Patting dry the chicken before marinating gives you the crispy chicken skin on the outside during roasting. It is a great dish to serve on days when you want to leave the chicken in the oven and just get on with your errands. The bacon gives a nice smoky taste to the skin so do not add too much salt in the marinade.
This is a sweet and savory chicken macaroni that requires so little effort. I made this during the last 10-minute before I had to run out of the house to pick the kids. The evaporated milk makes the soup so creamy and savory, the kids couldn't resist having the 2nd bowl. This dish can also be cooked in a thermal pot or on stove top. Add more water if you are cooking this dish on stove-top to prevent the soup from drying out.
This rice cooker pumpkin rice dish is really easy to cook and the minced dried shrimps adds a fragrant umami twist to the dish. Cooking it in a rice cooker saves time and allows busy mothers to be throwing ingredients into the rice cooker and running off for errands.
Requiring only chicken and onions, (the marinades are staples in my kitchen), this recipe makes it a easy dish to cook when I haven't got the time to replenish groceries from the market. The sauce is savory and goes well with rice or porridge. It's a big hit with my kids who loves the sauce that they were trying to drink the sauce!
No frills dish that my kids love to bits. On days when I'm short of time, this is my go-to dish as it's easy to prepare and I don't even have to marinade the chicken before cooking. Skip the marinating part if you are pressed for time and just put all the ingredients(except the eggs) into a thermal pot and you can leave the house for errands. Perfect dish for working moms!
I cook this in the steamer tray in my rice cooker so that it cooks with the rice at the same time. It saves me the hassle of having to take out another pot to steam and wash. I remember fondly of the Chinese wax sausage as a nostalgia food that my grandfather used to cook for us a lot when we were kids as it can be kept in the freezer for months and defrosted really quickly.
Savory and aromatic, this braised chicken dish is suitable for both pressure cookers and stove tops. I put all the ingredients into the slow cooker and I run out for errands and days when I'm too busy to be watching the stove.
Sweet and savory curry dish that is always a big hit with the kids. Diced the vegetables according to age(finely diced for younger children, cut into sections for older children). My son is a picky eater and he would pick out the vegetables but I always diced the vegetables into smaller cubes that I can mash up before he can pick it out from his plate.
