Chicken midwings stew

I didn’t have much time to take a proper photo of the dish as I was trying to watch over the rest of the food I was cooking on the stove. This will just have to do…
Anyway, we love chicken wings – so does Alicia – so it’s no surprise that chicken wings make their appearance quite a bit on our table! ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. Brown the chicken wings on both sides then remove from wok.
  3. Heat some oil in the wok and fry the ginger and scallions.
  4. Add the shallots and garlic. Fry till fragrant.
  5. Add the chicken wings and fry for a short while.
  6. Add the seasoning and enough water to cover the wings.
  7. Bring the water to a boil then simmer for 40 minutes, stirring now and then for even cooking.
  8. Add the veggies in in the last 10min.
  9. Add some cornflour solution to further thicken the gravy if necessary.
  10. Dish and serve.

For toddler’s consumption:
  • If the tot can handle eating the meat from the chicken wing on her own, there is nothing much to do! ๐Ÿ™‚
  • Remove the meat from the chicken wing if the tot is unable to eat it on her own.
  • Cut the baby corn into smaller pieces.

Julia Gabriel PlayClub (Term 2 Week 2)

Alicia was so restless in class, moving here and there in class… but she didn’t wander away from the activities. Instead she kept going up to her teachers to ask them for hugs and just to sit on their laps…

For teaching of the letter ‘g’, the instructors gave the children one big grape each to eat during English story time. When the children had gone to wash their hands, Alicia went up to the instructor and told him “more, more!”. Hahahaha…. but she didn’t get more because it was time for Chinese story time…

As for swimming that day, she refused to enter the tub at first and by the time she agreed to do so, it started to drizzle so she hardly got to play much. Once out of the tub, she wanted to go to the playground to play but she was wet and had to get changed so she threw a terrible tantrum when I brought her back to class to be changed. Sigh. I wonder if she’s already reaching the terrible twos coz she’s been extra naughty recently…
Anyway, here’s her art for the day:
