As I was flipping thru the channels on the TV last weekend, the program 'Kitchen Boss' caught my eye. Buddy, the chef is usually joined by his family members in this show. This time around it was his Aunt. (i think...) So far, I think his/family recipes is really easy to follow. I have not tried any of it until this dish caught my attention.
It was a fish and veggie dish.
I missed out the first part of the fish section. But the veggie part was really easy to make.
The ingredients were pretty simple too.
- olive oil
- garlic
- caper
- anchovies
- zucchini
It was super easy and it 'sounded/looks' delicious.
As we were doing our usually weekly grocery shopping for the week. The salmon at the fish section was calling to to me.... (cos it looks fresh) I asked the 'MR' if he's up for a salmon pasta with a twist for dinner that day and he gave me the nod.
So I made this simple picolino cucumbers dish(I couldn't find zucchini, so I replaced it picolino cucumbers), then top it up with fillet salmon with lemon.
I loveee salmon... Don't get me wrong. But I sometimes feel that salmon has a very heavy and rich body to it especially if it's with pasta.
So I figured, why not mix and match this 2 dish together to ease up the heaviness of it.
It turn out nice...
I should have added more anchovies like how Buddy did!

harvesting bok choy
I managed to harvest all my baby bok choy except 3 or 4 which was destroyed by leaf miner problems.
I'm only disappointed with the size. I guess they don't call it Baby Bok Choy for nothing.

not bake but 'half baked'
A 'half baked' dish that I did last weekend.
Oyster sauce ginger chicken.
As usual, I forgot to add in a few ingredients. I have this bad habit of forgetting to add one or two ingredients when I cook. The problem only happens when I don't refer to the 'recipe collection'.
Sometimes Most of the time, I'm just to lazy to go back and forth to refer the recipe when I cook. hahahaha....
5 little chicken drumsticks
1 tablespoon of oyster sauce + pepper
julienne ginger
1 teaspoon of soy sauce
my missing ingredients was
sesame oil
chinese wine
I marinated the chicken with the oyster sauce and pepper for an hour of more. I prepared the ingredients in advanced and then went on cleaning and mopping the house.
Stir fry the ginger till the smell exploded (which smells wonderful) then add in the chicken. Let it cook for a while till the chicken is white.
I probably added about half a cup of water and let it simmer till it dried up.
The last time I cooked this 'little' chicken drumstick, I undercooked it. The outer part was white and cook, but the inner part near the bones was red and uncooked.
So this time around, I left it there to cook longer with the help of the water.
The dish came out ok. Meat = Totally cook. :)
Just without the kick of the sesame oil smell and the chinese wine taste.
Accompany with Pork Bone Soup with Red Dates, Dried mini Scallops and NZ Spinach.
Together with my disappointing Fried Slice Luncheon Meat.
