Stir Fried Clam (Lala) with Garlic and Ginger

Stir Fried Clam (Lala)
with Garlic and Ginger
This dish is our family favourite.
I know my son upon seeing this photo, sure will miss it.
Cooked it last few weeks ago.
Will cook for him when my husband and I visit him next month,
if time permit us to do so.  It is inexpensive and easy to cook.
In the market, there is so many types of Clams (Lala).
The one that I am cooking is local Clams (Lala).



 Found this note posted by my daughter.
It's a note from my son to my daughter before he flies to UK to study.

"Take care of yourself and parents too.
Accompany them more as I'm not around especially Mum.
Study hard and aim for 2 A*s this time."

He is so adorable and loving writing this note to my daughter.
As said earlier, my husband and I are very proud of our
children.  Both of them doing great in their academic (never fail us
in their outstanding results), filial children to their parents and
grand parents. Wishing them more success and have a great life ahead.


Oop! I was so busy preparing three dishes for our dinner 
and has forgotten to take photos of the Clams (Lala), 
Ginger and Garlic ....sorry  :)
 410g *Clams (Lala) - around RM5.00
20g Chopped Garlic
70g Chopped Ginger
1 Chopped Chili

*Note : Soak with water for 20 minutes and then wash more than
four times.

Heat cooking oil and add chopped Garlic.
Stir fry for 3 minutes.



 Add chopped Ginger and chopped Chili.



 Stir fry until the garlic slightly brown.



 Add Clams (Lala) and stir fry until the shell of the clams turn orange colour.
Please do add water.  There will be water oozing out from those Clams (Lala).



 Add 2 tablespoon of Oyster Sauce and 1/2 cup of Chinese Wine.
Stir fry until combined. 

Note : We like the taste of the Chinese Wine, thus I added 1 cup.

Taste before dish up.  Serve immeditely.



My daughter saw me posting this dish and said "I want to eat".
Juicy, yummy, delicious Stir Fried Clams (Lala).

Stir Fried Chicken with Garlic, Ginger, Spring Onion and Cilantro

Stir Fried Chicken with
Garlic, Ginger, Spring Onion
and Cilantro


When I read that Little Thumbs Up's theme for the month of April 2015 is 
"Chicken"  organised by Zoe, Doreen (Mui Mui) and Diana, 
I jump with excitement because I know this dish will be like by all.  
Whenever I have the chance, I always introduce this dish to friends and strangers.  
It was taught by my mother in law.

But this time I cook this dish without the chicken rice.




*1/2 Free Range Chicken (cleaned and cut to pieces)
30g Garlic (chopped finely)
50g Ginger (chopped finely)
120g Spring Onion (cleaned and cut to 1 inch)
70g Cilantro (cleaned and cut to 1 inch)

* (note : boil the chicken to 3/4 cooked and chop into pieces)

You noticed that I put a lot of Spring Onion and Cilantro
because we love to have more of it.  
You can add less if you don't like it. Choice is yours.
No worry  :)



 Heat up cooking oil and add chopped garlic.
Stir 1 to 2 minutes (don't over brown the garlic).



 Add chopped ginger and stir 1 to 2 minutes.



 Add chopped chicken and stir until the meat cooked
(no more reddish in colour).



 Add some soya sauce and dark soya sauce and stir until
well combined.



 Lastly, add cut spring onion and cilantro.



Stir until well combined and dish up.



Yummy?
You will be the judge.

Have a happy weekend.
