Steam Otak

This is steam otak. I used fish paste bought from the market (yong tau fu stall). Then add some cornflour and sambal chilli. I added oyster sauce but I find it too salty. So we can leave the oyster sauce out. Then steam it on the steaming tray above the rice cooker when you cook rice. (For lazy people like me)

As you can see the photo, you can figure out that the otak is not spicy enough (son complained not spicy enough but tasted quite good).

Fried Kai Lan with oyster sauce

This is kai lan from Malaysia.

Cut the stem into diagonal and blanch into boiling water to soften the stem. Add the leaves part and oyster sauce and some water.

When cooked, add fried shallots.

This is fun melting chocolate.

Just melt some chocolate bars in a microwave for about 1 min and then pour them into your favourite mould. You can add some crushed nuts too. When you are done, put them in the fridge.
