Hi, today I'm going to blog about loving your food and reducing food waste.

Food, Glorious Food In Malaysia
Our beautiful country Malaysia is a food heaven in reality. Being a multi-racial and multi-ethnic country, we have a gastronomic multi-cultural feast of cuisines to choose from such as Malay food, Chinese food, Indian food, Western food, the Mamaks, Thai food, Japanese food, Korean food, Vietnamese food and so much more.

Apart from that, with our endless festivities celebration, the word 'food' always comes into the picture. Malaysian hospitality that loves to have 'Open House' or 'Rumah Terbuka' where everyone is invited to feast and celebrate with food during these festivities.
Guests are treated to an abundance of food and the hospitable host often makes sure everyone is well-fed. At the end of the day, we normally cook more than the guests can consume, resulting in a lot of food wastage.

In between, with hotels and restaurants offering the Buffets or Eat-All-You-Can promotions throughout the year for the celebration of festivities, more food wastage is generated through this practice in our country.

Leftovers Desserts At Buffets
Malaysian, on the other hand, are foodies by nature. Bad eating habits of Malaysian is another factor that contributes to the food wastage. They fancy ordering lots of food from the menu and have troubles finishing it, so more food wastage is generated.
Shopping Heaven
Shopping at the local hypermarket can contribute to this problem too. Shoppers usually are attracted to offers and promotions during the sale period, so ended up buying more than they need. Honestly speaking, yours truly is one of those shoppers that cannot resist not buying something that's on offer at a special price. I often lose track of my own grocery shopping list and comes home with more food that I need.
According to Alam Flora chief executive officer Mohd Zain Hassan about 15,000 tonnes of 33,000 tonnes of wastage is a result of food waste, and 60% from the food wastage is avoidable by knowing the right way to store, plan and portion the household’s usage.
Determine Your Needs From Your Wants
Well, one of the good habits to instill in everyone to reduce the food wastage is to have proper well-plan shopping and storing system. One must determine their needs and wants. We should only buy to replenish the food. It's important to clear your food at home before the next shopping trip to the supermarket. Everyone should be responsible working towards a nation that "LoveFoodHateWaste".

Buy Only What You Need
Plan your menu well, before shopping according to the average consumption to feed your family. First, make a list of all of the things you think you need to buy. Think of saving money on groceries while you make the shopping list often does the trick so we won't ended buying others food items unnecessary. You need to buy what you need. Shop on a budget, think of saving and remember never bring your kids during grocery shopping.
Moving on, I would like to give pointers on the right way store food, extend food lifespan, portioning and planning of food purchases in households.
Proper Fridge Storage
Proper Fridge Storage plays a vital role in reducing food wastage. It's important to have knowledge of simple knows how to store our food in the fridge, get organised to prevent spoilage thus keeping our food fresher.
Here's how to get a cleaner, healthier and more organised fridge in three simple steps:
1.Keep It Safe Set the temperature in your refrigerator below 40°F. This keeps food cold enough to prevent bacterial growth, which can cause food poisoning. If your refrigerator doesn't have a built-in thermometer, an appliance thermometer placed on the centre shelf also will work.
2. Keep It Fresh Making sure foods are at their peak of freshness not only protects your family from food poisoning, it also helps your food taste better.
Schedule a weekly freshness check: Once a week, toss all spoiled leftovers and packaged foods that are passed their expiration date.
Wrap it right: Make sure all meat, poultry, and seafood are either tightly wrapped or stored in sealed containers. This will ensure that their juices don't leak and contaminate other foods.
Packaged raw meat: To prevent dripping which can contaminate other foods, store packaged raw meat on the bottom shelf.
Produce: Store fruits and vegetables in the crisper drawer. If yours has dual controls, adjust them to allow for higher humidity for vegetables and lower humidity for fruits.
Condiments: The door is the warmest part of your refrigerator, making it best for storing long shelf-life items.
3. Keep It Clean
Nothing spreads bacteria faster than a dirty fridge. Think of soap and water, give your fridge a thorough cleaning with hot, soapy water. Remember to wipe spills as it can spread bacteria fast. Get organized, by storing leftovers in clear glass containers making food easy to find. Freshen it with an open box of baking soda, so it'll always smell clean and fresh. For more tips and information, check out these three websites:
Last but not least, please take a minute or two to watch this video and I hope will bring the message clear and precise why we must all work towards the tagline of "LoveFoodHateWaste".
Follow the journey of a strawberry from the farm to the refrigerator to understand all that it takes to bring your food to you. Did you know that 40% of our food ends up wasted? Wasted food is the single largest contributor to landfills in the US - not to mention that it wastes water, labor, fuel, money, & love!
In summary,
Food waste not only hits us in the pocket but has a serious impact on the environment too.
Producing, distributing, storing and cooking food uses energy, fuel, and water. Each of these emits greenhouse gases contributing to climate change.
Two main reasons why we throw away good food: we cook or prepare too much or we don’t use it in time.

FUSION
SOBA NOODLES WITH SEAWEED AND CHICKEN
These tasty noodles are lightly tossed in soy sauce and topped with teriyaki chicken breast and nutrient-dense nori seaweed. This low caloried dish packs a punch with its flavours. While this dish seems simple enough, the technique involved is quite complexed.
This is in fact my Top Pick, my choice of healthy eating which I look for in eating clean and light meal. Mildy flavoured with light soy sauce, it's get the flavouring from the nori seaweed. I always enjoyed eating the lean non-fat chicken breast meat as I'm not a fan of chicken skin too.
Excellent choice picking soba noodles, which is made from buckwheat flour as part of the ingredients for the dish. I liked the nutty flavour of the soba which work work well as a base for this low-carb dish.
• Soba noodles are low in calories and are rich in Manganese which converts food into energy.
• Made with skinless boneless chicken breast.
• Seaweed is high in fibre and essential minerals and vitamins.
FUSION
FALAFELS SERVED IN A PITA WITH GARLIC MINT YOGURT
If you are feeling like something exotic, their take on the middle eastern classic, Falafel, will hit all the right spot. High in fibre and packed with energy, this zesty pita wrap will have you feeling satisfied till your next meal. You no longer have to snack in between meals!
My son loves this to bits (I still dunno why), but I'm pleased that he enjoys this pack a punch of healthy pita rather than the usual McDonald as well as Kentucky Fried Chicken that he sometimes craves for. Serving may be small but somehow it kept my son satiated till his next meal; dinner!
• Chickpeas are a lean protein and are high in fibre. • Yogurt promotes digestive health. • The whole wheat pita boosts the fibre content of the dish.
SPICY THAI CHICKEN AND SNOW PEA STIRFRY
They lightly stir fry this spicy dish and serve it with brown rice for an added boost of fibre and nutrients. This healthful dish will not disappoint lovers of Thai cuisine with our simple but delicate approach to cooking it.
I would recommend it to those who like spicy food but not the oil, the chicken breast is stir fried with snow pea for the added crunch, together with the house made spicy Thai sauce.
• Made with skinless boneless chicken breast. • Brown rice makes you stay fuller longer and helps to maintain a healthy body weight. • Snow peas are quickly stir-fried to retain crunch and vitamin content.
ASIAN
NASI LEMAK
Instead of cooking the brown rice in santan, it's toss with virgin coconut oil known for its boost of energy, healthy fatty acids and fat-burning properties. The combination of the sambal (chilli), hard boiled egg and anchovies makes for one exciting dish and pays tribute to one of Malaysia's most iconic dishes.
Well, your craving for the sinful nasi lemak stop here, a well-thought dish replacing the santan with coconut oil; chicken and sambal were good and you still get your regular dose of Malaysian's favourite food from Food Matters, without sacrificing on the taste and flavour.
• Brown rice makes you stay fuller longer and helps to maintain a healthy body weight. • Virgin coconut oil is a superfood, which aids in fat loss and promotes glowing skin and shiny hair.
FUSION
KOREAN KIMCHI AND BULGOGI BEEF WRAP
Calling all Korean cuisine lovers! This wrap is packed with lean steak slices marinated in bulgogi sauce and topped with slivers of kimchi and caramelized onion. Busy and can’t spare time to sit down and eat? Don’t fret as this wrap is fuss free and can be eaten on the go.
Good to go food for those looking for a quick meal or bites while being busy at work. You will love the spicy and sourish flavour of the healthy kimchi wrap with lean steak and sweet onions.
FUSION
SALMON CILANTRO FISHCAKES WITH QUINOA MISO SALAD
These fishcakes are baked till golden and served with a nutritious protein-rich quinoa salad tossed with a miso dressing. Perfect if you’re seeking a nutritious and protein dense meal especially after a solid work out at the gym.
Nutritious Protein-Rich Quinoa Salad
• Baked salmon, a lean protein that’s high in omega-3 fatty acids and an excellent source of Vitamin D. • Quinoa is a protein rich food that contains all nine essential amino acids. • Quinoa has almost twice as much fibre as other grains.
All-on-all, I truly believe that healthy eating is made more accessible for Malaysians now with Food Matters offering a food delivery service to all now.
