With my previous successful pan-frying experience, I was so confident to do it again this evening when darl said that we should just cook our dinner tonight. I defrosted the lamb shoulder that we bought a few days back, and started looking for suitable vege to go with it. And I found tomatoes and carrot.
To be honest, I was kinda lazy to cook the vege. As I wonder how I could make my life easier, I decided to pan-fry them too. :D
I soaked, and washed, and cut them into pieces (for tomatoes) and slices (for carrot) while pan-frying the lamb. Once done, I threw the vege in the pan – OK la I actually turned off the gas and threw in, and then turned it on again. Scared la me! >.<
A few moments later, I’ve got this served.
It was good! :D Smelled good, tasted good too! Like you BBQ-ed them but with the fragrance of lamb.
But the lamb, on the other hand, wasn’t that good today. The slices we bought were just too thick and somewhere in the middle part just wouldn’t get cooked enough. :/ And to save our time, darl bought back the instant mashed potato… Lazy people. :D
P/S: On the side note, the little red *Updated!* feature on my blogroll hasn’t been working for a few days. Not sure why but it’s making my life miserable. Now I realise how much I have been depending on it to check on latest updated blogs. >.<
Well done!! Don’t worry about the gas, you’ll get used to it once you practice more in the kitchen. Btw, I have this irrational fear of lighting matches…so thank god for the invention of auto gas stoves which light up at the turn of a dial!
mh: Hehe. Thank you thank you. My irrational fear is actually on the ‘splashed oil’. I was afraid that if I threw the vege in when the pan is at high heat (gas on), and with the oil from the lamb and water from vege, the oil will ‘splash’… I don’t even know what are the correct words to use. lol.
