Pineapple Fried Rice

先下蛋在鍋中，快凝固時加上分開的冷飯炒勻，再加入salt, pepper, pineapple,corn, sausage, carrot, or whatever you like.

BBQ Ribs

200F, 2.5 hours, brush favorite BBQ sauce several times on the rib during the baking process.

當歸土虱

Catfish + 當歸 +枸杞 + 薑+ 蔥 + 水 + 酒 + 煮熟 = 當歸土虱。。。。very yummy!

糖醋雞

My brother-in-law gave us a bag of Orange Chicken from Costco, but kids didn't like their orange sauce, so I made my own sweet & sour sauce with sugar, ketchup and a little bit of vinegar. I also added pepper, pineapple and carrots, maybe tomatoes? I don't really remember.

Breakfast toast

土司塗上奶油，鋪上蕃茄和ham, 烤箱400度烤大約5分鐘，就好了。成品應該是表面脆，下面軟。

花椒風雞

讀了蔡珠兒的紅燜廚娘文中的一道花椒風雞。一時興起，炒了花椒鹽來醃雞。光是那花椒鹽香都讓我流口水，做法簡單，有點類似西式的油封鴨。

做法；

1. 乾鍋炒花椒跟鹽
2. 將炒好的花椒鹽抹勻在帶骨的雞肉上。
3. 用保鮮膜包好，放入冷藏幾天。
4. 抖淨花椒，洗淨多餘的鹽，加點酒，放入蒸鍋。
5. 蒸好後，用手撕下肉。剩下的雞骨還可以拿來熬雞湯。

西式的油封鴨只用鹽醃肉，皮朝下的放冰箱脫水，取能進烤箱的鍋，放入肉跟醃過肉的油（任何由皆可，油之後還可以留起來再用）。入烤箱用低溫烤。

Fish

Fish is good, but I hated it when I was young. Now, I like it, and our whole family likes it.

I like the whole fish better than fillet, and catfish is one of our favorites ( in the picture, it was 吳郭魚）

Just use green onion, ginger, garlic, wine, soy sauce and water, sugar, cooked for around 20 minutes (depend on the size of the fish), it's not easy to fail. (Steam is good, too)

涼拌Yam Cake

I have no idea what "Yam Cake" is, but I like to use it for 涼拌菜。It's like 粉皮，but it's about 2 to 3 inches thick.

Cut yam cake ( I like to cook one minute in the boiling water), cucumber, and ham into thin strips and add whatever sauce that you like, and done!

綠瓜

In fact, I don't really know what 綠瓜 is. It's light green, 有點葫蘆形，大概跟下手臂一樣長。把子去掉，切條狀，加入 chicken broth, 炒一炒，燜一燜即可。 I like this 瓜的自然甜味。

Beer Cheese Bread

I made it based on the recipe from http://angelandtexas.blogspot.com/2007/10/blog-post_987.html

I used chopped american cheese instead of cheddar cheese ( I don't like cheddar, and my kids like American cheese better because it's not too strong), and I didn't put oregano, basil or chili.

啤酒香，cheese 香，麵香，又不用發半天或用麵包機，比一般麵包省時省電。

貴非所值 有機食品高營假象

貴非所值 有機食品高營假象
(星島)2009年8月27日 星期四 06:30
(綜合報道)
(星島日報 報道)近年，食物安全問題備受全球關注，《亞洲天然產品博覽2009》於今日開鑼（8月27日至29日），不含人工添加物的有機食品自然大受歡迎。然而，有關有機食品營養問題一直存在不少爭議。早前，英國 有研究報告指，有機與非有機食物的營養價值無重大差別，如此看來，在經濟不景情況下，消費者又是否值得花高幾倍價錢，購買有機食品？
　　文：Ann 部分圖片：星島圖片庫
　　非由種植法決定
　　在生產過程中，除不添加化肥、農藥外，及格認證的有機食品更不含荷爾蒙、雌激素、人造色素及不經基因改造，故不少人視有機食品為追求健康的飲食指標。養和醫院 註冊營養師余思行（右圖）則表示，從營養角度來看，健康飲食講求是否建立多元化模式，進食合適分量，從不同食物中攝取不同營養素，達到均衡飲食，不偏不多自然健康，「正如醫生、營養師亦不會特別建議癌症患者吃有機雞，皆因只要吃得太多動物性脂肪如雞皮，也會增加患癌機會，這和有機與否無關。其實只要懂得均衡飲食，吃非有機食物一樣可以好健康。」
　　較容易變壞
　　有機食品的好處大家聽得多，原來它們亦有不足之處。營養師指，就品質而言，鑑於生產過程無添加化肥、農藥等人工化學物，有機蔬果存放時間較短，較容易變壞、腐爛，不小心進食可致食物中毒。此外，有機蔬果品種外表有機會較一般品種細小、顏色較深，由於全經人手種植，形狀亦可能較怪異，令人難以接受。
　　難有明確保障
　　香港有機資源中心主任黃煥忠教授（右圖）稱，有機食品種類繁多，包括蔬果、乳製品、穀物及肉類等。現時歐美國 家對有機產品的生產，或運送過程經過嚴格監控，採用有機耕種是指不使用化學肥料、除草劑或添加任何人工化學物。然而，有機食品質素亦可以很參差，「泥土是否夠肥沃、肥料是否足夠，以及農民付出的心機等，均可影響食品質素及營養成分。如缺乏以上條件，即使採用有機方法種植，有機農作物的營養素亦可較非有機食品低，而這些因素實在難以檢測。」故此，有機食品究竟是否比非有機食物更有營養，現時實難以下定論。
　　不一定有更多營養
　　從營養角度，有機與非有機食物存在的差異有多少？有關有機食品的營養價值研究多不勝數，但至今還未有一致定論。世界衞生組織亦指出，有機食品不一定具更高營養價值。
　　早前，英國一份有機食品研究報告被刊登於《美國營養學會期刊》內，註冊營養師劉立儀（右圖）表示，「這期刊是權威性醫學文獻的代表，被刊登之報告均有一定參考價值。有關報告指，研究人員過往從一百六十二個研究中，抽出其中五十五個可信性最高的研究，再作詳細分析，發現有機食品與非有機食物無大差別。」她不反對消費者購買有機食品，但購買時應小心辨別有機認證標籤，如揀選有「USDA Organic」標記的有機產品才購買，以免浪費金錢又得不到應有保障。
　　維他命C含量成疑
　　部分實驗室研究曾指，有機食品的維他命C及抗氧化物含量較非有機食物高，但有關說法亦受到質疑。余思行解釋，「美國曾就有機食品維他命C的含量，進行了十三個研究，結果發現因有機食品種植時間較非有機食物長，水分含量較少、較輕身，故維他命C含量比例上提高了，但事實上有機與否的真正差別不大。」
　　含更高抗氧化物
　　余思行續稱，基於使用天然種植方法，的確可讓有機品種於生長過程釋放更多抗氧化物。不過，有關分量對人體健康影響如防癌功效，則仍有待實證。
　　她補充，其實所有蔬果均含有抗氧化物及維他命，只要增加進食分量，同樣可攝取到更多營養素，沒有大必要花高幾倍價錢購買有機食品。假如真的擔心殘餘農藥問題，進食前將蔬菜浸洗半至一小時，剝去蔬菜外皮才烹調，又或用刷子刷走水果皮上污迹，再沖洗乾淨進食已可。
　　■雞皮含高脂肪及荷爾蒙，最好避免進食。
　　■有機與非有機食物的味道是否有差別？這可謂因人而異。
　　■烹調前先浸洗蔬菜，有助清除殘餘農藥。

珍珠丸子

Ground pork 1/2 lb + little 蝦米 + little green onion + little 薑屑 + soy sauce.salt.pepper + 1/2 egg + 太白粉 + 3TBS water 拌勻。

糯米半杯洗凈泡半小時以上。肉丸沾上糯米，大火蒸20分。Can make around 20 珍珠丸子

Again, this was learned from 傅培梅食譜。

牛排沙拉

牛排醃一醃，煎一煎，鋪在生菜蕃茄上，再淋一點剛剛煎牛排跑出來的汁。

Something 炒蝦米

太久以前煮的（也不過就3個禮拜前嘛！），老人癡呆的我實在是想不起來當時是potato條還是用白蘿蔔條，因為我兩種好像都用過，應該都不錯。potato 條要先泡水，把澱粉洗掉，會比較脆。

錯用橄欖油 養生不成反傷身

錯用橄欖油 養生不成反傷身
2009-08-19 中國時報 【中央社】 　

蕭先生罹患高血壓10多年，平日飲食清淡，健檢發現抗氧化指標及血脂異常，原來家人天天拿不耐高溫的橄欖油來炒煮煎烤，結果吃進比回鍋炸油還糟的劣質油。 　聯欣診所院長林美秀今天指出，她原以為蕭先生吃得太油，蕭先生喊冤說自己30歲出頭就高血壓，而且馬上戒菸，經常運動，家裡油炸食物從不上桌，如今知道家人拿橄欖油來炒菜煎魚，不但糟蹋好油，還吃出問題。 　蕭太太在營養師建議下，改用發煙點216度的葡萄籽油來炒煮煎烤，發煙點約120度的特級冷壓橄欖油來涼拌食物或沾麵包，1個月之後，蕭先生的丙二醛（MDA）指數從2.2降到正常的1.1，幾個月之後，再降到0.54，三酸甘油酯檢查也正常。 　林美秀說，丙二醛指數是一種細胞抗氧化能力的指標，當人吃進太多回鍋油、油炸物等自由基，或經常曝曬在強烈紫外線、過量電磁波的環境中，丙二醛指數就會升高，此時身體可能未病，但已有血管硬化等警訊。 　她指出，日前麥當勞等速食炸油不合格事件沸沸揚揚，民眾以為減少外食就可避免，但是聯安預防醫學機構分析1342人的健檢報告，有7成的丙二醛指數偏高，他們常見的錯誤用油觀念就是錯用橄欖油，這是另一種「食」油危機。 　林美秀提醒，外食族在挑選食物時，以蒸、滷的菜色取代油炸品，居家烹調則依烹飪方式選擇不同油品，愛吃零食及甜點的民眾，少吃酥油或反式脂肪的餅乾糕點，可以羊羹、紅豆湯、蒸蛋糕等中式甜品代替。980819

回鍋肉

I followed 培梅飯盒菜 to make this.
豬肉煮熟切大薄片。甜麵醬，豆瓣醬，醬油，水，糖調勻備用。先炒肉片，再加入包心菜，豆腐干，紅椒同炒，並倒入醬料炒勻。

青菜

Sometimes, in order to make 青菜 more attractive, I will put some ham or 甜不辣 with it. Ha and Hee are not big fans of 青菜, but they don't refuse to eat it. I give them a little every day, so they get used to eating the vegetables.

夏日桃子義大利麵

昨天看了網上有的型男大主廚，有教做李子涼麵，用的是日本拉麵。家裡只有桃子跟義大利麵，就來個依樣畫葫蘆版。

做法；

1. 椰子油熱後，放半個切丁的桃子，蔥，跟一點番茄炒，等成泥狀，加入兩匙醬油，一匙糖，跟一小匙烏醋，讓醬汁稍滾，或入黑橄欖泥跟一點香油，離火備用。（如果家裡有果汁機，可以用打的，我家的壞掉，一直沒買，所以就用煮的）

2. 用滾水煮義大利麵，之後沖涼水。上面倒上其一的醬汁。

3.黃瓜切細絲，有雞蛋就弄個蛋絲（我家剛好沒有蛋，不過有很甜的有機玉米，就放玉米代替，味道顏色也很不錯），把剩下半個桃子跟番茄切小丁一起放到有醬的麵上即可。

成果還算不錯，來不及照相就被老公跟小卡吃光光。

 

串燒

Marinated beef, pork, chicken; mushroom, orange, and pinapple, or anything you can think of. 串起來烤一烤就行了。The good part of this dish is that when the kids eat one roll, they eat many different kinds of meats already.

Frozen "Yogurt"

I meant real yogurt, not frozen yogurt (like ice cream)

I put boxes of yogurt into the freezer for 2 hours, and it tasted good especially in a hot day like today. Good snack idea!

餛飩麵

I like 嘉嘉牌的餛飩。 餛飩煮好後，撈起，用同一鍋水煮麵。麵煮好，撈起沖涼，分入碗中。另一個小鍋用雞湯燒開，加入青菜，餛飩，蛋皮。餛飩湯加在麵上，再淋上一些海苔，就好了。

Pancake

I used pancake mix to make the pancakes, very easy, not complicated at all. The only thing is that I need to find a proper 湯匙 to put the mix into the pot. I found a good one, so every pancake can have the same size and shape for better presentation.

Lemon, Orange, Honey Juice

I used to make Lemon & Honey juice, but since one time, I added orange juice in, I loved it. Usually, I put one lemon, 2 or 3 oranges, good amount of honey and water. It is the drink that we always have in our fridge.

傷身！吃一碗泡麵 等於喝65c.c.醬油

TVBS 更新日期:2009/07/24 19:11 張倍綺

成人一天的鈉攝取量，建議2400毫克，換算一下，等於6公克的鹽，不過，台灣民眾「重鹹口味」，每天的平均攝取量是10到12克，已經是高鈉的飲食習慣了，您還要再吃泡麵嗎？消基會抽查之下發現，最「鹹」的泡麵，已經是建議量的1.8倍，光是吃一碗就遠超過一天的鈉攝取量，專家建議真的要吃，最好調味粉包減半，或者光吃麵不喝湯。

一匙鹽巴、兩匙鹽巴，一直加。TVBS記者張倍綺：「這樣剛剛好10克，等於台灣民眾每天的鈉攝取量，但光是吃這一碗泡麵，就已經超過了。」
您吃泡麵一定很少看外包裝吧，營養標示，鈉只有2272毫克而已嗎？整碗的重量可不只100克吧，換算過後，原來它的鈉高達4362毫克，是每天建議攝取量的1.8倍；到底有多鹹？吃掉這整碗滿漢大餐蔥燒牛肉麵，等於吞了10.9克的鹽巴，或者等於喝掉這杯65.4c.c.的醬油。

消基會秘書長吳家誠：「這個鈉含量過高，會傷害到我們的心臟，也會傷害到我們腎臟。」
真的不誇張！消基會隨機抽了12款泡麵，統一、唯力、味丹、味王等廠牌，鈉全都超標，這碗一度贊紅燒牛肉麵，鈉高達2780毫克，同樣吃一碗就過量，還有阿Q桶麵泡菜臭臭鍋，也有2428毫克的鈉。

消基會要求業者，在外包裝加註警告，其實，問題主要出在這個調味粉包，業者強調，已經註明要民眾「酌量使用」，什麼意思？營養師說，至少要減半！吃不慣淡口味嗎？再不然，剩下的麵湯不要喝，等於去掉了一半的鈉；畢竟一次吞這麼多的鹽巴，沒有狂灌水幫助排鈉，累積在體內，可是有害健康。

Pork Rib

This big plate of Pork Rib was just little over $4 when Lucky was on sale.

The main point of this entry is to introduce the sauce: Kinder's Mild BBQ Sauce. We got it from Costco as 2-pack package because Ha and Hee had to have it after they 試吃。It was good with beef, hamburger meat, pork or chicken. I usually used a little sauce to marinate the meat, and brushed it on the meat when I baked them in the oven, and kids like its taste very much. I like it, too.

Hidden Treasure - borwn rice

We all know that brown rice is good, and I tried to use it before, but it's not well accepted by Stephen and kids. My new method is to use white and brown rice, 3:1, and they haven't complained about it yet. (I have used it for few months.)

Udon Noodle

This was the only thing that my kids agreed to eat when they were sick these few weeks.

It's very easy to make: chicken broth, water, salt, carrots,甜不辣，大白菜，cook for a while and add in Udon noodles and cook for one more minute, and it's done!

Sometimes, I also add meat, 貢丸，cucumber, 蛋花，mushroom...., whatever I have in the fridge.

Hamburger

No photo, because I couldn't wait to taste it!

In the afternoon, I marinated the ground beef first using beer (not too much), bbq sauce, salt, pepper, onions cut into tiny small pieces and a little soy sauce. I left it in the fridge for about 2 hours.

Around dinner time, I patted the ground beef into round shape and grilled them. At the meantime, I grilled the buns for 1 or 2 minutes until they were soft but crisp.

Ha liked cheese burger, so I put the cheese in between bun and meat while they were still very hot. Hee didn't like melted cheese, so he got meat and bun, and he put the cheese in later by himself. I put tomato and lettuce into the bun with meat for Stepehen and me, and I thought that it tasted great.

貢丸絲瓜湯

絲瓜稍炒一下，加入貢丸，雞湯罐頭，蔥，水，和whatever調味you want, 煮一下就好了。 It's good to eat on hot summer days.

梅子粉

If the Apple is not very sweet, I will put some 梅子粉, and it tastes great. It also tastes great with peppers.

瓜甜不甜 外皮.蒂頭漏玄機

更新日期:2009/06/19 00:14




華視新聞前兩天教你如何用拍打的方式來挑選好吃的西瓜，今天再教您，其實從西瓜的外表就可以看得出來喔，選蒂頭捲曲，紋路整齊的就對了。　 　路邊一整車西瓜，到底哪一顆才是好瓜，賣西瓜三十幾年的陳先生，用看的就看得出來。西瓜底部的圈圈，越小越好，切開來看，果然，果肉又紅又紮實。相反 的，底部圈圈越大皮越厚越難吃，切開證實，不但不夠紅，還帶點白白的肉，明顯甜度大扣分。除了看西瓜底，也要看西瓜頭，就是所謂的蒂頭，如果是直直的一條 線，不要，如果是捲曲圈起來的，馬上買。還有西瓜紋路和顏色，紋路整齊就是好瓜，如果花紋亂七八糟，裡面肯定也是一團糟，顏色呢，最好挑青綠色，不要拿霧 霧白白的瓜，掌握瓜頭捲，瓜尾小，瓜紋正，和瓜色綠這四大原則，保證你用看的就能買到滿意的瓜。（記者廖學賢、吳昭君、楊宗穎報導）

涼拌海帶

Last time, I cooked 海帶湯，but it's not highly acceptable to the kids. Then, I tried 涼拌海帶, and kids like it much better.

泡軟，煮一下，切絲， 用醬油，麻油，糖，蒜，一點醋拌一拌就好了。

自製簡易素高湯

這是我看農場的每週一報學來的，成品比外面買的還健康好吃。

把平常切下的蔬菜根，不要的葉子（連沙拉最外面不要的葉子都可以），根莖葉的頭跟尾，放到冷凍庫冰，等一星期到了或是積到一包，就拿出來準備來煮高湯。如果有fennel上面不要的葉子也可以一起放進去。我的做法是沒有鹽的，如果你放鹽也行，不過最好最後放。做法超簡單的，一大鍋水，把所有的切剩的材料放進去，加上胡椒粒，一片bay leaf，半棵大蒜，一起煮到天荒地老，等湯汁變成茶色，之後過濾掉所有菜葉。等湯冷後，分別放入盒中進冰凍庫。最好的容器是製冰盒，不過我家沒有，我就用玻璃或者不要的豆腐盒。

韭菜豆腐干炒肉絲

韭菜was very cheap in Spring, so I like to cook this dish. (just adding a little soy sauce and sugar as 調味）

海帶

I cooked Seaweed Soup very often when we lived in Milpitas; however, after we moved here, I almost never cooked it because I just totally forgot about it.

海帶泡軟，與排骨，薑，蔥同煮湯 is good. Kids didn't like it very much because it didn't have too much flavor, but Stephen likes it. I'll try to 涼拌 or 紅燒with 小排骨; hopefully, it will be more acceptable to kids.

6/9/09 -- 韓國炒粉絲

日前應邀到好友W.L.家參加她女兒的生日會。她做了一道韓國粉絲，好特別、好好吃。立即跟她要了食譜，自己也來做做看。成品很成功，柔柔不停讚許。

使用的粉絲是紅薯粉絲(Sweet Potato Vermicelli), 韓國和中國超市均有。

作法：

-- 將牛肉(sirloin steak)切條並調味，醃三十分鐘。

-- 將紅薯粉絲在沸水煮約五分鐘至軟，過冷水後瀝乾。

-- 炒牛肉至變色，加入香菇絲、紅蘿蔔細條和洋蔥絲炒兩分鐘，然後加入切好(約兩吋長)的菠菜一起炒至菠菜熟。

-- 加入紅薯粉絲，並以醬油、黑胡椒粉、鹽及麻油調味，炒一分鐘。

完成囉！

(註：我沒放牛肉及香菇，但不失美味。)

排骨新變化

I made the 12345排骨, but I gave it a little makeover: To add some carrots in when the 排骨 was almost ready, and 先燙青江菜，鋪在盤子裡肉下面, 菜會吸到一些肉汁，味道不錯。12345 排骨做法請看：http://happyfamilyandfriendskitchen.blogspot.com/2008/11/12345.html

Honey Mustard

I like honey mustard dressing very much, but I'm the only one who likes honey mustard in my house, but I still like it very much.

菜飯

先炒青江菜和香腸丁，然後加點鹽，加到白米裡加水煮熟。 I am thinking that if I add some chicken broth instead of water, will it be more flavorful?

I was surprised that Ha and Hee didn't complain about adding the green vege to the rice. They do eat green veges, but they are not their favorites.

苦瓜小魚

苦瓜去子切小片，燙一下。丁香魚干（鴻記的比較好）泡水。
加點蔥，醬油，糖，薑，炒一下就好了。

Kids ate fish, and adults ate bitter melon.

醃青蘿蔔

Long time ago, I heard people saying that eating the 醃青蘿蔔 and drinking its juice is good at minimizing the coughing, so I made it for Stephen because he coughed.

醃青蘿蔔was not using the salt; instead, it uses honey. Slicing 青蘿蔔 into small pieces, and marinating it with honey. It tasted 甜和辣。Adding some warm water to the juice and drinking it helps to minimize the coughing.

大雜燴

Carrots, mushroom, 甜豆，broccoli,中國香腸：都先燙過，再加一點鹽或醬油快炒一下。

花生嘛糬

I had some leftover "green letter"水磨糯米粉， but I was not good at wrapping the red bean paste in the 嘛糬, so I was lazy at making the 嘛糬. Finally, I got an idea. I got some 花生粉， so I made the 嘛糬 following the recipe. Instead of wrapping the bean paste inside, I dipped the 嘛糬 in the 花生粉 to make 花生嘛糬. It was good!

Banana Pudding Pie

現成的Pie皮，放上banana and instant pudding（follow instruction, need to add milk) (no sugar, no fat) 即可。

後來我又作一次，用graham cracker and butter 烤一下墊在下面當pie皮，然後鋪上banana 和instant vanila pudding 一層，banana 再一層，chocolate pudding 一層， 也不錯。

炸醬

豆腐干，青豆，香菇，肉，金針菇（kids like it, but I don't like it in this dish) 加上甜麵醬炒。小朋友喜歡用這個拌飯吃，可是我覺得跟我爸做的不像，所以後來去請教．

我爸意見：甜麵醬要加水；　甜麵醬要先爆香　（“炸”醬）；　加一點榨菜末。

加料蔥油餅

Regular 蔥油餅皮做法。 炒香蔥，韭菜，ham, 包進皮裡，壓一壓，醒一醒，桿一桿，煎一煎，就好了。我喜歡煮綠豆稀飯配餅。

Carrot Cake

參考http://www.euphocafe.com/recipe/recipe.asp?rid=362食譜， but I made some adjustments to fit our family's taste

I used mainly carrots, but I also added a little bit of red yam. It will be more moisturized after baking. I added half cup of sugar and oil instead of one cup.

It's a good idea to put cakes in the ice cream cup because it tasted better. 冰淇淋杯先烤一下比較香脆。

I made 16 mini ice cream cup cakes in the cones and 12 cup cakes with the ingredients listed before I went to the church to practice the songs on Sunday at 3:30pm. Kids and Stephen went to the church at 5pm. When we came home, I found that there were only 2 mini ice cream cup cakes left. Very popular and nutritious snack, and it's not hard to make at all!

大菇小菇炒一盤

顧名思義！

這是什麼？

I cooked this dish few weeks ago, and I hardly remembered it. When I saw the photo, I zoomed in and studied it for a while, but I still couldn't remember that I ever cooked tomato with mushroom before. Finally, I found that underneath the red and black topping, there's a piece of white fish fillet.
先煎魚片，再炒香菇番茄蔥，倒在魚片上即可。

櫻花蝦

Mom brought a bag of 櫻花蝦 from Taiwan, and I sprinkled it over the 炒青江菜， good!

炒玉米

Corn+ marinated ground pork + sliced mushroom + green onion + a little bit of soy sauce: 炒一炒，Done!

年糕甜湯

韓國年糕片加酒釀煮成甜湯，味道不錯。（我先燙年糕，撈起，過冷水，再加入已經煮好的酒釀甜湯裡。）

粉蒸排骨

碗最下面墊紅薯，上面放醃好，裹上蒸肉粉的排骨，（蒸肉粉要和排骨紅薯充份拌勻）蒸熟即可。

 

這個肉最佳醃法是用醬油膏加點辣豆瓣醬。

牛油果

This time, I tried to add some Avocado into the salad with lemon/honey dressing; however, Ha and Hee didn't like avocado at all. They were a little bit ok with guacamole, but not plain avocado.

Yogurt Cupcakes

A: 3/4 cups of milk; 1/4 cups of butter or vege oil; 2 eggs; 1 small container of strawberry yogurt

B: 2 cups of flour; 1/2 cups or less brown sugar; 2tsp baking soda;1/2tsp of salt

A mix; B mix, add B to A ......350 F, 20 minutes

I read few different recipes and combined them to get my own. Strawberry is in season right now, so we ate with whipped toppings and strawberries. Kids also put some sparkles on the cupcakes.

I also made a banana yogurt cake for our church's bakery sales and for our house. The one for our house was finished in one day. That one only needs little sugar because its sweetness came from 3 bananas and 2 cans of yogurt.

Strawberry Smoothie

Rinse Strawberry well and cut it into smaller pieces. Put them in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours.
Put them in the blander with little warm milk. When they defrost a little, add cold milk and honey. Bland well and pour into cups. Put the cups into the freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes. Enjoy with spoon.

綠豆蜂蜜西米露

這兩天天熱，打算今天做個中式甜湯。昨天晚上睡覺前先泡綠豆，早上起來加水再滾一下，等綠豆好了，趁著綠豆水滾著，放下兩三顆冰糖跟西米露，稍微滾一下，就加蓋悶。悶個兩三個小時，加入香甜的蜂蜜，噹噹噹，讓小卡一口氣喝下兩碗的綠豆蜂蜜西米露就好了。

瓜仔肉韭菜蛋

醬瓜一些切碎，和絞肉，蒜末用醬油，糖醃。加入韭菜末和蛋花，攪拌均勻，放一會。
用中大火煎兩面，都金黃就可以了。

Stephen不喜歡菜脯，要不然放菜脯instead of 醬瓜也可以。

烤pork rib

先把pork rib放袋子裡加喜歡的醬料放冰箱醃一天。上面刷一點烤肉醬（Hee 去McDonlds'的nugget，他不喜歡BBQ sauce，所以我留回家用）。 450F， 30分鐘。烤完再順長骨頭切開。Sometimes, Lucky or Safeway have different kinds of meat on sale, and it's cheaper and fresher to buy.

豆腐干炒肉片

醃好的肉片，金針菇，豆腐干 加蔥末，一點醬油，3分鐘上菜。

素咖哩

這禮拜收到的蔬菜很多是根莖類，剛好適合煮一鍋咖哩來暖暖胃。我是怪人，吃咖哩反而愛吃素的，因為如果雞肉買到不夠新鮮的，總有一種肉腥味，那可真會壞了一鍋咖哩。

個人偏愛重口味的咖哩，又香又濃，所以印度咖哩粉跟日式咖哩都會放。

做法；

• 放一塊奶油跟橄欖油（奶油對素咖哩很重要，所以一定要）放入洋蔥，大蒜跟大蔥(leek)炒香
  
• 加入一點印度咖哩粉一起炒香，加水或高湯（葷素皆可）。我覺得加了印度咖哩真的會香很多。
  
• 放入Turnips， Chantenay Carrots，Parsley Root，馬鈴薯 和 一小把Soup celery
  
• 煮到根莖類軟，加點鹽（可省），一點蜂蜜，日式咖哩塊跟一小塊苦巧克力，再用小火煮一下。
  

成果就是非常濃郁多層次的素咖哩。

甜菜根蔬菜義大利麵配葡萄柚百里香烤雞

今天胡亂試做新菜，沒想到竟然大成功，挑嘴小卡一口氣吃了兩盤。為了不讓有失憶症老婆忘記，趕快寫文留底，這樣以後要照本宣科才容易啊。

甜菜根蔬菜義大利麵

做法；把甜菜根切小塊放在高湯裡，加上一個star anis(這是網上教的，可以去土味），用中小火煮個三十到四十分鐘，之後放入小螺旋義大利麵跟一小塊奶油，等麵快好時，下蔬菜（我是用 Braising Mix）。

葡萄柚百里香烤雞

做法；雞胸肉先用清酒，百里香，些許橄欖油，鹽，白胡椒，少許醬油（這是我硬加的，我還是中國胃），一點蜂蜜，葡萄柚汁（越酸越好，不然用奇異果更棒，有軟化肉質的作用），先醃一天。

預熱烤箱350F，烤盤底放切片的Fennel，放上醃過的雞胸肉跟橄欖油（因為我是用沒皮沒骨的，如果用有皮有骨的，油可以省）再放點葡萄柚汁，烤到金黃（大概四十五分鐘）。

這些全部都可以放到烤箱保溫，所以不怕晚開飯。

4/8/09 -- 三杯雞

我的三杯雞作法超簡單。

先用麻油爆香蒜與雞腿肉同炒，之後酌量放入醬油、酒、水及少許糖悶煮。

等汁快收乾時，放入九層塔一起炒。

真是好吃的不得了！

I put 綠豆, 五轂米，薏仁，水，用蒸或燜燒鍋燜。
