One of the easiest things to do when you're hunkered down and waiting for the storm to pass is cooking ... I bet one of the top five activities that people do during the quarantine is cooking ... You'd think that that is what I've been doing in the last four weeks, but you'd be wrong ... All I've done most of the time is sleep, or at least trying to sleep ... I go to sleep at 11 something at night and I'd be woken up around 2 or 3 in the morning and I try to go back to sleep but instead I get intermittent sleep until around 10 in the morning ... That has been my routine in the last four weeks ... As for cooking? My mother does the cooking ... So, what do I cook? Nothing, nada, zip, zilch ... Okay, so I've been a lazy git, but I'm not completely useless ... There is one thing I cook during quarantine time ...
|
What are these? What? You can't guess ... Why, they're chicken nuggets of course ... Frozen chicken nuggets that have been thawed ... |
|
So, we have a small fryer and that's how I cook the nuggets ... |
|
The nuggets are being fried to crispy perfection ... |
|
And voila! Crispy nuggets ... |
|
Perfect for afternoon meal while watching Jimmy Kimmel onYoutube ... |

Well, one very simple meal I can cook is rice with fried egg ... I know how to cook rice, and I know how to fry an egg ... It's such a simple meal that in Malay it is known as
Makanan Orang Bujang - "Meal for Singles" ... It doesn't taste too bad since I pour sweet soy sauce on the rice and I love fried egg ...

Well, my mother finally had had enough, she being the cook and me being the lazy git, so she asked me to cook ... Frankly, I never wanted to, but because my mother told me to do it, so I had to do it ... So, I cooked what I'm good at, which is pasta ... So, here it is - Pasta Ala Julius, voila! ... It's not delicious, but at least it's edible ... The big help is the Tomato, Basil & Garlic sauce in a can, so I didn't need to make the sauce from scratch ...

And you can use more or less the same ingredients to make fried rice ...
|
I use the same fresh ingredients to make fried rice ... The only difference is that I use a fried rice flavour enhancer and some packet chili sauce and I add an egg or two ... |
|
Firstly, I stir-fry the crushed garlic and onion ... |
|
Then I add the green pepper and chili ... |
|
Then I add the fried rice flavour enhancer and the packet sauce ... |
|
Finally, I add the rice ... While stirring, I add two eggs ... Finally finally, I add some salt and flavour enhancer ... |
|
Voila! Fried rice Ala Julius ... Tastes somewhat like the pasta ... Not delicious but edible ... |
