Today's lunch

Undecided as I always be, of what to cook for lunch? For breakfast (late actually), or should we call it brunch, coz the kiddos had only woke up few mins before 11 a.m. (yes, they slept very late nowadays, watching too much cartoon, I have to start some sleeping regime some day). Err, what I wanna say just now..oh yeah,  just gave them one cup of Calciyum strawberry-flavoured each. Why? Bcoz I don't wanna them to be full until lunch otherwise my effort in cooking lunch will be such a tiring process.

So, here's our lunch for today.


Stir-fried Vegetables

Half of broccoli - cut into florets
Half of carrot - cut into bite-size chunks
Prawns - shelled and throw the black threads
2 squids - cut into rings
1/2 yellow onion - sliced thinly
2 garlics - chopped
1 packet Sos Kreatif Maggi (sumthing like that la)
Some water
Some oil

Heat oil and saute the sliced onion and garlic till fragrant. Put in prawns and squid, stir a while, then pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well then add up carrots and broccoli's hard parts. Stir till soft, then add up broccoli's florets and some water. Cook till quite thick and dry.

Chicken Soup with Oyster Mushrooms

4 chicken thigh parts
3 garlics - crushed
1/2 red onion - quartered
1 thumb-sized old ginger - crushed
1 packet soup condiments (sup bunjut, cloves, star anise, etc)
Oyster mushrooms as preferred
Enough water
2 1/2 tbsp Maggi Cukup Rasa

Boil all ingredients till chicken cooks.

3 shallots - sliced thinly
1 garlic - sliced thinly
Oil

Fry the shallots and garlic till crisp then pour in the soup with a little oil.

As usual, don't forget to put some sliced coriander leaves and spring onions.

If preferred, can put some bird's eye chillies (crushed) and 1 tbsp lime juice.

And the soup tasted really nice when eaten with sambal tempoyak and petai.
