Kitchen gadgets

Yup, another food blog. Sorry, if you haven't had dinner then you might want to go to another blog.

(Hopefully this will make you hungry.)

I have lots of electric appliances and kitchen gadgets. I have a goal of using them - at least once in a while, right! So, I have recently used my clay cooker (römertopf), my electric quesadilla maker, my electric yogurt maker, my english muffin rings, my muffin top pan.... and I use my bread machine on almost a daily basis.

Today I decided to use my electric wok and my rice cooker to make chicken-broccoli stir fry.

Here are some pictures. Above is the wok, obviously.

Here is the rice cooker. It was just a cheap one from Target but it does the job.

First I cooked the broccoli. I cooked it for 5 minutes in chicken broth, stirring occasionally.


Push the broccoli up the sides and add the raw chicken. The chicken had been in a bowl with soy sauce & vegetable oil. Sprinkle garlic salt on it and stir fry it for about 3 minutes.



This looks more appetizing - the chicken is cooked now.

Push the chicken up the sides and add some mushrooms. Stir fry for a minute.

Push them up and add water chestnuts or bamboo shoots. I had water chestnuts. Stir fry for a minute. After that mix the whole thing together and cook it for another 2 minutes.

Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top and set the wok to warm.

Here is the cooked rice..

and the finished meal.

It was good.
