Jac cooked our first minchee in the new house (the first of many, I’m sure!). You know something fantastic (besides the minchee)? When we decided we loved the new house and put an offer in to buy it, I never thought about what photos taken in the new kitchen would be like! And as it […]
We’ve cooked minchee using turkey mince previously (I have a category devoted to minchee), and I remarked on how “wormy” the turkey mince looked. It tasted fine, but I think pork mince remains the ideal meat to use for minchee. We cooked up another batch of turkey mince minchee recently though, because 1) we needed […]
I had a craving for minchee during the week before Christmas. We didn’t have any pork mince in the freezer, so we used turkey mince instead. Well, it did seem appropriate, with Christmas coming and all. :) In this turkey version, the mince turned out looking quite wormy, but it’s just the way it came […]
It’s Christmas eve. I have to go to work today, and then have the next four days off (Christmas, Boxing Day, weekend). Most of the food outlets I normally grab lunch from are closed for the festive season, so for lunch today, I’ve packed leftovers – turkey minchee*, rice, a KFC Original Recipe drumstick, KFC […]
Tuesday 29/04/2008 – a comforting meal of rice, minchee and stir-fried green beans. The beans were cooked with onion, garlic and dark soy sauce and finished with a drizzle of sesame oil. The minchee was just good old minchee, cubed potatoes, pork mince, garlic and onion cooked in oyster sauce and a little chicken stock. […]
Our friends MK and AK and their two teenaged kids came over for dinner on Friday night. By the time I got home from work I was in my usual state of Friday night exhaustion, feeling a little worried that I’d be battling to stay awake through dinner. I put on my apron and helped […]
It was a strange sort of day yesterday. Early in the morning, we went to the International Airport to pick up VR, expecting that her flight had landed at 02:10AM. I’d had every intention of going to bed early and setting the alarm to get up around 1AM to get showered and ready to go, […]
I hope you haven’t been too bored with this latest batch of photos. We haven’t really been eating anything new or particularly interesting. It’s all been tasty, though! On Monday, Jac cooked up a batch of minchee. She also made a stir-fry of greens and tofu. The green stir-fry had lettuce, snowpeas, green beans, onions, […]
Last week, when I was feeling tired and grumpy, Jac knew exactly what would cheer me up. Minchee and rice (SPAM, egg and rice would have also worked). She served the minchee and rice with a vegetable stir-fry made with a Mama Sita stir-fry mix. Mmmm, it was good.
Dinner last night consisted of rice plus a couple of old favourites: fried cabbage and egg (flavoured with oyster sauce – Jac’s variation last night included peas too – she is never truly satisfied unless she’s feeding me lots of green vegetables!) and minchee (I’ve posted pics of this dish before – potato and po…
