- 3 Mushrooms
- 1 clove Garlic
- 400 ml Milk

- Parboil the turnip greens and cut into easy-to-eat sizes.
- I also recommend parboiling the cabbage leaves at this point, so it retains its color better.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt.
- Coat with 1 tablespoon of water (not listed) and rub well.
- The meat will soften this way.
- In a pot, layer the cabbage core, turnips, and cabbage greens from bottom to top in this order.
- Pour enough water to cover about the bottom half, and turn the heat to high.
- Once it reaches a boil, reduce to low heat.
- Once the veggies start to turn translucent, turn off the heat.
- Add vegetable oil and garlic in a frying pan, and saute over low heat.
- Once fragrant, cook the chicken and mushrooms over medium heat.
- Once the chicken is cooked through after about 6 minutes of sauteing, add butter, and sprinkle as if coating the chicken with flour.
- Stir well while being careful not to let it brown.
- Pour in a little bit of milk, stir and once it's incorporated, pour in a bit of milk again... repeat this process and thin out the sauce.
- Once it starts to thicken, pour the stew into the pot containing the veggies and cook over low heat.
- Add the parboiled turnip greens, season with salt and it's done.
- To finish, drop a pat of butter, or sprinkle coarsely ground pepper if you like.
- If you microwave the flour, it won't be floury and makes this easier to cook.
- Please refer to Step 1 in.

Ingredients:
- 1 Egg
- 200 ml Milk
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 drops Vanilla essence
- 2 tbsp Sugar (light brown sugar or brown sugar)
- 2 tbsp Water
Directions:
- Combine the milk and sugar in a microwave-safe dish and microwave for 3-3:30 minutes at 500 W.
- Meanwhile, prepare for steaming.
- If you don't have a steamer, add hot water to a frying pan (to half the depth of the pudding cups).
- Crack the egg, beat with chopsticks (don't let it foam) and strain.
- Take the warmed milk and stir up the sugar that has sunk to the bottom, then add the egg.
- (Now it's time to get busy).
- Stir the pudding mixture gently, and pour into the pudding cups.
- Cover with aluminum foil, and set in the middle of the steamer (or frying pan).
- Important: Use a very low heat, and steam for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, stop the heat and leave as-is for 15 minutes.
- Remove the cups from the steamer, and place in the refrigerator (top with caramel sauce now, if using).
- Chill and enjoy.
- Caramel Sauce: In a microwave-safe deep dish, add the sugar and water.
- Stir gently and microwave for 2-3 minutes at 500 W.
- Remove the dish (careful it's hot!).
- Stir for 30 seconds and it's ready!
- Pour over the pudding, while it's still warm or after it's cooled.
- The warm caramel sauce is silky.
- The trick is to use light brown sugar or brown sugar for that gorgeous color!
- The chilled caramel sauce is thicker.
- If you want to thin it a bit; add 1 teaspoon hot water.
- Using white sugar in the caramel sauce results in it becoming white.
- It's mild without any bitterness.

- You can lower the heat so that the pressure regulator only jiggles a few times per minute.
- At the end of the 45 minutes, turn off the heat and allow the pressure to drop of its own accord.
- If the peanuts are not soft enough or salty enough, leave the lid off of the pressure cooker and boil the peanuts until they are to your liking.
- Instructions for using raw, dry peanuts (not roasted peanuts; they must be raw, dry, and in the shell):
- Put peanuts in a cooking pot and cover with cool water.
- Allow to soak overnight.
- The next day, drain off water and refill pot with enough fresh water to completely cover the peanuts.
