Chicken Rice

Sunday already ... there must be a day between Saturday and Sunday.  We had breakfast with MIL at Tekka Market.  Booooy was she famous ... met a few of her friends from table to table... 

As usual I had my thosei, teh-O ice and tebu with lemon (this one not so happening) ...  We went marketing to stock up before CNY.  Everyone worries that there won't be enough food over the long weekend. After that MIL went kai-kai and me waited for the boss to finish his shaving  .... what's left of it. 

Anyway dinner was chicken rice as we had guests ... I love guests so they can be my guinea pig.  Hahahha .... I try to use less or no oil in my cooking and other method of cooking ... for health sake ... slowly but surely changing ....

Kailan with Oyster Sauce

Serves 4
Ingredients
200 grams of medium sized Kai-lan

Sauce:
1 small shallot, thinly slices (best to remain in rings for better presentation)
1 clove of garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons of light soy sauce
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Small pinch of salt and pepper

1 teaspoon of sesame oil
2 tablespoons of oyster sauce

Method
1) Wash and soak whole leavy Kailan vegetables in lightly salted water for 15 minutes. Boil a medium pot of water over high flame. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar (add more if your pot is large). Blanch Kailan in the boiling water for 1 – 2 minute, or once the leaves appear darker green in colour. Drain on a strainer and place nicely on a serving dish.

2) Heat wok with vegetable oil on medium heat, stir-fry shallot and garlic till fragrant and browned. Reduce heat to low fire when shallot and garlic are lightly browned to allow standing time. Sprinkle salt and pepper, followed by light soy sauce (beware of its sizzling effect by the mixture of hot oil and light soy sauce). Heat off and immediately pour onto the vegetables. Top sesame oil and oyster sauce. Serve.
