Salmon Rosemary Oven Bake

Instead of heating up the pan, stir frying on the wok, today I decided to make a clean cook. You must be wondering what and why is it clean cook, as for me it means I don’t have to clean the stove and the sides of the stove. Stir frying on the pan, the sizzling oil would be sizzling all over outside my pan as well. So I would have to clean up and wipe the stove and the sides of the stove. Washing the pan and the spatula.

So you can imagine how tired I am today after doing all the other house chores. So just make double foil on the oven pan, once its cooked, just remove the whole piece of aluminum foil. Wonderful?

Ingredients 

2 pieces salmon, 5cm each piece

6-8 baby carrots

1 spring onion

3 cloves garlic

Aluminium foil (cooking grade) at least 20cm x 15cm

3 tablespoon olive oil
Salt

Prepare and cook

Chop garlics to small cubes

Cut spring onions to 2-3cm

Put 3 tablespoon olive oil in bowl

Roll Fish in bowl both side

Sprinkle rosemary and dash of salt on both side of fish

Place fish on foil

Put in baby carrots

Add slice garlic on top of salmon

Pour in balance olive oil on top of fish

Bake in oven 220-230 Deg for about 20 minutes

Check on fish in oven in case it really burns

Garnish with spring onions

Ready to serve

Pan Fry Cod wit Sautee Mushroom and Carrots

 Cooking fish without oil will usually makes the fish stick to your wok. This time, it is an exceptional case for me. I am cooking cod fish without adding any oil because the cod fish itself is very oily. So let’s cook with this natural fish oil. Once you start cooking, the oil will be flowing out. About another minute you will hear those sizzling sound, smells good?

If u like the raw crunchy carrots then you can fry them together with the mushroom. I like it more cooked carrots, so I am frying the carrots earlier then mushroom.

Ingredient

1 slice Cod Fish

8 pieces of button mushroom

Half a carrot

Prepare and cook

Heat pan for a minute, place in cod without oil

Remove the fish

Fry carrots and mushroom

Add dash of salt, garlic parshley powder

Add 3 tablespoon of water

Tau Eu Chicken – Black Soy Sauce Chicken

This dish has been a favorite to many, from young to old for many generations. Many people would never get bored with this dish for lunch and for dinner. If you use kampong chicken, you will have to boil for almost 2 hours else the meat would be too hard. If you use normal chicken, boil 1- 1.5 hours max else your chicken will be too soft. This delicious Tau Eu chicken may take some time to cook but you could just have this one dish with everything in it and need not cook another dish for the day. All in one pot.

While boiling the chicken, I was already thinking about the Tau Eu (Soy sauce) mixing up with my white rice! Absolutely delicious!

If you plan on adding more side dishes like the following:-

Potatoes – add in 30 minutes before serving,

Lettuce – add in 2 minutes before serving.

Boiled Eggs – 30minutes before serving.

Pick one? Pick all? Suit yourself.

Bacon Egg Sandwich

There are times we go to cafes for brunch, might probably cost MYR30 a plate. They would serve us two slices of bread, two bacon, scramble eggs, mushrooms and two big tablespoons of bake beans. Sounds delicious? Yeah, I would take everything except bake beans. It is just not my favorite, I would probably take 1 or 2 out of a spoonful of beans. Let’s just say, 5 items means MYR6 for each, there goes the 6 for the bake beans. Since I have just bought some bacons from the supermarket, it would be our simple brunch without bake beans. Yummy!

Ingredients

4 slices bread

4 eggs

4 slices bacon

Prepare and cook

Put bread on pan heat it for about 2 minutes

Fry Bacon without oil -2 minutes

Scramble eggs x 2

Ready to serve

You could also add a slice of butter on the pan before you heat your bread to make it smell better, but not for me because I would feel a little bit greasy on my fingers. So it is just personal preference. I like it dry.
