Kaygee cooking up that soul food for breakfast

Looks nice tbh

[O.Man]

i can't cook

when i try to cook, my sense of time, taste and eyesight seem ti disappear.

I have no idea how long i should keep stuff in for, i have no idea what taste im looking for to see if its ready, and i suddenly can't tell by lookin at it whether its ready

every time i try and cook even pasta or rice i fail in epic proportions

late brunch my 90plus yr old grammy made me

[KayGee]

How do you prepare green banana and whats can u put it with? I had it at a friends party once in some stew/soup thing and it was really nice.

I just peel (leaving whole) and boil for around 20 minutes. Very simple.

You can make banana chips with them (just slice thinly and fry).

Boil them and mash them up and put with meats as you would potato.

Lots of stuff.

[KayGee]

For a spicy one-pot supper, this Malaysian noodle dish is simple yet satisfying. Do not let the long list of ingredients intimidate you once you¹ve assembled everything, it really takes no time to cook. However, if you¹re really short of time, try using a ready-made laksa paste (such as the one by Charmaine Solomon), which are sold in jars at good supermarkets.

150g dried rice noodles

400g tin coconut milk

400ml light chicken stock

1 lemon grass, split lengthways

3 skinless free-range chicken breasts

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tbsp fish sauce

2 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tsp sugar

Juice of ½lime, plus lime wedges to serve

100g bean sprouts, washed

3 spring onions, finely sliced

3 tbsp sesame oil

Leaves from a small bunch of mint and coriander

For the spice paste

3 long red chillies, trimmed, seeded and chopped

4 garlic cloves, peeled

5cm ginger, peeled and roughly chopped

4 shallots, peeled and roughly chopped

1 tsp ground turmeric

Small bunch coriander roots, stems and leaves, washed

3 tbsp groundnut oil

1 Soak the noodles in boiling water for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, make the spice paste. Put all the ingredients into a food processor and whiz to a coarse paste.

2 Fry the paste in a large saucepan for about 2 minutes until fragrant, stirring well to avoid it catching and burning. Add coconut milk, chicken stock and lemon grass. Bring to the liquid to the boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer.

3 Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and season. Add to the pot along with the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar and lime juice. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Tip in the bean sprouts and spring onions and cook for another minute.

4 Drain the noodles and toss with the sesame oil to keep them from clumping together. Divide between four large serving bowls and ladle soup over them, making sure that every bowl has some chicken and vegetables on top. Garnish with the lime wedges and mint and coriander leaves. Serve immediately.
