The giant is eating on his own today, though I did take more time than usual to make it look nice, valentines is coming up after all. Made his favourites, he loves chicken. Altogether we have roasted chicken breast pieces, rice (half short grain/half glutinous) topped with noritama (seaweed/egg) furikake and carrot stars (star-ish at least), carrot and red peppers (in the cup) and broccoli. The chicken was roasted overnight in the slow cooker with lemon, honey, salt and pepper on it. Personally I prefer the legs, thighs and wings, the giant is definitely a breast man though :P
Lots of brackets today...
Carrot and red peppers
1 large carrot
1 red pepper
1T dark soy sauce
1-2T sweet chilli sauce
chilli powder to taste (i use approx 1/2t)
Dice the pepper, and cut the carrot into match sized sticks.
Add veg to a dry saucepan on a medium-low heat, let them heat and dry for a few minutes.
Mix the soy and sweet chilli sauces together.
once the veg is hot add the sauce and chilli powder, mix well.
Cook until carrots are tender.
If it looks too dry or is starting to stick add a tablespoon of water but you really don't want it too wet, when done it should be thick and sticky.
He is eating on his own as today is my day with the girls. Wednesdays are so much better when you can look forward to a little chocolate, a wee glass of something nice and some terrible movies.
