I am a self-declared noob cook, infact, when we first moved
out, the Mom in particular was so worried we would end up with 5 days worth of
“outside food” she volunteered to teach me a couple of idiot proof recipe to
save my husband’s stomach and possibly myself from being labelled the wife who
did not fulfil her kitchen duties.
Before I even digress and go onto the whole shebang about
how modern ladies need not cook – the other spectrum is, cooking without fuss
is the way to go this 21st century. For sure, food may not taste as
good as if it were labored over the stove for hours that can be better spent at
the manicurist, finishing up that novel or even doing laundry but efficient
cooking would far triumph.
By means of efficient cooking, I refer to products that have
been created to make our lives a whole lot better – come on, even Jamie Oliver
subscribes to 15 minute meals and trust me, my laboratory rats have voted that
these do not fare too shabbily.
Yamie Ready-to-Cook Premix Rice was recently introduced to
me and viola, life has been changed – and I kid you not. I have resisted
cooking rice in my kitchen for more than half a year, citing reasons like my
western dishes do not go with rice and until I was at my wit’s end, I cooked my
first batch of rice under the watchful eyes of the Mother. Gauging the water
level is truly a pain, and working on aga-aga (a colloquial term for a rough
gauge) makes me fret every single time.
Second try with success but not after sweating it out before
my steam oven!
Yamie Ready-to-Cook
Premix Rice consists of Thai Jasmine rice blended with many flavourful
ingredients to give it an authentic taste.
Preparation is
hassle free in 3 simple steps – simply add rice, add water and it is ready to
cook. Yes it is that simple and really,
I cannot be more thankful for that discovery. What’s more, the product range
features wholesome ingredients and enhanced taste, turning a good meal into a
great meal!
As part of Yamie
Rice’s range, there are 7 different types to tantalize your tastebuds - Claypot
Rice; Chicken Rice; Yam Rice; Nasi Briyani; Sambal Rice; Black Pepper Rice and
Chicken Flavoured Porridge. Each box comes with a pouch of rice and ingredients
(only applicable for some flavours). Their products are Halal Certified with no
preservatives, no added MSG, artificial colourings nor trans-fat.
I do not even need
to wash the rice as they have been flavoured. Fill my measuring jug with 150ml
of water and I’m ready to roll. How easy is that? Well of this was on theory
until I was thrown infront of the camera in a cookoff.
I am no stranger to the camera but being filmed cooking
brings it to the next level! Plus, being in a stranger’s kitchen caused quite a
fumble for utensils, managing stoves and finally getting my dish up. I was up
against super daddy, Kelvin
from Cheekiemonkie. It was my Nasi Briyani versus his Chicken Rice!
Trying to keep a straight face with all that butterflies in my tummy AND good grief, look at the mess I created!
I thought of a
simple pairing with the ever favourite luncheon meat fries and spiced almonds
to flavor things up. After fussing and several NGs, I am so proud of my final
plating.
Guess which dish charmed our tastebuds and won the cook off?
Miss Tam Chiak’s Shrimp Sambal Fried Rice?
Watch the video to view all the action and hopefully pick up
a tip or two!
Subsequently, I had to share the love with my family and
possibly blow them off their socks with my Nasi Briyani.
Nasi Briyani rice at home was a success, complete with a curry chicken pre-mix!
Success!

Nasi Briyani rice at home was a success, complete with a curry chicken pre-mix!
The rice as promised turned out perfectly, right down to the
dry texture that is signature of Briyanis and the raisins and protein chicken
were also included to complete the meal!
Success!
