ABC soup with pressure cooker

I am doing a spring cleaning on my blog posts and found this: 

My mom has a pressure cooker which she wanted to hand over to me for a long long time. But I was adamant that I didn't need one because I like using gas stove to cook. Just like my mom, I don't like something to do with new technology. (Oops! Using iPad is one of my breakthrough recently). 

Though I didn't want to use it, I didn't want mom to give away such precious thing. So, it is in my house ever since November. 

As I am heavily pregnant now, my mood to cook fluctuate. So, now the pressure cooker comes in handy. 

All I have to do is blanch the pork ribs in boiling water for around 3 to 5 minutes, then throw all the necessary ingredients into the pot, add in 10 cups of water and press the button "Bone". Very soon, around 45 minutes, I have my soup on the table. 

The rate I would give is 8 for the taste. Using pressure cooker for soup is easy and fast but the soup lacks taste compared to boiling it for two hours. Anyway, this is a good alternative for those who are busy or running out of time for good soup. For better taste, you can increase the cooking time to two hours. 

Fry egg with prawn

My son likes prawns and he's good at eating them. He knows immediately whether the prawn is fresh or otherwise after a first bite. Once we went for a dinner at a restaurant and after taking a bite, he said, "I think the prawn is not fresh." I had to agree with him. The prawns did have a fishy smell. We ignored the prawns the dinner. 

For a simple meal, I've opted to fry egg with prawns. 

Ingredients

2 fresh eggs

500g shelled prawns 

1/ Heat up the wok and oil.

2/ Pour in the egg with prawns.

3/ Dish up when the egg mixture has dried up.

4/ Put drops of tomato sauce for taste.

Note: It is essential to make sure that you have a heated wok and oil. Otherwise your egg mixture will stick to the wok and you'll end up having burnt egg! You may check whether the oil is hot enough by putting a chopstick into the oil. If you see bubbling oil, then the oil is hot enough. Alternatively, you may use a non-stick pan to fry egg. 

Happy New Year

Oops! I hope I'm not too late to wish everyone a "Happy New Year".

When Christmas was around the corner, one would think of new year as well. And the last Christmas cum New Year I had a surprise from my brother who bought me iPad Air. So now updating my blog will be much easier and I hope that I can upload more beautiful pictures for you to view.

My second child is going to be due on 26 Feb. It could be earlier or later depending on God's will. Nevertheless, we're all too excited to see her. Yes, it's a girl. So I'm going to have a boy and a girl to make a happy pair.

During my confinement month, we've hired an aunty to cook for me. So be prepared to get recipes on confinement food then!
