Healthy breakfast - Oats


Salam all,

Urmm ..... what's for breakfast? Nasi lemak? Roti canai? Tosai? Or perhaps Lontong? Which would you prefer? Having those items for breakfast are really mouth-watering and filling, BUT, mind the calories. At times we need to furnish our body with a healthy filling too. Why not try the oat meal for breakfast. You can make a variety of oat meal.

Health facts about oats:


Researchers found that antioxidants in oats actually obstruct the ability of blood cells to stick to artery walls.

This will reduce the possibility of heart attack.


Oatmeal is thought to be one of the few foods that can actually help lower cholesterol. This is because oatmeal contains soluble fiber, which is thought to decrease the amount of cholesterol absorbed by the intestines. Values below are for one cup of cooked oatmeal, no salt added.

Besides fiber, oats also contain proteins, fat and minerals.

Mine is the simplest version: (what to do.... always running against time)

Ingredients:

2 or 3 table spoon of rolled oats (I did not take instant oats)
1 cup fresh milk
1 tablespoon honey

Put everything to boil in a pot. Once boiled and the oats is tender, its ready to be served. You can add any fruits of your like. Besides adding taste to it, it will also add the nutritional value in your diet. Among fruits that I have tested are thinly sliced apples, kiwi, strawberry and banana. I have yet to try mango, but I will try it next time. Adding nuts and raisins will also add to the taste.

By having this for breakfast at about 7.30am, it could really last me till noon or sometime more. its very filling.

Do try it.

Kebab

Good morning!!!! Let's make a different today. (At least for my kitchen). Done with cereals, nasi lemak, lempeng or mee goreng, lets have something different this morning. Considering the kids only had something light for their dinner last nite, I resort to making an instant kebab!! Mmmm .... Amacam? Terliur tak? Well, very easy to prepare. I used all the instant ingredients. Onion - diced Ayamas Chicken burger - suitable for grilling, defrost and sliced (do not take too long to defrost it as it is difficult to slice it later) Olive - sliced Tomato - diced Olive oil Oppss... don't forget the bread - I use Gardenia's rolls. 1. Heat the pan with olive oil. 2. Fry the sliced chicken burger till cooked. 3. Add onion, tomato and olive. 4. Add seasonings - salt & pepper. 5. Cut the roll in the center vertically, but do not separate it. Apply butter onto it. 4. Toast it over the burning stove for a while (to replace charcoal burn). 5. Stuffed the chicken burger. 6. Garnish wit

Masak lemak Daun Kaduk

Assalamualaikum Pokok kaduk tumbuh membiak di sekitar rumahku dengan suburnya. Adakalanya terpaksa dicantas buang kerana telah menyesakkan pandangan. Tertanya-tanya juga apa lagi yang boleh dibuat dengan daun kaduk ni. Kata pepatah, "Malu bertanya sesat jalan". Dalam bersembang-sembang bersama rakan sepejabat mengenai pokok-pokok herba ni, beliau mencadangkan untuk buat masak lemak daun kaduk, Sedap, katanya. Well, why not? Inilah hasilnya. Caranya: Balik dari pejabat, aku memetik beberapa helai daun kaduk (sebab ini peringkat percubaan makanya tak boleh masak banyak, bimbang jadi pembaziran pulak). Ada la dalam 20 helai daun kaduk.  Dicuci bersih.  Kemudian dicelur. (Celur untuk mengurangkan baunya. Kalau OK dengan baunya, tidak perlu celur) Sementara tu, aku mula mengopek bawang merah dan putih.  2 biji Cili api dipatah-patahkan aje (sebab malas nak menumbuk) Seterusnya, rebuskan saja bawang, cili api, ikan bilis dan serbuk kunyit.
