I am getting head over heels with avocado. The craze of buying avocados started at the beginning of this year and it has not stopped since then. All these recipes using avocados have been populating my blog – ‘Four-Ingredients Avocado Popsicles‘ and ‘Rich & Creamy Avocado Smoothie‘. And now, an avocado sauce for my spaghetti.
Seeing canned pork legs never fails to remind me of the day when I got married. My parents received many cans of Narcissus brand pork leg as betrothal gifts from my in-laws, together with gifts of money and such. At that time, I remember thinking to myself that I’ve never seen more cans of pork leg in my life, except perhaps at the local supermarkets. What a way to valuate their daughter – using cans of pork leg!
This is a lovely stew to make for the whole family. The pork was so soft and juicy and the leek was almost completely melted into the creamy gravy.
I am now a fan of cooking rice in cast iron pots. Believe me, the aroma of the dish that comes out of cast iron pots is stronger and more convincing than if the same ingredients were thrown into a rice cooker or a wok to cook. All the different flavours become encapsulated within the pot when the various ingredients come together to cook and boil. As such, the rice and flavours melt into one and the rice becomes especially tender and fragrant.
Instant noodles taste nice cooked in whichever method is accessible and with whatever ingredients are available. In fact, instant noodles are probably the best ingredient to have at home because one can blindly add in whatever leftovers from the fridge and still churn out a yummy plate of noodles that will not go wrong on an empty stomach.
