That looks great but it is slathered in too much dressing. I love the fish combo though...

Good one

tecno4life:

Your wife is the truth...

I'm back to my 'bestest' thread. No pics yet just came in to say yello!

TAnk u for d recippe

Just seeing this. How did it go?

okirewaju:
Tempting but i"m not a fan of eggs.

Looks really good i must say

You can skip the eggs and just make it plain white rice. There is no hard and fast rule to it.

You are just knowing Habib?? The man don chop my money finish!!
Most times, I buy it with the fura. They blend it together and give me. THA TRUTH!!!!

Amen to that sister. I was new in that locality so yes it was new for me. If you live in a state like the one i'll be moving from, you'll appreciate the availability of these sort of things. I don't really do fura but just seeing them blending it in my presence I was like Wow! LOL

I sha tasted it, twas not bad at all.

I had this yogurt with diced banana for breakfast and it was AmaZinggggggg! It is rich, creamy and devoid of the usual overly sweet taste of most commercial yogurts. Its the truth people! I aint a marketer or staff but I really enjoyed it.

If you enjoy good yogurt (like me) and you stay in Lagos, you need to try this one out. I usually jump at Farmfresh yogurt but this put it to shame. Dang!

Se finis...

I followed this recipe from simplyrecipes.com.
Exactly. Step by step.
Only difference is that I added dried raisins and a pinch of pure grated nutmeg to mine.

I used two bananas and 2/3 cups of sugar instead of a whole cup of cup.
It wasn't overly sweet. Just right.
But you can add the whole cup of you like it sweeter.

Thanks. I've copied it.

I tell you this meal was the truth!

• Serve with your egg rice like this.

• Now place about 2 to 3 table spoon of cornstarch in a bowl and add small water to it. The idea is to thicken the sauce. Let your cornstarch and water mixture run a bit i.e. not too thick or too thin. Now pour into your pot and watch as the sauce thickens. There is no hard and fast rule here. If you feel your sauce is too thin after allowing it simmer a bit, you can add in another teaspoon of corn starch. Just ensure you mix it up with water first before throwing it into your cooking pot!


• Now is the time to add the rest of your vegetables which you saved. Add the remaining carrot, bell pepper, spring onions. Finally add the green peas and sweet corn. Saving half of your vegetables at the end allows the meal remain fresh and slightly crunchy. Leave for a minute or so then turn off.

My friend used up the whole sachet of the sweet chilli and garlic sauce. She used about two table spoons of the soy sauce

• Include your seasoning, salt, sweet chilli and soy sauce. If you love some more pepper now is the time to sprinkle more in. Don’t forget your curry and thyme.


• Add your chicken (my friend had already boiled her chicken a bit so she just tossed it in at this stage to allow the flavour seep in. If you'd rather fry your chicken you can do that but add it in at this point so the flavour seeps in)


• Allow the coconut milk simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes but keep watching it. Remember you have vegetables in it and it shouldn’t boil over or cook for too long. Just long enough to heat up a bit. You don’t even need to place a lid and walk away.

• Now to the sauce. Pour groundnut oil (just a little, half a cooking spoon would do. Less for the more concious cooks) in a pot or pan. Allow to heat then add the diced onions, pepper, spring onions (please use half of your spring onions at this stage), garlic and toss around.


• Now add HALF of the diced carrot, bell pepper and allow to incorporate. Don’t put in the sweetcorn or green peas at this stage because you don’t want to overcook them. You should do this at the tail end. Next add the coconut milk (my friend used a full coconut and this meal served 4 people with left over sef)

Process

• Cook your white rice as normal but just before the water dries off, crack your eggs and stir. Then add a little salt into your cracked eggs and pour over the rice. Allow it firm up a bit. Now empty the sweetcorn from the can and drain. Divide the sweet corn into two. You will use one half for the rice and the other half for the sauce. After the egg goes into the rice, add one half of the sweet corn in as well.


• Now set aside once the egg is cooked and sweet corn goes in.


• Boil your chicken as you would normally do and when it is ready, set aside (my friend didn’t fry her chicken but if you want to fry or grill yours, feel free)

I'm back again with another coconut milk inspired meal and now I know what you're thinking so let me just say ''NO'' I don’t go looking out for them like a bloodhound! I visited a friend and she was making it and so na so I jam coconut milk inspired meal again. I took pictures of the process and decided to share. I asked her for the name but she couldn’t tell me so I decided to name the food in her honour. It is 'Nneka's Chinese inspired meal'
Lets go there. You'll need

1. Chicken

2. Carrot (N100 should do)

3. Spring Onions (N50)

4. Sweet corn

5. Green peas (you can buy that small type that mallam tie and sell in small nylon - N100)

6. Salt

7. Black Pepper (while replicating this dish, I personally used the small green type used in making fried rice. I would advise you to skip our
regular atarodo for it will completely alter the subtle taste of the sauce)

Here's a link.
You can see different variations and choose what style you like best.
http://www.foodnetwork.com/topics/teriyaki-chicken-recipes.html

I guess you could find them in a shoprite or a similar store near you. I used to rely on shoprite sometimes for stuff I couldn't get easily around me. But when I'm not around any shoprite, I check the super marts I can find.

You never know.
Oyster sauce will give you a different taste but then it's not teriyaki chicken anymore.
Maybe oyster-sauce chicken
That's probably a recipe of it's own

Thanks
