How do I choose my ingredients?
This question is link to another question : How do you cook that?
I bought my whole week food and store in the fridge during weekend.
I carefully make sure that the food I bought especially vegetable is not the same as last week if possible.
Everyday I will think of what is the combination of Carbohydrate , Protein , Vegetables and make it difference for whole week menu.
Another suggestion , Plan your whole week menu and do the research for the recipe, and make your shopping list before you shop. Remember to note for some extra menu , in case the ingredient is not available for you to shop.
WHY? This is to ensure myself and my love ones have balance meal , so that we consume everything to boost our immune system.
My experience, I was not a born to be chef , so I always look for the recipe so that I can follow the recipe to cook.
The PRO , I will know how to cook a dish in a proper manner.
The CONs, I am restricted to the recipe .I might gone crazy looking for the ingredients that I may just use like once a month?
Now, I will base on the available ingredients and look for similar recipe and make some modification.
Waa Lah.. I got my own creation of recipe. I happily playing with my herbs and all the other flavors , like a witch putting a spell and waa lah..there goes my creation. ^_^
The Key to do the modification , is to understand your ingredient, the texture , the flavor and the cooked time for that ingredient.
Well we all not a born to be CHEF. You can always start with the basic, salad .
You can choose whatever ingredient you like , add in , and choose your dressing ( simple as lemon juice , salt and pepper, olive oil)
Try now, you can make your own lunch.
