Ramen With Smoked Duck Breasts & Orange Soy Sauce

Posted on 12 March, 2022 by cllism

I kind of like this dish. First reason being it is very simple and fuss-free; just dump everything into the slowcooker, switch it on and wait. I can do my things or go to work without worrying about dinner anymore. Second reason being it’s a very delicate, light and fresh-tasting recipe; the balance of smoked duck flavours combined with fresh orange and vegetables makes this dish very easy to digest and easily palatable. Lastly, noodles – the ingredients are nice to slurp up with the noodles, although this sauce could easily go down well with rice as well!

Baked Teriyaki Salmon

In total, it took us about a week and a half to all get well plus a lot of anxiety and heavy hearts. The running around (to bring the boy to the A&E all by myself), having to push myself to work even while feeling hot from the fever and tired from the bodily ache and bad cough, the countless nights of monitoring the boy’s fever, and finally seeing the two lines disappear into one on the ART kit. Crazy is what I’ll say, and I would like to never have to experience this whole set of Covid drama again.

Stack It Up With Tauhu Goreng

I love tauhu goreng, especially those served at the Muslim stalls which are rounded, tall and crispy all over. I don’t know how they do it but it’s always so delicious and looks so unresistable.
