Cooking Rice Using Microwave

It's new to Me as in Malaysia, we tend to cook rice by using rice cooker.
I don't have a microwave at home, so i don't really know how to use microwave for the first time.
Thanks to YouTube, i learn a lot from there and microwave is nothing strange to me now!
Using Microwave is simple like one-two-three =B

It's quite suffer when i can't cook my rice from rice cooker when am in UK for studying. 
There are some common ways that can cook rice. 
First of all is using pan, rice cooker or microwave.

Using pan is so time consuming and you have to look after for the heat to prevent overcooked. Rice cooker is the good but i don't really have to buy a new rice cooker in UK as the rice cooker here is not cheap! =/
so, i look ways and learn to use microwave to cook my rice since my hostel provide us one =)

It's really really easy to cook rice using microwave. 
Let me show you how

Ingredient and tools needed:
  1. 3 table spoon of rice (1 person serving)
  2. Bowl/ Microwavable container with cover
  3. Small plate
  4. Microwave
Steps:
  1.  Prepare 3 tablespoon of rice



2. Next wash rice twice with tap water 
3. Then, fill up the water just cover around 2cm from the rice at the bottom



4. After wash, put into the microwave and cover with a small plate to prevent water spill out. It's good if you have microwavable container with cover. There might be some water spill on the microwave spinning plate.


5. Then set in the timing for 5 mins at the highest heat. (Heat and time might be vary to each microwave, the best advice is check 2 mins in the interval for the first time you cook)


Benefits to use microwave cook rice is that cooked rice won't stick on bowl and it's fast and convenient.
Enjoy your rice =9

Chinese Style Steam Cod Fish 清蒸鳕鱼


I can't remember day that i ate cod fish
I can only taste cod fish when am in restaurant back to Malaysia and it is superb expensive!
Meanwhile i saw cod fish at the market nearby Sheffield town. 2 big chuck for only 4 pound = RM20. For this 2 chunk sell in Malaysia will cost you up to RM60 over.

No doubt, i bought and show my mum through Skype. Lol =D
For better taste, i cook it through steaming by using oven as i don't have a steaming tools with me in UK.

Let's start,
Ingredient needed:
  1. Cod Fish
  2. pinch of salt 
  3. onions
  4. oil
  5. Chinese soy sauce
  6. Aluminium foil 
Get ready the aluminum foil slightly bigger than the fish chunk. 
Locate fish chunk on the aluminium foil and apply a pinch of salt on it, put aside.
Heat up the pan and fry onion with a little bit of oil.
After onion turn golden brown color,pour onto the fish chunk that you have placed on the aluminium foil.
Follow buy 1 tablespoon of chinese soy sauce, that's it!

Now, foil the edges of the aluminium foil to track the moisture while u cook in the oven.
Set the over for 15 minutes at temperature 120.

Let's see how it looks like after cook =)
