Rice

Me and John had our first dinner in our new house.

My mom had cooked a salted fish, pork belly for me yesterday. I just need to heat it up. On my end, I had boiled a quick soup. With fried egg, wong nga bak (vegetable), salted vege (tong coi) and a little bit of “fen si” (tong fun). It turned out delicious. I suppose to take some photo of the product. But I left my camera at my mom’s home.

The proud thing is that, I steamed the rice, first time ever. And it was great.

We have yet to buy the rice cooker. I was thinking, should I go out to buy cooked rice? If not, how should I cook my rice. Then I decided to steam the rice, if I don’t start experiment in steaming the rice, I will need to buy from the nearby restaurant everyday.

I started with boiling the water (with the rice in a metal container), once the water boiled. I turn it to the lowest fire and let it steam till the rice is cooked. I am not sure about the measurement of water and rice, and just took a rough estimate. It took almost the same time as the rice cooker to cook the rice. Approximately 20 minutes. Bravo! I did it. Steam is better than rice cooker as the rice don’t stick at the container. Felt delighted when John actually enjoys the dinner.
