My love for food is so great that many things have to be sacrificed including my waist line. Little need to be said, nice food means fats and that translates to our enlarged waist lines. I'm not a professional cook here, neither am i a nutritionist but, one thing i'm certain of is that i'm a FOODIE!
This is something i made yesterday with the thought of dieting:
It does look very healthy, but i assure you, its satisfying. The ingredients are:
Olive Oil ( Any other light tasting oil
Garlic
Herbs ( Italian/ mixed/ herbs du Provence/ your favourites)
Chinese Wine( White wine is more suitable, but its not readily available)
Calamaries/ Squid ( Any other meat/ seafood alternatives)
Mushroom (Any type of mushrooms)
Pak Choy ( Optional/ other vege you like)
Chillies ( Red mild ones/ chilli flakes)
Spring Onions( chopped)
Spagetti ( Any type of pasta you have and little! )
Seasoning ( Pepper and Salt)
One glance at the above list of ingredients, only garlic is the necessary ingredients here and you must be generous with the garlic. Put them into a wok according to the sequence of ingredients above and it will turn out nice. If you're not in need of dieting and you want to impress someone important, put in bacon when you fry the garlic, it'll taste sososo much better!
So what's so special about this plate of food above? It's inspired by Aglio Olio at the making, but in an average Malaysian home, parsley and white wine is not the usual ingredient you find at home. Hence, i throw in many more other ingredients that i thought might work out.
My style of cooking is simple, throw in ingredients that you think might work! If it doesn't, DONT!
