Soy Sauce Chicken

My mom and baby and I had the Subway Melts for lunch because we had a coupon for them.  For dinner, I made soy sauce chicken tonight. I had leftover onions, carrot and tomato so they were thrown in there. So this was how I cooked it. I first use oil to fry up the minced garlic,  ginger and onion to get the flavour out. Then, I threw in the chicken drum sticks, added some light soy sauce and a teaspoon of dark soy sauce. I added a cup of water and waited until the mixture boiled. Then, I threw in the tomato and carrot and boiled everything for five minutes. I had to flip the drum sticks over at the three minute mark. Finally, I simmered the pot for around 15 minutes and it is ready.

Pork Tenderloin and Broccoli

Tonight, I baked pork tenderloin at 400 degrees in the toaster oven for twenty five minutes. I simply poked some< holes in the meat with a fork, drizzled olive oil and sprinkled salt, pepper and garlic powder. The broccoli was stir fried. I started with frying up minced garlic and ginger over medium high heat in oil. Then, I throw in the broccoli and half a cup of water. Next, I turn the heat up to boil the mixture for a few minutes with a lid covering everything until the broccoli is soft.

Steaming Two Dishes

Today, after my new friend and her 5 month old baby went home, I took advantage of my pot that has a steamer on top. I steamed broccoli on top and then steamed a common Cantonese dish that has salted duck egg, chicken eggs, marinated minced pork with green onions, on the bottom steamer.  I put the timer on for five minutes. Once it boils, I loosen the lid so steam is released. Then, I continue to steam with the loose lid. That is the trick to get the egg smooth and soft. I will show the results in a bit.

Food Management At Home

Good Evening, I want to share my thoughts with you about how we manage food at home.  I lived with my parents until I got married, which was 2 years ago. It was after I learned my husband's system of managing food that I realized that my parents and I did not have a system so a lot of food and money was wasted.  I discovered that my husband's system saves money and lessens food waste. The former benefits our wallets and latter benefits the environment.  So this is how he does it.  He is very organized.  He actually has an inventory list of the staple food in our home and that includes the examples of rice, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, milk and eggs.  He checks the physical inventory at home to see which ones he needs to buy during his weekly grocery shopping trip.  He also checks flyers of his two favorite supermarkets to see what is on sale to determine what groceries to buy.  He only buys groceries that are on sale so he has a list of sale items that he refers to.  Only buy
