no bones about it

Very seldom do I cook fish at home, not that I don't like fish - I do, but my brother (who complains a lot about my cooking) finds eating fish risky and a lot of work, what with the business of picking off all those small fish bones.

So I am limited to using fillets and am glad I found one recipe that I tweaked to make a version of:


Saucy Fish Fillet
Ingredients:
- half kilo fish fillets
- 1 medium red bell pepper cut into cubes
- 1 medium green bell pepper cut into cubes
- half a cup broccoli florets
- salt
- pepper
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce

How to:
- cut the fillets into one inch squares, season with salt and pepper then dredge with flour
- pan fry till golden brown, drain on paper towels as set aside
- heat wok with little oil and stir- fry onion and garlic until aromatic, add the veggies.
- add the 3 sauces with half a cup of water, stir fry until veggies are crisp tender, mix in the fish fillets and toss until coated with sauce

Best served with steamed white rice and it is somehow better eaten in a bowl with the use of chopsticks - very Chinese take-out.

experiment success!!!

getting Stuffed!

I my house no leftovers are never wasted - we dress them up or 'reinvent' them into new dishes for the next meal, such is the case when I made these stuffed bell peppers. I had a couple of cups of  leftover rice in the fridge along with a slice of steak and mixed veggie sidings from the steak dinner we had the previous night. I wanted to make it like a java rice but didn't have the turmeric powder needed to color the rice yellow so I used the curry powder I had instead and liked the mild spicyness flavor it gave the rice. Curry Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers ingredients: - 2 large bell peppers - 2 cups of leftover rice - 1 cup cooked sliced meat of your choice - 1 cup cooked mixed veggies - chopped onion and garlic - 1 tsp or more of curry powder how to: - cut the bell pepper in half to make 'cups'  - if you are using the long big ones or if using the round ones have 4 and just cut the tops off, carefully remove the seeds - blanche the bell peppers i...

winner winner chicken dinner!

whenever I don't feel like slaving too much in the kitchen and want something fast and cheap, my go to option is to get a whole Roasted Chicken. Yep, we love our chicken, but you got to admit sometimes store bough roast can be a tad bland and dry. In cases like this I dress it up a bit and throw in some veggies and a sauce to give it more flavor and liven it up. Sweet Chili Chicken Stir Fry ingredients: - half a roasted chicken deboned and the meat cut into strips - 1 cup broccoli florets and stems - 1 medium carrot sliced - 1/2 cup broth or water - 1/2 cup of sweet chili sauce (or more according to your taste) how to: - just toss everything in a work cooking until veggies are crisp tender - best served with hot steamed rice  no more bland and dry chicken! this one is saucy, sweet and spicy like chinese take out
