In one of my previous posts, Drumsticks was asking me for lessons on cooking. Well, for beginners, I think Chinese cooking would be the easiest…and fastest and anybody can do it if he or she gives it a try. LOL!!! And you should pay attention too, Melbie!!! Humph!!! What do you mean you are too lazy? Hahahahahahaha!!!!
Well, yesterday I cooked this simple chicken dish. I marinated the chicken in soy sauce and added a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of sesame oil. Then I cut four thin slices of ginger, heated a bit of oil in the wok and threw in the ginger. Keep stirring till the slices have turned a bit brown, then put in the chicken. Keep turning the pieces over and over to coat them in the simmering soy sauce. Never mind that the sauce is starting to stick to the wok. After a while, add water. Stir the water to dissolve the soy sauce that has stuck to the wok and leave it to simmer…until it dries up and you have only a little bit of thick soy sauce gravy left. Now it is ready to serve. This was what I had in the end…and it was nice! No salt and no msg!!!
Then I also cooked a vegetable dish – French beans! I usually cut them thinly and diagonally. Take two cloves of garlic, peel and chop them into tiny fine bits. Heat a bit of oil in the wok, throw in the garlic and saute until golden brown and then, put in the French beans. Add a teaspoon of chicken/ikan bilis (anchovies) stock…and a bit of water. Keep stir-frying till the beans are cooked…and this is what you will get.
Normally, I would break an egg and stir it into the veg for additional flavour…but my mother has developed an allergy to eggs, so I did not do that yesterday.
And if you’re one of those who must have soup with your meals, there are many easy-to-prepare clear soups in Chinese cooking, but maybe you would like to try this one…
Just follow the instructions on the packet, and this is the secret! Add a tablespoon of dark soy sauce…and when the soup is ready, you will get something like sharks’ fins soup, minus the sharks’ fins which is fine, consideriing that the fish is endangered and many activists will be cursing and swearing at you for eating that! Make sure you keep stirring the soup though and turn down the fire once you have brought it to boil or it will overflow and stick to the bottom of the saucepan as well.
So, ladies…now it’s over to you. But before I sign off from this post, I received something from that old Cock(a) via email and I would like to share it with everybody. Well, Clare did a bit of pole dancing recently (I thought that is something they do at places like Patpong in Bangkok? LOL!!!), so being the kiasu fella that I am, imagine me doing that as well…
ROTFLMAO!!! Have a nice day!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS! 
Hey… I said I’m lazy, not that I can’t cook simple dish like these 😛 I told you before I can only prepare simple dishes right?? LOL…

Hahahahaha!!! Tot some of u would find that funny! I did!!!
Pole dancing can earn a lot of money wei. Don’t pray pray! Wah, the ka ch’ng can kiap the pole wan ar, I have a hard time holding the whole circumference of the pole with my hand ler! Power butt! LOL! 😀
Yalor! Memang lihai one!!! Sure multiple…!!! Wah!!! Ur hand so small kah?………Hahahahahaha!!!!
You enjoy your coffee ya.. We go to CAP KUDA factory in Kolombong when you are here ..make your own blend ok..I prefer their traditional recipe.
aiya..agree with all that pixs too small. Would be nice if as big as the pole dancer..btw the dancer support the pole or vice versa…
Pics small…or old man eyesight not good liao!!! Hahahahahaha!!!! Don’t want coffee, lazy to brew! Just take Nescafe, ok liao!!!
make pasta counted as cooking? like you buy sauce from outside.. all you do is just heat and mix them up… your chicken wings look easy to make.. fine.. better get down to doing it. and yeah… that pole dancing pic… vomit.. hahaha
OK lah…as long as your dahling ok with it. If he’s the “way to a man’s heart is thru is stomach”, then u’re in trouble! Hahahahahahaha! Why disgusting leh? Nice mah! Soft, soft like Dunlopillo!….LOL!!!
Just got back from grocery shopping. so inspired by yr satay receipe, bought me Brahim one, no wee’s.good or not? My friend’s son also allergy to eggs, till she bought either organic or free range, no harm trying that option. I used to be sceptical abt the differences btw normal n organic/FR till she told me. Actually i find western easier to cook but hubby likes cina style, kids like western, sometimes i fusion, n i wonder if i m operating a cafe having to cook different dishes to please everyone!as for pole dancing, maybe u will be good at holding the pole instead n the pole dancers can just dance around u!LOL!
Brahims…ok lah!…Ya, no choice as wife and mother! But you can teach them to cook their own mah!!!…..The dancers will take a long time to go one round, sure pengsan!!! Hahahahahaha!!!
Oooh! So that’s how you get a shark fins soup minus the sharks fin. I will give that a try. The pole dancing – gross, maybe you can do better : )
It’s nice…but a bit too much msg to my liking, and if add more water, not thick anymore. So take once in a while, ok lah!….My problem is my arms not long enough to reach the pole, my tummy gets in the way! Hahahahahahaha!!!!!
The chicken dish looks good! At first I thought you did bbq chicken haha! Looks so dry mar. I love chicken dish with thick gravy. Eh, eat too much chicken wings boobs get bigger.. LOL!
I heard that after the taxi driver affair in KL many years ago, they now inject the chickens in the neck. You’ve been eating a lot of chicken wings, izzit? 😀
My problem is my arms not long enough to reach the pole, my tummy gets in the way!
Er.. can you hold your kukujiao then? Or you let it free 😛
Are you volunteering? 😉
Why is the pole in the crack of that person’s ass? I never understand the allure of pole dancing. Apart from maybe the pole being phallic, it’s just a stainless less rod! Ermmmmm……. LOL!
Think I’m having cucumber sambal belacan for dinner tonite. Yums!

When u say u were going to have something “naughtier”, I was thinking it might be X-rated, hehe! But it’s just another chicken joke, like er that picture of a man with big cock that had been circulating in the young days of the Internet.. 😉
I never saw that! Just had internet access this year…and previously used to surf in my workplace, so had to discrete! Come! You post and I go to ur blog and see! Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Back to yesterday’s class….you are so so so right. Some teachers are already telling their students that Osama bin Laden is running for USA President for the Democrats..in reference to the Obama/Biden ticket..joke joke joke
At least that’s pretty close!!!…Some can’t even give the names of all the Malaysian PMs, believe it or not! And they wonder why they failed the interview!
Pacik, can’t send you the pix or post on my site. It was all the rage some years ago and if you google using those words, u wld find the pix — which is of a man walking with a giant sized cockerel on a leash, if I remember correctly!
A cockerel?…Chesh! For a while, I thought you’re a hardcore auntie!!! Hahahahaha!!!! This pakcik’s stuff is child’s play in comparison! LOL!!
O.o gross ! A grotesque photo in a food blog. The readers are so going to be sick.. someone fetch me a basin !… haha
Wei! Don’t you see the same thing everytime I’m writing on the board!!! Hahahahahahaha!!!!!
