~ seeking peace spice by spice by spice
What’s there not to like? Crispy whole battered chicken thigh, checked. Fried egg, checked. Sweet sambal and caramelised onions, checked. Fresh crunchy cucumbers, checked. We love nasi lemak, and we love burgers too so macdonalds did great by combining the two.
Friends have been recommending this to me for months and finally, I decided to get one. It was the best thing ever! Of course I was a bit cautious and only got the 2l version. But if ever I have no choice but to cook every single day, I would so buy the bigger pot.
My first try was making chicken porridge. I added too little rice to the broth and hence had a very thin porridge. My second try was barley water since The Boy was ill. And unfortunately today, he was stull unwell and so I made plain porridge.
I will be continuing to experiment with recipes using this thermal pot but in the meantime, I am just so sold by this that I am doing a shoutout to whoever invented this fabulous cookware.
i got the la gourmet 2 litre pot
in the inner pot boil chicken bones, bay leaves, carrots and then remove add rice
cover and place the inner pot inside the outer one. close and lock.
after four or five hours later flavourful chicken porridge albeit too thin
boil barley and water, add sugar
after a few hours in the thermal pot and voila! freshly made barley drink!
eaten with a bit of fried ikan bilis/anchovies
plain porridge. rice water and salt
1. I added too much water
2. It is still hot but not crazily hot
3. The more you eat, the more the heat creeps
I will try eating this again but try remove the water and then add the hot chilli paste directly over the cooked noodles. Shudder.
look at how huge the noodles are
i followed how the koreans eat by adding a slice of cheese on it
Texas BBQ Seasoning from Walmart. I bought sooo many for my wonderful colleagues. I wished I had bought more.
Mixed with a little bit of olive oil, these huge chicken drums were fabulous!
