善 <-------------- assertive --------------> 惡

Kind yet being firm. To be firm is to be certain, definite, and determined. It is also being loving, kind and calm.

粟米龍脷柳 Fish Fillet with Cream Corn


粟米龍脷夠香口又啖啖肉, 大小朋友都好鍾意食! 不過就比較麻煩, 因為要沾蛋汁又要煎煎炸. 我都好怕係屋企煎野同炸野, 一黎怕佢肥膩, 二黎怕成間屋都油煙味. 就算開左抽油煙機, 都一定要開窗通下風, 仲要記得關房門呀, 雖然間房喺二樓! ;P

間唔中整下都幾 OK.. 我嘅做法係喺蛋汁度加左七味唐からし同埋蒜蓉芫茜粉, 香口惹味 d 同埋癖咁 d 鯹. 最正係個汁, 最好同個龍脷柳分開上, 食嗰陣先畢 d 汁喺面, 咁樣送飯一流. 粟米汁又甜又滑又有蛋香呢!

材料:
龍脷柳半包、粟米蓉一罐、雞蛋兩隻、生粉半杯、雞湯兩湯匙、鹽、胡椒粉、七味唐からし、蒜蓉芫茜粉各少許

做法:
1. 龍脷柳解凍, 切件洗淨, 用 paper towel 印乾水份, 塗抹少許鹽、胡椒粉於龍脷柳上, 備用。
2. 生粉放碟備用; 雞蛋一隻先打匀, 加入少許七味唐からし、蒜蓉芫茜粉拌勻放平底碗備用。
3. 熱鑊落油, 比平時多少少油, 龍脷柳沾上蛋汁, 再撲上生粉, 逐一落鑊半煎炸至金黃, 兜起。
4. 粟米蓉放細煲內加雞湯煮滾, 加入另一隻雞蛋攪拌成蛋花, 加少許鹽打薄芡搞掂。

備註:
- 煎時唔好反太多次, 每塊最多反三次好喇, 睇實個火就 OK, 如果唔係 d 魚塊好易散.
- 油要夠熱同埋唔好同一時間放好多塊落鑊, 如果唔係 d 油嘅溫度急降, d 魚塊就會好吸油.

Strawberry Cheesecake Bar


時間用在那裡, 看得見。 心機花在那裡, 也看得到。 有時, 為了一份愛而付出, 也是值得的。 有能力地去付出, 是一種福氣。 因為, 還擁有。 擁有得能給點別人的份量。 你, 最喜歡數算的是什麼? 是在海邊散步時抬頭望見天上的星星? 是睡不著時合上眼意圖看見再多的綿羊? 還是似看還看的雞毛蒜皮芝麻綠豆? 相信, 最令人值得數算的, 不是星星, 不是綿羊, 更加不是芝麻綠豆; 而是恩典。 當能做到為凡事而感恩的時候, 也許便沒有空間再去埋怨了。 只因, 空間有限。

甜、酸、苦、辣, 如果有得選擇, 你會選哪一樣呢?

Ingredients:
8 oz cream cheese
1/3 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup sour cream
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoon strawberry jam
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs

Directions:
* In a bowl, melt butter in microwave. Mix in graham cracker crumbs.
* Press graham crumb mixture firmly onto bottom of pan. Bake for 5 minutes in 350˚F preheated oven. Let cool.
* In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy.
* Gradually beat in sour cream, whipping cream, vanilla extract and lemon juice; mix well.
* Add egg, sift in flour; beat on low just till combined (Do not over mix).
* Pour mixture into prepared pan. Drop in strawberry jam by spoonfuls over batter. With a toothpick, run through top layer to gently swirl around the strawberry jam.
* Reduce oven temperature to 320˚F, bake for about 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edge of pan to loosen. Cool completely, refrigerate overnight. Serve with strawberries and whipped cream.

Notes:
- Pre-baked graham cracker crumb mixture will give you a crunchier crust.
- All ingredients should be in room temperature before combine together.
- Do not over mix cream cheese mixture or it will cause cracking. You can use a water bath to create a moist environment for the baking process as well.
- Loosely cover cheesecake with aluminum foil paper for the last 10 minutes baking of cheesecake, it can prevent the top to brown and dry too fast.
- You can puree frozen strawberries in a blender, cook and stir in a sauce pan with a teaspoon of cornstarch till thickened to make the strawberry sauce instead of the jam. Even better!

鰻魚飯 Unagi-don うなぎどん



在家焗鰻魚, 當然沒有蓬萊軒炭燒的好吃(不能比較吧~). 但也大概可以滿足一些情意結. 就是簡單一餐, 買經已處理好的 frozen 鰻魚解凍, 再放焗爐焗大約 18分鐘左右, 加一些鰻魚醬料, 方便快捷. 有心思的話還可以煎薄薄蛋片, 切成絲, 放飯中一起吃. Oishikatta desu!

正在掛念名古屋蓬萊軒無敵激好味的 ひつまぶし鰻魚飯定食. 它, 是一道在名古屋非吃不可的東西. 它, 好味的程度勘稱: 若沒有吃過蓬萊軒的鰻魚飯,別說吃過鰻魚飯. XD

還記得由東京坐新幹線到名古屋看 Smap 演唱會, 再去蓬萊軒吃非一般的鰻魚飯, 教人一直念念不忘. 在日本坐新幹線過省不便宜, 計劃好, 可以預早買張 JR pass, 就比較化算. 由東京坐新幹線到名古屋差不多一個多小時. 還算不錯啦~

我要再去名古屋.

Steel cut oatmeal with egg white, banana and brown sugar



Oatmeal is good for you, I think we all know that. However, I'm not a fan of instant, quick 1-minute, nor old-fashioned rolled oatmeal like the Quakers you usually find on the shelves in grocery stores. If you dislike rolled oatmeal like I do, you WILL like steel cut oatmeal! After my first try of steel cut oatmeal awhile ago at Jamba Juice when they had a promotion introducing the new slow cook oatmeal on the menu, I fell in love at first bite. XD It got a chewy, dense, al dente texture and a nutty taste which rolled oatmeal does not have. It is full of flavor itself and I found it is best served with sliced banana and brown sugar on top. Eat it fairly hot and consume before the sugar is completely melted. That's the oatmeal you would call Breakfast!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup steel cut oats
2 cups of water
1 egg white

Directions:
* Bring water to a boil, stir in oats.
* Simmer uncovered over low heat for 25 minutes. Stir occasionally.
* Stir in egg white, gently mix together. Cook for one minute.
* Turn off heat and put lid on. Let stand for 10 minutes.
* Sprinkle brown sugar on top and serve with sliced banana.

It is worth the time cooking and it tastes even better the next day. Put the cooked oatmeal in a bowl and just place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the oatmeal. Reheat it in microwave in the morning, then add banana and brown sugar. Vio-la!~

日本抺茶豆腐布丁 Matcha Tofu Jello (Japanese Style Pudding)


喜歡日本。 懷念在日本生活的日子。
最深刻的, 是從大小的人和事裡, 感受那份細緻與嚴緊, 禮與誠並存的文化。 美輪美奐的包裝設計, 學到的已吸收了, 在消化了之後, 長存在健忘的骨子裡, 一再奢望可以再到日本住三頭半個月。 奢望, 是不踏實的源頭。 去年回港, 有幸在東京停站, 逗留了數天, 有機會和以前實習時的老板和同事相見, 一起回顧往事, 原來轉眼, 已經幾個年頭了。 奢望, 是不甘心的終結。這趟一行, 把現實拉近了一點。懷念, 永遠是美好的。若有值得令人懷念的東西, 也是因為曾經擁有或經歷過, 那就好好把它放回屬於它的地方吧!

今次弄了和風布丁, 健康清新。用豆腐製成甜品, 質感獨特, 滑而不漏, 是近期榜上有名的甜品!

材料:
抺茶粉 8 茶匙、豆腐 400 克、砂糖 6 湯匙、脫脂奶 500ml、淡忌廉 200ml、魚膠粉 5 茶匙、水 4 湯匙

1. 抺茶粉、豆腐用攪拌機打成漿, 倒入大碗。

4. 將忌廉牛奶慢慢加入抺茶豆腐中攪匀。
5. 加入魚膠粉水, 拌匀, 隔去面頭的泡泡。
6. 放入甜品杯放雪櫃雪至凝固, 即成。
