#23 - I AM A DECENT COOK.

If you ask me if I can cook, I would've told you that "I am a decent cook." I can cook up an egg sandwich for breakfast, a pot of fried rice for lunch and an oven-baked fish for dinner. Suffice to say, I can cook myself a meal. So for lunch a few days back, I made myself a quick and simple meal!

Ingredients

• Scrambled Eggs : White Onion (small), Corn Kernels (mine are the frozen ones), Carrots and Milk.
• Dry noodles : Mi Goreng noodles

I like how NTUC sells these cooked fish that is already marinated with teriyaki sauce which makes things SO much easier. I think beginners can even cook this because they have 3 methods that comes with instructions at the back. Fret not young ones!

On the same day, I decided to make some banana pancakes because I was craving for it. Since there was some connection problem I couldn't search the Interwebs for a recipe so I just used my gut feeling to judge. I did had a fun time experimenting (:

(disclaimer : this is what I would do if I made a pancake. The recipe can be altered to your personal taste)

Ingredients

• Salt (a pinch)
• Eggs x2
• Banana (Mashed)
• Milk (small cup)
• Plain Flour/Self-Raising flour (preferred)
• Vanilla Essence

For the banana, I mashed it while leaving small bits of banana. I reckon that while biting the slightly tasteless pancake, there will be bursts of sweetness. As for the milk, it was my savior when the batter became too thick as you want the batter to be more of a liquid consistency so pour it in bit by bit. I used plain flour thinking that I will have fluffy pancakes but had flat cakes instead. I guess self-raising flour would help with the fluffing it up!

After altering the recipe after the first pancake, it turned out pretty good! It went really well with my cup of milk and a spread of Nutella (:

Hmm, what did I learn from this? I guess, you never know until you try. Now I know how to make pancakes! So, UNLEASH YOUR INNER COOK TODAY!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!
