Honestly, I’m really lacking some effort in cooking these days. Not only has my cooking been reduced to sandwiches to save money, but some of my meals look the same as what I have produced before (if you scroll back for past entries). The dishes have different ingredients and that’s what made the difference. Some say it’s because Josiah isn’t around hence I lack the motivation. But, honestly… I try to make my dishes look like some form of art at its lowest level. If they don’t look good, they must not taste good.
Presenting to you my favourite meals of the week, home-cooked the previous night and microwaved at work presented on a simple plate.
Pesto Spaghettini with Danish Salami and Cabbage
After boiling the noodles and cabbage, I drained the water off and mixed them with the danish salami (I didn’t cook it at all since the salami was already “cured”) and relied solely on the heat from the boiled noodles and vege. Then, mixed with abit of pesto sauce, some basil leaves seasoning, a tinge of salt, chilli flakes (very little), barbeque seasoning (I know this is weird but a dash of it works well for the added taste) and of course as you can see, cracked pepper!
Stir-Fried Pork Ribs with White Rice
The highlight about this meal is the pork ribs I marinated. I chose pork ribs instead of pork rashers because of the strong taste that comes through from the bones (usually works best for soup). Sliced them into small cubes and marinated them overnight with sesame oil, barbeque seasoning, sweet dark soy sauce, prawn chilli flakes, pepper, rosemary seasoning and italian herbs. The next morning, I stir-fried some mushrooms with a tinge of Kikkoman sauce before adding the marinades in. It wasn’t too salty if you moderate all the ingredients closely together. I served the pork ribs with white rice (it wasn’t supposed to look like it’s mixed actually but I somehow placed them in my microwave container and it just mixed). Although, I could have chosen to stir-fry everything together (with the rice too).
I’ll try something else next week. Have to regain my momentum in cooking again!
