A Simple Dinner

I am now on a "restricted" mode when it comes to doing any housework, so most of the meals that I cook now are really simple and almost effortless dishes. We had steamed chicken with ginger and stir fried vegetables for dinner. This is the first time hubby cooked a vege dish (well, the other dish he did was onion omelet long time ago ;p). It was fun to cook together and I hope we can do this more often :)




Steamed Chicken with Ginger

Ingredients:
Chicken (cut into medium size pieces)
Ginger (cut into thin strips - I prefer young ginger)
Garlic (chopped)
Salt
Sesame Oil

Method:
1. Rub the chicken with a little salt.
2. Arrange the chicken on a plate and sprinkle garlic and ginger over it.
3. Drizzle about 1 tbsp of sesame oil over it.
4. Steam till cooked (I put it on a rice cooker steamer and cook it together with the rice).





Stir Fried Yau Mak Vegetables

Ingredients:
Yau Mak
Garlic (chopped)
Salt
Oyster Sauce

Water

Method:
1. Heat a little oil in a wok and saute garlic till fragrant.
2. Add in the vegetables and stir fry for a while.
3. Season with oyster sauce and a little salt to taste.
4. Stir to mix well. Add a little water if too dry.
5. Dish up when it boils.
