It’s been a long time since I cooked this dish so since my mil had bought a slab of salmon for me earlier, I thought this is the dish to cook!

It’s really easy, tasty and nutritious!

Method:

Heat some oil in a non-stick pan. Fry the ginger and spring onion till fragrant.
Add the salmon cubes.
Fry till the salmon turns a nice golden brown then flip over the the cubes.
Continue frying for a short while till the salmon is cooked through.
Combine the black pepper sauce with a bit of water in a bowl. Add the sauce to the pan and fry for a little while more.
Add cornflour solution if you prefer a thicker sauce. Otherwise, dish and serve. 🙂
Garnish with more spring onion (optional).

The letter B (Part I)

I came across this cute craft idea and since I had a toilet paper roll on hand that day, I went ahead to make the butterfly for Alicia. The original idea is to let the child make the butterfly but since Alicia’s still young and immature – she’d definitely tear up the butterfly parts even before we start pasting it on the roll – I decided to laminate the parts and let her piece the butterfly together (and take it apart too) by using velcro! She looked at it at first, took it apart then suddenly she realised that it was a butterfly and she started flapping her hands like they were wings and started saying “fu fu fu”… 😀

Here she is, playing with stickers… trying to make a letter B. But she was rather grouchy that day… so we didn’t finish the activity… besides, she’s still really hung up on ‘A’… haha…
