Simple and delicious broccoli rice

 


                     

White rice can quickly become a more complex and distinctive part of any meal with a little amount of extra effort by adding various seasonings, experimenting with cooking liquids, and attempting other methods of flavouring.

Some like to add butter and salt, which can help make the rice fluffier and richer. Some add pandan leaves to the rice's cooking liquid to make it much more fragrant. Some like to substitute water with chicken broth to cook the rice. Some add meat to rice just like Chinese sausage fried rice.

Today I would like to share with you how to make this delicious broccoli rice. My family and I frequently consume broccoli as a vegetable. Broccoli is a vegetable high in nutrients and protein. It has a delicate texture, is sweet and delectable, and is simple to digest. Eating for kids can boost immunity, support kids' growth, and development, and be very good for maintaining healthy bone growth, protecting eyesight, and enhancing memory.

Despite how nutritious broccoli is, kids just don't like to eat it! Do not panic; this broccoli rice is a tasty and easy way to reward children who do not eat veggies.

These broccoli rice balls are not only easy but also aesthetically pleasing and delicious. When combined with rice, it not only makes the stomach feel fuller but also adds extra nourishment that is very good for our health.


Once all the ingredients are prepared, simply combine them with the cooked rice which can then be eaten immediately. If you want to make it in a fancy way to catch the younger people’s heart. Rice can be moulded anyway you choose. I served my rice in a rectangular shape with chicken floss or black sesame as a garnish.

Crispy Fried Noodles Meatballs With Sweet Chili Sauce

I don’t want to blow my own horn, but I’m determined to do everything I can to make you want to try these meatballs. These meatballs are coated with SWEET CHILLI LIME SAUCE. The sweet chili paste is the major component of making the sauce. Apart from using this paste to make the sauce for the meatballs. You can also use it for other dishes like stir-fries with French beans, spread over cucumber or bread, or sometimes use it to pair with fried noodles. The paste itself is sweet with some spiciness. I am using two types of dried chilies to make the paste, one type is mild, and the type is extremely hot dried chilies. Bear in mind that the smaller they are, the hotter they are. My meatballs contain glass noodles inside and outside of them. If you're not familiar with the idea of adding noodles to meatballs, let me convince you as to why it's a great idea. The noodles get crispy outside after frying.   So, you don’t need to mess up with panko or any other breading. Glass nood...

Salted Egg Yolks Fried Wings

  There are some leftover salted egg yolks after the Dragon Boat Festival. Salted egg yolk fried wings straight pop into my mind. Egg yolk chicken wings are really flavoring explosions, highly praised for its unique flavor, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and tempting with their salty and fragrant taste. Other than the flavor that driving everyone’s insane. The key to this dish is to double fry the chicken wings until they are golden and crispy before coating them with a rich sauce of salted egg yolk and season them to make every bite full of rich taste and irresistible flavor. Since the fried chicken is mixed with salted egg yolks and melted butter, I must admit that this is a really greasy dish.   Eat this sparingly, then. I cut and divide my wings into mid wings and drummets. And I am going to give a shallow cut on them for better penetration during the marinating. Just oyster sauce, soy sauce and white pepper make up the basic marinade for the chicke...

Steamed Chicken With Cordyceps Flowers and Shitake Mushrooms (虫草花香菇蒸鸡)

Steam chicken is the easiest way of cooking with health benefits, and delicious flavor. Just simply marinate the bite sized pieces of chicken for minutes to obtain a basic flavor then steam for 20 to 25 minutes. That’s so simple. My husband loves steam food. This is due to the fact that steaming food is nutrient preservation, calorie and fat reduction. Additionally, it keeps the natural flavor to the maximum. Normally, I will add mushrooms, lily blossoms and black fungus for additional texture. For this recipe, I replace the lily blossoms with cordyceps flowers. It is a type of orange-yellow grass and it’s good for nourishing the lungs and kidneys, protecting the liver, nourishing skin and beauty, and improving immunity. It is extremely delicious when used to make soup or steam dishes! You don’t have to add water to the chicken, the marinade, chicken, and mushrooms release a broth-like mix of fluids that tastes amazing over rice. Are you drooling? This is an easy and delicious ...
