恬院三色黃梨炒飯 Garden three color pineapple fried rice

來自自個后院的香料和食材，黃梨炒飯，有你無法想象的好吃，粒粒米都吸入了黃梨汁，每吃一口飯都充滿了黃梨的香氣， 當然，還有來自院子的天然香氣，完全是大自然的味道。。 配上一碗冬瓜鷄湯， 補充蛋白質的香煎魚，晚餐這樣子OK了 :)

The herb and long beans are from my garden.  I used them to make  pineapple fried rice. You can't image how yummy it is. When the rice absorbed the pineapple juice, every bite in your mouth will full of fragrance of fresh pineapple, plus the fragrance came from the garden. Totally fragrance from the mother of nature. What else for the dinner? How about winter melon chicken soup and fried fish? :)

椰子飯coconut rice

好久沒貼文了，發生了很多事，真的有點力不從心了。還好還有照片，應該是沒有要我放棄的意思。。。（嘻）

先用椰子飯開場吧！是的， 是椰子飯不是椰漿飯，有什麽不同嗎？椰子飯的做法比較少油脂，但一樣很香，這樣子的一餐也不失營養噢！

How's everybody? Something has been dragging me. Hopefully, things will go smooth day after day. Some photos still kept in my memory card remind me " don't give up". Maybe it's just a comfort excuse ... :)

I would like to start the post with "coconut rice". Yes, it is cooked with coconut instead of coconut milk. It consists less oil but still has nice fragrance as "nasi lemak" ...

鬆軟原味起司蛋糕Puffy and soft original cheese cake

需要 250g ~ 300g 奶油乳酪來做個軟密的起司蛋糕? 換個口感,  鬆鬆軟軟的, 也不錯喔!

這次用起司片做, 因為買了歐洲牌子的起司, 乳香味較重, 想說用來做蛋糕應該也不錯, 果然, 不錯.. 鬆軟再加上香氣, 在你想要對她多一點回憶, 她很快就消失無蹤了 ....

唉啊, 沒記錄, 我也忘了怎麼做 .... 

Need 250g~ 300g cream cheese to make mousse-like cheese cake? I think it's not too bad to try on puffy and soft cheese cake.

I used sliced cheese  because I just bought some Europe brand sliced cheese. The smell is good so I think it'll be good to make a cake too. Yes, I'm right. It tastes good and smell good as well. 

I thought I'll have lots of memories of it but it disappeared so fast. I could hardly remember it ...

O, dear, I forgot to write down the recipe   .......

牛奶土司(中筋麵粉) Mini Milk Soft Toast

誰說中筋麵粉不能做麵包? 最近都找不到常用的有機高筋麵粉, 也懶得再去找, 反正一開始做麵包就是用普通麵粉, 那就拿普通麵粉來做就行了. 製做過程沒添加任何化學添加物, 只用了無漂白麵粉.

 我沒有土司模, 就卷成長條型就可以了. 做好切片, 要怎麼吃, 隨意 ^_^

做出來的土司也是很軟的唷! 做麵包不必特地跑去烘培材料專賣店, 用到處都買得到的普通麵粉就行了, 哈哈!
這裡的烘培材料專賣店的材料都是大包裝小包, 沒標示牌子, 成份, 你想我會買嗎? 我也沒那閒功夫開車到10里外的專賣店 ......

A lot of people think that we need high gluten flour to make soft bread but it's ok for me to use normal flour which have about 9% proteins  to make the toast. Lately, I couldn't find any organic bread flour which I use to make bread. I am too lazy to look for it, so I just use whatever flour I have in my house. When I was learning how to make breads, I used normal flour. It won't sound strange to me.

 I don't have toast mold, so just shaped it into long oval. When it was ready to serve, just sliced it and all done.

P/s  I used unbleach flour and I did not add any artificial additives.

花生燕麥餅Peanut Oat Cookies

年過了才有時間做餅, 可真是沒"閒" .  我做的"曲奇" 牛油放得比較少, 這在配食譜的時候對我而言,  要想一下.  這個餅乾也沒放泡打粉或小蘇打.  做了兩盤, 第二天就吃完了, 應該是不錯吧 :)

小時候喜歡吃曲奇(cookies)多過餅乾(biscuits), 現在聞油色變, 肥滋滋, 算了吧! 下午茶, 吃個一兩片無傷. 想想油麵粉的比例是1:2 或2:3 (一般食譜), 就表示每吃一片就吃進去 1/2 或2/3 片的油, 要節制啊!

Cookies without baking powder, baking soda and less butter ... 

夢幻起司蛋餅 Fantasy Cheese Egg Rolls

大家好, 好久不見, 明天是周末, 想好要準備什麼早餐了嗎? 一份蛋餅, 再加上一杯咖啡好嗎? 喜歡起司的朋友們, 有沒有聞到起司味了? MyCook的蛋餅是無油的喔, (除了備鍋時的第一片). 如果用不沾鍋的話, 一點油都不需要.

不油的蛋餅, 腸胃負擔較小, 當早餐不錯又有飽足感. 

做基本蛋餅, 讓不喜歡起司的人, 可以不加, 喜歡的人就撒在表面就行. 好好吃喔!!

How are you? Happy Weekends to all. Have you think of what for tomorrow breakfast? How about the fantasy egg rolls with a cup of coffee?

For those cheese lovers, have you smelled of the cheese?

Mycook's egg rolls are oil less, except the first piece (a bit of oil added to the pan to make it unsticky). If you use non-stick pan, definitely you don't need to add any oil at all.

It's good to have it as breakfast. It's not oily and satiety.

You can make the  original egg rolls and let people choose whether they want to add cheese or not. If you like cheese, just spread it at the top of the egg rolls, yummy! 

味噌黃金豆腐 Miso Golden Doufu

2016 年的第一個貼文選了福氣的豆腐, 討個好兆頭, 祝福大家富富貴貴. 

黃金豆腐是將軟豆腐整型, 再淋上我特製的味增. 熱熱軟嫩的豆腐, 搭配香甜的材料, 與醬汁一口吃下, 一口再一口, 再一口 ....... 

First post in 2016, I chose doufu cuisine. "Fu" in Chinese sounds "Good Life". Wish you all have great and wonderful life. Happy New Year !!

Golden doufu use soft doufu and shaped with an egg layer. Let the Golden Doufu dip in my special miso sauce. One bite has a taste of  warm and soft doufu,  fragrant sweet fresh ingredients and the sauce. More bite? .....

雞肉咖哩叻沙 Chicken Curry Laksa

熱啊, 熱啊... 趁熱吃.. 大家都吃得好快. 都吃完了, 剛剛才吃完, 自家少油叻沙, 好吃嗎? 起鍋爆炒香料植物用了一點油, 就這樣而已. 椰奶有油質, 不需要再加油了. 香,香,香, 煮的時候更能享受到那個香氣.  家裡有小孩所以沒有煮很辣, 味道剛好.
天氣轉涼, 來一碗, 在家也有叻沙吃, 真好 ^_^

hot ! Let's eat while it's hot... They finished it so fast, all finished. I just finished eating too. How does it taste, the least oil laksa? After heating the wow, add a little oil to fry spice plants. No more oil is needed because coconut milk itself contains oil, why more? Oh, it smells good,  You'll have more pleasure to cook it because more fragrance coming out while cooking. It's not too spicy for kids. The taste is just nice.
The weather is getting cold. It's so good that we can have bowls of laksa in our own house.

番茄豆腐魚湯麵 Tomato Doufu Fish Soup Noodles

這魚原來熬煮後更美味, 濃郁的魚湯加上清新的豆腐和番茄, 真的棒,棒,棒! 還有蔬菜, 蛋卷, 這樣的午餐夠了 .....

The fish is nicer if cooked longer. The fish soup is rich, so nice to mix with the taste of tomatoes and doufu. Some more vegetable and egg rolls. I guess it's good enough for  lunch ...

牛肉丸米粉湯 Beef Ball Soup Rice Noodles

很久都不煮牛肉了, 想給家人補一補身子, 弄了牛肉丸. 這是小時候外婆常煮給我們強健身體的料理, 外婆其實是不吃牛肉和乳製品的, 為了我們的健康還是煮給我們吃. 不曉得她是怎麼煮的, 只好又是憑想像給它煮出來......

I didn't cook beef for long time. In order to strengthen the health for my family, I made some beef ball to cook soup and rice noodles. This dish was always cooked by grandmom to strengthen our health when I was a kid. My grandmom did not eat beef and dairy products. She cooked it just for our health. I do not know how she cooked. I cooked it out with my imagination ...... 

水餃手工面 Handmade Dumpling Noodles

剛買了另一個牌子的無漂白麵粉, 揉出來的麵糰有點帶黃,  筋度感覺比較低. 做麵條的手感還不錯, 做出來的麵條也很好, 煮久一點也不會爛, 所以, 要有嚼勁或軟一點自行決定. 

做了一些水餃,  和上次不一樣, 這次用有皺褶的包法, 皮做軟一點, 做不多就和面配著吃 ^_^

I just bought a new brand unbleached flour. After kneading, the dough is a bit yellow and less gluten. However, it's quite good to make noodles. You can boil a bit longer if you like soft noodles but I prefer they are a bit chewy.

 I tried to make some dumplings in different way, softer skin and folding. I made just a few and cooked them with the handmade noodles. :)  

水餃有約 Meet Dumplings

真的好久好久沒做水餃了, 久到都忘了上次煮是什麼時候. 這次做了雞肉包菜水餃. 水餃兩吃: 水餃 + 鍋貼 , 任君選擇. 

留學大學的時候常買了水餃當午餐, 好久沒吃有點忘了口感如何. 沒學過, 就憑吃過, 去尋找那個味道 ..... 當然, 最不會忘的是烏醋薑絲

煮了蕃茄豆腐湯搭配, 這樣的晚餐也很不錯 :)

It's been long time not cooking dumplings, long enough to forget when was the last time to cook it. I made chicken cabbage dumplings. Two choices for you, boiled and fried. 

When I was in University, I used to buy dumplings for my lunch. I have been not eating dumplings for long time, almost forgot how it tastes. I have not learned how to make dumplings. I just followed my feeling to try it out..... 

I cooked tomato doufu soup to go with dumplings. The dinner was fine with them .......

終於都輪到了巧克力出場, 剛烤出來真的熱呼呼, 香噴噴,  迫不急待要嚐. 柔軟的巧克力麵包, 也很快就吃完了, 成功!

Finally, it's turn for chocolate. I was so eager to try when it just taken out from the oven, hot and rich of chocolate fragrance. The soft chocolate bread was finished up quite fast. Yes! Success!

甜甜牛奶麵包Sweet Milk Bread

撒上砂糖, 再加上濃濃的奶香味, 想吃嗎? 原本做成螺旋狀, 覺得不是很好看, 弄個辮子的也不錯 .....

石磚拼圖蛋糕Brick Puzzle Cake

這是為樂兒童節準備的香橙味的小蛋糕. 獨創了一款石磚拼圖蛋糕, 可惜沒辦法拼成一個完整圖帶去, 這樣小朋友可能會覺得好玩些. 拆散了帶去就變成了奇形怪狀的小蛋糕, 用新鮮的雞蛋, 天然的水果香味, 蛋糕當然好吃, 可是, 好傷心喔, 收回了好多. 沒關係啦, 我們就像這樣, 解決掉了, 哈哈, 大家這樣子搶著吃, 樂也 !!

Orange flavor mini cakes special for children day. I invented a new style of cake, the Brick Puzzle Cake. What a pity, I was unable to bring a whole plate. It would be more fun for children to play the "Puzzles". After split them up, they all become weird shape mini cakes. The cakes is nice with fresh eggs and natural fruit flavor but a lot had been returned, a bit sad about this. It's ok. We just finished them like this. We had fun eating together either :)

蔬果起司螺旋, 文數字義大利麵Fruit Vegetable Cheese Fusilli, Alphanumeric Pasta

這是昨天的午餐, 今天是公定假日, 心情比較輕鬆一點, 才會有心思吶. 牛奶, 蔬菜, 起司煮成的湯汁, 香香, 鹹鹹, 一點甜甜. 加個蛋補充蛋白質, 新鮮的水果, 加上自種的薄荷葉, 增添香氣.

這樣好吃嗎?

Yesterday lunch, cheese pasta. Today is public holiday. I think I was more relax to prepare lunch. Milk, vegetable and cheese are the ingredients for the soup. It has nice fragrance, a bit salty, and little sweetness. Boiled egg to increase protein, fresh fruit, and mint leaves to add more fragrance, do you think it's yummy?

椰子面包 Coconut Bread

最近創作的椰子面包, 完全沒用到乳製品, 也沒有加油, 非常適合不喜歡奶味, 乳製品或對乳製品過敏的人, 也適合素食者.  很開心能夠想到什麼口味, 就能做出來, 不需要面包機, 不需要攪拌器. 只要有心情就可以了 :)

靜態圖片看不出面包的柔軟, 看影片吧!

You can't see how soft the bread is with the photo. Let's watch the video

種豆芽, 煮豆芽 Magic pot grows bean sprouts

聽說, 外面賣的豆芽"加料" 之後, 頭小身體胖. 不小心, 可能還會買到毒豆芽. 心血來潮, 將剩下的綠豆約半個米杯, 拿來發豆芽.

發豆芽其實很簡單, 注意基礎的兩項:

1. 要乾淨 2. 控制好水分, 這樣豆芽在發的過程中才不會爛掉

發豆芽步驟:

1. 準備乾淨的容器

2. 洗淨的綠豆放入容器浸泡 6- 8 小時

3. 沖洗綠豆 1 天 3-4次, 綠豆濕濕的就好, 不要浸泡

4. 等豆芽長到自己滿意的長度就可以收成了, 約需 3-4 天

I was told that the bean sprouts selling in market are added "something" to make the bean sprout stem grows "fatter" and the seed coat becomes smaller. We probably have bought some poison bean sprouts. It's time for me to start growing bean sprouts and I had some green beans(mung beans) left, about half cup of rice measurement cup, to grow.

It's quite simple to grow the bean sprouts. Just remember two important things:

1. Cleanliness 2. Control of the water, to avoid the bean sprouts become rotten.

Steps of growing beans:

1. Prepare a clean container

2. Wash the beans and put them into the container to soak for 6 to 8 hours.

3. Rinse the beans 3-4 times a day. After rinsing, don't soak the beans, just leave them moist.

4. Wait for the beans to grow and you can harvest if you think they are long enough. It normally takes 3-4 days.

第四天, 今天忍不住拿一些來炒, 口感棒極了, 又脆又香, 還可以咬到豆子, 又沒有一種怪味, 總之, 就是新鮮. 

Day 4, I couldn't wait to taste them. Took some and pan fried with garlic. They smell good and crunchy. The seed coats are nice to eat. I always love it. They don't have odd smell as the bean sprouts brought from the market either. They are so, so .... fresh!!

收成了, 有一小鍋哦, 放了冰箱2天, 拿出來要煮了

I got a medium pot of bean sprouts. They had been kept in the fridge for 2 days. I just got them out for cooking...

挑好, 洗淨

Pick and rinse for few times
