Garlic Fried Rice & Steamed Chicken with Pek Chye

Sel has the sudden craving of eating teppanyaki garlic fried rice so she googled for an easy recipe to try.

Garlic Fried Rice
The recipe was taken from http://www.mywisewife.com/home-kitchen-recipe-garlic-fried-rice-japanese-style.html.

Ingredients
2 cups of steamed rice
2 eggs (scrambled)
1½ bulbs garlic (chopped)
2 tablespoon of butter
1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce (which I omitted)
Light soy sauce to taste
Some prawns

Method
Heat up a wok and melt the butter. Add garlic and saute until golden brown and fragrant. Add the prawns. Then the rice and eggs. Pour in some light soy sauce. Toss the rice to allow the sauce to mix well with the other ingredients at medium-high heat.

It's not the same as the garlic fried rice that Sel craved for. But it's just lacking the slight "chao ta" taste.

To add on more protein and some fibre to the meal, she cooked steamed chicken with pek chye.

Steamed Chicken with Pek Chye
The recipe was taken from http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3844/steamed-asian-chicken.

Ingredients
4 pieces of chicken
Some pek chye 1 shitake mushroom (sliced)
1 clove of garlic (chopped)
1 clove of garlic (sliced)
1 slice of ginger (shredded)
1 chilli padi
2 table spoons of light soy sauce
1 teaspoon of oyster sauce

Method
Marinate the chicken with the light soya sauce, chopped garlic, ginger and chilli. Place the pek chye on the oven dish and spread the oyster sauce over the vegetable. Throw in the mushrooms and sliced garlic on top of it. Place the marinated chicken in the same oven dish and pour over any left over marinate over the chicken. Cover the oven dish with aluminium foil and put it in the oven. It should take less than 15 minutes to cook.
