Googled for more Confinement recipes, coz I wanted to give Jie some variety instead of repeating the previous day's menu, and found some easy to cook yummy pieces!!

Prepared the garlic & ginger on the pretty chopping board!!! =D

Confinement food is normally piled with ginger which is said to help to clear the wind inside the body.

1st Attempt @ Confinement Food
Thursday, May 03, 2012

BF's sister is doing her 1-mth confinement and she normally has her Aunt (who cooks AWESOME YUMS!!) to cook for her... However, Aunt cant cook today and tomorrow so Big Sis has kindly handed me the task of feeding her... I'm glad she trusts me with her meals since I hardly ever cook and I've never tried making Confinement food before.. 

It made me smile when she said it was all really good!!! =D

Grabbed some recipes off the internet and tweaked them a little:
(The Fried Rice Recipe was cooked to serve 3-4 because I cooked it at one go for Jie's Lunch and Dinner and figured I could eat some too.)

Fried Rice
(Added minced meat and kai lan to the original recipe..)  
(Serves 3-4)
2 cups uncooked rice
160g old ginger sliced & diced
4-5 cloves of garlic smashed & diced
100g minced meat (ngoh hui bak)
3 eggs beaten lightly
3 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
1 full stalk of leafy kai lan remove stalk
Soy Sauce

*Add 60g of old ginger to the minced meat and rub it into the meat. Marinate with some soy sauce after.

Method:
1) Heat up sesame oil and fry the garlic & the remaining ginger over a low fire until fragrant. You can tell when it turns a light golden color.

2) Add in the marinated minced meat. When meat is nearly cooked, add the beaten eggs slowly and stir-fry till cooked.

3) Add the bowl of rice and a little salt to the ginger and egg. Stir-fry over high heat till fragrant. Just before serving, add a little more soy sauce in and stir till all ingredients are well combined.

4) This Chinese Fried Rice with Egg and Ginger is best served immediately.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Almost similar to the linked recipe except that I substituted the wine with DOM.)
(Serves 1-2)
- 1 slice cod fish
- 30g old ginger diced
- 1/2 tbsp chinese wolfberries or goji berries

Seasoning:
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp DOM
- 1 tbsp sesame oil






Method:
1) Wash and dry the cod fish, at the same time, juliennes ginger.

2) Marinate the fish with seasoning, put into a steaming plate, sprinkle ginger and Chinese wolfberries on top, steam for 10 minutes under high heat, and the dish is ready to be served. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stir-Fried Kai Lan
(Serves 2-3)
This is something I came up with on my own..

2 full stalks of leafy kai lan remove stalk
200g of lean pork (yor bak) sliced - they cost about $25/kg @ the market..
2-3 cloves of garlic diced
60g old ginger diced
1 cup water
soy sauce
2-3 tbsp sesame oil

*Add 30g of old ginger to the minced meat and rub it into the meat. Marinate with some soy sauce after.

Method:
1) Boil kai lan in water til cooked. Drain water leave the kai lan to cool.

2) Heat up sesame oil and fry the garlic & the remaining ginger over a low fire until fragrant. You can tell when it turns a light golden color.

3) Add in the marinated meat. Cook til almost done.

4) Add 1 cup of water, 1-2 tbsp soy sauce, then add the kai lan and mix.

5) Cover the pan for 3 minutes.

Check that meat is tender and then it is ready to be served.
