to fill up what i've left empty some time back.
i'm feeling it again...

Thai Curry Chicken with Black Pepper Potatoes and Mushrooms

this was dinner tonight. we're still into thai food after our bangkok trip, so i whipped up this "fusion" dish to satisfy our palette with the ingredients we had in the fridge.

it was quite simple and easy to cook. i took only around half an hour from preparation to having it served. the chicken breast meat (i only take those sold at cold storage since i'm not a chicken breast meat person because it is always so tender and sweet) was first marinated with curry powder, tahitian lime, fish sauce, garlic and small onions . then 10 minutes before i cook, i added thyme in the marinated meat (see...it's fusion!!) - D introduced me to this herb and we found that it paired really well with chicken. the chicken breast meat was grilled in a pan till cook. for the sides - the small potatoes and shimeiji mushrooms were lightly stir fried with fresh grounded black pepper, garlic, small onions in olive oil and salt to taste. i should have added the mushrooms much later when the potatoes were cooked, as I found them too shrivelled and overcooked to enjoy the crunch and taste of the mushrooms. umm..next time i'll remember. oh, and i garnished the dish with thyme.

overall, i quite like this easy-to-make dish and luckily so did D.

I'm hooked!

sipping a cup of tea and leisurely watching Samantha Who?, ah...this is life.
