Hainanese Chicken Rice Recipe From RasaMalaysia.com For Bookmarking

http://rasamalaysia.com/chicken-rice/2/



So I tried this out the other day. Good recipe! Highly recommend!

It took me about 2 hours to prepare the:
1. Chicken
2. Soup
3. Rice
4. Chili Sauce
5. Special Soy Sauce

Basically you have to boil the chicken first and chill it and cool it down to room temperature.
Use the soup to make the rice and chili sauce.
Prep the soy sauce and cucumber to accompany the chicken.

Tasted really good. I replaced the required chicken with a smaller spring chicken and it turned out quite tender.




My kitchen utensils are not that big. So a smaller chicken is easier to control. Plus there won't be any leftovers with a smaller chicken.

I added extra carrots, leeks and celery to the soup to make it more tasty.
And also added fresh tomato next to the prepped chicken.
I guess you can buy some achar and this would also complement it.



So going to cook this again!

Will try the roasted chicken next time!

Air Fried Roast Chicken Recipe From BudgetPantry.com For Bookmarking

Tried this 3o minute recipe from

http://budgetpantry.com/airfried-rosemary-spring-chicken/#more-3969




Was surprised how tasty and moist the chicken turned out.
Coz sometimes when I use the air fryer to cook stuff, they turn out really dry.




Modified Chicken Marinate:
  1. Some sprinkling of Salt and black pepper
  2. 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
  3. 2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  4. Minced garlic
I eliminated the bay leaves and colored peppers.
Marinated it overnight in the fridge in a tupperware.




Next evening, I just have to pop the chicken in the airfryer and dinner is ready!
I steamed some potatoes, broccoli and baked beans as sides.
Added some salt, pepper, honey mustard and butter to the potatoes and that's it.

Modified Method:
  1.  Preheat airfryer at 200 Degrees for 3 minutes
  2. Airfry Chicken for 6 minutes at 200 Degrees
    (Sear and seal)
  3. Airfry for 10 minutes at 180 Degrees on one side.
  4. Airfry for 10 minutes at 180 Degrees on other side.
  5. Coat chicken with 2 tablespoon of honey
    (Don't do this earlier or it will become dark and bitter)
  6. Airfry for 3 minutes at 200 Degrees
    (Char, Caramel, Wok Hei & Glaze)








Macaroni & Cheese Recipe From Kraft For Bookmarking

So we were shopping around in Mustafa and chanced upon this pack of Instant Mac & Cheese from Kraft. 

It comes with a pack of Dry Mini Macaroni and Cheese Powder inside.





Back home, I was able to whip up this dish in under 15 minutes. And it tasted great. Like those sides you get to eat at Astons or Kenny Rogers.

Liked how easy the instructions were:

ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS:

1. 6 Cups of Water
2. 3 Tablespoon of Margarine
3. 1/2 Cup of Milk


METHOD:
1. Boil water and add in dry macaroni to cook until tender.
    Stir occasionally. Drain the Macaroni Dry.

2. Add in Additional Ingredients + Cheese Powder
    to the Cooked Macaroni



3. Stir, Taste, Adjust and Eat!

WHAT THIS MEANS:
If you're not able to buy this Instant Mac & Cheese and have a craving in the middle of the night,
you can replicate it by replacing it with your own pasta and adding in fresh Cheddar cheese or cheese or your own liking to adjust.

Going to try this out one day!
