recipe written by the dumb and lazy (1)

alright! since we received our medical reports last month which were not so positive with the highlights on cholesterol levels, i tried to be a responsible partner and took up the task of whipping up some home cook goodness. Of course, the first few attempts failed miserably with some tasteless soups and salty veges. Nevertheless, i managed to pull together few proven and tested comfort food effortlessly. *Phew!* Though i'm still failing every time i try to cook something new. These are the dumb-prove recipes for the dumbiest dummy exactly like me, and i strongly recommend it to the gents who's soloing too. Here you go :

Sun's recipe 1 :

revitalising chicken porridge (serving 2)

Ingredients :

4 pc chicken drumsticks

4 - 5 cups of water

1/2 - 1 cup of rice

1/4 cup of shredded "pao sum" (optional)

pinch of salt

Tools :

Electric slow cooker, bowl, spoon & etc.

Method :

1. Rinse the rice with water couple times.

2. Put in 4 - 5 cups of water and the rinsed rice into the slow cooker.

3. This is important. Switch ON the eletricity of slow cooker. Turn the heat to "Fast".

4. Wash the chicken drumsticks, and de-skinned if you prefer.

5. Put in the drumsticks and pao sum.

6. Turn to "Slow" heat, if it started to simmer.

7. Go to sleep.

8. Wake up. The revitalising porridge is ready! Add pinch of salt to your liking.

Tips:

1. Use boiling water if you have little patience like me.

2. The amount of rice and water is totally up to you. A ratio of 1:8 will give you creamy & watery cantonese porridge. The ratio of 1:4 is more towards the baby food type. So anything between that, you're safe.

3. Cooking time is around 3 - 6 hours, depends on how long you want to sleep.

4. All ingredients including water should fill not more than 1/2 of the cooker.

5. Turn to "slow" heat so the ingredient won't overflow.

6. The pao sum can be brought from traditional chinese medicine hall.
