Boxing Day Turkey

been looking forward to Christmas Turkey
since donkey years ago :D
dream finally came true this year
but only gotten a leg due to $ n tummies capacity constrain

was too busy to do research this round
so i did it 100% the ah yan's way to cook it
mula-mula...
marinate it for 2 nites with:
pepper, salt, honey, rosemary & oregano
(it would be better with fresh herbs)
mummy it with plastic bags
(so tat the marinates can stay in contact with every inch of the meat)
put it in room tempreture at least 20 minutes before cooking
rub it with olive oil & chopped garlic
lay 2 pieces of foil underneath
spread some olive oil to them
spread cubed potato, carrot & yellow onion
before resting the turkey leg
wrap everything n send into 220'c preheat oven
bake for 1 hour
then open up the foil n bake for another half an hour
take care not to burn the meat until 'chao dah' oh...

Rhizoma Pork Rib Soup 山药/淮山排骨汤 i believe a lot of people dunno wat is
Rhizoma 山药/淮山
it's often sold in dried version
@ all the Chinese Medicine Shop
i've been looking high n low for this fresh one
for a few months already
finally found it in SS13 Pasar Malam
it looks something like a burdock 牛蒡
but a lot thicker
.
i dun like the feeling of cleaning them
because it's slimy
no matter how many times washed
.
cut them into small cube
boil together with some pork rib
red dates n wolfberries
.
it taste so sweet!!!
worthed my effort of searching everywhere
