Some of you may be wondering how does chili padi looks like or the type that I'm using.. Here it goes the pics for your reference.



Let's move on to the very first condiments: -

Chili Padi Kicap @ Bird eye chili with sweet soya sauce



(This condiments is best for noodles like Mee Soto/Soto Ayam/Porridge & also for dippings for fried fish & also beef lungs (paru)

Ingredients:-
Handful of bird eye chili @ chili padi
Few cloves of garlic
Salt & Sugar to taste
Sweet soya sauce

Methods: -
- Blend all the above ingredients together in your food processor/blender.

PS: I don't use lime/calamansi juice as it will gv the sourish tangy taste aft some time which I dont fancy. If you prefer, you can add abit of calamansi/lime juice in it.

Happy trying !!! :)

Simply Quicky Dinner

Hi dearies,

Here I'm again as promised, I'm updating & uploading all my post dated pics cum recipes. I have made this 2 weeks ago for my dinner.. Been wanting to go western once a while rather than sticking to our staple food on regular meals that's RICE

Enough of talking, let's move on to the easy simple quicky recipe. I've named it as -

Quicky Grilled Chix with Mushroom sauce



Ingredients: -
Chicken breast meat (de-bone it)
Salt & Pepper
Olive Oil
Lemon zest & juice

Mushroom sauce:
Mc Cormick's mushroom gravy (instant in pkt)
Button mushroom (you can opt for type of mushroom)
Pepper to taste

Optional:
Garden salad/Mix greens with thousand island/Coleslaw/Grilled seasonal veggies

Methods: -
- Marinade the chicken for atleast an hour. Grill them till its cooked, tender & juicy.
- Cut the button mushroom according to your individual preference. Whereas I prefer to cut it
thinly
- Make the sauce as per the instruction on the pkt. Then add in the mushroom & dash of
pepper. It will takes abt 5 mins to have a complete sauce.
- Serve the grilled chicken with the mushroom sauce on it with salad as the sides. You can have
mac cheese if some of u preferred.
