THE PRINCESS (COOKING) DIARY

Hello! 3 weeks never blog d suddenly don't know how to start wtf

Okay, so today I'm going to share a recipe with you guys. SURPRISE!!~ This Puteri, who has never been into the kitchen or hold a frying pan all her life is going to share a recipe here. Seriously, the hardest "food" I have ever "made" throughout 27 years was cup noodle wtf

Eh, need to pour boiling water one leh, very challenging already ok!

So, back to my surprise dish. I was actually inspired by my friend who made really good and tasty spaghetti with sausage and luncheon meat. Secretly, I also go Google for some cooking tips before embarking on my cooking project last week. After (much) research, I've decided to cook based on instinct and get whatever ingredients I feel like eating.

With that, allow me to present you, SPAGHETTI MEATO TOMATO ---> I "invent" this eh, can or not wtf

SPAGHETTI MEATO TOMATO

Ingredients that you need:

Spaghetti (200gm is about portion for 2)
Meat a.k.a pork (ditumis with garlic)
Sausage (3 sticks wtf)
Mushroom (4 biji)
Carrot (1 batang medium-sized)
Crabmeat stick (4 batang)
Kimball bottled sauce (half-jar)
Campbell mushroom soup (appetizer)

First step, open Campbell soup wtf Seriously, I've never use a can opener all my life. Really, I don't know how to use a can opener! I took 10 minutes to kaji where to start but still fail to figure out.


Ended up, I get a kain buruk, sit comfortably on my sofa and poke hole by hole with the sharp edge T_____________T


Hard work man, really hard work T_______T Try poke hole by hole for almost 25 minutes and see. But surprisingly, my fingers were not hurt during this dangerous process but my nails, which was nicely done and colored the day before, all gone *curse*

Next, boil spaghetti. I used half a packet of it, which is about 200gm, enough for 2 pax.

My kitchen very neat one, almost like brand new hehe
Get the pots and pans ready. Boil water. Added in some salt. (Like Chef Wan said, "garam secukup rasa"). At 180 degree I very kan cheong dee ok! What if I got so clumsy and whole pot siram on my face then habislah EPF also not enough for plastic surgery =.................=


When you see bubbles and got "pi plop pi plop" sound, it's a sign that spaghetti should be added in.


Allow it to soften
Meanwhile, pour the content of pepejal Campbell soup into a pot. The soup should be cooked last as it is best served hot.

I get bored very easily. It took around 6-8 minutes for spaghetti to soften to desirable level. Therefore, I waste no time and maximize the usage of big mirror in my living room wtf

Stick my tongue out like a pup =___________= Sweat so much ar so only one ss pic pass QC.


So the spaghetti siap. Not too soft or too hard. Exactly how I wanted it to be, spongy. Drain kan all the water and put it in a bowl.


Next, masak the ingedients. First, stir-fry the meat with garlic and oil. I was afraid if I straight away cook in the sauce later kena lao sai.


When the meat is masak, add in sauce and other ingredients in the following sequence: carrot -> sausage -> mushroom -> crabmeat stick. I made a mistake by adding in carrot last, which is why my carrots were still hard when all the other stuffs were already cooked to perfection.


When this step is done, tutup gas and drain the spaghetti with some cold water so that it doesn't feel sticky. Then, pour the sauce onto the spaghetti and tada~~ BERJAYA!

Now, can cook mushroom soup d. Very easy, don't need picture.


No one believes that I can do this. Not even my mum. So when I showed her this photo, she wept tears of joy wtf I'm so proud of myself too. At least when 1300-13-1300 doesn't pick up my calls, I won't die in starvation. Overall, it tasted not that bad la just that the carrot is a little bit hard and the sauce is kinda watery. There's still "room for improvement", as claimed by Vic who willingly became my guinea pig lalala~

Next up, maybe I'll try to make some Chinese food. If this weekend free, then wait for my post ba =) 

p/s: Now that I can cook, anyone wants to marry me? *big wet eyes*
