January 2023 Challenge : Day #0 (Lamb Shoulder)

Back track a bit ya. We go back to day #0 (new year eve) and day #2 (again) of the challenge.

On new year eve I took out this packet of lamb shoulder (defrosted in the fridge the night before).

I bought this from Feast Market.

I have not been buying anything from Feast Market lately simply because my standalone freezer quit on me hah..hah.. Not buying a replacement yet, save some money first.

There were 5 pieces of lamb shoulder and I cooked all of them in the air fryer. I can only fit two pieces at any one time. I ate three pieces for lunch and kept two for dinner.

These two pieces were for dinner and the fat solidified. Saturated fats are solid while unsaturated fats (vegetable/seed oils) are liquid at room temperature. That's because of the difference between the structural bond of the fatty acids, I won't go into that lah. 

I also added some chicken feet soup. Ignore the bits of celery which escaped when I strained the broth.

So that was new year eve dinner. I know it looked terribly unattractive (maybe yucky even).

On 02-01-2023, I made air fryer eggs. This is pretty much like baked eggs. 

I overcooked the eggs.

Then I made air fryer bacon. Just lay out the bacon in a single layer.

Air fry at 180C for 5 minutes.

Then flip the bacon.

Continue to cook at 180C for another 5 minutes.

This is how is looks like.

The level of crispy was good enough for me and I did not go any further as I don't want to burn the bacon.

That was a nice lunch!
