Onward with another adventure, another opportunity

Have left my ex co after working 4.5years there... one of the longest period of time that I have worked in a company. Seen a lot of colleagues going and coming...
Mixed feelings. Happy with the new adventure that I will be embarking on and yet... I think I will mix my bunch of colleagues.

So now I have about a week's off before I start my new work and am trying to cook for the family. :)

Made Japanese stew the other day.
Surprisingly easy to make.

ingredients
Beef cut into cubes
bonito stock
potatoes cut into cubes/ chunks
carrots cut into cubes/ chunks
sake or white cooking wine
1 onion chopped
pepper
soy sauce
brown sugar

steps
brown the onions then add in beef (marinate with pepper, soy sauce) to brown as well.
add in bonito stock and bring to a boil, then switch to low fire and simmer for about an hour
then add in carrots and potatoes and simmer for about another 30mins till vegs are all soft and meat tender.
Serve with plain rice.

Kady loved it so I might just make it again. :)

Yesterday I made Cashew Nut & Walnut Soup, Stir Fried Pork with OJ and normal stir fried vegs.

Tonight's menu - Five Spice Pork Trotters with Lemongrass, Stir Fried Broccoli with Prawns and Meat patties... :)
