Chicken and Rice dinner

Noodles and Fish Balls

My Homemade Kimchi

I had been thinking about putting out this recipe for almost a year. Here it is now:

Ingredients: Salted water (1 part of sea salt, 10 parts of water), napa/Chinese Cabbage (2 heads ; cut and soaked in salted water for 8 hours, rinsed), 6-8 green onions (cut), red peppers powder (3tbs spoons), sugar (1tbsp), Korean fish sauce (3tbsp.), 5 cloves of garlic (minced), 1-1.5 tbsp. minced ginger
Direction: (1) Mix peppers powder + sugar + fish sauce to form pepper sauce, sit it for 3 hours; (2) Mix (1) with all other ingredients together and you have Kimchi, put it in a air-tight container/ziploc bag/jar, put in the refrigerator, and serve cold (best taste after 3 weeks).

Salad Special

Ingredients: Tomato, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers (peeled), Japanese cucumbers, dried mint, olive oil, salt, blue/goat cheese

Umm..I smell spare ribs.... :)

Onion spare ribs in lunch!

Chicken and Fish Creations

Chicken Fillets were marinated and coated with eggs and flour. They were then pan-fried.






In this one I use salmon fish.

Light Summer Bento

This summer lunch has rice balls, rolled egg, squids, and cherry tomatoes.

Napa Cabbage garnished with Korean Kimchi

This is a very light dish. My Kimchi was a little bit too spicy, so I used it to garnish my boiled napa cabbage - a great side dish :)

Lunch with Fish Filet and Korean Beef

In this lunch we have Korean-style stir fry beef. Fish filet, rice (topped with Japanese rice seasoning), and asparagus.

Steamed Tench Fish

One of my favorite dish: steamed fish with ginger, green onion, and a bit of olive oil. Soy sauce can be added when served.

Yesterday Dinner

I am back. For those who know me would have known that my hubby and I have relocated to Asia during the pass couple months. From now on we will have even more pictures of Asian foods (click on the pictures to see a bigger view)!

I cooked a two person meal yesterday.

Chicken cooked with mushroom in a pot.

Pan-fried Chinese red-snapper.

Boiled Choi-sum

Smily Pork Chop Lunchbox

  

Colorful Riceballs

More colorful rice balls...they look cute!

A Great Bowl of Soup

Sometimes, after all the heavy meals, a bowl of soup comes in time for a light dinner :) In this soup: chicken broth, potatos, onions, mushrooms, assorted vegetables, and a little bit of curry powder and coconut milk.

Steamed Catfish

Here is my steamed catfish with black bean garlic sauce. A word about black bean garlic sauce is that it is often used with seafood, pork, and chichen, but not usually with beef.

Ha! Another lunchbox is hence made :) !

Ma and Pop Stir Fry

No secret, just a simple stir-fry of whatever in my refrigerator :).

Chinese Style Baked Chicken

This is a homemade dish that you won't usually find in Chinese resturants. It is a chicken dish cooked with dried mushrooms, dried lily buds, and dried "cloud ear" mushrooms. The chicken was first seasoned with typical seasoning such as soy sauce, salt, sugar, cooking wine (and perhaps sometimes osyter sauce). It is then mixed with other ingredents and is steamed in high heat. However, you can also put it in an oven preheated as 450 F, and then baked at 350 F until cooked. It has an excellent unique taste.

This dish is usually served with rice, but of course, you can pretty much served it with anything you like :)

Want fish?

Why not!


It is easy to fix, healthy, and with great taste :) !
