Post #45

i "cooked" for myself tonight. i actually wont post what i "cooked" tonight but i just wanted to share my findings! i had some leftover ma po tofu in the fridge but no rice. as it takes time to cook rice, i was looking around the kitchen searching for alternatives. something thats kinda like rice which i can eat with to finish off the ma po tofu. and i ended up making couscous. it worked surprisingly good especially the dollop of xo sauce i added in the end! haha. my lazy attempt ended up to be quite an OK meal for one. :)

now, back to proper posting.

i ran out of cooking ideas on the weekend. usually i would have had a good idea of exactly what i want to cook before i go grocery shopping. but this time, i was just wondering in the chinese grocery shop and ended up picking some oyster mushrooms and button mushrooms. with some beef and leftover fresh cream at home, i'll just cook a simple stir fry using oyster sauce - the good old reliable oyster sauce when you run out of ideas~!


-Beef and mixed mushrooms in creamy oyster sauce-

this time, apart from using the normal garlic and eschallot to start the wok, i chucked in some of the white part of the shallot, chopped diagonally, and i found that added a lot more flavours! will save them up from now on and wont waste them on garnishing!!
