Steamed cake

-
This morning I woke up realising I forgot to buy bread for breakfast and wondered what should I do? Because I have five types of medicine to take every morning, I try to take them before going to work. It is such a hassle every morning but I have no choice. (>_<) Suddenly saw an old post-it note on my fridge with the steamed cake recipe and so I made it for breakfast!

Ingredients
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
2 Tbsp milk
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp oil

Recipe
1. Measure flour and baking powder and put them in a mixing bowl.
2. In another bowl, put in the egg, milk honey and oil. Use a fork or whisk to mix well.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients.
4. Use a spatula to mix well. Do not overmix. Just ensure it is well combined.
5. Steam for about 10 minutes or until toothpick comes clean when poked.

I used sugar last time when I first try steaming cake but I find that it is dry. Honey gives the cake a very nice moist texture. You can always add raisins or vary the ingredients to come up with more variations! :) This recipe makes only 3 cupcakes. You might want to double if you want to make more.

Lightly season with some salt and pepper. Turn off the fire. 4. Scoop the rice up and lay on...

Fried silver fish

Recently I went out for dinner and ordered silver fish fried rice but it was served a tiny portion on the fried rice. I wished I could refill the silver fish. Haha So I bought a packet of dried silver fish from the supermarket under dried goods section and decided to try making it! I am so glad my first attempt worked out well. Ingredient Dried silver fish Recipe 1. Soak the dried silver fish in water for a few minutes and drain the water. Repeat this step again if you wish to reduce the saltiness. 2. Transfer to a dry dish and pat off the moisture using kitchen towel. Don't have to dry thoroughly just remove most of the moisture. 3. Heat up oil in the pot using medium flame. I used just enough oil to cover a layer of silver fish. Check if the oil is hot enough. I test the temperature by dropping one small fish in. If it is sizzling, then the oil is ready. 4. Put all the silver fish into the pot to fry. The fry process is about 5 minutes or so. You will see the oil si...

My favourite dish to eat during confinement was stir fry pork slices in ginger. Simple yet appetizing. Just need pork and ginger from the kitchen and you get a super yummy dish to go with rice. Ingredients   200g lean pork  1 ginger knob  Marinade   White pepper  Soy sauce  Sesame oil  Cornstarch  Sauce   1 Tbsp oyster sauce  1 Tbsp light soy sauce  1 tsp dark Soy sauce 4-5 Tbsp water  Sugar  Chinese cooking wine  Recipe   1. Cut the lean pork into thin slices. (Tip: you can start slicing when the pork is semi-thawed. It is easier to cut.)  2. Marinate the pork slices using the marinade stated above.  3. Cut the ginger into pieces (or slices if you don’t mind eating it). Prepare the sauce in a bowl using the ingredients stated except for sugar and Chinese cooking wine.  4. Heat up the wok.
