Easy Chinese Corn Soup

This soup was very good, but it needs some salt added to the recipe. Maybe a teaspoon for the whole recipe.

Easy Chicken Satay

I used this recipe that Moh found, and changed it to make it more like a dish he had once, going according to his description. I cut the chicken into cubes instead of strips, marinating like in the recipe. Then I sauteed, not grilled, the chicken in a heavy skillet, and added some small cubed potato. After making the sauce, I poured it into the skillet on top of the chicken and potato. I guess it is a repeater, but I think I would thin out the sauce with more chicken broth.
