KOTA KINABALU, June 7 — Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) is expected to decide on the United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation's (Upko) application to join the coalition as a component party on June 18.

GRS secretary-general Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said he is currently conducting engagement sessions with Upko leaders to gather the necessary information before preparing a paper for consideration at the coalition's Supreme Council meeting on that date.

“The GRS meeting is scheduled to take place on June 18 and an official decision is expected to be made then,” he told reporters after officiating the Ihsan Food Bank (i-FB) Initiative programme here today.

Armizan, who is also Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister, described Upko's application as a positive development towards uniting Sabah-based parties under a common political platform.

He said a key condition for Upko's admission is its commitment to GRS’ four core principles: Sabah First, Sabah Forward, Sabah Prosper and Sabah United.

On May 29, Upko formally submitted its application to GRS chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, who is also Sabah Chief Minister, through its president, Datuk Ewon Benedick.

GRS currently comprises five component parties: Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah, Parti Bersatu Sabah, Liberal Democratic Party, Parti Harapan Rakyat Sabah and Parti Cinta Sabah. — Bernama

If you own a slow cooker, you know it’s probably the most convenient and versatile device ever created. (And it’s the perfect way to make great-tasting meals without being in the kitchen for hours!) Tonight, enjoy our slow-cooked chicken and lentil chili, a nutritious dish that’s hearty, healthy and full of budget-friendly veggies.

RD Tip: You’ll notice that we don’t add the tomato sauce until the beans have had some time to cook. This is because adding dried black beans to the slow cooker at the same time as an acidic ingredient (tomato sauce) can prevent the beans from ever fully softening.

Active time: 15 minutes | Total time: 8 hours, 15 minutes

Newest volume in Ghibli cookbook series is packed with easy-to-make recipes for fans of the anime film.

The delicious-looking depictions of food in Ghibli anime have become as much a calling card of the studio as scenes of magical flight and whimsically emotional storytelling. So if fans are going to have their stomachs growling after watching a Ghibli film, it’s only fair that someone tell us how to make the meals for ourselves here in the real world too, right?

That’s the idea behind the Ghibli’s Table cookbook series from Japanese publisher Shufu no Tomo. Each volume shines the spotlight on a different Ghibli anime, teaching how to bring that mouthwatering anime food to your own kitchen, and the newest book is all about Ponyo.

Naturally, the recipes include one for Lisa’s Ham and Egg Ramen, the movie’s most memorable edible work of art.

▼ And yes, there’s a way to get your hands on that exact bowl, too.

The book also contains recipes for adding the Hot Honey Milk that warms Sosuke and Ponyo up to your repertoire, plus the Risa’s In a Hurry Sandwich and the Giant Soft Serve Ice Cream that Sosuke snacks on (sharing optional).

In addition, the 64-page cookbook introduces a number of original recipes inspired by the anime, such as an Overflowing Magic Rice Omelet, Sailor’s Seafood White Curry, and Mysterious Seawater Orb Gelatin, sort of a cooking equivalent to anime soundtrack bonus image songs.

▼ Previous entries in the Ghibli’s Table series have covered Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, and Laputa/Castle in the Sky.

Though Ghibli anime are produced by some of the most talented artists in their fields, the Ghibli’s Table cookbooks are written with more casual culinary creators in mind, with simple, easy-to-follow steps and photo examples to help keep cooks on track, Shufu no Tomo says, and it even recommends the books for parents and kids who want to try making something together.

The Ponyo edition of the Ghibli’s Table series is priced at 1,980 yen (US$13) and goes on sale July 10, but preorders are open now and can be placed through Amazon Japan here. And if you need to whip up some Ghibli snacks right now, we have a recipe for Spirited Away sweets you could be making right now.

Stir a few ingredients together in your slow cooker, add chicken breasts and you’ve got a chicken dinner with a velvety Thai inspired peanut sauce ready when you are. We add crisp-tender broccoli, but green beans, carrots, baby corn or a long list of other veggies are welcome. The trick is to briefly microwave or steam the veggies and stir them through the sauce right before serving so they’re not overcooked. Serve over brown rice or quinoa.

Active time: 10 minutes | Total time: 4 hours, 10 minutes (low) or 2 hours, 10 minutes (high)

Slow Cooker Peanut Chicken With Broccoli

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup light coconut milk
• 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tsp Thai red curry paste
• 1 tsp lemongrass paste
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1 tsp cornstarch

Directions

In a 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, rice vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, red curry paste, and lemongrass paste until smooth. Stir in the onion and garlic. Add the chicken and stir to coat.

Cover and cook on low for 3½–4 hours or on high for 2–2½ hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice or shred into bite-size pieces. Pour the cooking liquid into a small saucepan. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1 tbsp cold water until smooth, then stir into the saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

While the sauce thickens, combine the broccoli with 2 tbsp water in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 2–3 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Alternatively, steam the broccoli on the stovetop for about 3 minutes. Drain.

Arrange the chicken and broccoli on a serving platter or divide between bowls. Pour the sauce over the top and serve immediately.

Serves: 4 | Serving Size: 4 oz. chicken, 1 cup broccoli, 1/4 cup sauce
