Stir Fried Broccoli with Goji Berries

Super quick broccoli stir fry with super food goji berries!

Hello and happy Meatless Monday!

Hope you had a fantastic weekend. I had a rather quiet Sunday as dearest husband has gone away on a business trip for a week. Boo hoo. As such, I spent my Sunday doing house chores. The benefit of that is that I didn’t have to do many chores today and could potter about in my little garden.

Since I am cooking for one today, I decided to do something ridiculously easy and made stir fried broccoli with goji berries. It’s quite common in Chinese cooking to stir fry veggies with goji berries. If you haven’t tried it, do give it a go as the goji berries make the dish so sweet.

Noodles with Meat Sauce

Absolutely delicious noodles with a hearty meat sauce. Serve with some healthy kale or other veggies for a complete meal.

Hello folks.

Are you enjoying the World Cup? I know I have! Even if you are not into football, you look out for the World Cup advertisements. Some are so hilarious, while others resemble a mini movie. Definitely worth looking out for.

With summer and all the football, I need to make meals even easier and faster. So on these warm summer days, I have been cooking quite a fair bit of these noodles with meat sauce.

It’s already a quick and easy to make meal as it is. However, I like to cook up a bigger portion of the meat sauce and refrigerate the leftovers. That way, all you have to do for another (even quicker) meal is boil up some noodles and heat up the sauce. You will be able to serve dinner in less than 10 minutes. It really is all about the prep.

Here, I added some blanched kale and layered it on top of the noodles, followed by the meat sauce. Let me tell you, it’s a great way to eat your kale!

You can use any noodles you like, but I used fine egg noodles here. It also goes well with some vermicelli. I hope you try it! 

Brown Rice with Peas

A twist on cooking normal boiled rice, the added peas make this a clever way to sneak in more vegetables to your diet. 

Hello and happy Meatless Monday!

I overindulged in dim sum once again yesterday, as such, I need to be a good girl diet-wise today. I have a super healthy and easy recipe for you, that is, brown rice with green peas. It is a clever way to jazz up normal boiled rice. It is also great to sneak in more vegetables to your diet!  

You cook the rice as you normally would, just add in some seasoning and the peas. The seasoning used here is mirin, light soy sauce and salt. If you are not vegetarian you can use some chicken stock.

I usually have this with stir fried vegetables. Veggies on top of more veggies. Go for it, it’s good for you!
