粥、粥、粥！我的最愛！ 老實説來到這裏住都快把粥給遺忘了，因爲這裏沒有廣東人（這是事實嗎？），西方化的華人餐廳沒賣粥的。除了偶爾去唐人街吃點心時會點一小碗皮蛋粥過一過粥癮。 好久之前在唐人街的商店買了一盒皮蛋，放置一段時間（皮蛋有沒有臭掉的一天呢？還是永遠保存得好好地？），想説試下煮皮蛋粥吧。吃粥最主要的是粥要夠細綿，煮得稀爛才是王道。本來是要配炸花生的，基於懶的原因下就選用普通的花生。 **話説某天我回到家發現老公竟然獨自把粥給吃完了，我氣得哭了。我指控他怎麽有人可以獨吞全部，這麽大鍋粥我祗吃過一次而已。誰知道他捧腹大笑說從來沒看過爲了粥而哭的人。當時我真的很汗顔 (-｡-;)……我是認真的，鄭曜倫！** Ingredients 1 C uncooked Jasmine rice (any rice will do) 1 T olive oil pinch of salt 13 C water 12 oz mince ground beef 1 egg white 3 t water 2 t corn starch 2 t olive oil salt and pepper, to taste 2 t sesame oil 4 century eggs, chopped coarsely 3 green onions, chopped 1 T peanuts white pepper powder, to taste soy sauce, to taste Directions Wash the rice and drain off the water. Add the 1 T of oil and salt to the rice and let it sit for 20 minutes. Place a large pot with water on high heat. Once it started to boil, add in the rice and reduced the heat to medium. Continue to cook until the rice started thicken, which takes about 1 and half hour. Ma...

我說黃梨，曜倫說鳳梨，到底誰對誰錯？ 在老家，媽媽都會買一整顆鳳梨然後切塊放好在冰箱給我們吃。所以可以說我切鳳梨的經驗指數是一（呃，我好像有切過一顆，不過記憶告訴我不是很棒的經驗）。來到這裏沒有媽媽，也沒有路邊攤的水果檔口，要吃鳳梨就要自己來。Grocery shop有是有得賣切好的，價錢比較貴就是了。 如果你在巴西餐廳里吃Rodizio，大吃一頓豐盛的烤肉后，最後侍者必定端出烤得熱乎乎香甜的鳳梨。鳳梨的外表被一層cinnamon裹住，吃起來很是舒服。這樣的吃法對於我來說是很新鮮。 除了烤好直接吃，也可以加上冰淇淋（我用椰子口味的冰淇淋），一冷一熱，非常棒的結合！ Ingredients 1 pineapple, cut 2 T brown sugar 1 T vegetable oil 1/2 t cinnamon Directions Preheat oven to 450 degree. Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil. Toss together pineapple, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Place them on the sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes, until golden. Enjoy!

What can you do with canned tuna other than used them as tuna sandwich? I like this idea of making tuna into a patty and fried them. 3 cans of tuna make 11 patties. I serve them as a side with a salad. They're pretty delicious with the taste of fish sauce. You can also double the recipe and make a bunch of them and eat it as main dish. Ingredients 3 cans 6 oz white tuna, drained 1 jalapeno, sliced 5 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 t grated fresh ginger 3 green onions, chopped 1 bunch of cilantro, finely chopped 1 1/2 T fish sauce 1 T Siracha 2 eggs 4 T oil for frying Directions Drained 3 cans of tuna and put it in a mixing bowl. Add in sliced jalapeno, garlic, ginger, green onions, and cilantro. Then drizzle with fish sauce and Siracha (you can adjust the measure of Siracha depends on your likeness of spicy). Use a fork to mix till there is no visible big chunk of tuna. In another small bowl, whisk the 2 eggs and add it to the tuna. Mix it all well. Scooped the t...

I haven't have cold pasta for a long time. Can't even recall when I had it. The thing with cold pasta is you can eat them straight out the fridge without having to reheat them. That's the perk. This is quite a quick recipe for cold pasta. It can be prepare within 15 minutes time. Suitable for a quick lunch or weekday dinner. The balsamic vinegar and basil really do add flavor to the pasta. Ingredients 1 lb farfalle pasta 1/2 pint grape tomatoes, cut into half 1 can sliced black olive 2 oz feta cheese 8 basil leaves, finely chop 1/4 C balsamic vinegar 1/2 t dried oregano salt and pepper, to taste Directions Cook the pasta according to directions. Cut tomatoes, black olives in the meantime. Drain the pasta and let it cool down by running under cold water before adding other ingredients. Mix in the pasta with tomatoes, black olives, feta cheese, basil leaves, balsamic vinegar, and dried oregano. You can add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

中午臨上班前把豬肉放入慢鍋里悶煮七到八小時，晚上回到家傳來陣陣香味。當下嘗到熱乎乎的湯頭立刻帶我進入熟悉的唐人街，極具華人口味的湯頭。一顆半熟蛋和麵的搭配簡直是畫龍點睛，每次都要留到最後快吃完才把它給吞下，是我最愛的環節。 Ingredients 3 lbs pork shoulder roast 4 C reduced sodium chicken broth 1/4 C soy sauce 1/4 C rice vinegar 2 T fish sauc 2 T Thai red curry paste 1 T fresh ginger 1 T Siracha juice of 1 lemon 1 T Chinese five spice 1 t black pepper 2 T sesame oil 1/4 C brown sugar 2 C sliced baby belle mushrooms 1 pack of Udon noodles 4 soft boiled eggs, for serving sliced jalapeno, cilantro, green onion, for serving Directions Add the pork to slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and fish sauce over the pork. Add the curry paste, ginger, Siracha, juice of 1 lemon, Chinese five spice, black pepper, and brown sugar. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours. Remove the pork from slow cooker and add the mushrooms. Cover the slow cooker and turn the heat up to high. Lightly shred the pork with fork or hands. Heat a large skillet ove...

星期五是春天的第一天，照理來説是春風來迎接我們，結果反而是一場雪。幸虧這場雪是濕的，不至於像氣象報道那樣説的三到五寸厚。 Asparagus（蘆筍）屬於春天的產品，已經可以在市場上看見它們的蹤影。吃蘆筍能把一絲春天的氣息帶進家嗎？ 這個食譜亦算簡單料理，主要把cream cheese、heavy cream、milk、feta cheese煮融化后，和一和pasta和蘆筍就可以端上餐桌了。聽起來很重奶味，檸檬汁卻能令這cheesy的料理變得輕一點。 Ingredients 1 lb spaghetti 1 large bunch asparagus, ends trimmed 1 T olive oil salt and pepper, to taste 2 T unsalted butter 8 oz cream cheese 1 C heavy cream 2 C milk 8 oz feta cheese 1/4 C lemon juice pinch of crushed red pepper 1/4 C flat leaf parsley Directions To roast the asparagus Preheat oven to 400 degree. Place the trimmed asparagus on baking sheet and toss with 1 T olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until tender and crisp. Remove and chop into thirds. At the same time, cook spaghetti according to instructions. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat, add butter, cream cheese, milk, heavy cream, and feta cheese. Bring to a boil and simmer until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes. Add the lem...

Yesterday I came home around 8.40 pm and was so cold. My hand and feet were freezing cold. Hey, isn't tomorrow suppose to be the first day of Spring? Then why do we still get snow? People in NEPA have enough of this miserable weather. Got the ground beef out from the fridge and I'm ready to cook.  Damn Delicious®  has a lot of simple yet delicious recipes. I found this recipe good for a busy weekday. Pasta and everything else cook in one pot for less than 30 minutes? Count me in! Who's ready for some cheesy, warm casserole for this winter? Ingredients 1 T olive oil 1 1/2 lbs ground beef 1 onion, diced salt and pepper to taste 28 oz diced tomatoes 8 oz tomato sauce 2 C chicken broth 1/4 C ketchup 2 t dijon mustard 1 lb rotini pasta 2 C shredded cheddar cheese 1 roma tomato 2 green onion, sliced Directions Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium high heat. Add ground beef and onion to cook until beef has browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Make s...

I have no idea what's Mexican pizza would taste like. I used enchilada sauce, taco seasoning, and lots of hot sauce on the pizza. Does that make it Mexican way? This is a quick and easy lunch for Tuesday. Was suppose to top it with chicken but we had them yesterday with Korean instant noodles. Hence just a vegetarian style pizza. I love the runny egg yolk. Can't wait to take a bit when they just fresh out the oven. Beware, they're hot! The recipe makes 4 servings. 2 for me and 2 for the busy man. Ingredients  4 fajita tortillas 3 beefsteak tomatoes 3 green onions 4 T enchilada sauce 4 eggs hot sauce 4 t taco seasoning Mexican cheese Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degree. Dice tomatoes. Slice green onions. Set them aside. Place 2 tortillas on baking sheets. Pour enchilada sauce on top of each tortilla and spread around. Add the tomatoes on top of the sauce. Carefully crack an egg in the middle. Add some hot sauce, taco seasoning, and green onion...

I always wanted to try this easy basic breakfast muffins. As long as you know the basic, you can always spice things up by adding banana chocolate chips, oatmeal raisin or cinnamon sugar to the batter.  I still have some strawberries left in the fridge. Might as well put them into the batter and bake a dozen of strawberry breakfast muffins. The muffins turned out to be nutty, light and not very sweet. Ingredients 2 C flour 1 T baking powder 1/4 C sugar 3/4 t salt 2 eggs 1 C milk 1/2 C canola oil 1 1/2 t vanilla extract 1 C strawberries rolled oatmeal Directions Preheat oven to 400 F. Line muffin cups with paper liners. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a large bowl, beat eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla for 1 minute. Add flour mixture. Beat just until no streaks of flour remain - do not overmix! Stir strawberries into batter. Spoon batter into muffin cups. Sprinkle some oatmeal. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until tops of...

昨天家裏的冰箱壞了，沒冷氣。幸虧現在是冬天，可以把食物拿出去放，不必擔心會壞掉。我衹怕有動物聞到食物的味道而把我辛辛苦苦煮好的肉類給偷吃掉。 清理冰箱時發現還有一把上星期買的kale還沒有吃，想説拿來做時下流行的kale chips就好了。這食譜的用料和方法都非常簡單，而且烤好的kale完全不輸給potato chips。Kale chips十分爽脆，我敢保證不到5分鐘就可以吃完整盤烤好的。 Ingredients 1 large bunch of kale 3-4 t extra virgin olive oil several pinches of sea salt Directions Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut stems off of kale leaves. Tear leaves into large pieces, discarding the thick central vein of each leaf. Wash leaves (ideally) in the basket of a salad spinner and spin dry. Since I don't have one, I dry them with a cloth. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place washed and dried leaves onto the baking sheet. It will seem like there's a lot of kale, and that's fine - it will wilt down considerably during its magical transformation into chips. Drizzle olive oil over kale and sprinkle evenly with salt. Use hands or tongs to turn kale a few times, ensuring it is evenly covered in ...

我深深瞭解，我和他是不可能的。 尤其是這段黃金時間內，我壓根不想念起他的好。他卻仿佛曉得我內心的秘密般，悄悄地不留痕跡地偷偷溜進我的腦海裏。 “看我一眼吧，一眼就好了。請相信我，”他苦苦央求。 好吧，看在你曾經讓我心情獲得十足滿足的份上，再給你一次機會。看你這次怎麼討好我？ 我只能說：我的選擇是對的！他，確確實實滿足我的胃口。 他就是這次的主角：完美無缺的chocolate chips cookies！ 我覺得最大的成功點是將10湯匙的牛油先用平底鍋融化，再煮個兩三分鐘，讓它變得更金黃香。曲奇週邊烤得香脆，中間鬆軟可口。從烤箱拿出來時吃了一塊接一塊，無法制止。厚，老娘告訴你，這14湯匙牛油不是白加的。偶爾吃些足以爆血管的曲奇不過分吧？*轉手指* Ingredients 1 3/4 C all purpose flour 1/2 t baking soda 14 T unsalted butter 1/2 C granulated sugar 3/4 C packed dark brown sugar 1 t salt 2 t vanilla extract 1 large egg 1 large egg yolk 1 1/4 C semisweet chocolate chips Directions Heat oven to 375 degree. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk flour and baking soda together in medium bowl. Set aside. Heat 10 T butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until melted, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking, swirling pan constantly until butter is dark golden brown and has nutty aroma, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and transfer browned but...

I baked 2 batches of this, one with chocolate chips, one without (all because ran out of it) and salty. These cookies are soft and unsweetened like regular cookies.  Would definitely make another nut-free version. Ingredients 2 medium ripe bananas 2 flax eggs (2 T flaxseed + 5 T water) 1/2 C salted peanut butter (crunchy or smooth) 2 T refined coconut oil, melted (or canola oil) 1 t vanilla extract 3 T agave nectar (or sub maple syrup, or honey if not vegan) 1 1/2 C gluten free rolled oats 1/2 C oat flour 1/2 C almond meal  1/2 t baking soda 1/2 t baking powder Pinch of sea salt (add more or less depending on saltiness of your PB) 3 T raw walnuts, lightly crushed (or sub other nut) 1/2 C semisweet or dark chocolate chips Directions Preheat oven to 350 degree. In a large bowl combine flax seed and water and let rest for 5 minutes to achieve "eggy" texture. Mash in bananas until well combined, and then add peanut butter...
