Rice Pot Wonder #2!

As i promised before,
i continued to explore the potential dishes
that i can make with my microwavable rice cooker : )

Are you ready for this? : D

Minced beef --
marinated in curry powder, salt,
pepper, onion powder......



Meanwhile, i submerged the rice into coconut milk,
water and a tiny bit of sesame oil : )



Sorry, the photo came out a bit disgusting...
i added coconut milk to the marinated beef too : )



When the rice is half cooked,
i added the beef, shallots, seaweed,
peanut butter, and a little water into the pot : )

15 minutes later...
TAAAA DAAAAA!!!!!



Yeah, i suppose it's a bit Thai inspired!
hehe... ok perhaps except the seaweed : b

Probably due to the coconut milk / beef / peanuts,
this is quite a filling dish ; )
Very economical and satisfying!
ENJOY!

Childhood comfort food

Last week, I got a pretty nasty cold : /
With minimal strength & low spirit,
i simply whipped up an easy lunch box,
with materials found in the fridge / cabinet.













I remember back in 4th Grade in HK,
Fafa already started educating me how to feed myself --
Granted, most of those microwavable packages
weren't all that spectacular,
I was well fed & somewhat fat... 0_o"

I'm not instant-food-crazy as some HK people are,
but I don't hate them either.
They kinda bring back fond memories,
& serve somewhat as comfort food.

Why am i talking about all these?
Coz I found a package of the Japanese curry 'brick,'
the kind that I used all the time back then : )
& used it to create a simple vegetarian dish over rice:













Being a 100% meat-lover,
obviously I'm not too thrilled with veggies alone.
However, curry brings out a lot of flavor,
and makes all the differences in the world! : D

For this one, i simply sauteed spinach, mushrooms,
Japanese yam cake & onions with salt, pepper
& sesame oil (all the basic ingredients);
dump the curry bricks in, stir the pot,
Pour the mixture over rice -- TAAA DAAAA! : )

So easy that everybody should be able to do it!

* then again, I think it'd taste heavenly...
if only there's meat!
(Look at that picture on the box!)
MmMMMMmmm... till next time.
