Cereal Chicken Chop


'Cereal Chicken Chop' ......... After trying out the 'Cereal Prawns' I experimented the premix cereal with chicken but this time I omitted the bird eye chillies.  In fact this cereal is very versatile, can be used for fish fillet as well!  Result, just one word ...... Yummy!



Just pan fry the marinated chicken thigh, once cooked, dish out.  Melt some butter, stir-fry the curry leaves, cereal mix and return the chicken into the mixture and you are done.






Dish out the chicken pieces onto a serving plate, add in some cucumber slices, shredded carrots and cabbage, sprinkle on some lime, and dinner is ready .............. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  • 3 chicken legs, skin removed and deboned
  • 40 gm cereal mix
  • 1 Japanese cucumber, peeled and sliced
  • 1 stick carrot, shredded
  • Some cabbage, shredded
  • 1 to 1.1/2 Tbsp margarine/butter
  • 2 to 3 kaffir ~ limau kasturi leaves, optional
  • Oil for frying
Preparation
  1. Wash and pat dry the chicken legs.
  2. Pan fry the chicken legs in a non-stick pan, flip from side to side till thoroughly cooked.  Dish out.
  3. Wash the pan, heat up some butter, once melted, toss in the curry leaves and stir-fry.
  4. Add in the cereal mix and  the cooked chicken pieces.  Stir-fry and dish out onto serving plates.

  8. Oh yum. This sounds good. Aunty, did you use something similar to Nestum, or more crunchy like cornflakes? It looks very crisp and delicious.

    If you go to my 'Cereal Prawns' recipe there's a pic of the premix.
    It's oats with some premix, think some salt, sugar, pepper, maybe some ajimoto. Come to think of it, used to have Nestum dishes in the restaurant menu, but this has faded somewhat.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.

Pumpkin Carrot Cake

I have never tried baking cakes with raw pumpkin and was glad when Amy Beh shared a recipe for Pumpkin Carrot Cake.  The moist cake tasted good, the sweet pumpkin blended well with the slightly sourish cranberries.  I have reduced the sugar somewhat and tweaked the method too.  I'll be baking this again for the Chinese New Year.  This cake was an instant hit with my family ....... Try it!

Kai Chai Paeng aka Little chicken biscuit

K ai Chai Paeng or 'Little chicken biscuit' was one of my father's favourite item to take away whenever we stopped by Bidor, a small town south of Ipoh on the way to Kuala Lumpur, long ago before the North-South Highway came into existence.  Those days, Bidor's famous restaurant, Pun Chun ,was like a half-way house whereby travellers would stop by for their signature 'Ngap thui meen' or duck thigh noodles. Pun Chun restaurant is right in the middle of town along the main road and has been in operation for 70 years and their Kai Chai Paeng were of the thick, doughy type made with lard and some pork but now they also have the thin and crispy version. Another small town, known as Kampar which is nearer to Ipoh is also famous for their thin and crispy version of  Kai Chai Paeng.  However,  I'm not too sure which town is the originator of these 'chickenless', unique but absolutely aromatic 'Little chicken biscuit'.
