Chicken Split Lentils

Aka chicken 'rice' for our little E. He's still on a GAPS diet so we are trying to avoid rice for him, no matter how much he adores and wants to eat with us (sigh). It was initially made by his grand aunty, so I asked her the steps.

This was the first time I cooked it and it was yummylicious. It can lasts for perhaps 3-4 days for a toddler like him? (he's just shy of 3)

The first mouth I took it really tasted like chicken rice! Just sorta 'mashed' rice texture or mashed potato.

Red Bean Paste (for pau)

Feeling rather discouraged without an oven, I have perhaps now moved into a new phase of dessert making: Steaming!

And thanks to the lovely flatmates of mine, they have all the utensils and pots available for steaming. Wee!!

And I am attempting to make bread for the first time....voila!

 

It's not exactly Tau Sar Pau (I don't think) as I think it was meant to be black beans instead (either that, we're suppose to use black colouring or something) and the 'paste' doesn't look as smooth coz I did not have a blender. So it was back to the good ole spoon against the pot mash tactic.

Anyway, taste: YUM. As well as I can make lots of fillings in the pau (bun)! I'm not really happy with the ingredients for the pau so I'll post up the recipe later when I get the portions right ;)

 Yield's about 2 cups
