simple cheese sauce

ok!

something popped in my head...what about mixing chicken stock ( homemade or store bought will do.. ) with some cheese?
well...i did!
i use (happen to keep some at home) chicken stock and smoke cheese (i kept pre-packed cheese slices from KRAFT and smoke cheese)...
i didnt make it thick sauce , cause i'm going for the soupy kinda bits.
my spaghetti is aldente , transfer it to a wok with little heat then turn off the heat and plunked cheesy sauce in and mixed!
no need for salt...pepper yes.add some chilli....finely chopped.
its best to eat hot..

when u add the cheese , make sure the stock is hot so cheese melts away.when all cheese melts and it slowly thicken (not to thick though..) then u know its done.

try it!!

Potato Spring Roll

ooops!! wrong orders......:)

i often made this for my family for a snack or just eat it with rice..

as for the spring roll itself , any kind of filling you want to use , have it your taste!

ingr.:

- big spring roll skin store bought.

(note : i dont feel like making it..so i bought them!)

- some potato ( 2 or 3 ) , diced them to little mini cubes.

- mince chicken..i have some leftovers at home...

- onions (prefer the ordinary onions...)

- salt and pepper

- 1 egg to stick the spring roll , mixed.

steps :

- put some oil , saute onions till soft but not brown them.add the potato...cook all the way till half done.

- add chicken and keep stirring so no lumpy chicken....

- add salt and pepper to taste.cooked all the way through.....

- set aside till cool with temperature room.....

- prepare the skin in a flat base...take a scoop (this is depends on how much you want..) , rolled them nicely.however you like....just be sure to stick them together at the end with the egg.

- heat up some oil and fried the spring roll till golden brown.

note :

while cooking the filling , to add some flavour try add some chicken stock ( it help soften the potatoes too ).also you can add an egg and scrambled them as soon as possible..

anyway you like!

have fun with your food........

why on english?

if u wonder why everything on english?
and the english sucks...:))

its because i wanted everybody to know and understand the food.especially when i cook Indonesian food.
Indonesian food is a cultural food...i always miss this home cooking because i always think nothing beats Indonesia in a matter of taste , spices etc.

if i add some fancy schmansy food like the pastas etc. its only to add some variety...
forgive if i'm not doing it right..but its my food , my cooks and most surely , my blog.

enjoy and again , have fun with u'r food!
