Let's cook rice and a plate of long beans



This is the third time Wife goes outstation. I'm left with Son in the house. Doing crazy stuff keeps my sanity.



Quite scary at times because nobody to cling on. I went into the kitchen to cook rice for 3 minutes and the Son was making art pieces using his instant cereal. And he had time to stuff everything he could find in the living room, underneath the sofa.



After Son slept, it's time for me to start work. After folding the clothes, I cooked rice and long beans. This was how I did it.



After washing the rice for 4 or 5 times, here comes the most crucial part. First, use your index finger to measure the depth of the rice. Then, mark the level of the rice using the thumb. Make sure the level of water is similar.



Every rice cooker is the same. There is a coil in it; so make sure the area beneath the inner bowl is wiped. Any excess water will cause electrocution.



Remember to put the cooker on the 'Cooking' mode!



After cleaning the wok, the pan or whatever cooking ware you have, light up. After awhile, use your palm to feel the heat. If it 's hot, it's time to put in the oil. A bit of goodness will do just fine. And toss in the anchovies, bits of ham, pieces of chicken meat or simply red onion.






When you can smell the goodness, throw in the long beans. Then, toss the vegetables just like you do for the Prosperity Toss to make sure everything is coated with oil. Else, you get some parts which are not cooked. Use a chopstick to poke the long beans. If it pokes through, it means it's well cooked. Put in salt secukup rasa.


Our meals for the day

The work didn't stop there. Washing bottles, wiping bum, scrubbing the pans, bathing the Son, making milk ....
