One-Pan Chestnut Chicken Rice 栗子酱油鸡饭【简单一锅熟料理｜一个人的午餐】

A delicious and easy-to-cook one-pan chestnut chicken rice meal made using tender chicken meat and roasted chestnuts. This recipe is for 1 serving, if you're cooking for the whole family, you can cook it in a rice cooker or pressure cooker. 

Ingredients:

中文食谱：请在网页的右边点击Translate,然后选择中文翻译

1 Boneless Chicken Thigh (about 200g)

I removed the chicken fat and skin using this kitchen scissor. When handling raw meat, I'd use a cutting board liner for easy clean-up. 

4 slices Ginger

4 cloves Garlic, minced

1 Shallot, chopped 

50g Roasted Chestnuts 

1/2 cup Rice

1 cup Chicken Broth

Optional: some spring onion for garnishing

Some oil for cooking 

Marinade:

1/2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce 

1 tsp Corn Flour

1 tbsp Oyster Sauce

1/2 tbsp Mirin/ Rice Wine

1/4 tsp Dark Soy Sauce 

Dash of White Pepper

1/4 tsp Sesame Oil

Method:

1. Combine the marinade ingredients and the chicken meat. Let marinate for 30 minutes or overnight. 

2. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in the pan, stir fry ginger, garlic and shallot until aromatic. Add rice and stir fry for a few seconds for the water to evaporate. Add chicken broth, marinated chicken meat and chestnuts. 

I cooked this using Song Cho 16cm frypan, a multi-ply stainless steel pan without chemical coating. It's safe to use in any cooking from low to high heat.

For more information about the product, visit Song Cho e-shop for details.

3. Cover the pan and bring to a boil, reduce to very low heat (I use induction cooker heat level 2) and simmer for 20 minutes. When it's ready, let the rice sit for 10 minutes. Garnish with spring onions and serve warm. Drizzle some sweet soy sauce if you like it more flavourful.

Rose Bandung Flavour Moist Sponge Cake 玫瑰口味海绵蛋糕

A simple cake I made for my son's lunar birthday. Happy 15th birthday, Louis! Thank you for filling my heart with pride and joy. I wish you good health and endless happiness today and always!

It was a last-minute decision to make this cake, just like the past years, I almost forgot his lunar birthday. I wanted to make his favourite Bandung-flavoured cake and decorate it with a cute Quby icing topper. Unfortunately, my Quby topper didn't dry in time, so I ended up using fresh cream frosting and topping the cake with fruits instead.

This is the failed Quby topper >.<

I was a little upset with the cake design, but my son said "It's ok Mommy, the cake looks good and very delicious!". He ate almost half of the cake and then asked me to make another one with the same flavour. He is such a bright light in my heart. Have the happiest birthday, my sweet boy!

Method: 步骤

1. Mix (A) in a bowl, stir in (B) to form a dough and continue to knead for 15 minutes or until the dough is glossy and smooth.
将所有材料搅拌成团，揉15分钟或至面团光滑有弹性。

2. When the dough is ready, transfer the dough onto the tabletop. Take a small portion of dough and knead in some charcoal powder. Portion out the remaining dough, knead each individual dough into round shape. If the dough is too dry, add some milk when kneading the dough.

把揉好的面团先割出一小份加少许碳粉做黑面团，剩下的面团分割后每份搓圆。如果面团太干可加少许牛奶。

3. Wrap in char siu fillings. Repeat for all buns. Shape the bun as desired. Brush some milk on the bun to attach the facial details. You can refer here for detailed method.包入叉烧馅料。分别造型。详细做法可参考这里。

4. Let it proof for about 50 minutes or double in size and steam on high for 15 minutes. When it's done, turn off the heat, do not open the lid/ cover. Let the steamed buns rest in the steamer for 5 minutes before removing the buns from the steamer.

做好造型后发酵50分钟或双倍大。放进蒸炉大火蒸15分钟。 蒸好后熄火，待5分钟才开盖把包子拿出。待凉后即可享用。若喜欢我的食谱，可以LIKE和追随我的面书专页，不要错过最新食谱发布。
