Sanma Kabayaki Rice

Ever since the year of rat begins, it is like hell break loose at workplace. By the end of the day, you hardly left with any energy to cook something nutritious. If you considering dining out, be prepared to fork out at least $10.00++ for a more decent filling meal considering Singapore inflation caused all those local delicacies sold in foodcourt to shrink drastically in size. I still vividly remember an occasion I paid $6.90 for tomyam fish soup at one of Ang Mo Kio foodcourts and shocked to find there is only 3 small pieces of thin sliced fried fish in it while the base was lined heavily with veggies and fried egg (kinda like those tauhu telor kind).

Therefore, I'm stuck between eating something that you paying more that its worth or cooking your own meal which can be tedious especially after you're so shag after work. Lately, I found a solution at local supermart Tay Sanma Kabayaki that is pre-cooked, vacuum packed and frozen for your last minute culinary adventure.



Sanma Kabayaki Rice

1. Tay's Sanma Kabayaki ($5.60 at local supermartket, currently on promotion buy 2 get 1 free at NTUC)
2. Furikake ($2.00 at Daiso)
3. Rice
   
4. Chopped Cherry Tomato Garnish ($1.95 at NTUC Fairprice)

Tay's Sanma Kabayaki comes in a pack of 5 enough for 2 meals. Get a bowl of rice depends on your rice comsumption as shown above. Sprinkle a teaspoon of Daiso's furikake (rice topping) or more on the rice and ensure the rice is even coated not too much as it will be too salty. Take out the Sanma Kabayaki frozen, take note do not thaw it. The reason for not thawing is you want the teriyaki sauce in the Sanama Kabayaki to coat the rice when you microwave it. Use a knife and cut the Sanma into pieces so that you can easy line the bowl filled with rice. Next, use a microwaveable glad wrap (you can get it cheaply at $2.00 at Daiso) and cover the bowl but leave a vent. Pop in microwave oven and microwave it at high power for 3 minutes and it is ready for hearty meal. Then, you can garnish the top with some chopped cherry tomato as shown above.
