Oops,my blog has been sitting idling far too long,I suppose it must have acculumulate much cobwebs by now...haha...Work had started ,but as I must have been a "HDB tai-tai"for far too long,I could not really adjust to the demanding schedule,it took me nearly half a year to adapt,even then I think I have neglected my health alot lately,having binge on junk food nearly every week,no time for anything and simply too tired,too stressed,I am no longer the "old" me....
Recently went for a body assessment of health,the results was not that promising,I had much more internal body fats,and my organs are aging rapidly than me,in fact ,they turned out to be much older than me....Oh,my,what have I done?I surely do not want to fight for my life 10 years down the road,I want my old life back....urgh....
Taking baby steps for now,the first thing I need to cut back on is really my coffee,gosh,the amount I need daily is ridiculous,at least 3 cups of milk coffee daily,and add in all the refined flour products,well,I am literally a walking time-bomb...So for this holidays,ok,so its not really a holidays for the teachers,but at least I do not work for 12 hours straight...I tried to prepare some light meals for my lao gong and myself last night for dinner,this is easy to put together,time-saving and served with double-boiled papaya chicken soup,easy on the palate and health...hehe...
Organic wild rice with mixed fruits
2 tbsp of dried mixed fruits(I used organic goji,apricots,raisins and mango,pre-soaked in chicken stock to pump them up and for taste)
2 cups of pre-cooked organic wild rice blend
1 golden fresh pineapples(non-organic,I simply peeled and cubed)
3 slices of honey-baked ham(rinsed to remove excess sodium)
shredded cheese
1.Pre-heat the oven to 180 degree Celsius.
2.Get ready a glass casserole,add in the rice,mixed fruits,pineapples,ham and mixed well.
3.Sprinkle cheese on top and bake in oven till cheese melt.Serve with blanchedshanghai greens.
(Note:I did not add in any seasonings at all,much prefer the natural sweetness of the fruits and the saltiness of the ham and cheese to bring out the best flavour)
