About Me

I love to cook and more importantly, I like to improve the way I cook certain dishes. As such, this blog is borne out of a desire for a simple and organized way to manage the different variations of the dish that I tried. I will be posting recipes, pictures and comments on what works for me and what don’t. Hopefully, you will enjoy your time here, and do remember to give your feedback! Cooking is a constant evolution, a process and definitely not an end result!

Tips and Comments:
  • Stir-fry according to the order; 1st Ginger, 2nd Onion, 3rd Garlic - this is to allow time for each ingredients to stir-fry until fragrant without overcooking or burning them. 
  • As this dish comprises of different type of sauces, some brands may be taste more salty than others and vice verse, hence it is important to test if the taste is right before adding the right amount of hot water.
