This one may not be just Asian. But it's really good, full of wholesome goodness and really simple and easy to make.

Recipe

Line tin with baking paper. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Ingredients A
4 eggs
1 C sugar
1 C salad oil
1 t vanilla
Put in a big bowl and beat it for a while.

Ingredients B
2 C flour
2 t baking soda
2 t cinnamon (optional)
I used one and half cups of whole meal flour and half cup of finely ground nuts for a much healthier version. Sieve it straight into the bowl. Stir well.

Ingredients C
3 C finely grated carrots
1 C sultana
Add to above mixture. Pour into tin and into the oven to bake for about 50 minutes. Use a skewer to test for doneness.

This carrot cake is very moist and nice. Check out photos if you need to.

I made a very delicious Baked Chicken Curry yesterday. Everyone in my family says it's awesome. It's very easy. It's very nice to go with plain rice or you can use it for burger or baguette. I consider curry as a healthy food because of the many spices used which are good for health.

A super fast Chinese restaurant style roasted chicken. Roasting remove a lot of oil from the chicken. This is a very nice dish which goes great with plain rice and another dish of vegetables or just salad.

My favorite stand by for a quick lunch is to take an inch long piece of gingerroot diced- and boil in a cup of water. Add peanut butter for body and soy sauce to taste. Add cooked (or quick cooking) noodles, top with scallion. Serve on a bed of greens such as bok choy. Try to dice the bok choy and make sure the noodles and sauce are hot to slightly wilt them.

I made a very awesome, healthy bread yesterday. It was so fresh and so full of flavour. I made avocado cheese sandwich with it. It tasted really, really good. Making bread is very easy. It's unbeatable. I will not buy again. Check it out at http://tinyurl.com/m7ck7f
