Lunch - Homemade pork and veggies

My all time favorouties, stir fried french bean with prawns

Deep fried cauliflower.

For the batter:

- Plain flour

- Salt

- Egg

- Water (depends how thick you want it to be)

Vietnamese style caramel pork

Use vietnam seasoning of some coconut and sauce marinate. Just pour that and I added a bit of sugar, sweet soy sauce and dark soy sauce.

The pork supposed to be kinda sticky with a little sauce. I haven't really get the pork to be very soft, but it is softer than the last time haha

Lunch - Homemade Claypot Chicken Rice

Attempted to cook claypot chicken rice in rice cooker as it seemed easy ...
First, I marinate the chicken overnight (not really necessary I guess, I'm just lazy to do everything together at one go as it will then take a long time hehe) using sesame oil, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar.
The next day, prepare mushroom, chinese sausage, cabbage, dried shrimp, garlic ginger.
Except for cabbage, I stir fry the rest of the ingredients so it is almost cooked (or cooked) :P
Separately, I also prepare chicken stock, using chicken cube.
So when cooking the rice, add water as usual, and put in the stir fried stuff, cabbage, chicken stock into the rice and leave them to cook.

This is the result of it:
Claypot chicken rice. It is tasty and fragrant :) Next time I will improve on the color to make it darker :p

I also prepared fried onion and cut chili with soy sauce to eat with the rice.

Served and ready to eat!

Dessert - Homemade White Fungus Soup

Went to look for white fungus as it is said to have good benefits: it is said to be effective in nourishing the lungs, and contains collagen to firm the skin. It is also a mild laxative for constipation patients.

It's nicknamed the "Poor Man's Bird Nest".. :P

So ok.. went to buy it, a few huge fungus for just $2.. :)
Got the idea of cooking it but there is no enough ingredients like gingko nuts, ginseng, lotus nut, longan, rock sugar etc.. So just make do with whatever available at home.. -_-"

First, I soaked the dried white fungus, until it expanded.. then cut them into bite sized..
Then, I boil the chrysanthemum flowers first to get the base of the soup taste, then add wolfberry, red dates..
Put in the sugar and white fungus in and let it boil a little more..
After turning off the fire, I put in rose bud and cover the pan ..

The whole process, from the soaking is quite fast.. about 30-45 min hehe

Here is my first attempt to make it.. Will improve the next time when I have all the ingredients :P
