Cooking Attempto! Thai-style Salmon

And here we go again:

  • Salmon fillet, skinned
  • Bean Sprouts
  • Alfafa Sprouts
  • Unsalted Cashews, smashed
  • Bokchoi!
  • Capsicum
  • Ginger
  • Lime Juice
  • Oyster Sauce
  • Fish Sauce
  • Cracked Pepper
  • Rice
  • Cucumber

The approach I took:

  • Cooked the rice for 20 minutes in a rice cooker
  • Oil and lime juice in the pan while it heated
  • Skinned the salmon, threw it into the pan
  • Let it cook on one side, added the bean sprouts and cashews
  • Two spoons of oyster sauce, a fair few splashes of the fish sauce
  • Crack the pepper, add the bokchoi, capsicum and alfafa

And the results!

 

 

 

The (je ne sais quoi) presentation:

Delicious – I was quite pleased with how it turned out :D

I must admit, I didn’t intend to break the salmon up!

Good ole breakfast

Breakfast at the Jasper hotel on Elizabeth Street was shockingly good.

Spanish-style ommelette with chorizo and sundried tomato!

Yoghurt and muesli!

Coffee was a bit poor tough :P

Cooking Attempto! Teriyaki Chicken Stir-fry

Tonight will be going with the following ingredients…

  • Diced Chicken
  • Mushrooms
  • Lemongrass
  • Teriyaki Sauce
  • Broccolli
  • Onion
  • Capsicum
  • Bokchoi!
  • Some seasoning

We’ll see how it turns out!

And we’re back!

The method was pretty simple:

  • Boil the noodles
  • Fry the chicken with oil
  • Add the onion
  • Add capsicum, bokchoi and mushrooms
  • Add teriyaki sauce and random spices!

And the results!

This part was great. The lack of bench space required me to improvise somewhere for cooking the noodles. Kettle + Sink = brilliant!

Fin!

jQuery Context Menu Plugin

Okay, this jQuery plugin (by Cory S.N. LaViska) is awesome:

Basically you can achieve a right-click drop-down menu via the following jQuery code:

$("#selector").contextMenu({
menu: 'myMenu'
});

Where ‘myMenu’ is the id of the HTML you want to appear as the menu:

<ul id="myMenu" class="contextMenu">
<li class="first_option"> <a href="#first_option">Option #1</a></li>
<li class="second_option"> <a href="#second_option">Option #2</a></li>
</ul>

I may need to use this in my next version of Chalk :-)
