Entry: Dinner Dishes Under 30 Minutes Thursday



Cooked a last minute dinner for us. DT wanted to eat at home and I panicked for awhile. We didn't do any grocery! So I looked through the kitchen cabinets and fridge and these were what I found:

  • 1 packet of minced pork
  • 2 pieces of deboned chicken breast
  • Half a packet of tagliatelle pasta (one of my favorite pastas, looked like fettucine but are packed in cute balls)
  • 1 carrot, 1 potato, 2 tomatoes (extras from last week's ABC soup)
  • Onions, garlic, etc

Tagliatelle (pasta) topped with hot sauce of teriyaki-marinated minced meat and chicken fillet

The funny thing is, the more I DO NOT follow the recipes, the more compliments on the taste of food I get from DT. Like this dish, he loved the sauce that was cooked from the minced meat and cubed chicken breast, both marinated with Teriyaki sauce + pepper + a little oyster sauce. 2 min before turning off the fire, just drop 1 teaspoon of thick soy sauce. I just dumped anything I could get my hands on from the kitchen! Talking about easy to please! Heh!

And this, I don't really know what to call this. It consists of the extras from last week's soup. A carrot, potato, 2 tomatoes, big onions, garlic, oyster sauce and minced meat. All stir-fried together. Yum ~

Simple and fast. And now, excuse me while I go do the dishes. Apparently, The Breakup didn't help much, the boy still never volunteers! Tongue

Whoever cooks shall not clean. You cook, I clean. I cook, you clean. That's the rule!
