right lemon sauce

make your chicken and batter as previuosly mentioned ...keep the chicken in a breast however

ingredient

approx 2 tablespoons sugar (again be careful about sweetness)
1 large frech lemon/zest
2 teaspoons cornpaste
some thinly sliced carrots

method

1 boil water add lemon juice (the juice of the lemon can be squeezed into the pan over a strainer)lemon zest and sugar in a suitable pan
2 Bring back to the boil again and reduce heat to a minimum
3 simmer for 1to2 mins then lightly thicken with cornpaste
finally add carrots to the sauce

the sauce is then poured on top of the chicken easy peasy


fried rice now this one is so easy it's unreal

lets start with boiled rice

3 cups of rice
method
1 wash rice several times till water runs clear
2 add water to cover rice by half to three quarters inch measure this by putting middle finger in top of rice water should not go above first knuckle
3 bring to the boil till water absorbs the rice do not stir
4 cover and simmer on a low heat for about 10 mins
5 turn off heat
rice will steam cook for another 5 mins till light and fluffy .losen rice with fork when ready

now to fry the rice

ingredient
boiled rice
oil
egg
spring onions chopped (optional)
salt and pepper
dark soy sauce
light soy sauce

method

in a wok (or frying pan whatever is easiest)
heat till smoking (frying pan really hot)
pour some sunflower oil approx 3 tablespoons
crack and egg into wok/frying pan
mix around till fried
add rice
add chopped spring onions (optional) mix around
add salt and pepper to taste mix around
pour 2 tea spoons approx light soy sauce in mix around
pour 3 tea spoons approx dark soy sauce in mix around

this should be the fried rice made tastes lovely ...like all others mix and match to suit your own preferred taste

boredofbeingathome

Hope he feels better soon, have you any strong painkillers he can use?

elantan

hes got diazepam co-codamol diclofenac amytriptilene so hopefully something will work


ok car problems well it appears it's not just a service it needs it's some lambada sensors, unburnt fuel into the cat (which if damaged is expensive to replace) injectors , now its just over a year ago we had all the problems remember ? so i didnt think we would have such a big problem again as quickly ...this apprently costs a bloomin fortune ...well ofcourse it does if it was cheap then i wouldnt go wrong would it
