As I was flipping thru the channels on the TV last weekend, the program 'Kitchen Boss' caught my eye. Buddy, the chef is usually joined by his family members in this show. This time around it was his Aunt. (i think...) So far, I think his/family recipes is really easy to follow. I have not tried any of it until this dish caught my attention.
It was a fish and veggie dish.
I missed out the first part of the fish section. But the veggie part was really easy to make.
The ingredients were pretty simple too.
- olive oil
- garlic
- caper
- anchovies
- zucchini
It was super easy and it 'sounded/looks' delicious.
As we were doing our usually weekly grocery shopping for the week. The salmon at the fish section was calling to to me.... (cos it looks fresh) I asked the 'MR' if he's up for a salmon pasta with a twist for dinner that day and he gave me the nod.
So I made this simple picolino cucumbers dish(I couldn't find zucchini, so I replaced it picolino cucumbers), then top it up with fillet salmon with lemon.
I loveee salmon... Don't get me wrong. But I sometimes feel that salmon has a very heavy and rich body to it especially if it's with pasta.
So I figured, why not mix and match this 2 dish together to ease up the heaviness of it.
It turn out nice...
I should have added more anchovies like how Buddy did!

harvesting bok choy
I managed to harvest all my baby bok choy except 3 or 4 which was destroyed by leaf miner problems.
I'm only disappointed with the size. I guess they don't call it Baby Bok Choy for nothing.

not bake but 'half baked'
A 'half baked' dish that I did last weekend.
Oyster sauce ginger chicken.
As usual, I forgot to add in a few ingredients. I have this bad habit of forgetting to add one or two ingredients when I cook. The problem only happens when I don't refer to the 'recipe collection'.
Sometimes Most of the time, I'm just to lazy to go back and forth to refer the recipe when I cook. hahahaha....
5 little chicken drumsticks
1 tablespoon of oyster sauce + pepper
julienne ginger
1 teaspoon of soy sauce
my missing ingredients was
sesame oil
chinese wine
I marinated the chicken with the oyster sauce and pepper for an hour of more. I prepared the ingredients in advanced and then went on cleaning and mopping the house.
Stir fry the ginger till the smell exploded (which smells wonderful) then add in the chicken. Let it cook for a while till the chicken is white.
I probably added about half a cup of water and let it simmer till it dried up.
The last time I cooked this 'little' chicken drumstick, I undercooked it. The outer part was white and cook, but the inner part near the bones was red and uncooked.
So this time around, I left it there to cook longer with the help of the water.
The dish came out ok. Meat = Totally cook. :)
Just without the kick of the sesame oil smell and the chinese wine taste.
Accompany with Pork Bone Soup with Red Dates, Dried mini Scallops and NZ Spinach.
Together with my disappointing Fried Slice Luncheon Meat.

nihon
Oh my... I really suck at blogging big time!
I meant to blog about my hectic week months ago and I totally forgotten bout it.
For the past month or so, I've been busy trying to keep my bok choy seedlings from dying, been busy working on some freelance design to make some extra cash to fund my natural beauty products and been busy trying to submit as many p.o's as possible... (that's what my coll. said) P.O. sent. Waiting for delivery...
Anyways, 2 months ago I had to go to Japan for work purpose. After coming back from Japan, I had to follow up with the piled up work from office and on top of that, a cousin of mine that I haven't seen for 13 years came down for a short holiday from Glasgow with her husband and 3 beautiful children. They are all so grown up and looking at them makes me feel old....!! *that feeling really sucks...*
Oh well... Back to my trip...
Before heading to Japan, the only food that I was so looking forward to eat was their Ramen.
That's the only food I really miss eating ever since I tried the real 'stuff' 5 years ago.
Sad to say that I didn't pass by any ramen shop while I was there due to the tight schedule. But this time around I DID manage to try some new food and 'drinks'.
Udon(yes, I didn't manage to eat Udon on my first trip), Oden, Chikuwabu and oh... ShoChu... (which I did not manage to snap any pictures)
I spent what ever time I had at Muji, drugstores and supermarkets. Which I had miss out from my last trip there.
Made my way to Muji at Yurakucho (apparently its the biggest shop) from the supplier's office on my day at 4.30pm.
Spent a couple of hours there before my feet was starting to give up on me.*again it was my shoe problem*
On my way back to the hotel. I stopped by at local supermarkets to stock up some Japanese snacks and to my surprise, I found the particular Jamaican Rum that my mom was hunting for her fruit cake, which we can't get it here locally. I was ecstatic when I saw it on the shelf and grab hold of 2 big bottles. (I just found out recently that the airport in Australia has it!)
I just couldn't help myself...
Donated a couple of $$ to Muji before leaving the land of the rising sun.

chicken mushroom soup
Out of the blues, I remembered one of my favorite soup during my childhood time. I can't remember when was the last time I drank this soup. I never really appreciate soup when I was younger and I was fussy with chinese soups. I guess as time pass by and as we grow older, our taste buds change.
So here goes another soup.
Chicken Mushroom Soup (Chinese Style)
- lots of chicken bones or 1/2 kg of chicken ( i stock up my chicken bones to boil soup cos it adds flavor with the pork bones)
- 6-8 shitaki mushrooms ( i replace it with chinese mushroom cos i didn't have shitaki mushroom in hand)
- 6 rice bowls of water
- a hand full of wolfberries
- a hand full of dried scallops
- salt to taste
I added my left over canned clams with it's juice. The soup turned out wonderful and it tasted as good as I remembered.
Then to spice up our taste buds, I made sambal four angled beans.

plug in timer switch + more chinese soup
Ah.. I finally found this plug in timer at Ace hardware store for my weekly soup weeks ago.
I was having a hard time trying to figure how to set the timer and finally manage to get it work after a few test. All I had to do is rotate the dial to no 1 and just pull up the little plastic pieces from '1' onwards till '8'.
Ta dahh... 8 hrs of slow cooking and we have our soup...
2-3 soup weekly.....
Old cucumber soup with pork bone with dried scallops.
Wanted to add in the dried oysters but I ran out of it... Then after taking the first sip of the soup, I realize I could have added in some red dates and wolfberries that I've just stock up during the weekend. *slap on forehead*

DIY Siew Yok
I totally forgotten about my roast pork belly post.
My mom passed me a pack of seasoning and ask me to try out this easy peasy chinese roast pork belly. Rub some rough sea salt on the skin and season the rest of the meat with the seasoning for at least 8 hrs.
Then take out the sea salt out and grill it,
1st round, 2nd round, and after the 3rd round I manage to estimate the time for each size of the pork belly.
It turned out deli....ciouss...! It taste exactly like how it's suppose to taste like except it's juicier.
The only set back is that I was getting sick of the pork belly.
From the packaging, this seasoning is meant for chicken. Need to find some one who reads chinese and tell me how to use it for steam chicken.....

simple weekend lunch
Made dried noodles with stir fried beef on the weekend. On top of that, I couldn't help myself to make another round of herbal chicken since I have a quarter of chicken before I restock some fresh meat for the coming week.
This dried noodles recipe is really easy. Normally the 'mr' would whip this meal up when we're lazy to head out for lunch. Cook the noodles, chop some fresh shallots, add some pepper, cook garlic oil, a spoon full of oyster sauce and mix it all up.
This time around I made a stir fried beef to go with it.
Mix it up and you have a yummy fast lunch.
Plus my mouth watering herbal chicken that would keep me alert for the day.

stir fried pea shoots
Made stir fried pea shoots with garlic, prawns, wolfberries and dried oysters last week.
The wolfberries and dried oysters was an additional ingredients... I soaked both ingredients thinking that I was going to make soup.... my brain was not working well that evening.
So instead of wasting it, I added it to the pea shoots dish. :)

curry
Made Thai Curry dish during the weekend.
I had all the basic ingredients, and I wanted to use up the coconut milk that I bought weeks ago.
I was contemplating either Thai Curry or our normal Curry with coconut milk.
At the end, I decided to make Thai Curry.
I skipped a few ingredients and it turned out pretty ok. Well, at least the 'mr' said it was good.
I didn't have any tomato ketchup but I substitute it with a whole tomato. Same with the ground coriander, I replace it with fresh ones.
I wasn't too sure if the thai chili paste is the same as the thai chili sauce at that point of time. At the end, i found out it's different. LOL...
I was having trouble with the blender, at the end I didn't manage to blend the whole lot to a paste.
My patiences ran out, so I just fried the whole lot and added my veggies and fish in the end before serving.
Here's the recipe from thaifood.about.com

chickpeas
I've bought a can of chickpeas ages ago after the India trip. I wanted to recreate the chickpea salad that we had in India, but I couldn't find the recipe in the internet.
So I left it in the cabinet and totally forgotten about it until recently.
Since the 'mr' is still in the state of phobia with the Indian taste, I made the refreshing chickpea cold salad without the Indian spices.
Yummy...

chinese radish with pork bone soup
I've been browsing thru a lot of recipes and most of the recipes that look and sounds delicious
takes up 1-2 hrs of cooking time.
You see, I waste a lot time on the road. By the time I reach back home, it would be between 7.20pm (earliest) - 7.55pm (latest). I would be in a hungry mode by then and I don't want to waste another
1-2 hrs to braise or stew anything.
So I've been stir frying or sautéing veggies and meat.
(I intend to stew a dish or 2 during the weekend and keep it in the freezer for our weekday meals)
Being chinese, soup is a part of our daily food intake.
To cook a good soup, you need at least 3-4 hrs of cooking time. (which i do not have)
So I went to the oldest trick that I've known since young, cook it in the slow cooker.
What I did was, I dumped all the ingredients to the slow cooker before heading off to work.
Lucky me, I get off work a little bit early on Wednesdays and the 'Mr.", he gets off work super early on Fridays. Yay!!... warm yummy soup with 1 or 2 stir fried dishes depending on the time that we have and our level of 'hungry mode'.
Made our first soup with slow cooker....
White Chinese Radish with Pork Bone and Dried Oyster.
2 1/2 big bowl of water
1 large white chinese radish (cut to chucks)
5-6 dry oyster
1 large pork bone
I should blanch the pork bone before dumping it in the slow cooker to get a clearer soup, but because of the 'lack of time'. I skipped that process.
Because of that,.... the top layer was covers with pork fat and dark lumps of 'stuffs'
(which is the blood from what I found out).
Anyway, I don't think it's a big deal. All I had to do was just skimmed the top part away.
By the time I reach home, only 1-2 inch of the water level has evaporated. I was expecting the level of water to be reduce to half!...
So ever since the first successful attempt, I've been using the same amount of water for the other soup.
more soup to come...

dumplings + lost holiday
I hate being sick, especially during a long holiday.
chills, body ache, headache, fever, sore throat, cough... the whole package.
Just when I think I'm feeling better, I feel 'sickly' again...
Anyway during the long holiday, I was sick of feeling 'sickly'.
So I tried to mentally psycho myself by making some dumplings.
I can't remember where I got the recipe from, but most of the dumpling recipe is more or less the same.
After looking throu, I remembered that I got the recipe from Jennifer Yu. Love the way she writes and her photos are really inspiring.
I particularly enjoyed making the dumpling wrapper/skin in the beginning but as I was half way filling it up with the meat, my mental psycho power ran out and I was feeling all 'sickly' again.
At that point in time, I just wanted to finish wrapping it so I could eat my lunch and get back to bed to rest....
After boiling it.
It's been more then week now, and i'm still having the whole sick package.
It still doesn't want to go awayyyy...!!
Well, the bright side is that I haven't been coughing green phlegm since yesterday, it's just dry cough now..
*cough * cough * cough *

cny
The chinese new year celebration is almost half way through.
The past few weeks has been tiring. The accumulation of activities from weeks before till the 2nd day of CNY was a very good physical exercise.
Was suppose to join my parents and uncle for the chinese new year reunion dinner at a local restaurant in town. After some thoughts, I decided to cook at home.
Pass some invitations out and only my parents excepted it. less men more share then....
Started my food preparation 3 days before!!...
LOL..... Only for the sea cucumber.
Had to soak the dried sea cucumber days before it can be cook.
This little sea creatures double it's size from 2.5 inch to a 4.5 inch long spongy weird looking creature.
Before
After
I don't like how it looks but i love eating them, especially since I found out that sea cucumber help with thyroid cases as well.
All the dishes came out good. It wasn't perfect, but good.
• braised mushroom with sea cucumber, fish maw, abalone and gingko
• steam pomfret fish
• stir fried veg
• steam prawns with dong quai and wolf berries
• lotus pork bone soup

another year end?
I've meant to blog since ages ago but I was too distracted with other activities around me.
I finally got myself a compact camera to replace my old, dying faithful camera Canon A95.
Been cooking more this year. Been trying to bake with the small toaster over as well.
Can't wait to get my hands on an oven or a convection oven.
Guess with the lack of space and $$, I would be getting a convection oven.
This whole 2011 has been filled with ups and downs....
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
My dear old camera has served me well for the last 6-7 years... Yes! It was that long.
My very first camera and I've fully utilized it. It finally said goodbye at the beginning of this year.

Got myself a Canon S95 with some sponsor from KY. I was eyeing on the new S100 but at the end,
my emotional (impulsive buying + lack of patiences) got control of my brain.
I got persuaded by the sales guy and my patiences of waiting for the launch of S100 was running low.

My enthusiasm of using my own DSLR is extremely low this year. I think I'm hook to my department's DSLR. Who can blame me huh?
own = Canon 350D
office = Canon EOS 5D Mark2
like .... *duhhh*

This year, I got to experience cheap snow, green white mountains, hills and survive the COLDNESS at Manali, Himachal Pradesh. See the magnificent Taj Mahal, Agra and experience diarrhea at Delhi all in India. The whole journey was immortalize in a book.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Went au naturel in a pool. IT WAS NICE!. As usual I couldn't stand the cold and the weather was cold...
The sun did not come out as it should have!

After talking about it for years and delaying it due to timing and worrying about the effect on her after the operation. We finally brought Brandy (the dog) to spay. It's been 2 weeks now, and she's back to her old self.
In fact, she was back to own self on the 3rd day after the operation.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I've discovered natural ways to clean and scrub the house and myself. :)
I've been using all natural skin care product for a year now and I'm feeling good about it!
Even tried DIY my own shampoo.
Once a while, I would use the off the rack sheet mask.
That's when I realize that I would have break outs here and there the next day.
*need to pass the unopen sheet mask to friends*
The whole year has been filled with turmoil of emotions... good..... bad..... happy..... sad.....
There are times when my 'chill pill' works and there are times when it doesn't.
Am grateful for all the things that I have now and like people always say, there is always HOPE.
