My cooking adventures!XD

I actually got bored of eating instant noodles almost everyday for lunch so I sort of explored my kitchen for some stuff that I could work with!I am not a chef and I never cook often either!

I call the first dish Carrot-ti!XD
The yellow lighting in my dining area makes the spaghetti look orange...

Ingredients:
-as much spaghetti as you want!(but I am cooking for myself only so serving is for 1 person)
-cooking oil(I use this oil instead cause I don't have olive oil)
-1 carrot(chopped into pieces)
-1 tomato(chopped into pieces)
-some chopped garlic
-some chopped shallots(small onions)
-salt,mixed herbs & black pepper
-Mushroom Oyster sauce

Steps:
1.Cook your spaghetti according to the instructions on the packet.Once spaghetti is cooked well,drain it but leave some of the liquid behind.
2.Heat the pot and pour 2 teaspoons of cooking oil and toss in the garlic and shallots and fry it but not until it burns.
3.Fry the chopped carrot and tomato together.
4.Add a dash of salt,mixed herbs & black pepper.
5.Add a teaspoon of Mushroom Oyster Sauce.
6.Pour the cooked spaghetti along with some of the liquid into the pot and fry it together until it looks like it has some sauce in the spaghetti.Then its ready!XD

The end results!I actually it taste quite nice,its light and its healthy too!XD

The other time I tried cooking spaghetti again,I tried to change the initial ingredients a bit!

I call this dish Pepper-ti!Cause I use green bell peppers and their scent is very strong in this dish.

Ingredients:
-spaghetti
-butter(I replace the cooking oil with butter now)
-1 carrot(chopped into pieces)
-1/2 green bell pepper(chopped into pieces),You could put as much as you want actually
-a few slices of zuchini(japanese cucumber)
-some chopped shallots
-some chopped garlic
-a few tablespoons of milk(I use low-fat milk cause I don't have full cream milk.But the spaghetti will taste better with full cream milk)
-sesame oil
-mixed herbs and black pepper

Steps:
1.Cook spaghetti as usual.Save some of the water you boiled the spaghetti in.
2.Heat the pot.Put it 1 teaspoon of butter and swirl it around the pot and make sure it doesn't burn before you put in the garlic and shallots so must act fast!
3.Then put in the green bell peppers,carrots and zucchini and fry it.
4.Add a dash of mixed herbs and black pepper.
5.Add 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and cook it all together and its done once you see there is a creamy texture on the noodles.

I guess this time,the spaghetti is a bit more fattening with the milk,butter and sesame oil!XD.But its still yummy!XD

Why not you try it yourself and tell me your opinions?XD

Japanese dinner!

Last Friday,i got a chance to cook up my very first japanese dinner for myself since I'm alone with my 2 dogs at home!So I already got a bottle of Sapporo Green tea(It taste just like chinese tea so I'm not gonna drink it anymore!)!

I have my Sushi King tea set!


The results!
It's like masak-masak playtime again!XD.

Then I have to manually cook rice without using the rice cooker!It was a painful process because I have to hear sounds coming from the pot that sounds like a)Like its gonna explode out any second! b)Like someone is suffering from a slow death!,put it all together and it will sound like someone who is suffering from a slow death wants to be released from the pain!SCARY!!!T_T.Maybe I added too much water that's why those sounds are coming out from the pot while cooking...but the results after bravely watching the pot eventhough it was scary is...
A SUCCESS!!!And it was my 1st time also!XD

Put this on the rice!

Then mix it together,and you can eat but it was very plain so I have to do something!I took a pan,heat it up,put a few teaspoons of oil and crack an egg!

OMG,I ACTUALLY FRIED AN EGG!ON MY OWN!NO PARENTS SUPERVISIONS!FOR THE FIRST TIME!XD.I'm so proud of myself!XD


And a japanese meal is not completed without MISO SOUP!!!XD.I love the ones with tofu!^_^
After

Before


I wish I can do that more often maybe I will try curry rice next time!^_^
