麻辣咖喱鸡 Spicy Kapitan Chicken

To accommodate for the maids and gardener, we occasionally cook 2 too 3 meat dishes throughout the week. The meat dishes are either chicken or prawns as red meat is not favored by most of them. 

尽管家中所煮的食物偏向多素少肉，但是为了配合女佣和园丁们家里每一个星期里都会煮2至3道的肉类给予他们。由于他们不爱吃红肉，一般上都是以鸡或虾为主。

Although fish seems to be another good alternative but somehow my hubby could never tolerate the fishy aftertaste of the fish bought in Jakarta.We have tried many ways to cut down the fishiness through numerous cooking methods with little success. Since then we have banned the cooking of fish at home with the exception of canned tuna and anchovies.

虽然鱼会是一项较健康的选择，坏在丈夫不能接受之前印尼所购买的鱼类，不管怎么调味，用尽多种的煮法都不能去掉浓厚的鱼腥味。之后家里除了罐头金枪鱼及江鱼仔外就不再买任何的鱼类来煮了。

This is an adapted version with reduced spiciness for my hubby. Feel free to adjust the chili paste to your preference.

这是特别煮给丈夫的‘减辣’版本咖喱鸡。您若偏爱吃辣可以增加辣椒酱的份量。

咸煎饼 Salty Dough Fritters

This is a much better recipe as compared to the previous one I did. The texture remains chewy the next day. All you have to do is to preheat the oven to 150C for 10 mins, then off the oven and leave the overnight fritters in the oven for 5-10 mins. You will still get the freshly made texture.
这道咸煎饼食谱比我之前所尝试的更好，就算留隔夜后煎饼还是Q软不失口感。您只要先预热烤箱10分钟至150C度，然后熄火再把隔夜煎饼放入烤箱里加热5至10分钟就可得到如新出炉般的饼质。

Been itching to make this for some time until yesterday I decided to start the preparation. There are 2 phase of prep work here. After tasting it, I hereby adapted the recipe as follows:-

素香糯米饭 Savory Vegetarian Glutinous Rice

Every Monday, 1st and 15th day of every chinese lunar calendar month is the official day whereby my husband and the entire household staff practice full day vegan diet. For me, of course its a daily affair but instead of pushing everyone to follow suit, it is best to slowly introduce vegetarian diet gradually until they are totally weaned from meat products.

我丈夫和家里的员工们在每逢星期一，初一十五都是守全日斎。虽然我已吃长素数年，但还是选择让他们慢慢地接受吃素，给予时间放弃肉类的食物。

Over the years, these fixed days of vegetarian day observation have gradually transformed to more frequent days and the need for more variety of vegetarian recipes deepens.

在这数年里，之前原订的6日守斎日也逐渐增加而大家都较少接触肉类多吃蔬菜。因此更需要寻找不同的素菜食谱来增添口味。

This recipe is adapted from the meat version from one of my newspaper clippings collections.

这道食谱是从收集报刊中修改而成，希望您喜欢。
