Dinner last night was a Masterfood’s Creation Packet. Herb Chicken and Potato. The packet comes with all the herb portions you need to create the recipe. So a bit of a cheat but able to make it again next time from scratch.
So to make this. I have used 4 potatoes, the herb packet and oil and cooked these potatoes for 30 minutes. While these were cooking i have sliced two chicken breast fillets into three and then coated with the remainder of the ingredients.
I have then baked these in the oven for 20 minutes.
Served these with peas and beans. Yum!
Dinner tonight was Dumpling Night. Haven’t made dumplings for a while, so thought i would make some for a change.
My normal recipe is Gyoza and i usually adapt this to what i have at home.
So using 500g of pork mince, 2 teaspoons of garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of ginger, 2 teaspoons of corinader, 1 greated carrot, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 2 teaspoons dried onion. These ingredients have been combined in a bowl.
I have then placed teaspoons full in the centre of the wonton wrappers and pushed the edges together to make ‘money bags’.
I have then placed half the dumplings in a steamer basket and steamed for about 7-8 minutes over a wok of water. I have then steamed the remainder. This recipe has made 30 dumplings.
I have served these dumplings with rice. I have combined 1/2 cup of basmati rice and 1/2 cup of brown rice, 1 1/2 cups of water, chicken stock powder, peas, corn and onion in my rice cooker and allowed to cook until ready. Once ready i have added a little soy sauce for flavour. Simple yet delish.
On Wednesday night i made Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies.
For these i have combined all cookie ingredients together and then wrapped a chocolate flavoured Oreo with the cookie mix. I have baked these in the oven for 15 minutes.
