茉莉綠茶手工面Jasmine Green Tea Handmade noodles

茉莉綠茶手工面Jasmine Green Tea Handmade noodles(1)

身體不舒服, 吃了兩天稀飯, 突然想吃麵, 想做麵, 第二次做手工面, 看起來還不賴吧! 不曉得是不是很累, 從煮湯底, 到把麵做好, 做了好久, 結果湯汁都熬到快沒了, 面湯不夠濃, 還好綠茶茶葉蛋嚕得很入味. 

I was not feeling well. After eating porridge for two days, I felt like to have noodles and would like to make some. This was my second try for handmade noodles, looked nice? From preparing the soup till the noodles was ready, it took a lot of time, extremely tired at last. The brewed tea eggs are nice but the soup is not thick enough.

剩下的麵糰放冰箱, 有人說要吃板面, 正好, 就拿來煮板面, 這回湯底夠味了, 面也好吃 :)

I kept the rest of the dough into fridge. One day, someone requested for wide noodles. I  used the dough to make wide noodles. The noodles tastes good and the soup is nicer too.

恬院咖哩雞Garden chicken curry

今天的咖哩雞就這麼煮, 沒放椰漿, 也沒放牛奶, 清清淡淡又很香, 加上院子裡種的咖哩葉, 心裡想這樣會不會帶有一點葡式呢? 可, 這是我自己的食譜喔. 我也忘了自己有沒有吃果葡式咖哩 :P
從院裡帶來的香氣, 那就叫恬園咖哩雞吧!

Curry chicken without coconut milk or cow milk. It's light and full with fragrance. I added some curry leaves planted in my garden. First I thought, it looked like portuguese curry but it's my own recipe should be my style. Anyway, I don't remember I have eaten portuguese curry before, do I???
Since the fragrance is from my garden, I should name it "Garden Curry Chicken".

恬院九層塔豆腐雞Noryayard Basil Doufu Chicken

院子的九層塔長了, 我是客家人, 長輩都稱他為"金不換", 我都唸成"金谷飯", 因為從小就不知道他的中文名為何, 也是從網上搜的. 他的香氣, 我稱他為主觀氣味, 因為不是人人都喜歡而且很兩極化. 在我們的料理力很少有加九層塔, 我大概想了一下, ㄟ, 也挺不錯的, 味道也不會很突兀

The Basil has strong fragrance which I call it "subjective flavor". People will hate it or love it. I can hardly remember that which cuisine in my family has used it. I had to think before cooking. Hmm ..just nice to eat and the flavor of basil is not too strong to upset you :)

1/1手作全麥椰絲麵包Handmade Whole Wheat Coconut Bun

手雖然還沒好, 肩膀痛也沒好, 又忍不住做了麵包, 沒有找到椰絲麵包的食譜, 只好自己想了.
麵糰打得不錯,  用手打的喔,  椰絲內餡也很香.

My hands haven't recovered yet and I have frozen shoulder on the left. I couldn't wait and started to make some buns. I found not recipe of coconut bread, so I had to make my own recipe. The dough was kneading quiet well. Yes, hands kneading. The grated coconut filing is full of  fragrant and tasteful :)

糙米香雞壽司, 雞蛋壽司 Brown Rice Chicken Sushi, Egg Sushi

今晚吃什麼?

糙米香雞壽司, 雞蛋壽司. 紅豆湯, 還給不吃壽司的人, 準備了炒飯.

忙了半天只為一餐, 好累, 算了, 英文翻譯就免了...

家裡沒日本珍珠米, 就地取材, 用了本地糙米, 內餡也是自創的, 想不到雞蛋壽司超出想香的好吃. 覺得, 壽司有點乾, 煮了紅豆湯甜品, 果然大受歡迎 :)

夜了, 長話短說

祝大家周末愉快 ^_^

晚安 Zzzzz

鹽酥雞Salt Crispy Fried Chicken

今晚吃什麼? 

蔬菜, 鹽酥雞, 海帶湯

清炒蔬菜, 台式鹽酥雞, 外祖母海帶湯

鹽酥雞, 少了一些材料, 不過, 還是一級棒, 我沒有放很多鹽, 其實不該叫鹽酥雞, 應該是香酥雞吧!

煮了小時候外婆常煮的海帶湯, 不是台式, 日式, 韓式, 就只是外婆的方式, 我其實也沒有食譜, 憑喝過的味道, 去留住心愛外婆的記憶

What for dinner?

Vegetable, Salt Crispy Fried Chicken,  Seaweed Soup

Pan fried vegetable, Taiwan Style Salt Crispy Fried Chicken, Grandma Seaweed Soup

Salt Crispy Chicken, I missed out some ingredients but still delicious. I didn't add much salt, less than half tea spoon. I think I shouldn't call it Salt Crispy Chicken. It's just the fragrant crispy chicken.

The seaweed soup is special. Not Taiwanese Style, Japanese Style nor Korean Style. It's Grandma's Style! I don't have recipe but only the memory of taste, the memory of grandma ... I miss her so much :'C

芝麻香蔥蛋捲餅 Sesame Spring Onion Egg Rolls

當你肚子餓了, 家裡又沒食物, 有沒力氣煮, 簡單的蛋捲餅, 是非常好的選擇. 印度煎餅油份比較高, 做工也比較複雜. 這個香蛋餅, 有香氣, 做法簡單. 香香的芝麻味, 熱熱吃, 好吃... 

飽了.. ^_^

When you are hungry, no food in house, no strength to cook, the simple egg rolls is the best choice. Compare to Roti Canai, which has more oily and more complicated way to make, I prefer the egg rolls, simple and fragrant. With the smile of sesame and onion, eat when it's hot, just delicious.....

Full by now ... ^_^

花花手工麵包Flower Handmade Breads

新鮮出爐啦!! 好一陣子沒做麵包, 突然想吃上面有牛油加砂糖的面包. 不知道要做什麼造型, 那就來個富貴花開吧 :) 我關節痛, 不能手打甩麵糰, 又沒耐心做免揉麵包, 得等上一天, 弄了好久, 還好成品柔軟. 今天元宵節, 也祝福大家元宵節快樂 ^_^

喔, 忘了說第一次做加了雞蛋的麵糰.

It's been quite some time I did make breads. I felt like to eat a traditional bread which has butter and sugar on top. I had no idea what shape will be nice. How about blossom flowers? It is so blessful in the new year time.

I have a lot of pain on my joints. The kneading and smashing the dough becomes difficult to me. I have no patient for waiting at least a day for non-kneading breads. Anyway, I still have the soft breads at last :)

Today is the last day of Chinese New Year, the "Lantern festival". Happy festival to all of you ^_^

蘋果戚风蛋糕Apple Chiffon Cake

不喜歡蘋果不脆的口感, 那就讓我把它便好吃吧! 第一次嘗試用蘋果做蛋糕, 意外的好吃. 厲害的蛋糕不用戚风蛋糕模也可以發得很好(其實是我沒有戚风蛋糕模, 在等人贊助:)). 用紅蘋果做的蛋糕, 居然是淡淡的綠色, 圓圓的蛋糕還真有點像個大綠蘋果 ......

When apples become not crunchy, let me make them taste better! First try on making apple cake, wow, not bad at all. I guess a good chiffon cake can raise nicely too without chiffon cake mold.(Frankly, I don't have any, waiting for sponsor :P)

I made the cake with read apple but it turned out with light green. The round cake looks like a big green apple. Don't you agree? ^_^

羊咩咩餅慶新年2015 Goat Shape Cookies Celebrating Chinese Goat Year

好多事, 好多事, 新年前, 新年中都好多事, 希望今年真的是"好好好". 還是湊了個時間做了羊羊餅, 是牛油起司餅喔. 這幾天, 臉書專頁加入了好多新朋友, 謝謝大家的支持, 也祝福大家, 年年快樂, 事事順利, 羊羊得意, 喜洋洋 ... :)

Happy goats wish you a happy happy new year

Butter Cheese Cookies hope you like too :)

茉莉綠茶蜂蜜蜜豆蛋糕Jasmine Green Tea Honey Cake

-

wow, 雞蛋不新鮮, 蛋白沾到了蛋黃, 打完蛋後, 直接打蛋白, 好像不該犯得都犯了, 心想應該成不了了吧! 沒像到, OK勒, 可又想起, 牛奶也忘了加, 這味道行嗎? 覺得, 有點"老人"口味, 沒想到小朋友會喜歡 :)

Wow, the eggs were no so fresh. The egg white had been mixed up with egg yolk a bit. After finishing beating the eggs, I just beat the egg white directly without cleaning the beaters. It seemed that I had made lots of the mistakes. I thought I would failed. Unexpectedly, it turned out OK. However, I just remembered I forgot to add milk, O dear, how would it taste? It looked like "old folk" taste to me but the kids just like it out of my thought :)  ...

牛油檸檬醬麵包Butter Bread with lemon cream topping

剛打掃房間, PO一張秒殺面包吧. 最近都忙到很晚. 原本想做波羅包但又點懶, 這個味道多層次的自創牛油檸檬醬麵包, 軟軟香香甜甜酸酸, 不秒殺都很難 ....

Just finished cleaning up my room before posting this irresistible bread. I planed to make polo bun but feeling lazy, so I made the butter bread instead. I made this with my own recipe. The variety of taste, soft, smell nice, a bit of sweet and sour, left you an empty tray .......

自製花生醬Homemade Peanut Butter

第一次做不成功, 第二次, 就是這次OK了, 家裡沒有食物調理機, 用的是普通的果汁機, 是有點勉強, 不過還好完成了. 花生烤好, 就被吃了很多, 所以, 這次沒做這麼多, 成品只有半罐. 吃自己做得花生醬這樣比較不擔心有反式脂肪或氫化的問題, 比較健康喔!

Failed on first time but this time I had made it. I don't have food processor, so I used normal fruit blender to blend the peanuts. It's a bit harder but finally I had it done. After the peanuts were roasted, some of them had gone into stomach. Thus, I didn't do many this time. It's only half of a peanut butter bottle. Home made peanut butter ease the worry of trans-fat and hydrogenation. I think it's more healthy :)

檸檬層層蛋糕Lemon layer Cake

哇, 檸檬醬成功! 疊疊層層加上檸檬醬, 好吃! 蛋糕烤好, 好香又好看(別人說的 :)), 大家都等著吃喔!

Wow, the lemon cream is well done. Layer by layer with lemon cream filling, so.... delicious! When the cake was moved out from oven, it smell so good and looked so nice (this was the comment from other). Everyone was waiting ...., ya !!

香蘭卡士達面包Pandan Custard Breads

上回, 照食譜做的卡士達醬不是很滿意, 這回自己調吧, 這樣才會有感覺. 還不錯, 有被喜歡喔 :)

而且, 可以很快速煮好, 不結塊

I tried to make custard cream by following the given recipe but it did not look like what I want. Thus, I just simply cook it in my way this time to have some feeling about it. Alright, it turned out great and people like it. By the way, it could be cooked faster and won't turn rough.

The pandan juice gave the color and fragrance, all natural ... :)

獨家釀豆腐Exclusive yiong tio fu (stuffed bean curd)

客家釀豆腐. 我一直都是用魚肉作內餡, 這次冰箱只有絞肉, 沒辦法啦, 只好做傳統的釀豆腐內餡. 我不喜歡絞好的的肉, 對我而言太多肥油了, 人在異鄉可沒能挑剔喔! 

一個人做, 感覺有點孤單, 得有一些人一邊包餡一邊閒話家常, 才有那種"傳統"的感覺, 也比較有生氣. 有別於傳統的湯底, 用了自己的慣用的煮法. 其實, 準備一餐釀豆腐, 是很健康的一餐, 營養很均衡, 像我少油的烹調, 就不怕油份太高.

Normally I use fish for the Hakka yiong tio fu filling but this time I only could find minced meat in the fridge, so I just made more traditional type. I don't really like the ready minced meat because it has too much fat. Inconveniently, I couldn't be so picky since I was in  foreign country.

A bit lonely to prepare the yiong tio fu, should have some people to do the filling together and chit chatting to have a kind of "traditional" sense, but also more alive. For the soup base, I used my own cooking method other than the traditional way. In fact, yiong tio fu is a very healthy meal. It has good balanced nutrition for a meal. I cook it with less oil and this will not be too oily for the diet.

美祿巧克力蔓越莓杯杯蛋糕 Milo Chocolate Cranberry Cup Cake

今天的下午茶, 主角其實是烘培紙摺的紙杯. 上次, 看到摺得很好看的紙杯, 很想嘗試. 有一次紙杯脫色, 被嚇到了, 我想用烘培紙會比較好而且也滿好看的, 對嗎? :)

味道太好了, 搶了紙杯的鋒頭. 我自己不是很喜歡巧克力蛋糕, 要讓我覺得好吃, 就得讓味道更有層次 .... 成功 !!

Today afternoon tea snack,  Milo Chocolate Cranberry Cup Cake. Actually, the main role is the paper cup. I  was learning how to fold the paper cup using baking paper since last time I saw the paper cups were beautifully folded. I had a bad experience once the paper cup decoloring I thought using baking paper will be safer and it looks good too, right?

The taste of the cup cake is too good to grab more attention than the paper cup. I don't really like chocolate cake. To let me eat, it must  have more different tastes in my mouth.. I think I have just made it right, Hurray !!

水果迷你比薩 fruit mini pizza

早上弄一份這樣的早餐, 真得有種單身的感覺. 心情格外的輕鬆. 全麥吐司, 水果再加上起司稍微的烤一烤, 起司融化就行了, 不要烤得太焦. 配上一杯淡咖啡, 早上您好 !! :)

Having a breakfast like this made me felt single again. Nice mood indeed in the morning. Whole wheat toast, fruits and cheese baked for a while until the cheese melted, don't over cook the toast. Plus one  mug of light coffee ... All I have to say is "Good Morning !! " :)

人心果香蕉蛋糕Sapodilla(Chikoo) banana cake

三更半夜做蛋糕! 沒辦法啦, 忙玩已經很晚了, 這些水果一定要儘快處理掉. 香蕉被帶回來的時候, 壓壞了, 那好, 做香蕉蛋糕吧! 發現了一個過熟的人心果, 那好, 拿來做蛋糕吧! 二合一, 會是什麼味道呢? 我只能說, 又多了一個食譜. 想不到那麼就沒做蛋糕, 竟能一氣呵成 ...

在做的時候, 人心果的味道很濃, 或許香蕉不是很熟. 烤的時候, 香蕉的味道會慢慢出來. 烤好的蛋糕別有一番風味. 水果香, 綿綿帶有一點溼溼, 完全無添加, 無牛油少油份, 吃起來無負擔.. :)

I have no choice to make a cake in the middle of the night. Too many chores to do and those fruits have to get rid of it. Bananas were mashed when bringing back. Ok, just make a cake! One chikoo was over ripe. Ok, just make a cake! Two in one. What will it taste? All I can say I have one more recipe. It has been time I did not make cake and I made it!

When making the cake, the fragrance of chikoo was strong, maybe the banana was ripe enough for cake, but when baking the cake, the fragrance of banana was getting stronger. When the cake was done, it has a very special fragrance. Fragrance of fruits, soft and little bit wet, no additives at all, no butter and less oil, nice to eat and good to health :)

2014冬至 ~ 天然湯圓 紫色系 All Natural Tang Yuan for DongZhi Festival (purple theme)

因為發生了一些事, 好久都沒有更新, 希望大家沒有忘記這個部落格. 昨天, 有人問我:"今天是不是冬至?", 想一想, 好像是, 趕緊買材料做湯圓, 想說沒什麼準備, 內餡來不及做, 就做簡單的湯圓.

我不是很喜歡吃湯圓, 因為不喜歡糯米粉的味道和那種哽喉的感覺. 記得小時候, 紅白湯圓加上加了姜(沒記錯的話)的糖水, 沒有很吸引我, 所以, 我不是很記得"冬至".

想了想, 沒了內餡要用什麼去壓過糯米粉的味道? 首先, 先要把湯圓弄得美美的, 要有好看的顏色, 當然, 那一定要用天然的色素, 找來了紫萬年青屬, 楊桃, 紅蘿蔔做了三色湯圓, 做了不同的造型, 傳統單色圓形, 混色圓形, 圓柱形, 還有彩蛋 :)

湯底大概是只此一次, 下不為例. 舅媽送的紫竹蔗, 紫萬年青要我煮湯水喝, 那正好就拿來當湯圓的湯底好了, 沒想到意外的大受歡迎, 一大鍋沒剩, 大讚好吃. ^_^

我搞錯了, 今天才是冬至, 祝大家冬至快樂!!

Somethings had happened to me. I was unable to do the updating. Hopefully, people will still remember my blog.

I was asked yesterday  :"  Is today Dong Zhi?", I guessed it was, so I immediately prepared for making tangyuan (Glutinous rice balls) but I had no time for making fillings. Thus, I made some simple Tangyuan.

I don't really like Tangyuan because I don't like the taste of glutinous rice powder and the choking feeling of eating it. When I was kid, red and white tangyuan with ginger(if I'm no wrong) sweet soup did not attracted me at all. I guess this is the reason I always forget the Dongzhi festival.

After some thoughts, how to cover the taste of glutinous rice powder without fillings?First of all, I needed to make some beautiful tangyuan to make it more attractive. O! Color is important. No doubt, we must use natural colors. I used rhoeo Spathacea, starfruit and carrot to have three colors tangyuan.
I made different shapes for this year, single color traditional tangyuan, mixed colors round, cylindrical shape and colorful egg shape.

I only can make once soup base for this year because the ingredients are from my auntie's garden. She gave me some rhoeo Spathaceas and purple bamboo canes for making dessert. I thought it might be a good idea to make the soup for tangyuan. Unexpectedly, they love it, whole big pot finished and praising delicious ^_^

I was wrong the Dongzhi Festival is on Today not yesterday. Hope you all have a happy DongZhi !!

1/8全麥蔬菜香菇雞包子1/8 Whole wheat vegetable mushroom chicken baozi(steamed bun)

等待嘗試已久的包子, 終於都出爐了. 包子皮做得很好, 可內餡有點差強人意, 因為不小心其中的調味料倒過頭了, 還好加了熟蛋, 又扳回了一點. 這個食譜也是為健康早餐設計的, 也很方便, 收進冰箱, 隨時可以蒸來吃 :)

Longing to try for so long and finally, I made it. The steamed buns were well done but less satisfied with the fillings because one of the seasoning had accidentally been added more. Nonetheless, the boiled eggs had added credit for the taste. This recipe is also designed for  healthy breakfast. It's convenient to keep in the fridge and you can have it anytime, just steam it to reheat. 

全麥起司蛋餅whole wheat cheese egg rolls

得感謝今早沒留早餐給我的人, 讓我在餓急之下, 想了一個食譜, 一個健康早餐. 不配醬料, 其實也很好吃, 加了辣椒醬, 番茄醬, 會失去原味, 加了紅紅的醬料只是想讓畫面好看一點.

我放很少的油, 一點都不油膩. 我想以後早餐就這樣了, 畢竟我還是比較喜歡鹹點 , 還可以有多變化^_^

Thank to someone did not save the last piece of  spring onion cake for  breakfast to me this morning. I had nothing for breakfast  made me think of a new recipe for egg rolls, a healthy breakfast, under my hunger.  It's tasty enough without any sources. Chilly and tomato source will cover the taste of original. I just made it looked nicer when photographing.

I put least oil.Thus, it won't be oily. I guessed I will make it as my breakfast the day after. After all, I like salty more than sweet snacks and it can have different ingredients according to my favorites. :)

紫薯饅頭purple sweet potato raisin mantou

好久都沒更新, 不曉得這個blog有沒有被遺忘 :)

是啊, 出國去了. 到美國的第一個作品. 想不到我在這裡可以找到紫薯, 原本只是想買些番薯煮糖水, 發現是紫薯, 真的是心喜若狂. 雖然道具不足, 還是成功, 更加歡喜, 哈哈哈!!

It has been long time not updating my posts. Hopefully, this blog won't be forgotten ...

Yes, I was abroad. The first thing I made in USA was purple sweet potato mantou. I bought some sweet potatoes for making dessert, never thought that I could find purple sweet potatoes here. It's really a big surprise to me and it's my first try on purple sweet potatoes to make mantou.

haha! Well done even I did have proper cookwares to use. Feeling wonderful indeed!

楊桃海綿蛋糕 StarFruit Sponge Cake

真的好忙好忙, 公事家務事占據了大部分時間, 已經很少進廚房. 相片也沒整理, 那天不小心把SD 卡的資料全刪了, 雖然做了restore但還沒檢查那些不見了. 

家裡楊桃成熟時, 理應要做有楊桃口味的烘陪. 我做了楊桃海綿蛋糕. 如果你喜歡蜂蜜蛋糕, 你應該也會喜歡楊桃蛋糕. 口感清淡, 但會口齒留香 ......

Busy, busy, busy...Spent most of the time on my work and housework, less time in my kitchen. Plenty of photos have not arranged yet. My SD card was deleted accidentally, although I had tried to rescued but I haven't checked the restored files. I doubt I can remember which files have been missing :P

When the star fruits ripened, should have something baking with it. I made Star Fruit Sponge Cake. If you like honey cake, you should like it too. Light taste and left scent in your mouth .....

芒果巧克力牛油蒸蛋糕 Mango Chocolate Butter Steam Cake

這些日子都懶懶的, 又忙忙的, 有一些等待著我處理的剩餘材料, 今天給他搞定, 東拼西湊弄出了個蛋糕. 炎熱的天氣, 壓根都不去想, 煎啊炸啊烤啊的食物, 就蒸個蛋糕吧!

天啊! 好醜喔! 不想做記綠, 反正是隨興創作. 吃了一片, 蛋糕很軟, 味道很好, 拍了拍了 ..... ^_^

Having  lazy and busy days recently, some leftover ingredients are waiting for me to get rid of them. OK, let's do it today. Such a hot weather, I better made something without baking and frying. How about a steam cake? Just nice for afternoon tea :)

O! No!Looked bad when I opened the steamer cover. It's ok. Anyway, I won't make any record. However, I changed my mind after eating one piece of it. Soft and good taste, so here you are 

Mango Chocolate Butter Steam Cake ^_^

素料理 Vegetarian Cuisines

蔬菜煮得很油, 而且用的是炸過麵筋類的油, 大量的人工調味料, 加上麵筋製品在製作過程的添加劑, 人工調味料, 這樣的素食料理, 並不健康. 如果要排除這些人工增味劑, 加工食品, 要煮一道好吃又美味的素食, 感覺有點困難. 炒一盤蔬菜, 沒什麼問題, 可以像平時一樣料理. 但是, 像我們習慣用肉熬湯煮出濃郁的湯底, 可素素素, 又不能加人工調味料, 還要簡單快捷, 要如何煮出美味的湯底呢?

前些日子, 用了不同現有的食材煮了湯, 味道都很好, 我喜歡, 家人也喜歡.

If the cooked vegetable is too oily and the oil is reused after frying the seitan or wheat gluten products, lots of artificial seasoning, flavors, especially those processed gluten products which have additives, lots of artificial seasoning, flavors, I won't agree that they are healthy even they don't contain any meats. Cooking vegetarian cuisines sounds a little bit difficult without those flavor enhancers. For me, pan-fry a plate of vegetable is quite simple but how to cook a nice and delicious vegetable soup, especially needing less time to cook?

Days before, I used different ingredients to try cooking some soups. They all tastes good. I like it. My family like it either :)

巧克力香橙蛋卷Chocolate Orange Rolls

卷卷卷, 最怕的雞蛋捲, 因為喜歡面朝上露出淺褐色表皮, 不小心可是會破相的哦! 家人都不喜歡whipped cream 鮮奶油, 家裡也沒有瓶裝果醬, 所以每次做, 內餡都要傷腦筋. 不過, 這樣也好, 可以激發創意 .......

這樣得下午茶, 你喜歡嗎?

Do you like the afternoon tea like this?

Roll, roll, roll. What a horrible egg rolls! I like rolling in to show the brown top on surface. However, this will be ruined if it stuck on the lying surface.

My family don't like neither the whipped cream nor jams. Thus, every time I makes the egg rolls, it's a big headache to think of the filling but the good thing is it's a good chance to be more creative ... :)

手打全麥香蕉麵包+ 糖水 Hand Kneading Whole Wheat Banana Bread+dessert

下雨的星期天總得弄個吃的, 前些日子, 買了有幾全麥麵粉, 家裡又有香蕉, 做麵包吧!

想不到隨意弄一弄, 弄出個超軟麵包, 又可以多寫一道食譜, 樂也 :)

今晚就吃了一半, 留一半當明天的早餐..

手打也能打出薄膜, 神! 希望明天手, 肩膀不要痛得太厲害 .....

辛苦歸辛苦, 做麵包的感覺越來越多, 越來越好. 雖然, 有很多局限, 也沒有很好的工具, 但我相信我一定做得到 .... ^_^

No doubt, I have to made something to eat on raining Sunday. I had brought a packet of organic whole wheat flour few weeks ago. And now, I have bananas. OK, let's go for banana bread!

I did have any recipe for that and I just followed my feeling. What a surprise, it turned out to be a very soft bread. Happy to have one more recipe of my own :)

Tonight, half of the breads had already been eaten, saved the rest for tomorrow breakfast ....

Wow, I kneaded the dough until it had paper-thin film. Hopefully, my hand and shoulder won't pain too much .. ^_^

表面不刷任何東西, 所以顏色淺淺

I didn't brush anything on the top, so their color is light.

番薯薏米糖水 Sweet potato barley dessert

今天也煮了糖水. 橙白兩色番薯, 薏米, 自製的鹹湯圓. 一直被橙色番薯的顏色給迷惑, 沒想到白番薯的味道更香濃, 這一鍋吃光光 .... :)

Today, I also made some dessert, sweet potato barley dessert. It has orange and white sweet potato, barley and homemade tangyuan. Most of the time, I was attracted by the color of orange sweet potato but today, I found that white potato has richer and more fragrant taste. Yummy dessert, all finished .... :)

沙葛豆腐煲Pot of Yam Bean Doufu

昨天衛塞節假日, 人有點不舒服, 沒打算要煮晚餐. 可是, 有人堅持要吃住家菜, 沒辦法啦, 只好起立乖乖進廚房, 煮個懶人餐. 這個懶人餐, 總比快熟麵強多了. 原本要來個素的, 加了蝦米, 就不能算素食. 這道料理, 不加葷料, 也可以做成素食. 吃葷的話, 可以加雞丁, 味道也會很好.

這一鍋的材料有Ingredients in the pot:   

1. 香蔥蛋卷 Spring Onion Egg Rolls

2. 豆腐 Doufu

3. 沙葛 Yam Bean

4. 小白菜 Green Vegetable

4. 蝦米 Dried Prawn

5. 黑木耳Black fungus

6. 蒜頭 Garlics

這樣子簡單的"一鍋熟", 在忙碌的生活中, 或只有自己吃飯時, 懶得煮, 又懶得出去, 懶人餐的確是很好的選擇, 簡單的烹飪法, 又不失營養 :)

I didn't feel well on yesterday Vesak holiday. Thus, I had no intention to make dinner. However, someone insisted on having home cook for dinner. I had no choice to stand up and walk into my kitchen cooking dinner.

aha!The best choice was "lazy meal" which is always better than instant noodles. At first, I would like to cook vegetarian meal but after adding dried prawn, I don't think I can call it vegetarian meal. However, it can be vegetarian meal if opt out any meats or seafood. Another option for this cook is replaced the dried prawn with chicken will give you the good taste too.

When you feel lazy, lazy to go out, the simple "ready in one pot" dishes is a good choice after a hectic work and for one having dinner alone. The cooking method is simple but won't trade in the nutrition :)

雞絲海帶炒飯+奶油蘑菇湯 Chicken Seaweed Fried and Mushroom Cream Soup

忙碌的一天, 晚餐簡單吃, 煮個炒飯加個湯, 那就一餐了, 比起外食也強得多 :)

那就來個雞絲海帶炒飯和奶油蘑菇湯. 不油膩, 少油, 不需隔夜飯, 也能炒出好吃的炒飯.

自家煮奶油湯可以調整牛油的份量, 鹽份也比較低. 這樣的搭配, 也不會有很大得負擔.

看似簡單的一頓, 準備起來也不能馬虎, 細活也不少, 準備時間也差不多,

只是用餐的時候, 會比較放鬆一點 .......

After a hectic day, it's good to have a simple dinner. Fried rice and soup is just nice and it's better than outside food :)

I made Chicken Seaweed Fried and Mushroom Cream Soup for dinner. Not too oily and no need overnight rice still can make delicious fried rice. You can adjust the quantity of butter and salt for homemade cream soup. Totally, it won't be a burden for your body.

Look simple but still had a lot of work to do to prepare a dinner like this. Sometimes, a simple meal makes me feel more relax ... :)

菜包子Vegetarian Steamed Buns

今天的下午茶, 素菜包子. 現炒, 現做, 現包, 趁熱吃.....

第一次用自己的方法, 第一次做包子, 所以沒加全麥粉,  想看看成果如何, 下次再做全麥包子.

麵糰原本揉得很好, 下半場有點失魂, 成品表皮底下有點小坑洞, 沒關係啦, 這樣才有話題. 380克中筋麵粉, 大約可以做10個, 這個體積剛剛好, 不會太大也不會太小.

午餐沒吃飯, 只吃了點心,  這個太好了, 吃了兩個 :) 

三光麵糰

盆光, 手光, 麵團光滑

玫瑰全麥斑馬蛋糕 Whole Wheat Zebra Rose Cake

曾有網友問玫瑰可以除了拿來做燕菜還能做什麼? 我想應該可以用在蛋糕上, 所以寫了玫瑰蛋糕食譜. 第一口吃起來好像沒什麼味道, 可沒想到會口齒留香, 越咀嚼越有味道, 健康蛋糕 :)

A member of a facebook group asked what roses can be used for except making agar-agar. I think to use it for making cake will be nice. Therefore, I made a recipe for the rose cake. Not very heavy taste for first bite, but the fragrance will left in your month after you chew. The more you chew it'll taste nicer and tasty. It's a healthy cake :)

全麥香蘭kaya層層蛋糕 Whole Wheat Kaya Layers Cake

有一粒椰子就可以變出很多花樣. 之前做班蘭蛋糕, 總覺得少了一種香味, 在想應該是沒放椰漿, 所以, 一定要做一個有椰香味的班蘭蛋糕. 蛋糕做出來了, 不夠甜, 還好之前有做kaya. 把蛋糕切成三分, 塗上kaya醬, 真的是錦上添花, 好吃得不得了. 冷藏了更好吃. 

可惜, 相片看不清楚層次, 因為都是班蘭色  :)

If you have one coconut, you can have many cuisines. The pandan cakes I made before had lack a kind of fragrance. I think this is because i didn't add coconut milk, so I have to add some coconut milk this time. 

When the cake was done, i found it's not sweet enough. Luckily, I had made some kaya before. Thus, i cut the cakes into few layers and spread on some kaya. This made the cake became more tasty. It even tasted better after refrigerated.

The layers in the picture are not so obvious due to the same color I had used, the pandan natural color. 

種了好多的班蘭葉

I have a lot of pandan leaves :) It's good to have cooking ingredients in your garden.

山藥蜂蜜全麥饅頭 Chinese Yam Honey Whole Wheat Mantou

這次設計的饅頭好養生. 用了好吃又健康得新鮮山藥做主角, 還有較健康的全麥麵粉. 

這裡不像中國, 台灣, 饅頭不是很普遍, 家人也不習慣吃饅頭, 好多時候, 都是自己默默把它吃完. 這個饅頭兩天就吃完了, 又軟, 有甜味, 又香, 隔天不必蒸過, 也一樣很軟 :)

I made a good to health mantou recipe. The main role of the mantou is fresh chinese yam which is a very healthy ingredient. Besides, I used healthier whole wheat instead of plain flour.

Here, mantou is not as common as in China or Taiwan. My family is not used to it as well. Most of the time, I have to finish it by myself. However, the mantous were finished in two days time. It's soft, little sweet and having good fragrance and it's still soft in the next day unlike normal mantous they needed to steam before eat.

小熊牛油雞蛋糕Little Bear Butter Egg Cakes

說實在的, 我不是很喜歡吃傳統的雞蛋糕, 只是對它的造型有興趣. 小時候, 快過年時, 外婆會用個大缸打雞蛋, 我每次都覺得她好辛苦喔! 我會幫她烤蛋糕, 烤具是那種上下有火炭的, 很熱. 因為不喜歡傳統雞蛋糕的口感, 我更改了配方和做法, 這是沒有泡打粉, 蘇打粉或任何添加發泡劑的雞蛋糕, 比傳統雞蛋糕要柔軟綿密.

沒有雞蛋糕的模, 這個小熊的模做得有點勉強, 但總算也做出來了. 

I don't really like the traditional egg cakes but the shapes are quite interesting. When I was a kid, my granny used to make a lot of egg cakes before new year. She used a large vat and large spiral whisker to whisk the eggs. I always felt that it's too hard for her. I helped her to bake the cakes by using a very old fashion tool which has chacoals burning on top and below. Because I don't like the taste of traditional egg cakes, I changed the recipe and the method of making. My recipe does not have any baking powder, baking soda and additive leavening agents. They taste better than the traditional egg cakes, softer and tenderer.

I don't have the mould for egg cakes. It's hard to made the egg cakes with the mould, the litte bear mould,  I have but finally still have it done :)

素意大利麵 Vegetarian Spaghetti

看到電視劇裡的人吃著充滿奶油香味的西式料理, 忍不住也想來一盤富有奶油味的食物. 好久沒煮義大利麵了, 突然想了一種醬汁想試試看, 那就心動不如行動, 這就去煮 ....

不知道要如何命名這碟義大利面, 因為裡面沒有肉類海鮮, 姑且叫它素意大利麵. 醬汁用得是新鮮的番茄煮成的番茄醬,  還有一些義大利麵醬汁的材料, 蔬菜. 沒想到自己栽種的薄荷也派上了用場. 

這樣的晚餐, 你會喜歡嗎?

Seeing people in the drama eating cream flavor Western cuisine, made me wanted to have a rich creamy taste of food too. An idea just came into my mind. I would like to try a sauce for the spaghetti. Ok the spaghetti was just nice for the dinner.

I don't know how to name it. There are no meats and seafood, so I just call it  Vegetarian Spaghetti. I used fresh tomatoes for tomato paste, some spaghetti sauce ingredients and fresh vegetable. The mint I planted was added in the ingredients too :)
