Stir-fry Chicken with Cashews
 |
This is my version of the dish; without dried chillies and oyster sauce. Well, I never use oyster sauce or MSG in my cooking coz it’s unhealthy. That’s why it tastes different from the famous "Kung Pao Chicken" at Esquires Kitchen, KL. oohhhh I do miss it though. Anyway, I made an unconscious move towards the end of cooking. I intended to turn off the fire but instead turned it on full blaze. While it was left boiling, I did some washing for 1-2 minutes. When I returned to the pan, I realized what I had done and quickly shut the fire. Fortunately it was not burned but instead, the high temperature brought out the aroma and taste of the cashew nuts in the chicken. Eng loved it! Should I have done according to my original plan, the dish would not have tasted the same.
So I guess it’s the same in life. Not trying to be philosophical but isn’t it true that some inadvertent decisions or actions are meant to prove something right or better? Not all “mistakes” bring agony in life, so we should look forward positively if things happened unplanned. In fact, some adhoc verdicts might even prove to be more prolific as human plans might not turn out right all the time. At the end of the day, I somehow believe that certain incidents are meant to be and planned in advance by the good Lord – mel.
ya! agreed, sometime without high expetaction, you will surprise you get something that is good.
i learned this, so, while i took my wedding shooting photo, i didn’t put so much expectation, end up i love the photo that i have took. Always think positive, i still need to learn all this thing.
