here's another one you all can try:
"claypot" chicken rice ...
ingredients:
sliced lap cheong pieces,
black mushrooms, soaked till soft,
garlic and ginger, diced
chicken thigh pieces, skin on,
brown all the ingredients in a wok with oil, flavour with soy sauce, hoi sin sauce or sweet sauce, (I like to put in thai fish sauce or japanese bonito flavoured soy sauce also), then added the amount of washed rice you want to cook, stir a bit, then transfer over to rice cooker, add one cup less water than you would for the rice, cos there's already moisture in the ingredients, then pour some sesame seed oil onto the top, press the "cook" button, voila ! ...
claypot chicken rice in a rice cooker ...
I experimented with assorted veggies before, but it always came out over-cooked
you can put in pumpkin or yam chunks also, I prefer pumpkin, cos the sweetness of it goes very well with the rest of the ingredients ...

urgent urgent request ...
how do you cook live (atlantic) lobsters har ? ....
ben ? ... anyone ? ...
I want to do something more fancy than just plain boiling it ... -
How about a lemon and garlic butter lobster? Slice the lobster down the middle. Make a butter and garlic sauce. Drizzle most of it on the flesh and then all over. Bake at 350F for about 30 mins or until it looks done. Squeeze some fresh lemon over it just before enjoying.Originally posted by Fatum:urgent urgent request ...

Best way to cook lobsters are in salted boiling water. It keeps all the natural juices in the lobster. You can make a standard court boillion ( spelling mistake ) but best way is just plain ol salted water !Originally posted by jetta:Originally posted by Fatum:

was chatting with littlestream about pork recipes, thought I'd put three of them down here in the sticky ...
1. Super Simple fried pork tenderloin chunks:
ingredients:
pork tenderloin, chunked into bite sized pieces
an orange
soy sauce
sesame seed oil
hua teow cooking wine
white pepper (if you prefer)
method:
tenderize the tenderloin with a meat tenderizer or the back of a large knife if you don't own one, marinate the pork in soy sauce, sesame seed oil and hua teow wine (white pepper if you like them), let it sit for at least an hour
fry the chunks in oil ... drain well, then squeeze the orange juice over the pork as a simple sauce ... voila ! ...
2. To turn the fried pork into pork in tomato sauce
ingredients:
see above, but replace the orange with
a tomato,
tomato sauce,
corn starch,
bell peppers and/or pineapple chunks according to taste and availability
method:
as above, after draining, the oil, return to frying pan or wok, pour in tomato sauce, the tomato and bell peppers and pineapple chunks sliced into chunks, dissolve some corn starch in hot water and pour that in, stir well ...
voila ! ...
(you can, of course, dust the chunks in corn starch too before frying them, but I prefer not to) -
Coffee Flavoured Roasted Pork Ribs
ingredients:
Rack(s) of pork ribs, uncut
sugar
hoi sin sauce
soy sauce
coffee powder
cumin and thyme (optional)
mix soy sauce, hoi sin sauce and sugar and two spoons of coffee powder with a little hot water, brush mixture onto ribs, let it marinate for at least two hours (best solution is, of course, to soak the ribs in a ziplock baggie over night in the fridge, you should do that with all roast and BBQ meats)
place racks on roasting pan, heat up oven to 250 (the sugar and hoi sin sauce caramelizes really easily, so keep the heat lower), dust cumin and thyme onto meat (personal preference, but I like the cumin on roasts that takes away the greasy feel in the mouth) and place in oven ... should be at least 1.5 hours before it's cooked ...
remove from oven, let it "breathe" for a while, then cut and serve ... voila ! ... -
okiez ... here's another super quick recipe ....
Quick and Easy Roasted Pork Ribs ...
I had wanted to make the coffee ribs described above, but I realized that I'm out of coffee .... so I had to make do with what I had on hand ...
ingredients:
Racks of Pork Ribs (you can substitute with Beef Ribs if you want),
hoisin sauce,
fish sauce,
oyster sauce,
Fillipino BBQ sauce, (look for them at the nearest asian/pinoy supermarket, they are light brown in colour)
thyme
paprika powder
a bit of oil
Method:
Marinate the ribs with all of the above except the thyme, paprika and oil, let it sit for at least an hour
line a roasting pan and oil the thing.
preheat the oven to 350, put it in and let it cook for approximately 1.5 hours, take it out occasionally to bast with more sauce ... toss some thyme and paprika onto it on the last half an hour ...
voila ! ...
marinating the meat
on the pan ready to go
The finished product ....
as you can see, the pan is pretty crowded ... but hey, then I don't have to wash two roasting pans eh .... -

Hmmm I agree... it still looks edible.. and I can see some layering! They're quite even!
It's very good for a first try! -
