[Recipe] Chicken Veggie

3:00:00 pm

Hello again! How are you guys? This time I'm gonna share my simple recipe.

Yeah, recipe!
Since I live by myself -no maids to cook for me-, I need to improve my cooking skill.
I also want to maintain my healthy lifestyle and at the same time, I need to save more money.
That's why everyday I try to cook something new.


I can't really cook, so I only make a simple dish for myself.
This way, you can try to make it for yourself at home! ;D



I called it Chicken Veggie.


What you need:

⊙ utilities ⊙
- frying pan
- spatula

⊙ seasoning ⊙
- oil
- garlic
- bbq sauce / oyster sauce / anything you like but it has to be soy-sauce kind of type.
- salt (optional)
- chili sauce / chili powder

Oil - Oyster Sauce - Mince Garlic - Chili Powder

⊙ ingredients ⊙
- rice
- chicken (non bones)
- veggies you like (carrots, tauge, mushroom, cabbage).


Notes:
In Japan, they sell mix veggies for 2-3 people portion, so I usually buy that kind of mix veggies.
They have a lot of mix veggies type to choose.
If your market doesn't have mix veggies, you can buy them seperately and cut them by yourself.


Let's begin~  εεε==╭(^▽^)╯♬♬


1. Put a little bit of salt, bbq sauce and chili sauce on the raw chicken and mix them together. Leave them for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut and rinse your veggies. How much chili sauce/powder you put is depend on how much you like spicy food.



2. Put your pan on the stove and pour a little bit of oil. Turn on the stove and put some slice garlic (in my case, it's mince garlic).


3. After the garlic turned a little bit yellowish to brownish, put the now-seasoned chicken into the pan. Lower the heat into medium. Flip the chicken to see if it was done or not. The meat will turn white not pinkish anymore.

 
4. After you done flip all the chicken, put a little bit of bbq sauce and half cup of water. Mix them together. Increase the fire level a little bit until you can see the chicken sizzle. After that, cover the pan and wait for 3 minutes. The chicken will be a nice golden color.


5. After 3 minutes, open the pan and throw all the veggies in. Mix them together and cover the pan for another 2-3 minutes.



6. Turn off the stove and open the pan.
Aaaannnndddd, it's done!



So, what do you think? If you wonder why I didn't go details on all the seasoning things, it's because I just put them all without calculating the exact number/gram. If I think it's lack something, I will put a little bit of sauce -just a little bit and taste. Repeat the action until you find it right.-


Goodluck!
If you tried this, please share your experiences with me! :D


See you again soon!

Adjusting well

5:06:00 pm

Hello, everyone! It's saturday already. How's your weekend?
Mine was pretty exciting. My housemate hold a halloween party today, and everyone have to bring their own food and drinks to share. :) I'm going to pop some popcorn tonight.

Anyway, it's my third week here, and i'm adjusting pretty well. Everyone in the house are kind and pretty helpful. I'm glad to choose sharehouse instead of apartment. LOL~

All this time, I've been trying to save up some money so I've been cooking every morning. If you follow me in instagram or happened to befriend me on path, you will see everyday I post my brunch menu. (∩_∩) They're pretty simple and easy to make, and really help me to save some money.

Oglio pasta with ham

Lapchiong, egg (should be sunny side up but i'm failed), and veggie.

If you realized something, I always add some veggies in all my food (except the pasta). Yeah, I'm trying to maintain my healthy diet here so I've been craving some fruits and veggies everyday. By the way, do you want the recipe? It's easy to make and won't take too much time to make. Just comment if you want the recipe. :D

The last thing is, I didn't bring my camera nor my tripod to Japan, so I couldn't take outfit photos. I'm really sorry about this. I will search for camera soon, so please be patient. Anyway, I have to go now to prepare the party, so I will see you soon! :D

My first week

11:52:00 pm



Hi everyone! :D

I finally moved to Tokyo, Japan. \(≧o≦)/ It's unbelieveable actually. Never thought my dream would come true, but really, God always has His own plan. It's been a week since I moved to Tokyo, but I haven't feel like it's real. I still feel like I'm travelling here. Well, since I have to accompany my parent to see around the city, and with my limited japanese skill, I do feel like tourist. XD

My lazy self inside my hotel room

It's been a busy week since I have to move in and unpack all my things, not to forget all the shopping stuff. I'm glad to have my parents helped me moving in and brought my stuffs to my room. I'm also glad to know that I could do things on my own, like putting the dresser together, brought the bookshelf from the shop to my room on foot. LOL~ Back in Jakarta, I got my driver and my maids to do all the stuff for me. So, I'm glad I moved to Tokyo. I can try to be more independent. :D

Today's lunch at Harajuku


Tokyo is full with Halloween decoration now. Everywhere I go, I always see cute cakes/shop decoration/ice cream/chocolates in halloween themes. Basically they're preparing for the costume party, and I definitely want to see their version of Halloween! :D Gonna update about it after the date!


One thing I regret I left behind was my body pillow. I can't sleep well without it. T^T  All the body pillow here are to short and too cute (like picture above). I really want my body pillow!  (∏ _ ∏) I hope my sister will come soon and bring me my body pillow. Dx

Anyway, before I go to bed, I want to share a little bit of my room and my shopping haul. hihi..



Welcome my paradise - anime merchandise and figurine! Gonna try to seek some with cheap price to complete my collection of figurine back home. I still need naruto figurine (the big one), and some of Kuroko no Basuke figurine (chibi version).

Okay then, until I write again! :D
psstt.... If you want to see more about my daily updates about living in Tokyo, please go to my instagram or dayree. :D



See you again!

さよなら, Jakarta!

Hey everyone! By the time this post is posted, I might be on my way to Tokyo. If you're one of my loyal reader, you must have known that I'm moving to Tokyo for studying. I'm pretty nervous with this big step in my life! I never really think I would go abroad all my life even though I always dreamt of it all the time. Well, it had to do with my comfort zone. haha..





I've been on my mellow mood lately since I'm leaving my family, my dearest cousin, my soulmates (KUTU), and my friends back in Jakarta. I've never really been separated from them for a long time, so this feeling is new for me. I always believed that I'm pretty much independent, but now I'm not so sure. (―˛―“)

I just hope everything and everyone will be alright. I also hope I will be okay on my own. I




What I wore: Dress from Mangga Dua | Black Skirt (under the dress) from Uniqlo
Shirt used as outer from Uniqlo | Bag from Charles & Keith
Belt unbranded | Necklace unbranded | Wig from Pinokobeauty
Shoes from Payless

 I will update soon after I'm settled down in Tokyo! :D Until that time, please wait for my upcoming post! See you soon!


Don't forget to hype me here:
