Recipe • Steamed Chicken with Shiitake

On  those busy days, especially when the school tests and exams are approaching,
I have to step on the "cooking brake" and focus more on revising with Lil K. But also cannot don't cook for the entire week, right? #MotherWorries
There are also those days during the school holidays whereby we'll be out for playdates or on days when I simply don't wanna do any major wipe down of the kitchen!
Dishes like this Steamed Chicken with Shiitake will be perfect.
Marinate the meat in the morning and leave it in the fridge. Cook a simple soup and leave in the thermal pot. When it's dinner time, I can just shout "Open Rice lah!" 😃😃😃

Recipe • The Very Versatile Anchovy Soup Stock!

Image
I cook chinese style vegetable soup pretty often. It's a good way to increase the kids' vegetables intake and convenient for days when I only whip up a soup and meat dish. Most importantly, the boys love drinking their soup when it's cooked with this stock! This stock is suitable for many types of Chinese soup, example: Chinese Spinach meatballs/fishballs soup Wolfberry Leaves egg drop soup Yong Tau Foo soup Cabbage soup Shrimp-Pork dumplings soup Winter Melon soup & Cai Xin or Xiao Bai Cai soup too! I often get queries on what is the soup base when I post photos of such soup, so I think it's high time I give this delicious and versatile soup base its own space in this blog! Also, I hope my own kids will get to follow this recipe here and cook their favorite "mummy's soup" in future and be able to reminisce the taste of their childhood!
