If you haven’t already noticed, we love oxtail! With the help of instant pot, this meal is no longer something we have to stand in front of the stove hours for it to tenderize. It’s one of the simpler weeknight meals we can enjoy. You can serve with rice, noodles or any pasta. Tonight our choice was french baguette.
Seriously can’t remember when was the last time when we had a good bowl of beef pho! While scouring through my IG posts, I saw that I had made this the beef broth (with Instant pot) before. This was delicious and hit the spot!
So grateful Mr. Piggy’s cooking tonight, with the help of Instant Pot! Ah Lo cooked the vegetables. I’m so happy I get to enjoy a decent meal without me being fully present in the kitchen. Now if they can figure out what to cook…ok, I shouldn’t be too greedy…
Oxtail stew for tonight’s meal – thanks to Instant Pot. Fairly simple, yet delicious. Mr. Piggy bought about 2 pounds worth near his work place. This would have costs a bundle if we were to eat it in the restaurants, not to mention you don’t get that many pieces. Home cooked meals are the best!
Dinner tonight – thanks again to Instant Pot for this dish while I crank the wheels during the day. With Instant Pot, I can easily tossed in the pot and let it do its magic. This is really a time saver for working families like mine. Dai Bee already mentioned this is something he will take with him when he’s off to college.
Making butter chicken (breasts) for the first time using Instant Pot. It’s unbelievably easy and some what paleo friendly!
Because I didn’t have everything my recipe calls for, I just used substitutes:
For the dry seasoning:
Melt butter and dice onion using sauté function. Toss in garlic, ginger root, keep stir until onion is translucent. Pour in the tomatoes and the dry seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix everything before adding the chicken in. Make sure the chicken is buried in the sauce.
Poultry button, for 15 minutes.
Release and add the coconut milk. Garnish with basil, if available. Ready to eat!
This is lunch using leftovers from last night’s dinner. I added some noodles to the garlic noodles. Popped the ribs in the instant pot and voila, lunch was ready. The meal seems tastier the second day.
Craving for some Hainanese chicken tonight and therefore chicken is what we’ll have! I made the chicken using instant pot following her recipe! The boys come back late on Wednesdays, and they’re super hungry. By the time they’re home, they’re ready to scoff down the food.
Our meatless Monday meal – well, not really meatless today because I made this split pea soup with ham bone and chicken broth (using instant pot). It’s my first time making split pea soup, it’s quite tasty!
With the help of my favorite Instant Pot, dinner was ready in no time. This was especially helpful when we just got back from a long trip and I didn’t feel like cooking. Just plop everything in and an hour or so, we have this delicious oxtail stew.
