Veggie Rice
Shopping for this was fun. I just bought some of everything since veggies are pretty cheap and you ca buy like a single stalk of celery or a small head of broccoli. Checking out was funny. The checker did not know her produce codes and i had like 11 different things.
The rice was a bit too soft. I should have drain my veggies first or dried it out more.
Taste 3/5
Difficulty 2/5
i manage to recyle this baby the next day. I think i might be on to something. It sorta reminds me of turnip cake, a few modifications and it will be fabulous.
Take rice and smash into a patty, fry until golden brown.
Taste 3.8/5
Difficulty 2/5

I did not have nut meg and i added some cheeder and mozerella.
I was shocked that the veggies were not soggy, though i did forgot to put in the celery and carrots until right before i added the tomato. Still they cooked for an hour. Must have something to do with low simmering...
Roast chicken with potatos
taste:4/5
difficulty: 1/5
Simple and delicous way to enjoy chicken.
Preheat oven to 450F
Wash and dry a whole chicken. Remove any acess fat. Make sure the chicken is nice and dry(so it doesn't steam in the oven). Season with about 1-2 tbs of salt depending on the size of your chicken. Use proper judgment, season thicker areas like the breast and thighs more heavily than wings. Season with pepper to your liking.
Cut up some potatoes of your choice into 1 in cubes. Coat with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place chicken on a baking sheet and surround it with your potatos.
Bake for 50-60 mins. Watch your bird, and rotate it to ensure even coloring if required. Don't baste the chicken.
Let the chicken rest of 15 minutes before cutting. Catch the dripping with your potatos, yum+4.
duck somen
Taste 4/5* really depends on how good your bbq duck is
difficult 1/5
Move over Sam Woo! The bbq duck here at Ding Hao( chinese place across the street) kicks ass. Taking some left over duck from lunch i made this duck noodle.
1 can of chicken broth
1 tbs oyster sauce
1 tbs soy
as much duck as you want
as much somen as you want
Duck fat is one of those things that you shouldn't eat but is soo tasty. So whenever i eat duck i have a habit of removing the layer of fat right under the skin, but keeping the skin. The skin is where most of the flavor is anyways, plus there shoudl still be a some fat on it.
