super cheap cook- after workout food.

i always need protein for recovering my muscles from aching =.=
so i take up tuna mix with ketchup and also fried eggs for dinner.
depending on ur workout time. =..= i use to work out during the afternoon.. so yea..

ONE can of tuna- i use ayam brand one.. "tuna in water" cus it has low in fat and super low in carbs.drain the water off if you like. i dont usually drain them cus i'm lazy :)

few tablespoons of ketchup -or any other seasonings.. as long as it has low salt content.
i like ketchup and i will never replaced anything other than ketchup ==

just mix em.. but i also add additional spices like black pepper, curry powder,and also my favv tumeric powder..
just to spice things up.

put it in fridge for use in advance.

mind my crazy idea.. i use to skip carbs (meaning i didnt serve tuna with rice,pasta,bread,etc)and eat directly from the fridge. =.=
but then i prefer serving with pasta.. cus its soo niceeee

kedgeree (or kitcherie, kitchari or kitchiri)

i learned this recipe when im in form 5..when i was super boring with the o lvl holidays. i decide to take up cooking to kill time.

i got this recipe mag from aussie.. loong time ago.
this meal was introduced by the indians in UK.

hmm... i like this meal because i like curry and tumeric... i usually add them when i fry eggs with rice and also in pasta meals... so conclusion is.. i love something not salt added food.
this can be for the college students cus the ingredients are soo easy to manage and cheapo~~
for full blast..add tobasco or wasabi powder.. very keng lo.

one teaspoon of butter,
half brown onion, finely chopped
one tsp curry powder
1/4 lemon, juiced
half cup rice or basmati rice,
1 hard boiled egg(boil for 10 mins)
1/4 tin tuna flaked.

1. melt butter over medium heat. Add onion. cook for 3 mins .
Add curry powder and lemon juice. stir well combined.
2. add cooked rice to saucepan. stir until well coated.
cook , stir occasionally for 5-8 mins or heated through.
3. roughly chopped half of the egg. gently fold in through the rice with tuna flakes.
season with black pepper or salt. cook further 1-2 mins.
remove from heat and serve witht he remaining half of the egg for presentation look..

but i simply skip that cus i cook that for eat la hahaa.easy yah~~ EASY~~~

SORRY

a lot of things happened since i post my first entry. my pc got virus and it need to get formatted..college stress... friendship matters. and food....i even forgot my password for this blog...i promise to update more often...

what i cooked for my lunch when i was in a hurry for the next class. its just so so simple. tung hoon, glass noodles i guess, with broccolli and egg soup. i added in an egg cus i feel so weak throughout the day. so maybe protein can help me to boost up for my next class.

how i wish to bake cookies and muffins so everyone in this neighbourhood get to smell the aromatic sensation of homebake goodies *haha*in this house. just that theres no oven here..and i cant afford one though. no worries i'll get my sleeves up to bake once i'll be back to brunei to bake bake bake to my heart's content.
what i bought from cold storage at subang parade......
mac and cheese and microwave popcorn.
seriously the popcorn tastes awful..its salty ..bleh... >.< tho it cost cheap (RM3.99) for the mac and cheese i plan to try it maybe next weekend... its been a LONG time i had mac and cheese. now i finally can enjoy it.












I read throguh lots of food blogs and i got inferior about my amateur culinary skills... i'm always lazy when preparing food..because of college and all.. art college really aint easy at all.. all we have to do is draw draw draw till u drop *haha*

well i gotta do my assignments. catcha later
