I was looking through the U.S. Potatoes website for some interesting recipes when I came across this one – Honey Mustard & Herb Scallop U.S. Potatoes by Consultant Dietitian Indra Balaratnam. It is a low-fat dish made with thinly sliced U.S. Russet Potatoes and a flavorful herb cream sauce. It is made with U.S. Russet Potatoes, vegetable broth, low-fat milk, honey, fresh tarragon herb, butter, onion, and pinches of salt and pepper. Per serving, it only has 4g of fat and 164 kCal overall.
I enjoy potato dishes a lot personally. For good reason, potatoes are an appreciated staple food in countries worldwide. In particular, U.S. Potatoes are delicious, extremely versatile, and packed with nutrients. There are plenty of ways to prepare and eat this nutrient-dense vegetable, from baked potatoes to mashed potatoes and everything in between.
The fact that U.S. Potatoes are a healthier option is one of their main advantages. They are the perfect food for you who are seeking to maintain a healthy diet because they are free of cholesterol, sodium, and fat. They are a low-calorie food that can help in weight management because each serving only has 110 calories, which is approximately the same as a medium-sized potato.
U.S. Potatoes are not only low in calories but also higher in energy than any other popular vegetable. About 30% of your daily value of vitamin C, which is crucial for boosting the immune system of the body, can be found in a medium-sized U.S. Potato. Our immune systems can be naturally strengthened by vitamin C, which can help us fight off illnesses like the common cold.
Vitamin B6, which is crucial for healthy cell function, is another impressive nutrient found in U.S. Potatoes. 10% of the recommended daily value of vitamin B6 is found in one medium potato. A critical component of metabolism, the production of blood cells, and cell health is played by vitamin B6. Additionally, each serving of potatoes contains 3 grams of plant-based protein, an essential component of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues.
Potassium, a mineral that is essential to many bodily processes, is another nutrient that can be found in abundance in U.S. Potatoes. A medium-sized potato, including the skin, has 620 milligrams of potassium per serving, which is 15% higher than a medium-sized banana. Potassium supports healthy hydration levels, controls blood pressure, and supports healthy muscle and nerve function.
U.S. Potatoes are extremely versatile and can be cooked in a variety of ways. They offer countless cooking options for meals, including baking, steaming, boiling, frying, and grilling. U.S. Potatoes are a delicious and wholesome addition to any meal, whether they are served as a side dish, the main course, or in a salad.
I really like how versatile, tasty, and nutrient-dense potatoes are—they have lots of advantages for your health. They are a high-nutrient food that is low in calories, fat, and cholesterol and high in vitamins, minerals, and plant-based protein. U.S. Potatoes are a great option whether you want to enhance your general health or just enjoy a delicious meal.
Hello guys! I recently tried a delicious Nasi Impit recipe using Raya treats from Love Earth Organic, and to my surprise, I discovered that it was both simple to make and tasted good. I was thrilled to find this recipe, which uses Love Earth Organic Jasmine Rice, Love Earth Mushroom Seasoning and a few other ingredients also from Love Earth Organic.

Nasi Impit is a traditional Malay cooking that is made of rice that has been cooked and compressed into a solid block or cylinder, and then cut into small cubes. It resembles our Malaysians favourite, ketupat, which is also made of compressed rice, except that ketupats are cooked in a woven pouch made of palm leaves. Usually nasi impit is served with many kinds of delicious dishes like rendang, sambal, dried chili flakes, satay and peanut sauce.
Although it is a straightforward process, making Nasi Impit takes some time. However, you can quickly and easily prepare this classic dish using Love Earth Organic’s Jasmine Rice and seasoning. The products from Love Earth Organic are healthier options for you and your family because they are 100% natural and organic.
If you’re not familiar with Love Earth Organic, it’s a Malaysian brand that focuses on providing high-quality organic and natural products. They sell a variety of organic foods, snacks, as well as personal care and home goods.

The characters on the KitKat ® Ketupat packaging, which represent diversity, community, and the joy of sharing “rezeki,” served as the inspiration for the animated music video.

This season’s signature dish is presented by Chef Arih bin Ahmad, harking back to fond memories of his mother’s cooking — Daging bakar masak lemak, a Negeri Sembilan classic. Spiced with serai, cili padi and kunyit, the smoked meat (‘daging salai’) is then paired with creamy santan and belimbing besi, a combination that melds spicy, rich and smoky flavors, a traditional dish that whets the appetite.
Another showstopper is the tender, juicy, Kambing Golek, grilled and served live at the buffet. Classics not to be missed include Rendang Ayam, Ketupat Palas, Satay, Gear Box Soup, Ikan Bakar, Shawarma, Sotong Belado, Nasi Tomato, Sup Kambing & Perut and plenty more!

Chinese wheat noodles known as mee sua are thin and are frequently used in soups and stir-fries. It is well-known for its delicate texture and mild flavour and is a common comfort food in many Asian countries. In this recipe, I will be using Love Earth Pumpkin Mee Sua (mix), which comes in four mixed flavors – original, pumpkin, spinach, and beetroot, pairs well with savory flavors like chicken and mushrooms.
Poach chicken thighs first, that’s what you’ll need to do. By gently simmering food in water until it is thoroughly cooked, you can prepare food by poaching. Because this recipe calls for moist, tender chicken, poaching is a great way to maintain those qualities. Poach the chicken thigh for eight minutes. The chicken should then be taken out of the pot and submerged for a short while in ice water. By doing so, you’ll be able to stop the cooking process and preserve the chicken’s juicy texture.
Time to prepare the Mee Sua now. The four mixed flavours of Love Earth Mee Sua are original, pumpkin, spinach, and beetroot. I am using the pumpkin flavour in this recipe. Just boil the mee sua in the chicken broth for about 3 minutes. Remember to add in Love Earth Mushroom Seasoning into the soup to taste. Once the mee sua is cooked, serve it in a bowl and add in vegetable and the poached chicken.
This recipe is an excellent choice for a quick and simple lunch or dinner. Additionally, it is a nutrient-dense meal that is high in protein, fibre, and vitamins. A delicious umami flavour is added by the Love Earth Mushroom Seasoning, and the pumpkin Mee Sua is a distinctive and delectable take on a traditional dish.
Ingredients:
1 chicken thigh
1 Love Earth Mee Sua
Love Earth Mushroom Seasoning, to taste
4 cups of water
Ice water
Vegetables of your choice
Instructions:
Bring water to a boil in a pot.
Add in the chicken thigh and let it poach for 8 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pot and place it into a bowl of ice water for a few minutes to stop the cooking process.
Cook the Love Earth Mee Sua (Pumpkin) in the chicken broth for 3 minutes.
Add Love Earth Mushroom Seasoning to taste.
Cook until mee sua is cooked.
Add in the poached chicken and vegetables of your choice.
Serve hot and enjoy!
