Quick fix

Now that we've all started working (for a year or two now) we're too busy and exhausted daily to cook, organise makan makan trips successfully due to our antisocial oncall timings or even update this blog!

So I thought I'd share with you what lazy Kenn and Eve normally do if they miss Nam heong chicken rice.

From LayIn we found that instant chicken rice mixes are available in our Chinatown ! There's a variety of different mixes but choose the ones which has a mix for the rice and chicken.

All you need is the mix, rice, chicken, cucumber and vege (for a balanced diet :p). The rest of it is as easy as ABC..

Just follow the instructions! I normally like to cook the rice first and the key is not to put too much water & only half the mix in. Otherwise it'll get too oily. Then simmer the chicken in hot water with mix inside for approx 20mins. Depending on which mixes you buy, they may provide the chilli and ginger paste too.

The key to yummy and smooth aka 'wat' chicken is to submerge the chicken in cold water first before serving.. So don't forget this step. You could cut the cucumber into slices to decorate the place. Once you've done so, pour the soya with sesame oil mix on the chicken and voila, its ready to serve!

Hope you find this useful and makan club members, miss you all!
