Very simple one dish delight!

I thought my arm was falling off after I scrubbed down the shower screen in my ensuite today. I tend to feel slightly ill after chemical exposure (duh!!). Like any project you undertake in your life, its always wise to schedule for breaks in between. Half way through cleaning, I decided to take off my gloves, walked away and sat in front of my laptop, googling "Domestic cleaning services". Hahahahahaha!

But I am not joking, I did call up one company that quoted s $58 for a regular weekly cleaning, another company quoted $28.80 per hour (including GST). I find the prices reasonable, its hard work when come to thorough cleaning you know... Anyhow, I am pretty convinced I should leave it to the expert. "Hey babe, can we get a cleaner in soon prreeeeeshhhh?" He is keen, but auntie here is keener.

I mentioned I was going to try a recipe I dug out yesterday. "Chicken & Bok Choy stir fry". Verdict? Not bad, I am pleased. :) It was an easy one-dish-wonder. Perfect for weeknights. Though the recipe below is designed for 4 servings, we cleaned up everything effortlessly. Geee...we can always exercise tomorrow, can't we?

So here goes:


Chicken & Bok Choy Stir-Fry

Serves 4

2 tablespoons peanut oil
6 chicken thigh fillets, cut into 2 cm cubes
1 onion, cut into wedges
2 cloves garlic, cruched
8 shiitake mushrooms, soak in hot water for 10 mins, then drained
200g baby bok choy leaves
2 teaspoons sweet chilli sauce
1 tablespoon teriyaki marinate
2 teaspoons oyster sauce

  1. Marinate chicken in teriyaki marinates for half hour.
  2. Heat oil in wok and add chicken, stir-fry on high for 3 mins or until golden brown.
  3. Add onion, stir-fry for 1 min or until tender.
  4. Add garlic, mushroom, bok choy, sweet chilli sauce and oyster sauce, stir-fry for 1 min or until heated through. Serve with rice.
