Top 3 posts for you on Google+ this week

Hi Eathelyn!

US gun deaths way down. Most think it's gone up. Thanks, alarmist media!

A new Pew study found US gun homicide rates have dropped by half since 1993, yet a majority of Americans think gun deaths have gone up. 

I think that's generally true of many things -- life keeps getting safer, better and generally more awesome, yet everyone thinks it's getting worse.

Maybe the solution is to shoot our TVs.

May 4th 2013, 06:37

Recently I found some new Knorr recipes from the i-weekly supplement booklet and most of them look delicious and pretty easy to prepare at home. Since I am a Knorr supporter who always stock up quite a varieties of their products in my pantry, I decided to try out this Stir-fry Tom Yam Chicken which is a very eye-catching dish from their Facebook page.

After a quick Google, I found the related recipe from Philip's website (KeropokMan). And with the necessary ingredients here is my version of Stir-fry Tom Yam Chicken which my family agrees that it goes pretty well with steamed rice! Give it a shot if you are a Tom Yam lover as this dish is quick and hassle free.

Above are some of the Knorr Stock Cubes and Seasoning which I always stock up in my pantry. I just love to add in half to 1 of these stock cubes to enhance the flavour of our soup. Furthermore just a few weeks back, I also get to learn some quick and easy dishes using these stock cubes from Knorr new recipes by Chef Daniel Koh.


KNORR STIR-FRY TOM YAM CHICKEN
(recipe by Chef Daniel Koh)


Here is my version of Stir-fry Tom Yam Chicken using Chef Daniel's recipe and since I am using 1/2 portion of chicken (instead of chicken breast from original recipe) plus we prefer something less savoury I reduce the amount of stock cube to half instead of 1 cube. And also I added in more lemon grass and Thai basil leaves to achieve that unique fragrant of Thai dishes.


(Serves: 2-4 | Preparation: 10 minutes | Cooking: 15 minutes)

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 Portion of Chicken, cut into bite sizes
  • 1/2 Cube Knorr Tom Yam Stock
  • 250ml Hot Water
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Knorr Hao Chi
  • 1/2 Lime, sliced
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Lime Zest
  • 2 Stick Lemon Grass, cut into diagonal sections
  • 4 Kaffir Lime Leaf, roughly tear
  • 2 - 3 Whole Shallot
  • 2 Garlic Clove
  • 1 - 2 Small Chilli, sliced
  • A Handful of Thai Basil
  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Milk, optional


Method:-
1. Season chicken pieces with Knorr Hao Chi, 1 teaspoon of cornflour, mix well and marinate for at least 5 minutes. Dissolve 1/2 Knorr Tom Yam Cube in 250ml of hot water and set aside.

2. Preheat pan with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, saute chicken pieces for 2 minutes till slightly brown in colour.

3. Push them aside, add in lemongrass, onion, garlic and lime leaf continue to fry the mixture till fragrant.

4. Add in Knorr Tom Yam stock, bring the mixture to boil and let it simmer over medium low heat for 7 minutes before adding it lime slices and basil leaves, continue to simmer for another 3 minutes or till stock reduce to your desire consistency.

5. Lastly lace it with coconut milk, give a quick toss, plate and serve with steamed rice.


* Recipe adapted from Chef Daniel Koh's Knorr Stir-fry Tom Yam Chicken Recipe

Ingredients: (Original Recipe)
1 Piece Chicken Breast
1 Cube Knorr Tom Yam Stock (dissolve 1 Knorr Cube in 250ml of water)
1 Tbsp Knorr Hao Chi
1/2 Slice Lime
1/3 Teaspoon Lime Zest
1 Stick Lemon Grass, cut into small pieces
1 Lime Leaf, julienned
1 Tablespoon Chopped Onion
2 Slice Garlic
1 Piece Chilli Padi, diced
1 Stalk Basil
1 Tablespoon Coconut Milk

Important Update: Twitter 1.1 API and your Netvibes account
May 3rd 2013, 13:28

IF YOU’RE USING THE TWITTER APP ON YOUR NETVIBES BASIC DASHBOARD, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.

twitter-API

Starting Monday, May 6, due to Twitter's new API policy, you'll need to have a Twitter account linked to Netvibes Basic to continue using Twitter apps and searches from your dashboard. Twitter will require user authentication and rate-limiting, which means not just Netvibes, but all 3rd party Twitter services, will be affected.

The good news is Netvibes will update all our social apps to work seamlessly with the new Twitter API. Next Monday, we are going to roll out a product upgrade.

In the meantime, old Twitter API keys have been revoked today in preparation for this update. This will result in all Twitter apps displaying an “unknown error” message, which means you’re going to have to re-install your current Twitter app (from the Add Content / Essentials menu) to make sure it works flawlessly with the new API. This will not affect any Social Search app you’re currently using, no data will be lost.

In summary: if you’re a Netvibes Basic user, re-install your Twitter app today to avoid any issues with the new API on Monday.
