other seasoning to the rice such as salt, sugar…of course it tastes VERY VERY vinegary)

Yap, so I don’t usually go out to eat Japanese food here, don’t wanna pay money for those food…

For some reasons my partner loves Inari sushi, and sometimes I make them up at home because it’s much cheaper to just make it rather than buying it from the shop.

Inari skin

You can buy these Inari skin (seasoned fried-beancurd) from any Asian shop around Perth.  It shapes like a pocket.

What you need to make Inari

Cook Sushi rice (short grain rice), season it with vinegar, sugar and salt.

(Rice 3cups, Rice Vinegar 4tbs, Sugar 4tbs, Salt 2tsp)

OR you can just use this packet: Sushi no Ko (Sushi Powder)  Add this powder till the rice is tasty enough.

Sushi Rice Seasoning

When the rice is cooled down, stuff the rice into pockets

It’s easy, cheap to make!

Sushi are always best to be eaten on the day they are made, and shouldn’t be kept in the fridge. (otherwise rice becomes hard)

Ummmm Sweeeeet

Is it only me, or do you feel like eating sweets when you are tired? … :p

I got some Japanese sweets from my work today, and it was a perfect timing: I NEED SWEETS☆☆☆ so I enjoyed them

*** KUSA DAIFUKU & KURI MANJU ***

Kusa Mochi & Kuri Manju

Kusa Daifuku is Japanese Flour Cake: Japanese herbs are kneaded into the dough which makes the cake GREEN colour.  There is sweet red bean inside.  Ummm yum-yum…

Manju is Japanese style bun stuffed with some kinds of sweet paste, usually with red bean paste.

Kuri means chestnut, so this Manju’s shape looks like a chestnut, and taste like chestnut (marron).

The best accompaniment is, of course, Japanese green tea!

Chicken Porridge

A winter day like today makes me feel like eating something hot and soupy… :p

Soup?  Stew??

Ummm I want something non-instant food and easy to cook…
