Stir Fried Roast Duck with Spring Onion and Coriander

 Stir Fried Roast Duck with
Spring Onion and Coriander
What do you do if you have left over Roast Duck?
Of course, to stir fry it!
This dish was done last few months ago and nearly totally forgotten
about it.  My husband loves to eat any stir fried meat with garlic,
spring onion and coriander.  You can have this method of stir fry
for left over chicken or other meat.



 Some leave over of Roast Duck.
1/2 handful of Coriander (wash, clean and cut into 1 inch of length)
1/2 handful of Spring Onion (wash, clean and cut into 1 inch of length)
2 cloves of Garlic (minced)



 Heat up 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and stir fry the garlic.
Do not over brown the garlic.



 Add in the Roast Duck and stir fry for two minutes.



 Add in the Spring Onion and Coriander.



Stir fry for another 2 minutes and season with salt and pepper.



Now you have another delicious home cook dish instead 
of throwing it away.  Am I right?
Happy Cooking and hope you have a wonderful long holiday.

Aloe Vera With Red Dates Drink

Aloe Vera with Red Dates Drink
 My kids love this drink. You can call it herbal drink or even Tong Sui
but at the end, it is just one delicious drink. 
I bought this Aloe Vera from an Organic Shop and cost me only
RM2.80 which is cheap to me since I don't have this plant.
To chinese, this drink is "Yun" to our body (boosts immune system).
My kids said that this drink taste exactly the same  from the famous shop
that we bought.  With the crazy weather nowadays, do boil it for your family.
It is cheap to boil by our self and even great to know that we can have
more of the Aloe Vera compare to store bought.
1 pc of Aloe Vera
6 pcs of Red Dates (wash and seeded)
 My sister in law taught me the easiest method to handle the Aloe Vera.
DO NOT PEEL it cause it is very slimy and difficult to handle.
Cut around 4 to 6 inches in length and slice into half.
You will noticed the orange slimy dripping out....no worry,
just need to soak all of it into water for 10 minutes.
 After soaking for 10 minutes, rinse it well and drip all the water.
 Use sharp edge of  the soup ladle to scoop out the Aloe Vera.
See....so easy.
 Cut the Aloe Vera into desired sizes.
 Boil 1.5 liter of water with red dates for 45 minutes with medium fire.
Towards 30 minutes, add in the sugar cane rock sugar.
 After 45 minutes, add in the Aloe Vera and cook for 5 minutes only
and then switch off the fire.
You can drink it cold or warm.
I prefer warm and my kids prefer cold.

Stir Fried Potato and Mushroom with Black Pepper

Stir Fried Potato and Mushroom
with Black Pepper
Today is the last day of Puasa Month (Fasting Month) for Muslims.
They will be celebrating Hari Raya tomorrow and my family
and I would like to take this opportunity to wish our Muslim friends
Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri!
During the Puasa Month, our company will close at 4.00 pm and
our lunch of 1 hour will be shortened to 30 minutes.  Since we are not fasting,
it is very difficult to look for food within 1/2 hour.
So, we take turns to bring home cooked food to the office.  
This dish was cooked by me on Wednesday night for Thursday's lunch.
Even though this dish is meatless, my colleagues gave me a thumbs up.
As usual, they remind me to list this dish in my blog ;)

I did not weigh these ingredients because I was a bit tired. 
I reached home at 8.00 pm and cooked this dish straight away.
By looking at these pictures, I believe you will be able
to estimate it.



1/2 hand full of Spring Onion.
Shimeji Mushroom.
6 Australia Chat Potatoes.
6 cloves of Garlic.



Potatoes - Cut into quarter.
Shimeji Mushroom - Cut the bottom.
Spring Onion - Cut the white part away and cut into 2 inches.
Garlic - Minced.



Potatoes - Cook in salted water, drain and keep aside.



Heat up 2 tablespoon of cooking oil.
Add in minced Garlic, 3 teaspoons coarse Black Pepper and
1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce.



Remember not to burn the Garlic.
Stir until the Garlic slightly brownish.



Add in the Potatoes and Shimeji Mushroom.



Stir for 2 minutes.



Add in 1 tablespoon of Butter and stir until melted.



Add in Spring Onion and stir until well combined.
Add more Black Pepper or salt, if necessary.



Switch off the fire once the sauce is thicken and dry up.



While blogging this, my daughter told me that she secretly steal
some to taste and said it was flavourful.
My colleagues finished off the whole plate.  So happy to know
that they have enjoyed my home cook food.
