米粉湯 Rice Noodle Soup

生病的時候, 想到要吃粥就怕? 為了改變生病就要吃粥的既定印象, 為生病的人準備了米粉湯. 好喝的湯汁, 讓病人比較容易下嚥. 當然, 為了讓病人可以得到更好的營養, 湯底是很重要的. 可以煮素的湯底. 也可以加一點肉去煮. 一天煮葷的, 一天煮素的, 都很好喝. 吃了我煮的東西, 身體會很快好起來哦! :)


In our culture, we use to eat porridge when we are sick. Some will be sick of it. There is an alternative, Rice Noodle Soup. Soup is easier for sick people to eat especially when they have not appetite and feeling weak.
The rice noodle soup has to be cooked in healthy way and provides nutrition. Thus, the soup base is very important.Soup with meat or without meat is fine. I cooked each in two different days. The soup is nice. Normally, they will recover fast after having what I cook :)

肉骨茶 Herbal Meat Soup ( Bah Kut Teh)

原本想偷懶, 可是因為是下雨天, 正是吃肉骨茶的好天氣, 只好趕快把排骨拿出來解凍 ...

媽媽給的排骨, 我自己很少吃豬肉, 給我的時候, 我只想到肉骨茶, 先收好有空再弄.

今天就派上用場了

我煮肉骨茶不用現成的藥材包, 我自己配藥材. 現成的藥材包, 味道很淡, 自己配的可以比較好掌握. 

這個排骨的肉很好, 不會很硬, 單吃也很香, 湯汁濃厚, 配飯正好 :)

I was too lazy to cook this evening but on raining day, it's a best day to have Herbal Meat Soup. Thus, I just took it out from the fridge to defrost ...

The pork was given by my mom, I seldom eat pork, when she gave it to me, the only dish I could think is Bah-Kut-The (In local we call it Bak-Kut-Teh. It's a traditional Chinese Herbal Meat Soup), so I just kept it in fridge waiting for the day to come, and now the day comes ...

I do not use the package herbs to cook. Normally, I  choose the herbs by myself. The soup cooked with the ready package has less taste, so I prefer to pick what I want and the taste of soup can be more manageable.

I think the meat is near the ribs. It's tender. It has fragrance when you bite it. The soup is thick. It's nice to have it with rice 

水果起司麵包 Fruit Cheese Bread

之前有介紹過用中筋麵粉做的麵包, 這個水果起司麵包也是用中筋麵粉做的麵包. 配上水果, 起司的麵包, 減少厚重的感覺, 真是好吃又好看.

The bread is made of plain flour. Fruits and cheese topping made it less heavy. The bread is really nice to eat and nice to see.

藥酒雞 Herbs and Wine Chicken Soup

連續幾天的冷天, 又濕又冷, 給家人煮一鍋藥酒雞熱一熱身子. 藥酒雞的做法簡單, 冰箱裡有甚麼藥材, 就用上了, 加上補酒, 就OK了. 很簡單吧

藥酒雞, 湯肉一起吃, 味美湯濃

The weather was cold and wet recently. I prepared a pot of Chinese Herbs and Wine Chicken Soup for m family to warm up their bodies. Cooking the soup is quite easy. Check your fridge for what herbs you have and add some wine to cook with chicken. Sound simple, right?

Eat the chicken with the soup together, you will have a great taste :)

冬至2017香香湯圓 Dongzh 2017~Fragrant and colorful Tangyuan

昨天冬至, 今天才上載, 沒辦法啦, 做完, 煮完湯圓, 再煮晚餐, 已經快不行了.

原以為冬至過了, 買午餐時, 發現那麼多餐飲店休息, 才知道當天就是冬至. 

身體微恙, 還沒完全康復, 還是想給家人過個冬至, 做了簡單的湯圓. 那就要在湯底花心思. 天然的植物色素, 有沒有讓你心動?

這鍋香香湯圓, 最後被秒殺了 .... :)

Yesterday was Dongzhi Festival. After making and cooking TangYuan and dinner, I was exhausted, so I just made the post today.

I thought I have missed the festival until I found that a lot of food courts were closed for the festival. Since yesterday was Dongzhi, I wanted to cook for my family even I hadn't fully recovered from my sickness. I just made the simple TangYuan. Thus, I needed to make more afford to prepare the soup of TangYuan. Are you attracted by the natural plant colors?

Lastly, a big bowl of  Fragrant and colorful Tangyuan was finished up tastily.

迷你香蘭蛋塔 Fragrant Mini Egg Tarts

今年的兒童節, 為學校的小朋友們準備了小蛋塔. 沒有買到迷你的蛋塔模, 操作起來真的耗時間, 烤的時候, 也爆了好幾顆. 現在也忘了, 到底做了幾顆, 只知道忙了一天一夜, 的確很累. 但想到既然答應了, 就要完成. 太多了, 無法放進冰箱, 放了冰箱, 第二天會跟好吃哦!

This year, I prepared some mini tarts for kids at school on Children's Day. Without the mini tart mould, it took more time to finish. Some were even broken during baking. I can not remember how many I had done but I had been busy for whole day and night. I was really tired. However, since I had promised, I had to keep the promise.

There're too many to keep in the fridge or they would taste better on second day :)

蘋果, 梨水果蛋糕 Apple, Pear Fruit Cake

好久沒做蛋糕了, 剛好有預備好的蘋果, 梨. 水果蛋糕, 要有蛋糕又要有水果的顆粒, 要有咬得到果肉的感覺. 蛋糕裡要果汁, 果味. 水分很難計算, 只好靠感覺嘍!

放入冰箱, 冰的更好吃 :)

It's been long time not making cake. I had saved some apples and pears as the ingredients. I would like my fruit cake contains both fruits and juice. However, the measurement of liquid is hard to control. I just followed my gut feeling ..

It tastes better after keeping in fridge.

果肉浮在上面表示蛋糕做的好, 蛋糕可是沒有放泡打粉的喔!

Fruit pieces kept on the top means the cake is well done. No baking powder added in.

無敵起司蛋塔 Super Cheese Tart

有一天在賣場走著走著, 咦, 有賣起司蛋塔耶, 趨前一看, 天啊, 怎麼那麼貴, 像我這樣兩袖清風的人, 怎麼吃得起, 即使有錢, 我也不會買, 真的賣得很貴. 順勢身體一轉, 說: "回去, 我做給你們吃"

哈哈, 我就給他做出來, 而且是分量很足的起司, 純牛油做的餅皮, hoho, 真的好好吃, 吃過的人, 都說要拿去買, ...

One day, I was walking in a shopping mall. I saw one shop selling cheese tart, then I walked closer. Oh, No, Why it's so expensive? People like me always have empty pocket. How can I afford it ? If I have money, I won't buy from the shop either. It's really too expensive. I just changed my direction and said : "Go, I'll bake this for you".

haha, dada, I made it. A lot of cheese and pure butter crust.. hoho, so nice to eat. Everyone who has tried suggested me to sell it.

蜜汁櫻桃麵包 Cherry Buns

今天88節, 好久沒做麵包, 就弄一個較健康的麵包吧. 剛好有人送來了新鮮的櫻桃, 就讓我弄一個新食譜, 蜜汁櫻桃麵包, 除了碳水化合物, 更加入了更多的營養素, 明天的早餐好嘍!

Today is day 88 (August 8). It's been long time not baking any bread. I want somethings healthy in my ingredients. Oh, I just got fresh cherries. OK, let me make a new recipe, cherry buns. Besides carbohydrates, more nutrients were added. Ya!Tomorrow breakfast is ready!

手作麵包還是能做出柔軟有彈性的麵包

Handmade bread can be so soft too :)

特制番茄雞 Tomato Chicken Special

沒想要煮, 又自然的煮了一餐. 特制番茄雞用的是新鮮的番茄, 我不用罐裝或包裝番茄泥, 加了祕密的材料, 哈, 這樣味道就獨一無二了. 

No intention to cook tonight but still cooked for dinner. I used fresh tomatoes to cook instead of  canned or packed tomato paste. After added some secret ingredients, I guess it now an unique dish :)

香菇飯 Mushroom Rice

簡單做, 健康吃. 簡單的晚餐, 香菇飯配上滷蛋, 清炒包菜. 外面吃不到喔, 嘻

Make it simple, make it healthy. Simple dinner with mushroom rice, corned eggs and fried cabbage. You can't find these in any restourant :)

MyCook枕頭蛋包飯 MyCook Pillow Egg Rice

上次做了圓形的MyCook蛋包飯 這回做長枕型的蛋包飯, 這樣色, 香, 味, 型 都有了, 內包黃姜炒飯, 讚喔!

Last time I made round shape pocket rice, this time I tried long pillow shape. It  has color, fragrance, taste and shape, important elements of a cruisine. The filling is Turmeric Fried Rice, does it sounf great? :)

猫猫耳朵？ Kitten's Ears

要吃猫耳朵吗？小朋友眼睛睁大大：“猫？  。。耳朵？？”。。别怕，别怕，只不過是長的像猫耳朵的面皮，是中國北方的小吃， 我没有吃過，但我覺得, 這個小朋友會喜歡,  像我不是很喜歡吃麵皮的人, 或許也比較容易下嚥, 造型也可愛啊, 以後就不會想買義大利的貝殼麵了.

很容易煮, 加上自己喜歡的湯底, 不想吃飯的時候, 就來一碗吧.

Want some kitten's ears? The kids eyes opened wide :"Cat?! .. Ears?!!..." ... Don't be scared, it's only kitten's ear shape noodles. They are Northern Chinese snack food. I haven't tried before, but I think kids will like it. I don't really like the thick noodles, so I thought it would be more tasty to chew. Moreover, it's shape is cute and I feel no need to buy Conchiglie Pasta anymore..

It's very easy to cook. Add what ever soup you like. If you don't feel like to have rice, just have one bowl of it . :)

咖啡香包 Coffee Bun

墨西哥麵包好像跟墨西哥沒什麽關係，但是大家都知道墨西哥麵包就是那個樣子，麵包外裹香香的鬆鬆脆脆的外皮，内裹牛油，就是香啊！我就叫他“香包”，反正是都是我做的 。。。

我很少做'重油“ 的麵包，但是，基於製作，我還是要會。這次做了咖啡口味的香包，剛好有材料  ^_^ 我不是很喜歡咖啡口味的製成品，所以又加了多一個味道，讓味道多一個層次，也有比較高級的感覺。

牛油香， 咖啡香，香香包， 不好吃還真難 🤗

Mexico Bun and Mexico are not related. When people said Mexico Bun, most of us know what it is. It has crispy topping and butter filling. It really has nice smell. I called it "fragrant bun” ..

I seldom make oily bun but because of know-how I need to have it done. I made coffee flavour since I had the ingredient.  I don't like coffee flavour food. Thus, I added one more flavour to have different tastes in one bite.

Fragrance of butter, fragrance  of  coffee, who can resist the temptation ?

初嘗炒蘿蔔糕 First try of Fried Carrot Cake

憑感覺，憑這個厨房是我的，試試看，呃， 不錯耶！天啊， 沒記啊，怎麽在我的筆記本沒有啊！快瘋了， 下次能否感應準確，看來要好好練功才行

不同的地區，製作的蘿蔔糕都不同，有些地方叫菜頭粿， 菜頭在方言裏就是蘿蔔的意思。我不知道本地的菜頭粿，是因爲米漿加了蘿蔔， 還是炒的時候加入了菜脯（蘿蔔乾）， 才叫菜頭粿。有知道的人可以告訴我嗎？

不管是那種蘿蔔糕，油都用得很多，所以自家的少油少鹹炒蘿蔔糕，有難度， 再加上我沒有不粘鍋， 這種挑戰就是做料理的快樂

這次沒有用菜脯去炒，想説健康一點。吃了自己炒的蘿蔔糕之後，才覺得外買的炒蘿蔔糕真的放很鹹。

My family just love fried carrot cake. I tried according to my "feeling?". It's really a good try. However, I'm really upset now because I forgot to note down :(

Different places have different methods of making Chinese-type carrot cakes. They all need a lot of oil to cook. My recipes are always less oil and less salt. Moreover, I don't have any non-sticky pan but the carrot cake is very sticky. It's really a big challenge. It's OK. Anyway, it's done :)

I didn't add dried white radish as traditional cooking. I thought it could be more health without it. After eating fried carrot cake cooked by myself, I now feel that the fried carrot cakes sold at the stalls really salty.

爲了這次的炒蘿蔔糕，特地準備了自家發的豆芽

I grew the bean sprouts especially for the Fried Carrot Cakes

酵母版甜甜圈 Yeast version Doughnuts

原本想說，過完農曆新年，就可以回來MyCook日志， 沒想到日子還是一樣忙碌，
到現在也還沒新案子，真是惶恐 。。。

今天就拿出酵母版的甜甜圈，而且是用烤的，不用炸，也不用泡打粉. 傳統甜甜圈，高油，高甜，來到MyCook就得乖乖。甜甜圈用中筋麵粉就可以，烤的也一樣柔軟哦 :)

Use yeast as the leavener of  doughnuts to replace the chemical leavener. No deep fry and no baking powder. Oily and over sweet doughnuts is not expected. Baked doughnut can be soft and tasty too :)

冬至2016~紅豆沙綠茶湯圓+香濃紅豆湯 Dongzhi Festival 2016 ~ Red Bean Paste Green Tea TangYuan + Fragrant Red Bean Soup

爲什麽要自己煮紅豆, 做豆沙?

爲什麽要自己搓湯圓?

昨天太累了, 真是沒想多談 ...

永遠都不曉得冬至在何時, 昨天看人家貼文以爲昨天冬至, 趕快趕快做湯圓.. :P

好久沒做, 以爲OK, 但手不聽腦子想好的, 來亂的, 真不知會如何 ...

沒想到, 果然是出乎意料的好吃,

特製的紅豆沙, 有Q度, 有嚼勁的外皮, 口感好,味道好..還有別忘了濃鬱的紅豆湯 :)

I 'm so tired to write more. All I wish to say is

"Happy Dongzhi Festival"

福袋饅頭Fortune Bag

嘗試不同的材料， 永遠充滿了樂趣， 尤其搭配出來的味道是不錯時，就好有滿足感。但是，最困難的是取名字，要讓人聽了就大約知道是什麽而且想去嘗嘗， 這個還是有點難度。 這次就以造型取名吧，也把這個福氣送給老同學， 覺得挺有意義的。 吃了我做的福袋，大家要福福氣氣， 健健康康，所以用了對身體好的材料。

這次加了植物性的元素，院子裏自家種的，給饅頭加了顔色， 也加了養生 :)

Try to use different ingredients to make mantou is always full of fun, especially when the taste comes out is nice, having great satisfaction too. However, naming is the difficulty part. How to let people know about the food from its name is not easy. I named it from its shape, the fortune bag. Hopefully, people get it will receive the blessing of fortune. I had send this to my old classmate and his family.

The fortune bag mantou is made of healthy ingredients. I added "plant" element into it. The plant is grown in my garden. It makes the color to the mantou and lifts up our healthy.

茶麵 Cha Mian (Tea Noodles）

這算是本年度， 本人最滿意的作品，哈哈！茶麵用的是自個兒做的手工全麥麵。如果把蛋去除，這也可算是素食， 湯底不加肉，因爲本人爲了加多一點蛋白質， 所以給自個兒加了個蛋。

I guess this is my most satisfied "work" this year, haha. I made the noodles, the whole wheat noodles. The soup is nice and can be considered as vegetarian food if without egg. I just wanted to add more protein in my meal, so "one egg for me, please". :)

鷄肉漢堡Homemade Chicken Burger

今晚吃什麽之~ 鷄肉漢堡 + 玉米鷄湯 + 炒米粉

哈哈， 我一直以爲這個漢堡大餐已經張貼了原來還靜悄悄的藏著。 以前不會做麵包，都買現成的漢堡麵包，現在會做麵包，不自己做實在説不過去。從做麵包到準備内餡，如果沒空千萬別做這件事。但是，每天吃飯也會變得無聊， 只好 。。

這樣的晚餐也蠻健康的，鷄肉餡餅加了蔬菜，還有紅紅綠綠黃黃的蔬菜， 往桌上一攤，還挺美觀的，然後動手自己DIY漢堡， 好吃又好玩。通常漢堡會放生菜，但這不是生菜， 是出乎意外好吃的皺葉白菜。 生菜有種氣味， 家人不是很喜歡，生菜的種類很多，我也傻傻分不清楚 ..

What for tonight dinner ~ Chicken Burger + Corn Cream Soup + Fried Rice Noodle

Haha, I thought this post has already posted but it's still kept in the secret place. Before I know how to made burger bun, I used to buy the ready made but now I have to make it by myself. From cooking and preparing the fillings to making the burger buns, it really takes a lot of time. Thus, if you don't really have time for that, you better don't try. However, sometimes, you just feel boring with rice meal, so I just ...

It's quite a healthy meal. The chicken patty is added with some vegetable. Vegetable with red, green and yellow color laying on the top of table looked so nice. DIY burger is nice and fun ..
