Rice cooker chicken rice



This is what I cooked for the weekend.  An easy super duper all-in-one dish accompanied with a vegetable soup on the side.  I was just too lazy to whip up any other dishes as the weather is so super hot and humid these days and my brain cells couldn't function properly.  So, as long as it can fill the stomach, it's all that matters!




The slices of red meat is sweet  'kwai fah yoke'.







If you're hard pressed for time, can consider this option for a quick and wholesome meal.

    I cook this pretty often but I used Blessed Homemaker's recipe. Next time I will try yours. What is 'Kwai Fah yoke'?

      It's a piece of flat sweet meat, popular during CNY. You can substitute with Chinese sausages. You can see it in the above picture.

    Hi

    Will your rice stick to the side and base of the rice cooker? I always scope up about more than a quarter bowl at the end of the day. May I know how to pretend this from happening. Thanks

      I'm using a non-stick rice cooker, so I don't encounter that problem.

    Ah yes... this is one super-duper easy dish that I cook occasionally. The only difference is I use Chinese sausages instead of 'Kwai Fah Yoke'.

      Yes the heat is getting on my nerves. Adding in salted fish is more fragrant but unfortunately not appreciated amongst my family members.

Double Boiled Herbal Chicken Soup

Double boiling is slow cooking ........ means to put a soup pot or any covered ceramic or steel pot inside a bigger pot, immerse in boiling water, and let the soup cook at a lower temperature.  Hence the soup is cooked from heat generated from the boiling water and not from direct heat source. Double boiling lets the soup ingredients slowly release their nutrients into the soup, thus making it tasty and wholesome.  It's a long cooking process, roughly averaging 2 to 4 hours.  The tip is not to open the cover to check on the soup as it'll bring down the temperature and affect the cooking process.  The plus point is there's little evaporation and the soup will not boil over.  The only thing is to monitor that there's enough water in the bigger pot and not let it run dry.  Of course, nowadays, the slow cooker is another alternative to double boiling, saves the hassle of checking the water level.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.
