Chicken rice
Serves 2-3 adults

1 cup jasmine rice
2" ginger, pounded
1 cube chicken stock
1 3/4 cup water
1/3 tsp turmeric powder
salt & sugar to taste
3 tbsp butter

1. In a bowl, mix water with turmeric powder and chicken stock.
2. In a pot or your rice cooker, heat the butter and saute ginger until fragrant.
3. Add in rice and stir a couple of times.
4. Add water.
5. Add salt and sugar to taste and stir a few more times. Let it boil.
6. Cover and simmer for 20-25 min, depending on your stove or rice cooker.
7. Once cooked, let it sit for 5-10 min (covered).

Served warm with Roasted chicken. Garnish with fried shallot/onion.

* If you are using chicken broth instead of cubed chicken stock, just replace the amount of water with chicken broth. Too much water/broth will make your rice too starchy.

Roast Chicken

3 garlic, pounded
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp sweet soy sauce

1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp five spice powder

2. In a bowl, mix all the ingredients.

4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put in the fridge overnight. Or you can just marinate it for a couple of hours before roasting.
5. When ready to roast, preheat the oven at 350F
6. Place the chicken in a roasting pan. If you have a wooden skewer, use it to 'tie' the legs together. But I dont have it so i didnt use any. Then cover the chicken with aluminium foil. 
7. Roast for 45-60 min.
8. Uncover and set the oven to 450-475F and continue roasting for another 10-15min or until the chicken is fully cooked.

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons melted butter

2,) Fill it with 1 1/2 cups milk, 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Quickly mix the milk and eggs together.
3.) Then add all the salt, sugar, baking powder and some flour and start stiring. Stir and keep adding the flour until you add all of it.

5.) If it is to thick add some more milk and mix a little more. Sooo, now our batter is ready.
6.) Grease a hot non stick pan with butter. On slow fire, take about 1/4 cup of batter and pour it on the pan. Pancakes should be cooked until they are bubbly, a little dry around the edges, and lightly browned on the bottom. Then we turn them around and brown them on the other side.
7.) Aand u're ready to serve! This recipe serves 4 :)
Oh and u can put yr favourite toppings or just go simple with butter and honey or maple syrup will do :)
