Shredded Chicken and Vegetable Salad
suitable as a starter, or a light main dish for summer
Step I. Prepare two pieces of chicken breast (portion for 2~3 persons)
Cook the chicken in water with several pieces of ginger (if you don’t have ginger, use onion or garlic). Medium heat is the trick to have tender chicken. Don’t overcook: the best is 7~8 minutes or short after the chicken turned white. Take out the chicken, cool off. Tear it into slices BY HAND, the thinner the better (this takes time).
Step II. Add any vegetables you like
The most commonly used is celery or soy bean sprouts. You can also use green salad, cucumber, different colors of paprika, etc, whatever you like. Cut them into slices when necessary. Vegetables like salads can be added directly, while some others as celery and soy bean sprouts need to be cooked. (Boil some water. Put in the veges and cook them shortly until they JUST turn soft. Celery and soy bean sprouts will need only approximately 30 seconds.) The photo below has more chicken than veges because we don’t have enough veges left at home today, but normally the proportion shall be 1 to 1. Add in some well cut basil and garlic; some white sesames or pine nuts as well.
Step III. Flavoring
A little salt, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, chilly oil or powder upon your taste. Mix well with the chicken shreds and veges.
Step IV. Serve
Drip several drops of sesame oil on the salad before serve.

Started preparing our wedding. A job we wanted to do since three years. This time it goes. A right moment, before I move to the Netherlands, beginning of out new life together :) And I'm specially happy today to know that Christophe will come over to Vienna on Friday night. What we've done till now:
- booked the civil wedding at Magistrat
- wedding day at Kaiserloge
- menu and table settings still in arrangement
- night museum visit at MOMUK
- a photographer and a cameraman still in arrangement
- a pianist for the afternoon
- a bus to transfer the guests
- our wedding website
- sent the invitation per E-mails
We know that it is an uncommon way to send the wedding invitations by E-mails. However we believe it is the most convenient and simplest way for the guests and for us, as our guests are spread in different countries. With the assistance of our website, info is sufficient. Well, what is going to be done:
I'm excited that my parents will come to The Hague mid of August. After three years, finally I have a chance to stay with them for two months :o) can't wait to see them -:¦:-•:*SO*:•.-:¦:-•*HAPPY*•-:¦:-
- complete what are still in arrangement
- book a guided city tour after we know how many people what to attend
- choose wine
- book a car for us for the wedding day
- print the menu, table settings and stationary cards

Chicken wing dinner
Headache whole day. Probably because just ate a bit tomato egg soup until 6 p.m.? So I made some chicken wings I bought today, accompanied with mushrooms and bamboos. The headache disappeared while I was cooking, but tragically it recurred after eating. What's wrong with my head? Food addicted?
