hee any interesting bits to share?Originally posted by jetta:It's okay. Cooking is about learning from failure. I wasn't a good cook to start with but after 14+ years, my family's still alive and they don't complain much about my cooking.

water mus b boiling hot.Originally posted by MooKu:mm i love sesame oil. I always like to put some in my egg before frying it.
hmm that's a new way, adding sesame oil. ok i'll try it the next time i get to cook
but quick dip, will the veggies be cooked?
if u r unsure thn cook in 2 batches.
leaves jus dip n wen they change to a slightly darker shade of green thn remove from the pot. stems tt r thick (brocolli) can b sliced thinly n cooked similarly. usually even after the viggies r removed from the water they will still b 'cooking' tts y if u overboil them. by the time your guest sit down. the veggies will b vry withered -

I put the broccoli to cook in boiling water, then i went to tend to my fish for a while. By the time I remembered, the broccoli was so overcooked, my sis said they practically melted in her mouth
ooo. do i add water to the soup or used the condensed one straight from the can? and what kind of cheese do you put? -
dont forget to rest em in cold water when u remove from the 1st batch.. to stop the cooking. or else there is no point of cooking in batches.Originally posted by MooKu:hmm okay, noted. thanks! -
Ever tried microwaving broccoli instead? I do that now. Just place flowerets in a covered dish, with a little water, microwave for like 1 min, depending on quantity and voila, done.Originally posted by MooKu:oooooooh. Did i mention, on the day i cooked baked fish, i had broccoli as well.

as for the type of cheese...you can use pretty much whatever hard cheese you want...
but usually people just add either parmesan,cheddar, mozzarella...or a combi of those...
be adventurous when cooking...

wow so many things!
i'll write them down and stick on the fridge!

NEVER microwave water on its own...
cos if it explodes and you are unlucky, you can say BYE BYE to your face... -
What I like to do with fish fillet is to cook them in the microwave. Let them sit on a bed of cucumbers skin side down, then add a couple pieces of slices lemon, tomatoes, jullienned garlic and minced garlic. Add a few dashes of salt and drizzle some sesame oil on top. Microwave covered for like 5 or 10 mins, depending on size of fillets.Originally posted by MooKu:umm nope. i think i should buy some dill. my mom likes to buy alot of fish fillets lately then i can try with my tuna egg sandwich too! -

i always do that leh... to make coffee or whatever.Originally posted by udontknowme:NEVER microwave water on its own...

like, usually i'll microwave it so that it's just hot enough to dissolve those things, or if i'm making coffee and tea, i'll make sure it really boils. Otherwise I'll lower in the tea-bag slowly in case the water bubbles out like volcano eruption. -
And never an egg.Originally posted by udontknowme:NEVER microwave water on its own...

I was foolish enough to put an egg in a bowl of water and microwaved it.
LOL.
But that was when I was in primary 4.
I can cook now, albeit not very well. -
no...Originally posted by jetta:I hope you're not speaking from experience ume.
