Have a nice weekend everyone! Friday, May 07, 2004 After Dinner Tea and Fruit
My post dinner tea and snack.. Chicken Parcels
The usual suspects ie garlic salt, black pepper, rosemary herbs, good honey, chinese rice wine, dark soy sauce, 5 spice powder(not pictured here). How to:- Marinate chicken with the above-mentioned seasonings.Let stand at least 30 minutes.Wrap chicken pieces with parchment paper and bake in the pre-heated oven at 400F for 35 minutes. Hubby's share of dinner:) Thursday, May 06, 2004 Spicy Peking Noodles
Made with hot bean paste & imitation shrimp noodles.The rest of the recipe can be found at RecipeSource.com=) Wednesday, May 05, 2004 Chinese Steamed Buns
Had the urge to eat pau(s) today so i made that for dinner.I only managed a couple of pictures though as my hands were full.Sorry about that. 1 teaspoon sugar & 1 quarter ounce active dry yeast stirred into 1 cup lukewarm water. After the yeast mixture turned foamy(10minutes), I added it to 3 cups flour and kneaded the dough until it became "elastic". Cover it with a damp cloth and let the dough proof for about 3 hours.Afterwhich it should look like this picture. Divide the dough into 16 equal parts. Roast pork filling:- ground pork canned water chestnuts(oriental section of walmart) light soy sauce rice wine scallions finely chopped honey salt pepper red colouring(i got this from walmart) Combine ingredients together and sautee them in a hot skillet. Flatten each piece of dough with a rolling pin and place 1 tablespoon of pork filling in the centre.Seal up the corners with fingers and steam the buns for 20 minutes. Not really attractive....I still need a lot of practice:) Tuesday, May 04, 2004 Homemade dinner on a plate(thai red chicken/veggie curry & egg custard)
My dinner cramped onto a plate.It's something asians rarely do but i didn't feel like washing much tonight.I added some rice wine before steaming the eggs and it was yummy! Monday, May 03, 2004 My own variation of Mee Goreng & Japanese Grilled Fish

Sunday, May 02, 2004 Satay with Peanut Sauce!
Alright since i haven't had much luck in finding Lodge Logic pre-seasoned cast iron grill pan at my nearest grocery stores, I bought a hamilton beach electric grill as its replacement.At US40.00 a pop, definitely more expensive than most cast iron grills.Silver lining?Lesser smoke, easier cleanup and without having to repeatedly season the grill.See everyone is happy 'cept maybe my poor wallet:\ In the midst of cooking chicken satay. My dinner inclusive of dipping peanut sauce.I got a new tablecloth heh! Satay 3lbs chicken breast strips 2 tablespoons light soy sauce 2 tablespoons fish sauce A little rice wine Minced garlic and ginger 1 tablespoon honey Peanut Sauce Some low fat milk Creamy peanut butter Thai red curry paste Honey Saturday, May 01, 2004 Friday's simple fare[Chicken&Hotdogs(!) fried rice and Cabbage/Onion Soup]
I think i may have taken over a year to get my fried rice tasting like the ones in south-east asia.Yeap i came a long way,but it's all worth it. The "trick" is cooking your fried rice with thai jasmine rice or basmati rice.Both textures are light and separated as oppose to japanese rice.Secondly, make your rice with slightly less water than usual to avoid clumps and better ease at tossing.Lastly, experiment with different seasonings each time until you find what clicks with your family. For japanese rice, i prefer eating them in donburi style meals.The dense sweetish taste of the rice really brings out the flavour of "rice bowl dishes". |
