While shutting down my laptop at work today, I suddenly had a strong craving for the steamed ginger chicken served at every Chinese restaurant.  Lately I've been experimenting with cooking and trying to learn how to cook all my favourite Chinese dishes, so I went over to my Chinese co-worker to see if she knew how to make it.  She called her mom who was kind enough to explain how it's made. 

What you'll need:
> Chicken (whole or parts)
> Soy sauce
> Ginger
> Green onions (aka Scallions)
> Cornstarch
> Salt
> Oil

How to prepare:

1. Marinate chicken in soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and finely chopped ginger and green onions.
2. Steam chicken on medium heat for 30 minutes.
3. To make the sauce, mix chopped ginger and green onions along with salt in a bowl.  Heat oil and pour in bowl.  If you hear it sizzle it means the ginger and green onions are slightly cooking.

Sorry there are no exact measurements but I sort-of just eye-ball everything.  Unfortunately the food in the pics taken with my blackberry don't look so appetizing but I promise it was delicious! 

 

Steve made me the most wonderful breakfast this morning. It was so delicious that I can't resist sharing it.

What you'll need:
> Sliced bread
> Eggs
> Peanut butter
> Syrup or honey
> Steve's secret ingredient: bananas!

How to prepare:
1. Spread peanut butter on 2 slices of bread.
2. Slice bananas in 1/2 inches and put on one of the slices of bread. Put other slice on top and squish.
3. Beat 2 eggs in a bowl.
4. Heat pan and pour in eggs.
5. Fry bread on both sides.
6. Enjoy with syrup or honey.

I have to admit the peanut butter kinda threw me off but it was so delicious so don't skip!
