Super-garlic-frolickin-espially-docious-good!

Garlic. Good for the heart.

Butter. Yummy for the tummy. (Ehrm.)

Olive oil, healthy. out-guilts butter's bad cholesthingies.

Crispy-topped toast.

Lightly roasted cherry tomatoes.

Uhm, ah, uhm.

Super-garlic-frolic-lickin-espially-docious good eats.

The 2nd attempt, big on flavor and perfect crispy texture-- the little ones, blooming ones and young once-more can take just the right bite. None of that gnawing, why-cant-my-teeth-bite-thru struggles (whew).

1/4 butter melted

1/4 cup olive oil

1 head garlic minced

Herbs- parsley, basil, rosemary, etc. (optional)

Sweat in a shallow pan to bring the juice out & cook the garlic slightly (not browned, it will be roasted enough with the bread later on).

1/4 butter softened

2 singles cheese grated

A dollop of heavy cream (or natural yoghurt for a healthier option).

A little salt (adjust if cheese is salty already)

Mix all in a bowl.

Easily slather that spread on the bread!

The more, the better. :-p

Warm up the stove.

Bring in the griddle or shallow pan again (same one used earlier for the garlic saute).

On medium heat, toast that bread spread-side down for 30 seconds or so.

Sizzle!

👍👍 Version2 - butter & olive oil, cheese & cream

📔 Tips: ...

👍Version1- no mayo and no oven.

Not so easy to spread the spread :-p But taste-wise, it was very good!

On hindsight maybe butter 1/8 is melted and mixed with minced garlic. Then, add 1/2 *softened* butter, and grated cheese... more spreadable?

Creamy Miso 🥣

I hated miso soup. And then I loved it ever since. This comfort soup may have a slight tangy taste depending on what type of miso is used. My hubby does not like a hint of sour/tangy stuff. To discover that milk could be added to spin off the taste was a welcome revelation!!! The aroma and taste always takes me back to my days in Japan. My very 1st sip of miso soup was at the canteen of an all-ladies dorm during my very 1st work trip in beautiful Tamagawa prefecture. It was my 1st time away from my motherland, and 1st time to experience winter, at that. To say that I was in a state of culture shock is an understatement. I loved soft fluffy Japanese rice. The roasted flaky saba fish. Ramen noodles. Crunchy karaage. Not miso soup though. I hated miso soup. But that fateful cold night, I have just reached "home" from the 10-minutes trudge from work. A quick change to warmer clothes, I was immediately at the dinner table. The warm soup felt grudgingly comforting. The next spoonf...

perfect fried rice

Batch 1: cook meat sliced to thin cubes (4 pcs pork shoulder or chicken gillet) Batch 2: 1 carrots minced 5 garlic minced 1 onion diced Batch 3: 3 eggs beaten cooked meat in bite-size Batch 4: 7 cups old rice - chilled and clumps separated 2 1/2 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp fish sauce 1 tsp mirin 1 tsp sesame oil Add seasoning, to taste: Pepper red chili flakes - optional Add Toppings: 1 green onion, thinly slice You can also add: roasted nuts, sliced pineapples Instructions: In a wok, put 2 tbsp oil then cook and set aside each batch (batch 1 to batch 4) Tips: Use the WOK. Use high heat. 🔥 The thinner the meat slice, the quicker & better cooked it will be. Do not put so much rice at 1 go. This keeps the wok really hot. Do not put so much sauce or rice will get sticky; you can always add more at the end to taste.
