Afternoon mummies!
Bluegrapes/mild - Actually, i made ginger chicken n stir-fry veg but type too fast. Of cos can share the recipe, its HB and my fave dish, he asked for it again for tonight's dinner. It is super easy n fast to prepare. If u r not a ginger fan, u can reduce ginger n add in other ingredients like mushrooms, chinese sausage, etc. As i had some celery left, i threw in 1 stick of celery (sliced) for steaming.
Steamed Ginger Chix
- 300g chix fillet, sliced @ an angle *
- A sprinkle of salt/pepper
- Dash of sesame oil & chinese wine
- 1 to 2 thumb-sized fresh ginger, finely julienned
Mix all together leaving some ginger shreds on top of ginger. Place in steamer n steam for 15-20 mins.
To make things easier, i put in my rice cooker ao that dish is ready when rice is cooked.
* If using chix breast, add 1 tsp of cornstarch to chix to soften the meat. Chix fillet is quite tender so not necessary. Also juice from the ginger has natural tenderising properties. Enjoy!
Sherl/Zenn - i oso keen on the leap frog thingey..
Icy - I saw some good disposable panties at OG Orchard, maternity section. It is very stretchy and a bit like cotton - not so paperlike until if u perspire or the panty too tight, splits in the centre of butt cheeks! Sorry, so crude!
Icy, wat u have experienced is carpal tunnel syndrome. I have tt too when i work my right hands too much, esp too much washing. Women gets it all e time as we do too much washing. But situation is made worst with pregnancy.. so far i only kena once during my pregnancy (touch wood!). Last time mine was so bad tt i can hold my toothbrush in the mornings so all my fingers were swollen n can't grip.
Be careful of your wrist position when typin at pc and try to reduce salt intake. U can apply some deep-heat or use those vibrating massages to temporarily ease the prob.. Most impt try to give your hands some rest and don 'sup-sui' (cantonese) too much.
