A new running record for me, 5000 meters for 41 minutes and 25 seconds. Most people can finish 5K under 40 minutes. Not me. I am not a runner but I enjoy running making my heart work harder. It's a race against myself, like many things in life.

Tried a variation of Pad See Ew tonight. First time making Thai rice noodles dish, not bad at all. I soaked my dried rice noodles in freshly boiled water just under 1 minute before tossing them into a pan of cooked vegetables and omelette chunks. I served it with grilled salmon. Lime juice drizzle just before serving is highly recommended!
I will try Pad Kee Mao next (don't you just love the sound of the name?)

Rediscovered black/purple rice this week. It has a nice texture (not as coarse as other wholegrain rice) and a unique fragrance. And the good thing is that it's very tolerant of the cooking as it doesn't get mushy. My preferred way of cooking is to 1) wash the rice in three changes of water, 2) bring 1 part of rice and 1.5 part of water to boil, 3) heat off and cover for 30 minutes, 4) heat on again for 10 minutes and 4) heat off and cover for another 10 minutes. Fluff and eat.
Next time I will try cooking for 20 minutes on low heat and heat off/cover for 10 minutes.
