Steamed cod fish

Steamed cod fish

186g cod fish ( v nice fresh n white)
4 slices ginger for steaming w fish (keep 2 slices, rest into shreds)

Did fried garlic n then fried ginger but dont like fried ginger except B n fried garlic din taste tat great.

I can do w/o the fried ginger n garlic

Place slice n shred ginger below n on top of fish.

Because I had 1 tbsp olive oil for frying garlic n ginger which I'll add to fish, so for steaming I only added 1/2 tbsp seafood soya sauce.

Steamed on high heat for 7-8 min as my cod fish was a thick slice abt 1.5 in

In future simply ve 1/2 tbsp olive oil n 1/2 tbsp seafood soya sauce.

D n B loved the fish so much. Make sure buy only when absolutely fresh.

3 cups chicken

3 cups chicken

Did 2 chicken thighs abt 250g

Followed noobcook with 1/2 chicken ingredient so 1/2 sauce

Recipe states to cut up chicken thigh to small pcs but I dunno how to n how small, so separated drum n cut rest to 3 sections. Only 1 drum
I cut out some of the meat. But basically hard for chicken to b fully cooked esply bone area. The blood still thr. So next time to wash chicken aft cutting to pcs, also to cut into smaller pcs on drum too n the initial stir to do longer n make sure no more blood then add sauces.

So for this initial attempt I took out those 'bloody' drums to cut into smaller pcs n wash 1/2 way in the simmering process n simmer much longer.

Initially I added 1/2 the amt of water (20ml) stated since 1/2 qty of chicken. But because I simmered longer I added another 20 ml n another 20 ml along the way each time the gravy was gg to dry up.

Anyhow, the chicken tasted great!
