虾酱炸鸡 Shrimp Paste Chicken

If you love fried chicken but worry about the fats, here is one healthier and yet yummy version using air fryer.

您若是爱吃炸鸡但又担心油炸的高脂肪，这是一项采用汽炸锅的健康版本。味道并不输于传统油炸的炸鸡，炸出来的效果一样酥脆，里面软嫩。

Ever since we acquired an air fryer 2 years ago, I have assigned the reliable appliance to perform most of the deep frying cooking. I have no tried it for baking though hence can't comment much on the performance in terms of baking. Perhaps will give it a try one day and revert on my findings.

自从我们两年前购买了汽炸锅后，家里大部分的油炸式的烹饪工作都是交托给那架可靠的汽炸锅来取代。对于蛋糕及糕点的制做方面我还没正式去尝试，不能给予任何意见。或许将会试一试后才跟您分享结果。

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。
