I have been cooking for my aunt for a while. Taking care of her and making sure she eat healthy food is my priority. Porridge, soup and fried rice and also sandwiches are some of the meal I frequently prepare for us. And of course less sugar and salt in them. Today I decided to cook chicken soup. Yesterday's menu was chicken kurma. I learn to prepare this dish healthily and use easier method to cook as I just cook for two people. I added carrot and potato in the soup. Personally I prefer to use the part of chicken where they have bones and skin attached to them as they have more flavor. But for my aunt I use boneless part of chicken as she loves to eat boneless chicken meat.  For 2 people Ingredients 200 to 250 gram chicken meat  1/3 medium onion (coarsely sliced) 1 tablespoon green onion ( only the lighter color part not the dark green leaves and slice them ) 1/2 inch ginger (crushed) 3 cloves garlic (crushed and finely minced) 1/2 tomato/ 1 tablespoon lime juice /1 small tam...

Some requires making broth and some not. Some are thick in texture and some are clear. One thing they share in common is their deliciousness.  We sometimes make noodle soup for dinner.

Laksa is a type of noodle dish which is widely consumed in Malaysia. It uses rice noodles and the soup is mostly seafood base. There are Penang laksa which is a bit spicy and sour, Sarawak laksa which is also delicious, Johor laksa, Kelantan Terengganu laksa, and Siamese laksa. These laksa are different in taste and color. But all are delicious.  Most of these laksa are eaten with fresh vegetables such as cucumber, basil, long beans, onion and bean sprout. Fresh vegetables are finely chopped and added just before eating the laksa. Last 2 days I made Penang laksa. I rarely cook this, as we usually make the Kelantan laksa. Penang laksa is also easy to get, it is widely sold in the night market everywhere. Making Penang Laksa is easy. The ingredients are not so many, and the process is simple. Soak dried laksa noodles for 30 minutes then boil them until tender. Then boil the eggs. After that prepare the 'kuah' or the soup.  The taste heavily depends on the kuah. It must be sour, ...

Tuna is always my favorite food. But recently I developed a symptom of feeling unwell when I smell half cooked fish. I cannot stand the fishy smell. So I avoided eating fish for a while, unless it is well seasoned and well cooked. I also started to eat rice porridge frequently as it does helps to comfort my stomach. This simple rice porridge does helps to reduce bloating problem and is also easy to make. But it cannot be eaten alone and must be accompanied with other meal made with meat and vegetable.  I have been thinking on what should I cook to partner with my porridge. Fried anchovies, egg in soy sauce, fried chicken came to mind.  At last  I found a slice of boiled tuna in the fridge and quickly decided on this menu which is soy sauce and ginger tuna. It is a recipe of fried tuna cooked in soy sauce paste until the paste is reduced and dried. This tuna dish has less fishy taste and smell as it is coated with many flavorings and cooked two to three times.  U...
