Ingredients 1 (2-pound) chicken
1 scallion, cut into 1 inch pieces
4 slices fresh, peeled ginger
6 tbsp vegetable oil or chicken oil rendered from chicken fat
6 to 8 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 cups long-grain uncooked rice, washed and drained
1 tsp fine salt
Mix together for Chilli Sauce 2 to 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
5 tbsp finely chopped fresh red chilies
5 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tbsp finely chopped ginger
1 tsp fine salt
1/2 cup boiling hot chicken soup
Method Boil a large pot of water. Stuff the cavity of the chicken with scallion and ginger. Add chicken to boiling water, breast side-down. Lower the heat to a simmer just under boiling point and cook, covered until just cooked through, about 40 minutes. Bathe the chicken in an ice water bath till chicken is cold to create a tender, springy texture. Heat oil in a rice cooker, add garlic, stir fry till fragrant. Add uncooked rice, stir fry for two minutes, add salt and enough chicken soup to cover 1/2 inch above the top of the rice. Boil on high heat, lower heat when steam holes form, cover and steam for 30 minutes till rice is cooked. Chop chicken and serve with steaming hot rice and chilli sauce. Dark soya sauce is the ideal accompaniment.
p/s: I got this recipe from the Uniquely Singapore website. Nyaman nie Nasi Ayam nya ah... sudah ku cuba buat... enak sehingga menjilat jari lols~... the chicken meat is verryyy tender.... the rice is very fragrant and the chilli dippings.. Fuh! Hehehe btw since this recipe does not give the preparation method for making the dark soya sauce..try this:
kicap cair, a dash of sesame oil, boiling chicken soup (yang dari atas atu..)
Pasta anie banyak macam... a wide variety of them. Italian pasta (yang selalu tani makan atu!) can be generalize into different categories (source: The Nibble)
Long form pasta or strand pasta. Eg spaghetti, angel hair, bucatini
Ribbon pasta. Eg: Fettuccine, lasagne, linguine and tagliatelle
Tubular pasta. Eg: Elbows, manicotti, penne and rigatoni
Don't fret when cooking pasta dishes... It's super easy !!!! Learn+know the basics... once you have master the basics.. waalaaah~!! semua pasta recipe pun u boleh buat...with ease!!!
These are the basic ingredients for cooking pasta dishes..the ones which uses tomato sauce as the base e.g. bolognese, marinara, arrabiata etc
use olive oil and a little bit of butter - it gives a very nice flavour to the dish
garlic and onion - for the flavour as well
tomatoes - fresh tomatoes are the best but then banyak kerja lagi kan di buat, deseed, remove the skin, stew them *arrggghh wasting time*... heheh so i opt for canned tomatoes...i use Hunt's - ada banyak 'flavour' to choose from.
FRESH herbs the best!! if you can't find them then use dried ones. Fresh herbs are easily available at SupaSave
top your pasta with cheese. Parmesan is the best, but cheddar pun okay jua lah
This recipe is to die for !!!! The first time I made this was for my habibi. His comment: "the best spaghetti he ever had... kalah canopy/capers!!!! (i dont remember which one yang ia sabut)" hehehe.... I got this from one of my fav recipe links.... :) so give it a try lah~

"This unassuming recipe is actually rather famous now. Everyone who's tried these eggs — whether in the restaurant or at home — just raves about them. They're also a very nostalgic dish for me, because Mrs Jang was my Uncle Jimmy's mother, and she used to cook these eggs for my brothers and me after we'd been working in his noodle factory. They're so simple, fresh and tasty. Where Westerners have fried eggs and bacon, Chinese people have fried eggs with chilli, oyster sauce and spring onions." - Kylie Kwong
p/s: Kylie is one of my favourite celeb-chefs. I can say I'm a big fan of her cooking shows. I've tried this recipe my self and it's super-delicious... addictive! I don't think it's suitable for weight watchers laaa~ hehehe
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
4 large free-range eggs
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
small pinch ground white pepper
2 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced
1-2 red chillies, finely sliced
Methods:
Heat oil in a hot wok until the surface seems to shimmer slightly. Crack the eggs into a small bowl, then pour into the hot oil. After 2 minutes, reduce heat to allow the bottom of the eggs to become firm and crisp; the yolks should still be runny at this point.
Carefully slide a fish slice under the eggs, lift out of wok and pour off oil. Return eggs to wok and place back over the heat for another 1-2 minutes to crisp further.
Gently remove eggs from wok and drain off any excess oil before easing onto a plate. Drizzle eggs with oyster sauce and garnish with pepper, spring onions and chillies.
This is one of my favourite recipes and it is very easy to make ^_^ Taste really good too..... !!!!
