Ginger Mushroom Chicken

....with quinoa!

This mushroom chicken dish actually goes well with quinoa! 
Who would've thought rightt (not me lol). A very simple yet satisfying meal.





Ingredients:
- 1 Chicken breast
- Black pepper
- Ginger (~2 tsp thinly sliced)
- Enoki mushrooms
- Shiitake mushrooms
- Soy sauce (~3 tbsp)
- Sesame oil (~2 tsp)
- A pinch of salt 
- Garlic (sliced thinly)
- 1 cup Quinoa
- A few tablespoons oil 

  1. Prepare quinoa first. To cook quinoa, for every 1 cup of quinoa, add 2 cups water. I cooked mine in the rice cooker. 
  2. Heat oil in a wok. While waiting for oil to heat up, clean chicken and cut into smaller pieces.
  3. When the oil is heated, add the garlic and fry until it is fragrant and it turns slightly brown.
  4. Add the chicken and black pepper into the wok and cook for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add shiitake mushrooms and stir occasionally for a few minutes.
  6. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and ginger. 
  7. Add enoki mushroom and stir stir stir awaaay.
  8. Stir everything together and leave to cook for a bit longer, and tadaaa donee!
And you can add as little or as many mushrooms! Same goes to the rest of the ingredients. You can add as much or as little of all actually.... Hahaha

Posting this entry on this date specifically, for someone who loves honey cake immensely; aka the person who brought the loml into this world 🤣 Let's begin with a rewind! This calls for a short story time on how I found one of my absolute favourite cafes in London, and that is none other than L'eto. I was walking around Soho one day and lucky for me, I stumbled upon L'eto! Honestly, it wasn't just the dessert spread that caught my attention, it was actually the honey cake that reaaally drew me in and made me take note of the place so I wouldn't forget. I remember walking in when I saw one last piece of honey cake through the window, and then being told that someone had already ordered it. What I can't recall is if I went in that first time, or if I had come back another time. Either way, my relationship with L'eto was hands down love at first sight 😍 I mean, just look at it!! I would always take photos and videos of the dessert spread every time I go and I

I Will Never Dessert You.

I think it's safe to say that the people who know me will also know how much I love to bake. I think it is easily a part of my identity. And truthfully speaking, I never thought that could or would change. As this year progressed however, it started to become more of the opposite. I lost my passion for experimenting in the kitchen, I became uninspired to see what new things I could bake. There was just absolutely zero brainstorming of all the potential desserts I could make. Instead, I felt dread. One of my biggest outlets became a major cause for stress and hurt.   Fast forward to this month, I’ve slowly (and I mean reaaaallyyy slowly) regained that passion I've been missing. I started going through my recipe books, googling new recipes, bookmarking them, and even just the slightest “ Ooo  I  wanna  make this” felt like an achievement for me. BUT, on the actual baking side of things, I feel more incompetent nowadays and like I’ve lost a majority of my skills. Things I used to
