When I have the ingredient or when my mood is really good after dinner, I like to prepare sandwiches for my breakkie the next morning.

If hubby behaves himself, i share some of it with him. muahahaha..no la. He usually gets a big share of the sandwiches I make. 🙂

 

Looks so yummy… oh how I wish I had made some last night for breakfast this morning… oh well.

One of my all time favourite dish under 15 minutes.

My first experiment with this dish was when I was studying in Melbourne and cooking time is not exactly something which a student have alot. So, I have learn many tricks to keep cooking time short and sweet. I made this the other day and am still head over heel in love with this dish. hehehe.. so, I decided to share with you guys. Hope you enjoy it. 😉

  • Pat dry a slice of Cod fish
  • Sprinkle all over with garlic (I add some chinese red date here just because hubby love this stuff ‘kei-chi’)
  • Add one slice of butter
  • Sprinkle salt on top (depending on how salty you like)
  • Pop into a steamer.

Viola ! Best serve with rice.

 

 

 

Chulet’s Bibimbap

Watching all the Korean drama has increase my cravings for Korean food recently. I have always been a fan of Korean cuisine. But have never made any real effort to prepare the dishes.  So, I decided to try my hand at making one of the many Korean signature dish – bibimbab which is a mixture of white rice topped with sautéed vegetables and ‘gochujang’ (chili pepper paste).

 It’s basically quite an easy dish to make. Just very tedious and need a lot of patience !!

 Ingredient chulet used 

  • julienne carrot
  • julienne cucumber (I used the Japanese cucumber variety)
  • julienne mushroom (those with long fat stalks)
  • julienne leeks
  • mince pork & lamb
  • sunny-side up egg
  • kimchi !! (bought the pre-made from supermarket)

All ingredients are sauté individually with salt and pepper to taste (except the cucumber). For the mince pork and lamb, marinate it with some oyster sauce, Soya sauce, sugar, salt, pepper and also sesame oil.

 

Once everything is done, I took some hot white rice and drizzle it with some sesame oil. After that, I arrange the entire ingredients into the bowl. Add the gochujang according to your taste. Mix everything up evenly and dig in !!!  

O-so-GOOD… hehehee.. I love it. Hub loves it. Yay !

Preparing this dish was super tiring. It took me almost 4-5 hours to prepare, with all the julienne and sauté requirement of the dish. The amount I prepare was enough to feed 6 people and it cost me about RM40 on the ingredient. If you had one bowl of bibimbap in a nice Korean restaurant probably will cost about RM20. Looking back at the time I took slaving in the kitchen, I think I would just go out and eat it next time. ;p
