Steamed Squid with Minced Meat

I cooked this dish about 2weeks ago. Did I tell you I love porridge? Well, this is one of the dishes I prepared to complement my porridge hehe :)

Just retrieved from the wok, piping hot!

Sliced! Are you drooling already?

Ingredients (for 4 pax share):

- 2 pieces of squid of average size
- Approx 120g - 150g of minced pork (costs me abt $2 from wet mkt)
- 1 tablespoon of tapioca starch
- 2 teaspoons of soya sauce
- 1 garlic, chopped finely
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of cooking oil

How to cook:

- Washed the squid thoroughly with the salt.
- Mixed the minced pork with the garlic, starch and soya sauce.
- Stuffed the seasoned minced pork inside the squid.
- Added the cooking oil over the dish.
- Heated the wok with water to get ready to steam the dish.
- Put in the dish inside the wok when the water boils and keep it for 5-10mins.
- Remove the dish from the wok and sliced the squid.

Note:
You may add in chili (chopped finely) to the minced meat if you like it spicy.

Steamed Beancurd

I am cracking my brain to DIY some dishes convenient for my MIL to prepare for Trenyce when she returns from her CNY holiday. MIL normally prepares porridge for her and the little girl eats porridge day in day out except on days that MIL is not around as I like to cook rice for her instead of porridge. The troublesome part about preparing rice is that you will have to prepare the dishes separately, unlike porridge, you can just dump everything in.

So, today (duno if I have become smarter or what hahaha) I suddenly have an idea to prepare this steamed dish with meat, egg, tofu and broocoli for Trenyce and its yummy! :) Trenyce loves it and finshes her bowl of rice!

Simple and nutritious dish for the young ones at home! :)

Ingredients:

- one box of Silken Tofu (get the one for steamming, with red label)
- minced pork meat (If you go to wet mkt, its about $2 worth), mix it with some soya sauce and starch powder (note: starch powder is to soften the texture of the meat)
- 2 eggs (small), break and mix the eggs
- some broocoli, chopped (not too fine, about the size of a cube)

How to cook:
- Cut the tofu into large cubes and lay it on the metal plate
- Put the minced meat on top the tofu
- Pour the eggs over the meat
- Sprinkle the broocoli on top of the minced meat (if you like, you can add in some small carrot cubes)
- And finally, steam the tofu for 5-7mins
