Chicken satay skewers and fiery noodle salad.

The food processor arrived yesterday. Time to get cracking.

Dish of the night is chicken satay skewers and fiery noodles.

Clock starts ticking....
To make the satay sauce, put all the ingredient in the mixer and whiz it into a paste. It calls for crunchy peanut sauce, lime zest, lime, coriander, chilli. Its not the kind of satay sauce I'm used to. I'm keeping an open mind. Coat the chicken with the satay sauce and grill it in the oven, till golden brown, or till cook.

Sauce for the noodles, calls for 1 chilli, 1/2 onion, coriander, lime sauce. Again, put everything in the mixer, which means I need to wash the mixer first.I'm running out of time... I have to roast the cashew nut for the sause too.

In total it took me 54mins to complete 2 dishes. No time for deserts.
Satay sauce is bitter, noodles is too spicy, and the kitchen is in a mess.

jamie oliver's 30 minute meal challenge

First challenge, Thai green curry with crispy chicken, kimchee slaw and rice noodles.

The challenge is to complete the dishes within 30 minutes.
The only problem is I dont have a food processor!!! I'm using a mortar and pestle to mix up everything. ^^

First to finish is the kimchee slaw. Able to manage this without the processor. The taste is really good, sour, tangy abd spicy. but it bit too spicy for Kirk.


Frying the chicken is messy, oil are spilling everywhere. However, it taste really nice, and crispy, sweet with honey, and a bit of spice. The paste didnt turn out at all. Mortar and pestle just couldnt get the curry indegrent to form a paste.

Green curry taste, plain. It might be beacause, I couldnt get the curry paste.


Time taken 59minutes. Not a bad time. With all the chopping and pounding.
