Simple Steamboat Dinner for Two

If you are too lazy to plan for something to cook for dinner tonight, why not join me at your dining table with this simple "Steamboat Dinner for Two!"  It doesn't need too many ingredients, just include a few favourite food items with an adequate quantity and I can guarantee you that it is as satisfying as a "Candlelight Dinner!"  Lately, me and hubby have been enjoying this Steamboat Dinner for Two in the comfort of our sweet home, slowly dining while chatting and sharing our thoughts.


Steamboat Ingredients:
  • Chicken thigh slices
  • Pork belly slices
  • Radish (sliced)
  • Young corns
  • Seaweed
  • Deep-fried home-made fish balls, to obtain recipe click here
  • Green vegetables 
  • Noodles/Rice Vermicelli/Cellophane noodles 
  • Crunchy Prawn Wonton, for the recipe click here


For the soup, I normally use chicken base-soup.  This is what I do:-

  1. boil a pot of water,
  2. pour some boiling water onto the chicken bones to blanch,
  3. drain and put the bones into the boiling water to boil for about 20 minutes,  
  4. dish out the bones using a slotted spatula and discard,
  5. season the soup with a bit of salt and chicken stock granules to suit your taste buds, but at this juncture it is better for the soup to be slightly under-season as the natural sweetness from the meat and other ingredients will make the soup more tasty and well seasoned.
  6. So, let's have DINNER....


This time round I have an additional side-dish to go along with our Steamboat - Sambal Belacan with sliced Japanese Cucumbers.  We really enjoy this "Simple Yet Yummylicious" meal...
