evaelisabethWe had the best dinner yesterday, I recently got a new Cookbook on sale by Kylie Kwong I think it's called Simple Chinese or something like that. I am getting so much mileage out of this thing, I finally learned how to make fried rice properly and I took yesterday's inspiration for dinner out of it.
I used the marinade for a five spice/ginger chicken dish and dunked some thighs and wings into it. Then I baked them at around 175C for about 30 minutes, gave them a blast of 200C for another five minutes or so and they were done. For a veg I sautéed garlic in vegetable oil added a pile of raw broccoli pieces and a cup of water. Closed the lid for a few minutes to let it steam, then I added a few tablespoons of oyster sauce and a tiny bit of rice wine vinegar and sesame oil. I took the veggies out while still crunchy and reduced the sauce for a bit more. Served with plain white rice it tasted amazing especially the broccoli and so easy. Kate was too cute when she wolfed down her chicken wing, she had sauce everywhere and not a shred of flesh was left on those bones.
Something I'm also very please about is that I'm making our yogurt and mayonnaise myself now. It's very very simple and oh so tasty.
