Dodo's Kitchen: Easy Peasy Sardine Rolls

Ingredients:

1) Sardines in tomato sauce

2) Bread (firm white bread, not the one with lots of holes ;p )

3) Egg white

4) Egg yolk
5) Green peas ( optional. i'm just trying to finish the contents of my fridge. )

Cooking steps:

1) Cut the sides of the bread and fill it with some mashed mixture of sardine and peas.

2) Roll. Put some egg white at the 'closing' side of the roll. Press down a little so it sticks.

3) Cut into two for bite size pieces. 

4) Brush some egg yolk on the surface of the bread to you'll get a nice golden brown colour. (i like it black a bit, crunchier.)

Oven Setting:

1) Preheat the oven to a 120C for 5-10 minutes.

2) Bake the rolls until you get the colour you desire. I usually bake it for about 8-10 minutes. 

Now if you don't want to waste the bread crumbs and left over egg. Check out my very own Baked French Muffin recipe! :)

Before and After

Felicia's Dad's Chicken Roast Recipe
 Ingredients:
 1) About 200 grams of chicken pieces.
 2) Garlic
 3) Salt
 4) Ungrounded Black Pepper

D'Dodo tweaked it:
1)Carrot
2) Lemon ( I think the dish is better without the lemon :p )
3) Ground Black Pepper (it's what I had and it worked just fine)
4) Green Peas to garnish

Cooking Steps:

1) Preheat the oven to 240•c for 10 mins. 

2) Then, just before you put the chicken and carrots in - lower it to 200•c. Cook for about 25 mins for really  small chicken. 30 mins for like KFC chicken sized pieces. 

3)Then the last 10-15 mins of your cooking, you lower the heat to 170•c and change the oven setting to cook from the top burner. This way the chicken is not overdone and you get a nice brownish colour. Don't forget to glaze :)

From Pamela Teh Dass's Kitchen: Chicken Pieces Cooked in Milk and Fragrant Leaves

Left: Pamela's Version. Right: D Dodo's

Pamela's Recipe

Ingredients:

Bite-sized chicken pieces (I used quarter of a whole chicken) to be marinated in 3 or 4 tbsp of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce for at least 1/2 hour. [if no L&P sauce, u can marinate in 1 tbsp oyster sauce and 1 tsp salt] 

1 stem curry leaves
3/4 tbsp chopped ginger
3 to 6 cili padi, chopped finely
4 tbsp milk
3/4 tbsp sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Steps:

1. Heat enough oil to deep fry chicken pieces til golden and cooked. Drain the oil from chicken pieces and leave aside.
2. Leave abt 3 tbsp of oil in the pan. Remove the rest. Fry curry leaves, ginger and cili padi until fragrant. Add in milk and sugar.Season with salt and pepper.
3. Lastly, add in fried chicken pieces and mix well with sauce. 
4. Voila! E-A-T!  

What D' Dodo tweaked in this recipe:

 1) I didn't chop all the chili padi. 

2) I added more milk (2 tablespoons extra)

3) I marinated the chicken with oyster sauce, salt and a little tumeric

4) I added extra curry leaves and didn't cut them into pieces.
