Elvis’ Cooking Skills – Progress Report #2

Yes, it’s time again for the release of a progress report on Elvis’ cooking skills. If you have been staying tuned and read the various teasers last month (here, here and here), you would have realised that Elvis’ cooking has improved quite significantly since the Progress Report #1 was released slightly more than a month ago!

Okay, enough of the third-person voice. Haha! =D

I went to the supermarket today to buy quite a variety of items for cooking, including garlic (yes, and this time it’s indeed garlic, not onions!). I decided to cook a bigger dinner tonight for Tal and me, and spent quite some time to prepare the various dishes I wanted to prepare. The menu for tonight’s dinner includes (1) rice with sliced onions (which I’ve tried once before and wanted to increase the onion taste this time round), (2) fried eggs (specifically, it was a plate with 4 eggs being fried together. This is a dish which I have known how to cook since I was young, because it is so easy to fry eggs!), (3) Chinese-style stir-fry vegetables with ginger, onions and garlic (which I’ve tried several times and it’s becoming one of my favourite dishes due to its nutrition value), and (4) cooked chicken meat with garlic and onions and little soy sauce (the highlight for tonight’s dinner, as I have been trying to determine how long I should keep the meat on the frying pan without overcooking it). I know these weren’t sophisticated dishes, but nonetheless, I felt so satisfied when I was able to prepare this meal without having anything on the menu ‘instant’! Also, they tasted real good. Haha! I think I’m really becoming more enthusiastic and daring in learning to prepare more and better dishes in the remaining time I have here in Israel. Stay tuned for the next progress report! ;)

Chinese-style stir-fry vegetables, my favourite dish. ;)
