Granny used to make steamed egg for me when I was little and it was just a plain version without any meat. Always a joy to share the hot & comforting steamed egg with her as we ate it with white rice. For my version, I added some minced pork to bulk the dish up. […]

I enjoy making meat patties, be it chicken or pork, as the options of accompaniments are vast but some popular ones would of course include water chestnuts, french beans, long beans, carrots, corn, lotus root, celery, rhubarb and other similar vegetables that could give the patties a good crunch. For this Corn & Chicken Patties Recipe, […]

I love cooking different types of porridge by experimenting with various ingredients. Broccoli and cauliflower are great vegetable choices as they don’t turn mushy easily. Just add some chicken breast or minced chicken, this would be a low-fat, low cholesterol, nutritious porridge meal fit for the whole family. Healthy Brown Rice Porridge with Broccoli & […]

My husband used to hate garlic. He said he never liked it even when he was back home in England and whenever he saw garlic in any dish, he’d rather waste time in picking out the garlic bits then eat them. But he’s a changed man now. Because I exposed him to the garlic culture […]

It looks exactly like our usual mashed potatoes but it’s definitely lighter than carbs-packed spuds. Texture wise, this mashed cauliflower has that same creamy consistency that just melts in the mouth. You can just season it like the way you normally do for mashed potatoes. I like mine with sour cream and mayonnaise. What about you? 🙂 Healthy Mashed Cauliflower […]

Annyeong-haseyo! 안녕하세요 (“Hello” in Korean) I have such a food fetish for anything Korean these days that I actually tried whipping up 5 consecutive days of Korean dishes for lunch just by using gochujang (Korean chilli paste), chicken or pork, vegetables, kimchi and rice or vermicelli. And I’m just amazed at how versatile this gochujang […]

I had some tahini left in the fridge after making hummus the other day and thought I could make a salad dressing out of it. I had read up somewhere that tahini works pretty well with miso paste but I only had some mild miso which wasn’t rich enough to counteract the slightly bitter taste […]

This simple Chicken Carrot Porridge recipe inspiration came from my mum when she only had carrots and chicken meat left in her fridge. She turned that into a lovely, hot porridge for lunch which she had without any seasoning as she normally prefers plain food. To make it slightly more palatable than just that, I used […]

Whenever I order a takeaway at my favourite mixed rice stall in my neighbourhood, I’d always look out for their kung pao chicken which consists of juicy cubes of chicken leg/thigh meat and fragrant dried chillies in a savoury sauce. I just wish they would add cashew nuts, trim the skin/fats on the chicken, use […]

Sometimes when I run out of ideas on what to cook or simply have no inspiration for meal planning, I’ll just make some plain rice porridge and a few easy dishes like omelette, steamed egg or a stir fry like this one to go with the porridge. It’s just having Teochew porridge with whatever dishes you […]

Every time I cook lotus root soup, I would get leftovers of lotus root as it’s often sold in huge sizes in the supermarket and it’s just too much for a pot of soup. So these days, I would first slice up a small bunch and keep in the fridge for next day to prepare […]

This Fried Bee Hoon with Stewed Pork Recipe is one of my favourite one-dish recipes. Normally if I have to cook lunch on weekends, this would be one easy dish to prepare. The stewed pork has a rich and flavourful gravy that makes the bee hoon slightly moist and savoury tasty. And this dish reminds me […]

I love tofu, be it fried, braised or steamed. And they are just so nutritious too. This is one of my favourite tofu dishes as it’s not oily, not heaty and really easy to make. Who says tofu must always be plain? Not when they are dressed up like this Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork […]
