Yesh, I decided to blog on my cooking for this week. You must be thinking that Ivy has nothing to post thats why the cooking post.

You can say that again~!

hahaha...

Anyway, lets start with Monday. I was at home the whole day so my mum asked to be cook Japanese curry. It's quite easy actually. Before you start, just make sure you bought those japanese curry paste (found in most major supermarkets. I got mine from Jurong Point Liberty~), a few potatos, chicken breast or thigh (although chicken thigh is really soft, you need to debone it, and that requires some tough work.), carrots and 2-3 medium onions. The amount of ingredients depend on how many people are having that curry.

So just cut everything (onions, carrots, potatoes, chicken) into reasonable sized cubes and get ready a pot. Heat the pot and pour in some oil and fry those onions!

When the onions are slightly transparent, add in the chicken meat. Stir fry the onions and meat for a few minutes.

Add in those potatoes and carrots and stir the ingredients around for another 2-3 minutes.

Add in water just enough to cover the ingredients (too much water and you will have a watery curry. But then again, if too much water, just let the curry cook for a long while and the curry will thicken)

Add in the curry paste (For this pot, I actually add in 3 pieces of the curry paste). Make sure your paste melts completely and stir the curry continuously. Let the curry cook, stirring it occasionally to prevent the curry from sticking onto the pot. And...

VOILA~! Japanese Curry!

And just now, I cooked fried rice for dinner as well. Is a rather easy recipe too! Make sure you bought eggs, a piece of fish cake, chopped cha siew (you can get them from the market), french beans and scallots (small purple onions..). And make sure you cooked the rice in the morning and let it cool.

Chop the fishcake into cubes, finely chopped the french beans and the scallots. Beat 3-4 eggs and add in a teaspoon of light soya sauce into the beaten egg.

Heat the wok and when the wok is hot enough, add in oil. Pour in the beaten egg. try not to stir it and let it cook into a omelette. Flip it if you can. Roughly cut it into pieces and take them out of the wok into a plate.

Then, add in the scallots and fry them. When they are browned, add in french beans and stir fry for awhile.

Add rice in and stir the rice into the beans. (Needs major arm muscle to do that..-_-'')

Add in fishcake and cha siew and stir fry. Then, add the eggs in and do more stir-frying. Add in seasoning (light soya sauce, hua tiao wine, large pinch of salt, sesame oil and pepper.). Test the rice to see if it is salty enough.
