Ok...so what do you do when you are in a bad mood? For me, I eat A LOT (in high frequency and large quantity!) But before you eat, what do you need to do when there is no ready food (not even biscuits! I've aniihilated my supply a few days ago...)?
You COOK! It is a really good way of de-stressing, unless your final product looks like something DHLed from Venus or Mars...
I am quite lucky (ironic just looking at things that have happened) that my steamed chicken turns out the way it is supposed to be...

Quite easy to prepare since I had already marinated the chicken wings the night before. All I had to do was to mince the garlic and ginger into paste-like form. The carrots was a completely last minute idea (feel I could do with a bit of orange in my life to brighten up). Was going to dice the carrots initially but settled with shredded ones because they absorbed the juice better. The juice matched the rice so well I could go for seconds! Seriously, one chicken wing was not enough...
Steaming food is definitely going to be very high up on my list now. Why? Well, putting all the healthy talks aside, it is SO MUCH EASIER to wash the dishes later on (I should say there was practically nothing to wash!). Still quite surprised my wok can actually steam chicken without the bamboo steamer that I was so tempted to invest in...
For now, bon appetit!
