21st June 2008 - Chicken Soup for our Soul

We used the ready packed spices for our chicken soup again! :) It's convenient and delicious. What more could we asked?

Anyway, bought a copy of the local soup recipes recently for reference. Cannot always cooked using the ready packed spices, rite? Gotta have some variety.

Read somewhere that black rice is healthier than white rice, so bought some to try. It's purple actually. Smell like the black glutineous dessert. :)

I'm getting to like spinach. They are so soft to eat. But so far, I'd only tried cooking with spinach, 'chicken feather', kailan. And it's always the same cooking style. I boiled the veg, set it aside, used a little of the boiled water to cook the gravy with oyster sauce & garlic and lastly, pour the gravy over the veg. Is this the only way to cook veg?? No rite? Hm..

Not sure how to handle the other veggies that i saw in the supermarket. Gotta do some research.
