Chef Ak in action - Ginger Mushroom Chicken

Today I decided to cook ginger mushroom chicken for my housemate and a few friends of mine. When I sms them, some are rather surprise of the invitation.



Ginger Mushroom Chicken
1. Crush 2 pcs of ginger and mixed with oyster, sesame oil, dark and light soy sauce
2. Marinate the chicken with above. (The longer the better)
3. Fry garlic with preheated oil to fragrant
4. Pour in the marinated chicken and stir fry evenly for 10 minutes
5. Add in chunk of potatoes and soak mushroom
6. Transfer all to claypot and let it simmer low heat for 20 minutes

Steam Eggs with Mince Pork
1. Mixed sesame oil, light soy sauce, pepper, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar in small bowl
2. Marinate it with minced pork and crush ginger for 20minutes.
3. Cut filament crabstick
4. Steam for 20 minutes or more depending on the heat.



(Blue Lake Bush)O kui tou with Eggs
1. Fry garlic and dried shrimp to fragrant
2. Add in cut Blue Lake Bush (sounds funny) chilies and stir fry for 10 minutes.
3. Beat the eggs into the wok and continue to stir fry for another 5 minutes.
4. Add in salt to taste.



Sambal Anchovy (Ikan Bilis)
1. Fry Ikan Bilis until it turn brown
2. Add in garlic and onion
3. Stir fry for 5 minutes with chili paste and water.

ABC Soup
1. Cut 2 tomatoes into 8 slices
2. Add 6 slices of Szechuan veg
3. Add in anchovy
4. Pork rib is a must
5. Boiled in pot for 20 minutes and simmer in slow cooker for 30 minutes or more.
6. Add salt to taste

My friends told me that the ginger smell from the chicken is too strong thus covering the mushroom smells. Most of them prefer the ginger to be in slice form and not crush or minced. Somehow I still prefer crush ginger maybe because my mum used to cook in this way.
