Food Glorious Food
If you had to choose between good cuisine and good sex, what would it be? Being the gourmand that i am, the answer is evident. "You obviously havent had good sex, ever!?!!" Ad said teasingly. I shall not attempt to dignify the disparaging statement with a response. :p I stumbled upon a food blog today, i spent the last hour looking through the archives, salivating at pictures of muddy mud pies, chicken cordon bleu oozing provolone, mashed potatoes in thick gravy with sausages, curries of all sorts, buttered sweet corn in melted cheese, belgian waffles soaked in honey and a gazillion other scrumptious dishes.
Its amazing how a cup of pipping hot coffee can make a whole lot of difference in the mornings for some, or how simple chow like a cup of instant noodles can cheer one up. I eat when i'm happy, gorge when i'm depressed, binge when i'm bored, in fact, my life revolves so much around food that its a wonder i can think of anything else. LOL. Okay, if i am scaring anyone, i'm really not like that. I'm a dilettante in the realm of cooking, there are but a few dishes i can whipped up with pride. My long bean rice is out of this world although i must admit that i need to work on my curry, and if you havent yet noticed, i do have an issue with modesty. :D
Right, all this talk about food is killing me, i really shouldnt be eating at this hour. Anyway, here's the recipe for long bean rice if anyone is interested. Its really easy to make, try it.
Ingredients (Serves 4, gluttons if i may add)
3 cups of uncooked rice
2 cups of fresh chinese long beans, cut them into about 2.5 inches each
2 cups of dried mushrooms, soaked and sliced
1.5 cups of dried shrimps, soaked
1 can of luncheon meat, cut them into cubes
2 chicken stock cubes/2 cups of chicken stock
2 cups of water
Lots of minced garlic
Fair amount of cooking oil
3 tablespoons of soya sauce
3 tablespoon of teriyaki marinade (optional)
Fresh pepper
Instructions
I am too lazy to write step by step instructions so do not attempt if you are a complete idiot in the kitchen, otherwise, heat oil in large saucepan, saute minced garlic, throw everything else in, including the water you used to soak the mushrooms, simmer for 10 minutes. Dump everything in rice cooker and leave to cook and voila, ready to eat in an instant!
