Thank you, everyone, for your comments and emails and best wishes for Jac’s speedy recovery. I will reply to comments as soon as I can! But for now, I promised food photos, and here they are! It seems like an eternity ago, but this was my dinner of cold chicken (leftover from Jac’s birthday dinner) […]
On Saturday morning Jac and I went to the shops and I introduced her to Sumo Salad. We shared a regular grilled chicken caesar, which came with a free bread roll, which was a nice bonus – when Juj and Jay and I ate Sumo Salad in town we didn’t get free bread. Jac really […]
EDIT: You know how I mentioned Jac threw in the red chillis that had been sitting in soy sauce? Well, she actually marinated the chicken pieces in that for a little while before cooking – and then the whole lot, chicken and chilli marinade was used in the stir-fry. I’ve just eaten my dinner: rice […]
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, […]
And still more chicken! Jac made this stir-fry during the week for dinner, with chicken, mushrooms, red capsicum, carrots, green beans, chunky onion, ginger, garlic, soy and teriyaki sauce. We ate it with rice and it was delicious.
In all my excitement writing about the weekend, I forgot this! Last week, Jac wanted to try out a recipe for Combination Dim Sims from her Family Circle Favourite Asian Recipes book, but I really didn’t feel like more dumplings. She laughed at my anti-dumpling sentiments and used the recipe to make pork patties instead. […]
It’s been a horrendous week. Too much stuff to do, not enough time to do it in. I won’t bore you with the details. Jac made a delicious saucy stir-fry at the beginning of the week. She marinated the beef in corn flour and chinese rice wine. She stir-fried it with red capsicum, mushrooms and […]
Yet another photo of yet another uni lunch of yet another bowl of chicken noodle soup. For dinner last night, Jac made a chicken and vegetable (carrots, green beans, green capsicum, spring onions) stir-fry. The sauce was a combination of hoisin sauce, soy sauce and chicken stock. The chicken was thigh pieces cut into chunks […]
Here are two recent dinners, cooked by Jac (of course), and eaten enthusiastically by me (of course!). First, a noodle stir-fry with chicken, garlic tofu and vegetables (onions, garlic, mushrooms, green beans, spring onion and baby corn spears). The noodles are Japanese mushroom noodles Jac bought from an asian supermarket. I think she used mushroo…
Tuesday night’s dinner: hoisin chicken and vegetable stir-fry. The sauce consisted of hoisin sauce, soy sauce and chilli sauce (the chilli sauce was a garlicky one leftover from our last trip to Spencer Village). The chicken was boneless skinless thighs. The vegetables were onion, garlic, cauliflower, carrot, broccoli and mushroom. Tasty tast…
