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 ..

榛果醬饅頭 Hazelnut Spread Steamed Buns(Mantou)

甜甜巧克力味的榛果醬，讓平平淡淡的饅頭， 多了一個味道 。。。。

Sweet chocolate hazelnut spread makes the simple steamed bread has one more taste ......

簡易泰式酸辣湯Simple Tomyam Spicy And Sour Soup

酸辣湯麵 Tomyam Noodles

我在想菜名的時候，我其實不能放泰國或泰式，這根本是我憑感覺去煮的，想了一想， 還是把“泰式”加進來了。謝謝泰國的同學煮了他們家鄉的的泰國酸辣湯給我吃。雖然是好久以前的事，那是第一次的味道，我已經當成是指標了。在煮的過程，努力尋找那個味，感恩感謝不在話下。

回國后有嘗試煮，不過那時候用的是現成的Tomyam塊，現在沒什麽印象了， 大概也沒什麽值得記得。外面賣的Tomyam又酸又辣，對我而言，有點太刺激了。

回鄉時，同學給了瘋柑和葉子，哈哈，我有煮泰式酸辣湯的主材料啦。又是非常感謝同學夫婦 把自家種的瘋柑給我 ，非常符合我的田園烹飪風。

來個簡版酸辣湯吧，煮了麵。有辣有酸，但吃了不會刺激腸胃。

後來，想吃海鮮酸辣湯， 就煮了酸辣蝦湯。

酸辣蝦湯 Tomyam Prawn Soup

What should I name it? Tomyam?  It's only a spicy and sour soup which I followed my sense to cook. I finally used the "TomYam" word to thank my Thai classmate who had cooked me her home country famous spicy and sour soup. Although it was long time ago, it was also my first taste  of TomYam soup. I felt  so grateful and thankful when I tried to find the taste of it while I was cooking the soup.

I tried to cook when I came back to my home country. I used tomyam cube. Nothing so special to have me recalled how it was. Tomyam sold at the food stalls is too spicy or sour to me sometimes.

When I backed to my home town, my classmate gave me some kaffir limes and leaves. They are the main ingredients of TomYam soup. I guessed it's my good chance to try cooking TomYam. I need to thank my classmate and his wife for giving me their precious kaffir limes and leaves which they grown.

I made a simplest spicy and sour soup and cooked with noodles. You will have taste of spicy and sour but mild to the stomach.

Later, when I felt like to have some seafood spicy and sour soup. I cooked  Tomyam Prawn Soup.

超軟蘿蔔牛奶100%全麥麵包Super Soft Carrot Milk Whole Wheat(100%) Buns

說到全麥，是很有挑戰性的。 他可能很硬，也可能味道沒那麽香。做的不好，可能吃起來像發糕。可是想到他比精緻高筋麵粉更好，還是要很努力去克服。

基本上如果沒添加，我用有機全麥粉，不會有像高粉那樣的筋度，也沒辦法包住空氣，所以不會發得很蓬。如果選擇吃全麥麵包，首先 你就得接受，他的口感一定不會和軟麵包一樣。其實，要吃健康的手工麵包，千萬不要和市面上的麵包相比。

這次做的麵包很軟，100%全麥， 很好。我最近沒去采購，用了簡單的材料。要口感更好， 可以加葡萄乾，蔓越莓乾，堅果等， 這樣也可以加些營養。

When talking about "whole wheat", it's really a challenge. The bread made of whole wheat can be hard and not so tasty. It could be taste like "Fa-Gao"(Chinese Steamed Cake) if something goes wrong. However, with the thought that it's better than fine high-gluten flour, I still should try harder.

Basically, without additives, I use organic whole wheat flour, it won't have much gluten as high-gluten flour and unable to wrap up the air, so it won't inflate much. If you choose to eat whole wheat bread, bear in mind, you should accept it won't taste like soft bread in first place. Little remind, never compare those healthy hand made bread with those sold at the bakery shops.

O! I can make it soft. I used 100% whole wheat flour this time. Good! Recently, I did go for shopping so I used simple ingredients. To make it taste better, you can add some raisins, dried cranberries ,nuts and etc. This will add more nutrition as well.

茉香綠茶饅頭Jasmine Green Tea Steamed Buns(Mantou)

好吃，好吃，好軟，好軟，沒做多，連造型也省略了。這才符合現代忙碌生活的飲食，哈哈
Soft， tasty, and simple shape. I  made only one big plate. Cut down the time of preparing food is a good practice of busy life style :)

香蕉葉烤雞 Banana Leaf Baked Chicken

今晚吃什麽？~香蕉葉烤雞 + 滷蛋 + 清炒蔬菜

太多太多照片來不及上載，今天介紹的晚餐要家裏的“道具”幫幫忙，讓我們可以少累一點。鑊，鍋子，烤箱待命！

先準備好材料， 煮好蛋，鷄肉加入調味料腌製

1. 先煮鹵汁，加入煮好的水煮蛋，就可以交給鍋子，慢火煮。

2. 去院子剪了香蕉葉，鋪在烤盤，放入腌好的鷄肉，就可以交給烤爐。

3. 等差不多要開飯時，就可以炒菜了。

看似簡單，但準備材料，才是最累人的，把食物弄熟10到15分鐘，而備菜遠遠超過這個時間。因爲備菜很累，所以，把食物弄熟的這個步驟就交給鍋子，烤箱啦 ：）

What for dinner？

Banana Leaf Baked Chicken + Spiced Strewed Egg + Pan Fried Vegetable

Today I would like to talk about how kitchen wares help to prepare dinner. Wok, pan and oven please get ready.

Prepare the ingredients, boil the eggs, marinate the chicken with seasoning .

1. Cook the sauce. When the boiled eggs are ready, add the sauce, then you can hand over to the pan to cook the eggs with low heat.

2. Cut the banana leaves from my garden, lay them on the grill pan and fill up with the marinated chicken. Now, you can pass it the oven.

3. Pan fry the vegetable just before the to start dinner.

Preparing the to cook always consumes more effort than cooking. When I am tired, I let the cook wares to do their job. Thus, I can steal some time to sit down. 

田園米粉~長豆素炒米粉Garden Long Bean Fried Rice Noodles

院子的長豆結了， 還不錯，比上次進步了， 收成好幾條。加上一些院子采摘的香料葉，弄個素炒米粉， 就有一個很對得起自己的午餐了。

Backyard had grown more long beans this time. I guess I have some improvement of growing long beans. Plucked some long beans and herbs to cook fried rice noodles, is a wonderful thing to make myself a lunch..

香菇鷄鷄肉包Mushroom Chicken Steam Bread

超白的包子， 細細軟軟的，看了就不想吃， 想吃包子的時候，就弄一些較健康的的吧，是很花時間，準備内陷再加上要做包子皮，所以，不能常做。

自己做包子，内陷也可以很隨意。

When I see the "super" white, the texture is tight and soft, I can only imagine how much additive is added. Thus， when I feel like to have some steam bread what we call it "bao" or "BaoZi", just make it healthier with healthy recipe.

Yes, it is very time consuming. From preparing the fillings to making the dough and shaping, it takes a lot of time, so I can't always make it, although it is a very good fast food. If you have some kept in the freezer, just take it out and steam it for 10 to 15 minutes and your meal is ready.

Homemade baozi is good to let you add any ingredients for the fillings.

寫到英文稿的時候才發現一直被我當成是“點心”的包子， 其實， 原來是名副其實的快餐。有能填飽肚子的麵皮，含有蛋白質的肉類或鷄蛋，還有蔬菜，把内陷包著拿去蒸，營養不流失， 又容易儲存，想想以後可以多做包子 ^_^
