Mushroom spaghetti

I have watched a Japanese cooking show on TV yesterday. And to my surprise, it was easy to cooking Italian Mushroom spaghetti.  Before i forget, i need to jot in down.

Ingredient:

Olive oil
3-4 types of mushrooms
Spaghetti - cook al-dente
salt a pinch
butter - 2 spoon
flour - 2 spoon
2 pcs of garlic
2 pcs of chili padi/chili

In a flat pan, pour oilve oil. When is it warm, drop in the garlic, turn down the heat when it starts to bubbling, removee garlic when its turning golden brown. Drop in the chili padi. let it 'boil" for a while. Remove. This way, the olive oil is "stain' with the fragrant of the garlic n chili.

Throw in the mushrooms and add a litttle salt. Keep stirring. The mushroom will starts to sweat.
Stir for about 3-5 mins depend on the amount of mushrooms in the pan.

In another pan, melt the butter. Till the side turns to golden crispy. Add in  the mushrooms and spaghetti.Toss evenly so each strand of Spaghetti is coated with the butter. Then add in little olive oil and flour. Keep tossing till the flour has changed into cream sauce.

Serve and add some cheese.

The nushrooms can be added to a plate of garden salad. Just top it over the greens, add some olive oil and serve.

Today's menu for dinner

My darling have to work while im at home surfing net and watching TV. He like to eat when he gets home and will heat up the food again.

So when he is at work, i was thinking what im suppose to cook so by the time or any time when he gets home, there's hot dinner ready.

So, i tried to cook- Cabbage rice. This was my favourite rice when i was kid, Both my brother and I will fight over who is going for more. Usually, my mum will cook addition more for this dish. She knows we won't have enough. LOL....

It's easy too.

2 cups of rice- rinsed
150gm chicken-diced
1/2 cup of chopped carrot
5-8 pcs of garlic- minced
