I recommend you buying the potato chips or fries at the supermarket as the preparation is not worth the effort. But if you are eager to learn and want to make it on your own, try this easy one:

French fries recipe and other potato recipes.

Ingredients:
  • Potatoes
  • Oil for deep frying
  • Salt
Preparing your fries
  1. Peel and cut potatoes into even strips.
  2. Soak potatoes in cold water for 1 hour.
  3. Fry in deep fat at 325° for 5 minutes. Drain.
  4. Increase heat to 375° and fry until French fries are tender and nicely browned.
  5. Sprinkle generously with salt, then "toss" the fries to mix the salt evenly. ( I suggest about 1 teaspoon of salt, maybe slightly more)
  6. Serve hot, serve immediately, and enjoy!

Chicken Chop With Mushroom Sauce

[IMG_0107.JPG]
Ingredients
  • 1 piece of chicken breast
  • potato wedges
  • lettuce
  • tapioca flour
  • 2 finely chopped shallots
  • 1 finely chopped garlic
  • 1 egg
  • diced mushrooms
  • 1 green pepper
  • oyster sauce
  • Worcester sauce
  • thick cream
  • salt and black pepper (preferably peppercorn)
  • water
Instructions:
  1. Tenderise the chicken. If you have a contraption for this, that's fine. As for me, I dont and it all boiled down to brute force. I let my fists do the work.
  2. Marinate the chicken breast with Worcester sauce and leave to rest for 30 minutes
  3. While waiting, remove the skin of the green pepper. To do this, roast the pepper on your stove. The reason also is that it gives a smoky flavour and add another dimension to the taste. Along the way, you will hear some crackling noises. It truly freaked me out as I thought something might explode. (Just imagine the coroner's report - cause of death by green pepper. What a way to end your life). However, I later learnt that this just means that it's roasting. Keep rotating till every area has blackened. Once done, soak the peppers in cold water to stop the cooking process. Scrap off the skin with the sharp end of the knife and chop accordingly.
  4. Once the chicken breast has been marinated, dip it in egg before coating with flour. Cover all areas evenly. Add salt and pepper accordingly.
  5. Deep fry the chicken breast till golden brown.
  6. To prepare the sauce, saute the shallots and garlic followed by mushrooms and peppers.
  7. Add in the oyster sauce followed by water. To heat up things, add in the black peppercorn.
  8. Thicken the sauce by adding some cream.
  9. Pour onto the chicken and serve.
