My Birthday Trip Lampang- Chiang Rai

It's a long time ago, since I had a trip with my family members. This time, I went to Lampang- Chiang Rai  with my brother, mom, dad and niece. Last Friday was my birthday, so I called it my brithday trip, haha.

We started very early in the morning because we had a plan that we went to Lampang first before going to Chiang-rai .

As I said that I start cooking again, ^^, and I have so much fun with it, hehe. Cooking is different from baking in many ways but the result is the same because all we need is "something delicious" .

Happy Cooking with LG SolarDOM: Coconut Milk Sticky Rice with Mangoes "Khao Neeo Mamuang"

 

 After having my LG SolarDOM, I still playing with it, hehe. Microwave cooking is so much fun for me.

Because cooking with the microwave use less time than usual  something that I think that it's hard to make or use a lot of time, seen to be different.

 LG SolarDOM has many functions, anyway, this time I'm still using the microwave funtion (well, start trying another function ^^, it's fun, hehe, and I will show you later). I never thought that making Coconut Milk Sticky Rice will be very easy when using the microwave. If you use the steamer you will need a lot more time (anyway, you need to soak the rice, but with my hot water soaking, the soaking time is only 3 hours). By using the microwave, you cook it in the microwave for only 10 minutes!!!!, AMAZING! 

The other benefits are you can cook a small portion without any problem, and nothing much to be washed ( I think it's very important, ^^, it's mean stress free cooking).

The watt of the microwave is important too, luckily my SolarDOM is very user friendly, you don't have to doutb, or try to read the insturction to know the watt of the microwave power. After selecting the microwave function, you can choose the watt by yourself. Cooking rice need 600watt, if you use more watt the rice will be hard and undercooked (the power is too much, the water dry before the rice cook).

I really love the result, with only half hour of working time (the soaking time is not counted), I get soft and sweet Coconut Milk Sticky Rice to eat with mangoes, which they are in the season right now. And if you making it this way I think you won't turn back, steaming rice for an hour, for me not anymore, haha.
