Every weekend, my husband and I will go to supermarket and pick meat & vegi for the next week’s meals. Last time, he went to me with a small bag of dried mini octopus and told me it would make soup more delicious. I really doubted that because my husband knows very little about cooking. But he persuaded me in the end. I tried it with a big fat chicken leg.
1. Clean chicken leg. In a deep pot, pour in enough water. Also put chicken leg in.
2. Turn to high heat. When water boils, remove the foam on the surface.
3. Turn to low heat. Add in a little ginger slice. Cut one dried mini octopus into the pot with scissors.
4. Cover the pot with lid. Slow cook for 30-60 mins. 30 mins will guarantee Chicken be cooked. Yet, a little longer cooking time will enable soup to be very tasty.
5. Chop Chinese cabbage into medium pieces. Put into the pot. Also sprinkle some salt. Cook for another 5 mins.
Serve hot.
I have to say dried octopus really did magic to the soup. We all loved it.
1. Pour in enough water in a deep pot.
2. Put in chicken. I used several chicken drumsticks.
3. Turn to high heat. When the water boils, turn to low heat. And slow cook for half an hour.
4. Add in corn & carrot chunks. Cook for another half an hour.
5. Add in snow peas and boil for another 3 mins.
6. Sprinkle some salt and serve hot.
1. Clean spinach and cut into halves.
2. Boil enough water in a pot. Also add in 1/2 tsp salt.
3. Boil spinach for 1 min. Then take them out. Rinse in the cold water and drain.
4. Squeeze spinach by hand to squeeze the water out.
5. Place spinach in the big bowl. Add in 1/2 salt, 1/2 tsp light soy sauce, 1/2 vinegar. Mix well with spinach.
6. Put a little minced garlic, minced ginger and white sesame over the top. If you want it to be spicy, you can also add a little dried chili on it.
7. Heat a pan on stove. Add in 2 tsp oil. Heat it till very hot.
8. Pour hot oil over garlic, ginger & sesame mixture. Then mix them with spinach by chopsticks.
Very simple & yummy Chinese style salad.

Meatball here I used homemade ones.
https://chewbaccascook.wordpress.com/2017/02/19/homemade-meatball-meatball-spaghetti/
First, boil stock ( I used chicken soup left before) in a deep pot.
When the soup boils, add meatballs in. Boil with low or medium heat for around 20 mins. Then add in cabbage and boil for another 10 mins. Season with some salt and serve.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over steak and let it rest for 5-10 mins.
Heat cast iron skillet on a stove. Add in a little olive oil.
When skillet is very hot, lay steak in it. Fry each side for around 2 mins.
Cut in a small piece of butter. Also add in 2 or 3 cloves garlic and thyme.
Fry each side for 3 mins. At the same time, use a spoon to scoop melted butter and pour over the uncooked side.
Place steak in a plate and let it rest for a while.
Leave the rest oil in the pan. Put vegetables in skillet. I chose onion, asparagus and mushroom. Stir fry till vegetables turn softened. Add in 1/2 tsp light soy sauce, 1/2 tsp cooking wine and 1/2 tsp sugar. Stir fry for another 2 or 3 mins.
Dish vegetables out in a plate and cut steak into medium chunks and spread them over vegetables.
