Singapore Chicken Rice on April 25
I had been wanting to try a recipe by Martin Yan for Chicken Rice from Singapore. Apparently, it’s a comfort food favorite. We had bought a fresh chicken from the farmer’s market; I poached it in chicken broth instead of water to give it a richer flavor. I then shredded the chicken and set it aside. I used the chicken broth to make the rice which also had garlic, shallot, and ginger in it. I made two sauces: a ginger and a chile garlic sauce. I mixed the shredded chicken with the rice and served it with the sauces. It was simple and delicious; I can see why it would be a favorite in Singapore.
Bruce made an arugula, dandelion, radicchio, green onion, green garlic, and turnip salad with fennel salt and a blackberry raspberry vinaigrette. The salad was topped with roasted sunflower seeds, and we enjoyed a bottle of Chateau Haut Rian white burgundy 2007.

Who We Are
Sunburned and full!
My husband, Bruce, and I live on the beautiful Oregon Coast. We are passionate home cooks and make dinner from scratch almost every night of the week. We shop the farmer’s market, buy as much from local producers as we can, and support the organic, sustainable, and Slow Food movements. We believe that knowing where your food comes from, cooking from scratch, eating well, in season, and together at the table are all part of living healthy. You won’t find many foods from the middles aisles of the grocery store in our house!! This blog is an account of our home-cooked meals for the year 2008 (and now 2009). The way it works is I prepare the main entree’ (I usually don’t follow a recipe–I like to think of recipes as reference and use them to generate ideas) while Bruce usually makes a salad to match. We eat the salad after we eat the main entree’. We learned to eat that way when we visited Italy and prefer it now. We always have a bottle of wine with dinner, so we’ve documented it as well. We don’t go by what’s best with white or red, we just drink what we like. This project started in December 2007 when there were many discussions regarding the frequency in which favorite dishes were made. We determined that the best way to know how often we ate pasta with Bolognese sauce (or anything else) was to document it. We have been doing just that in a journal since January 1, 2008. I then decided that it would be better to put it on a blog; not for public attention, but for easier storage management and transferability of the data. If you happen to stumble across this blog and find it interesting, or would like to know how we made something, let me know–I am happy to share.
