@d9dae: timezone setting?

One of the few easiest to make dishes, especially when you got children and old people in the house.

 

Just buy a few grams of minced lean meat. Throw in spoons of Oyster sauce & chinese wine mix it well. Put in fridge.

 

And when you need them. Stuff them onto shitake mushroom caps and put into the steamer.

 

Or roll into balls to make meat balls soup.

[GuiNNeSS]

And orange juice, steamed with any white fish fillet is interesting.

i know how to cook nothing.. i only know how to go out and buy my meals everyday..

Sweet sour pork.

 

I tried recreating my mother's recipe it in Houston Texas but it didnt turn out well. I wonder why.

 

Instead of flour batter. I am suppose to crush some soda crackers under a rolling pin and use it to coat the pieces of meat. Deep fry the meat pieces and only pour on the sweet sour sauce before serving.

 

Somehow...the soda crackers didnt stick to the meat peices, even though I use use beaten eggs to coat the meat already.

 

Any chef to suggest the reasons?

[scubasimon]

lightly dust some flour first, then egg wash, then the crackers will stick.

Sweet Sour Pork...

Very easy dish with quite a few ways of preparing it....

Hope You don't find me longwinded...lol

 

With regards to the cracker not sticking...

take corn flour & the crushed soda biscuit & mix them together, pour onto a flat tray.

Marinated the pork cubes in the way u like them.

Personally, I would add Hwa Teow wine (to kill the "pork smell"), sugar & soya sauce. not forgetting the eggs (depend on your portion 1 usually will do)

Marinate for 20 mins or longer if can. (Pork take in marination much better than chicken but always if possible pre-marinate the night before)

take the marinated pork cubes & coat them with the mixture of corn flour & crushed soda crackers on the flat tray.

 

ps: local style sweet sour pork cubes does not have crush soda cracker in it (just coat with corn flour, will do) thus I'm not sure U are doing that or preparing another dish like sweet sour pork cutlet or Hainanese pork chop

 

fry at high temperature (180 to 190 degree celius) in order to have a crispy texture that will last long also.

If not using a deep fryer or no thermometer is available....

estimate the temperatue by using a wooden chopstick.

dip it in & when bubbles form at the immersed tip....

it should be hot enough.

 

Finally the sauce has many ways of doing it....

different ppl different preferances

 

nonetheless....

U can either pour the prepared sweet sour sauce over the prok cube before serving (this method will make the crispeness last "longer")

or

throw in the fried pork cube into the sauce & stir fry till evenly coated

BUT MUST be served immediately if not it will lose it crispy texture & will taste mushy....

wat recipes u wan?

[d9dae]

I had a personal experience at Sarakwa where the dry maggi me was cook with the can Tuna !

 

What was new to me is that the dry maggi slowly soak up the rich tomato sauce but this took like 15 mins or so but the taste was fabulous ! with Charcoal not gas as the gas forcefully dry up the sauce instead of forcing the noodle to soak up the sauce !

[stwb1981]

wat recipes u wan?

 

I also don't know ...lol:cheeky:

most thai dishes i can prepare but maybe can have an even better or faster process receipe will do good...

 

Hmm really don't know where to start...lol

 

yo d9dae...

sound like maggi goreng style to me but with a twist...

from the way it is prep should be quite yummy but 15mins cooking maggi might make the noodles kinda soggy....

 

but with charcoal it might do the job as u said....

maybe let the thai chef start the ball rolling....

 

Most of the stuff i learn need me to use instant paste like green curry paste etc....

 

Wonder if there any do it from strach stuff...lol

 

but it is relatively easy if u get the tom yum goon chilli paste (mae poly) from Golden Mile Thai Supermarket....

 

Cheers !!!

Deutsche spätzle

German pasta which I learnt after trying one of the popular versions in Schweinfurt. Basically a widely popular dish with peasants. Cheap and easy to make. I make from flour and eggs. Not ready made from packaging.

 

Nihon Soba

Famous Japanese wheat noodle. Knead from whole wheat flour and water. A tedious process that requires a lot of patience. I spend about 2 hours making the dough to cutting it into strips from ground zero.

 

Maybe we ought to have a pot luck one day.

Anyone of you tried the Thai Green Papaya Salad mixed with the femented little crabs?

 

i wanted to try it, but was told that my stomach may not handle it, so I had to give it a pass.

 

The crabs I can see, some were still alive in the pail before they pull its legs apart to mix in to the salad.

if your stomach cannot take it,u can always ask for less chilli...there r 3 type of papaya salad first is "som tum thai" which they put in peanut sec is "som tum poo" which is with the preserve crab third is "som tum pla la" which is with femented catfish...i dun think u can see the crab alive as they need to be cure in vinegar before use.
