During the weekends without yaya, I always think of something that is easy to prepare and cook. Today, I made Steamed Kangkong in Oyster Sauce flavored with garlic flakes.

Ingredients:

Kangkong

Oyster Sauce

Garlic Chips (ready made that comes in jars)

Preparation and Method:

1. Cut the ends of Kangkong.
2. Cut the remaining into 3.
3. Wash thoroughly.
4. Steam the Kangkong stems and leaves for 5 minutes.
5. Then add the Oyster Sauce until the stems and leaves are covered.
6. Break some garlic chips.
7. Top it on a hot white rice.

Ingredients:

One loaf of Gardenia bread
2 eggs
One pack of ham
One pack of bacon
Half-bar of Cheddar Cheese
Bread Crumbs

Steps:

Flatten the bread slices using a rolling pin. In my case, I used a bottle of wine and covered it with a plastic film coz I don’t have a rolling pin.

Cut the ham slices into half, and the bacon as big as the width of the bread. Do the same with the cheese and arrange them this way:

Roll it the way you roll a lumpia. Then dip it in a beaten egg, and roll it on bread crumbs.

Deep fry the rolls until its brown.

Ingredients:

3 full heaps tablespoon if milk powder (I used Nido Fortified here, my daughter’s milk teehee!)
1/2 cup of Butter Scotch choco chips (this pack had been lying in our fridge since summer I guess, so I thought it could give a better flavor and shouldn’t go wasted)
1/3 cup of water
Marshmallows (optional for toppings)

You would need:
Mixing bowl
Aluminum (foil) tray (the size that fits in an oven toaster)
Measuring cups
Oven toaster

Here’s how:

4. Mix it well till it looks like this.
5. Grease the aluminum tray with a drop of oil or butter.
6. Pour the mixture to the greased aluminum tray.
7. Put it in the oven toaster and set it to 10 minutes.
