#21 Terriyaki Chicken Wings

Hey hey heyyyyy~! Okay so today I'm going to share with you a super duper extremely simple recipe. It's called Terriyaki Chicken Wings. Please make sure you ONLY  buy Woh Hup terriyaki chicken marinade. This is because other terriyaki chicken marinade contains wine and will make your dish haram to be consumed. You'll be surprised how yummy and simple this dish is.

Ingredients:

Woh Hup Terriyaki Chicken Marinade
Chicken wings
Mixed Herbs in a bottle (optional)
White pepper
Oil
1 garlic (chopped finely)

Instructions:

Yes, the ingredients are as little as that. Wash your chicken first okay! Then you put the chicken in a bowl , be generous with the terriyaki sauce, but not so much, as long as it covers the chicken and have enough to act as gravy for your dish. I used about half a bottle of the marinade. Lather your chicken in the marinade, and add in a little mixed herbs, but this is optional, but I'm telling you, you won't regret it as it gives an aroma to your dish that makes you drool. Oh yums. Just a dash of it will do, don't need so much, like about a teaspoon. I also added in a dash of white pepper for taste as well. But again, it's optional. I just like unique flavours in my cooking.

Leave the chicken marinade to set for at least 30 minutes. The longer the better, so that the taste would be stronger. Heat up your pan. Don't use so much oil, just about 1 tablespoon. Then you add in your garlic. After which, you just pour the whole marinated chicken in a pan. Slow cook the chicken on low heat. Occasionally turn flip the chicken, and then cover the pan with a lid. So that the chicken would be throughly cooked. Repeat this flipping process like twice for each side of the chicken. Afterwhich, your dish is ready to be served! So easy right? You're welcome. Haha.

#20 Kerepek Bayam

Hellllooo~! Okay this recipe was adapted from the cooking show "Dapur Bujang" by Chef Fendi. I just loveee that show! You guys should really watch it, which is readily available on YouTube by the way, as he teaches super simple recipes for learners. Amazingly, he commented on my picture yesterday on Instagram when I posted a picture of my groceries for this recipe. I was super happy as I always told my mum, I wouldn't mind marrying this guy coz he is hilarious and is a great cook. Fendi noticed me.... *dreaming* hahah alright let's start cooking!

I made some improvisation to the recipe as all he put in was salt and sugar, so I think there's a lack of flavour.

Ingredients:

Round Spinach (any amount you want)
Rice Flour
Water
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Pepper
1 teaspoon Chicken Stock

Instructions:

Pluck the leaves of the spinach as we won't be using the stems. You can use that for other dish. Or just eat it like that like Popeye. No lah just kidding. Haha.

Then You add the flour in a mixing bowl (just use spoon will do), and add water bit by bit, until you get a thick watery mixture, some sort like a milkshake texture. Then you add in a pinch of salt, sugar, pepper and the chicken stock. Well this amount varies with the amount of flour you are using. I didn't make much thus I didn't need so much salt etc.

Then you heat up some oil in a flat frying pan (not a wok), dip your spinach leaves in the batter, and fry it in the hot oil until crispy. Yes! It's as simple as that! Repeat the step over and over again! All the best!

#19 Asam Rebus Batang Keladi

Okay so for the next recipe. IT IS SO SIMPLE I COULD JUST CLOSE MY EYES WHILE COOKING IT! Haha well not action lah.. but it's really easy. This is also another request from my colleague.

 

Ingredients:

1 onion (blended)
About 10 dried chillies (boiled and blended)
Some anchovies (up to you how much you want)
Grab a handful of tamarind
Batang keladi (gasak lah aku tak tau English cakap ape. Haha!)
1 teaspoon Salt
Water
1 tablespoon belacan

 

Instructions:

 

First and foremost, boil the batang keladi until it looks quite soft. This batang keladi can only be found at Geylang market by the way. Boil about 10 minutes or so at low heat

 

Drain the water from the pot. You will be using the same pot. Then in a bowl, you mix the tamarind with water, and then pour JUST the tamarind water in the pot, until it fills half of the pot. If it's not half yet, keep adding water to the same bowl of tamarind, and repeat process. I repeated thrice for the size of my pot. Once you get the water level, put it on the stove on medium heat.

 

Then you put in the anchovies chilli, onion, salt and belacan. Yeah just dump it all in. Haha. It is seriously that easy. Just let it boil under medium heat for about 10 minutes or so, and you are good to go. Some people prefer this dish to be sweet so you can add 1 tablespoon sugar. But I don't like it sweet. Happy trying!

 

#18 Siput Sedut Goreng Kicap

Yo! So today I have 2 recipes to share with you guys. Very simple recipes. 1st one would be siput sedut goreng kicap. I am cooking this as my friend who is a breast cancer patient who is going for an operation this Thursday requested for it.

 

She's like my mum, my bestfriend, my everything at work. It saddens me to see her in pain. So I told her she can name anything in the world she wants to eat and I will cook for her. So here goes!

 

Well to prepare the siput sedut you have to cut its ends using pliers. This was, however, done by my dad. Haha. Oops.

 

Ingredients:

 

1kg Siput Sedut (with ends cut)
1 medium sized onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic
8 tablespoons of blended chilli
1 teaspoon chicken stock
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons dark soya sauce
1 tablespoon sweet dark soya sauce
1 tablespoon sweet soya sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon tomato sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 chilli padi finely chopped
Ground black pepper (up to your preference how much you want)
Corriander finely chopped

 

Instructions:

 

Firstly you must sauté your onion, garlic and blended chilli with some oil in a big wok. Once you see the oil separated from the chilli, you add in all the sauces mentioned at once. Yeah just put them all in no chronological order. Then add in sugar and chicken stock.

 

Then you add in your siput sedut, and stir well, making sure that every siput sedut is covered in sauce. Then add in the finely chopped corriander, black pepper and chilli padi. Stir it up again. Cover the wok with a lid for about 6 minutes to make sure that everything is well cooked. Turn off the heat and you are good to go!

 

Easy right? But my teacher chef was so fierce (my dad) and so strict one hahaha. Oh wells! Happy trying! :D

The End Result

#17 Oreo Cake

Hello hello!

I know, it has been forever since I updated my blog. My bad. I have been cooking, but I haven't been updating, due to laziness and also I thought nobody even read this blog so why bother. Haha. So anyway, this isn't really MY recipe, but it's a simply recipe, for an extremely delicious cake. Strictly for OREO LOVERS! Well I am not a good baker, but when I bake this, it can be gone in a day.

You can find this at certain Value Shop, NTUC Xtra or NTUC finest. I bought mine at NTUC Xtra. It costs about $6.20. Apart from that you would need one small carton of milk (the small HL carton), use the whole thing, and also 4 tablespoons of butter. These steps are stated at the side of the box.

So the thing is, it's better if you use a smaller tray, so your cake would be thicker. But if you don't have, you can use paper cups (for cupcakes). It would be more tedious but easier to eat.

Instructions:

Melt your butter, mix thoroughly with the oreo crush, which is in packet number 1. Make sure it is evenly distributed or your base would just crumble. Nope, not a good sight. And the ones with more butter, will clump. Spread this evenly at the base of your baking tray or cupcake holders. Just a thin layer would do it.

Step 2, mix the packet number 2, with the milk using a mixer. Do not under beat. Beat the thing until it becomes a thick cream. Once you get that texture, open the last bag in the box, which is the broken oreo pieces, take out half of it, and fold it in the mixture. Don't use the mixer. Just use a spatula.

Here comes the tideous part. Spreading the batter on top of the crust. As it is rather thick, while spreading, your crust might just "dislodge" from the base of your tray. This sucks and make sure you fix this problem. Just do it slowly. Doesn't matter if it looks messy, it's nicer that way actually. After the whole crust is covered up, this is when you utilise the remaining oreo pieces in the 3rd packet, just place it anywhere you like it on the cake, and however you want it. Freeze it in the freezer for about 2 hours or so, and you are done. As for mine, I used some heart sprinkles and chocolate rice. To make it more pretty and yummy!

Happy trying!
