Grilled Snapper

Looks like this blog of mine is semi-back in action after such a long hiatus. I have been missing since god knows when
and how often I update is still questionable.

After such a long absence I seems to find the urge to start blogging my pathetic cooking and the recipes I've tried.

Today's dish is a grilled fish. Used up the remaining sweet chili sauce that I bought for the last recipe I posted.
I find the chili sauce too sweet for my liking but it seems to turn out fine once it is mixed with other sauces.



Ingredients :-

• 1 snapper - cut fish 3 time each side
• 2 tbsp grated ginger
• 1 stalk lemon grass - sliced
• 2 cloves garlic - crushed and get the juice.
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil

Method :-

1. Mix the sauce - the garlic juice, lime juice, soy sauce, chili sauce and sesame oil together.
2. Place fish on a foil.
3. Top with ginger and lemon grass.
4. Drizzle the sauce over the fish.
5. Fold the foil over the fish and grill for 25 minutes or until cooked.

Ta.. da... here it is my grilled fish swimming in a pool of sweet, sour and spicy sauce.
Btw I crushed the garlic or I actually 'tumbuk' it until it was paste and rub it all over the fish. Did not bother to squeeze out the juice.

Sticky BBQ Chicken 2

OK... This lazy nonya is back with more lazy cooking. Been cooking just too... what else... lazy to post them. H said that I am more hardworking with my virtual kitchen than the real one.

Of course, my virtual ones are more interesting with no complaining customers. :)))
Plus I get to cook yummy dishes. Actually I don't know why I am so addicted to it. I just am. The rest of the games I am a bit more lacking behind my friends but I am happy with that.

Anyway here is the recipe for this sticky chicken.

Ingredients :-

• 8 chicken thighs
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 clove honey
• 1 tsp ginger - grated
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce.

Method :-

1. Marinate chicken for 3 hours in the fridge or over night.
2. BBQ chicken .
3. Reserve the marinate as basting.
4. Turn chicken every 15 minutes.
5. Brush with the marinate.
6. Cook chicken for about 30 minutes.

Or you would cook it in the oven like I did at 200 Celsius for about 45 minutes.

That's it for tonight's dinner.

Now it is back to my virtual cafe.... here I come !

P.S ...now I am not sure if I had posted this before. Sorry if I had.

Chicken Tikka

Lazy, lazy, lazy.........

That is how I feel these few days. Looking for easy to prepare dishes.
Nothing is as easy as grilling the meat. But first we need to marinate them. So here is the marinade....

Ingredients :-

• 1tbsp minced ginger
• 1tbsp minced garlic
• 1tsp salt
• 1tbsp vinegar
• 1tbsp lime juice
• 1tbsp garam masala
• 3tbsp plain yogurt
• 1 red chili
• 500g chicken breast, cut into bite sized
• 2tbsp oil
• satay sticks, pre-soaked in water for several hours

Method :-

1. Combine chili, lime juice, vinegar, ginger, garlic, salt, garam masala and yogurt in a blender
2. Marinate chicken pieces for 2 hours or overnight.
3. Thread chicken pieces on sticks.
4. Baste the chicken with oil and grill over medium heat until cooked, 10-15 minutes.

The red chili is for some colouring because it was not spicy at all. Of course I did not add in more chilies if I want the 3 boys to eat them.

Yum, yum goes my boys.
