Home Cook Sumptuous Lunch - Kai Zhao (Chicken Wine)

Saturday-19/09/09. Previously I came accross a recipe for Kai Zhao (Chicken Wine) from this blog http://thelittleteochew.blogspot.com/ so I decided that I will try it myself. On my lunch menu today is Freshly Sliced Abalone from the can, Broccoli fried with straw mushorooms and sliced abalone (from the same can of course!) and last but not least the Kai Zhao (Chicken Wine).

SLICED ABALONE

One of my favourite foods. Although should be eaten only on occassions, just could not resist the temptation to open a can for lunch today. One should pamper oneself when one sees the need for some pampering right?! Biting into a slice of abalone was like the floating in heaven type of exprience I thorougly enjoyed. Shiok!!!

BROCCOLI WITH STRAW MUSHROOMS AND SLICED ABALONE

Fried the above with garlic, ginger slices, dried scallops etc. Very fragrant and delicious. Oh and added some of the Can abalone sauce into the vegies. This really enhanced the taste.

KAI ZHAO (CHICKEN WINE)

Many thanks to the recipe which enabled me to cook up this satisfying dish on my first attempt. I did however modified it a little. I marinated the chicken with the light sauce, dark sauce directly. I also added some can abalone sauce in place of some of the water. This dish was DELISH! Could not get enough of it but I had to stop myself from over eating.


Overall I think it was a good attempt for me today as it's been ages since I last cooked. Gone were my overseas student days when I cooked much more often. Usually kitchen belongs to only one woman in the house and in this case, my mum!!! So I really don't wanna fight over the kitchen with her (Yes I know, excuses for myself!).
