干烧明虾

Shrimp with chili sauce. One day when i wnet to store, I found really big and nice fresh shrimp.

This shrimp with chili sauce just poped into my head and, here you are...

tom yam kung

It does not look like Tom Yam Kung.. but the taste was ok...

I remember the day in Oxford, England. When I was in Oxford in 1998(?), I met a guy from Thailand. I do not remember how we've met. But we became good friend, and one time, he took me to the Thai restaurant.. He told me they had the best Thai food in Oxford. And it was ture. I never tased Thai food at that time. He have ordered me all kinds of good deliciouse Thai dish, and it was the first time to taste Tom yam kung. It was really interesting taste, i thought.. i could taste all the spices, and distinctive smell was wonderful experience.

I always remind him when I eat Thai food... I do not remember his name or his e-mail address anymore... I should have be more nicer..... at least to remember his name... humm.

Salmon and white cream sause with rice... and cheeeeese♪

I am really busy these days. But you got to eat, right? I go home around 9pm or sometime 10pm, and think about what to eat tonight is bit hard.... These days, I only cook from my easy recipe book. I like mushroom, (autumn is a mushroom seaso in Japan)and I haven't eaten fish for more than 2 weeks, so.. i thought... mushroom and fish.... hummm... I went to supermarket, and search around what to eat. And I found really nice salmon, so... I cook this dish tonight.

Its really easy to cook.

First, you cook fried rice with broccoli and lot of mashrooms. I used shimeji mushroom. Put salmon into the oven for about 5 minutes. Put salmon on top of the fried rice. Make white sauce. Put white sauce on to of the salmon, and put cheese on top... then put it into the oven until the cheese gets nice and gold.

Tataaaa

Done!

You only need 25 minutes to cook this dish. Its hot, creamy and really tasty!

(yes, i need tabasco when I eat cheesy dish) haha

Omurice - One of popular Japanese dish

This dish called Omurice. Originally born in Osaka, Japan.

Chicken rice is wrap around with egg. and this time, I used demiglace sauce on top of Omurice. You can use just tomato sauce, white sauce, or maybe hot chilly sauce is sound good to me.

1 green peppers (if you like)
4 white mushrooms (if you like)
4 tbsps ketchup
salt and pepper to season
1 tbsp vegetable oil

How to Cook:
1. Dice chicken, green pepper, mushrooms, and onion.

2. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and saute diced chicken. Add diced onion, mushrooms,and green pepper in the frying pan and saute together.

3. Add steamed rice in the pan and mix well. Sprinkle some salt and pepper.

4. Stop the heat and add ketchup and mix well.

5. Heat another frying pan and put some vegetable oil.

6. Whisk an egg in a bowl and pour the egg in the frying pan. Quickly spread the egg in the frying pan andmake a thin, large, and round omelet.

7. Place chicken rice in the middle of the omelet and fold top and bottom sides of omelet over the chicken rice.

8. Cover the frying pan with a plate and turn them over to place the omerice in the plate.

9. Repeat step 7-11 to make four plates of omurice.

10. Put some ketchup on top of omurice. (try your favorate sauce)

This is one pan cooking. And its really easy. You lay out the veges you like... anything.. I put onion, mashrooms, pumpkin, carrot, and potato. Then you lay fresh salmon on top of the veges. Add about 3 table spoon of butter in to the pan. Llid on a pot of a frying pan and bake it in the roaster by medium fire for around 15 minutes. Done! oh, solt and pepper, and soy sauce if you like. ^^ (Butter and soy sause make a unique oriental harmoney ..I think)

This is what I ate in New Zealand

you know what? I realized I have a lot of picture to show you.. so I will add and show you one at the time when I add cooking blog. I will have little space, and tell you about the wonderful dish I had in NZ. ^^

And I will also add people I met in NZ to my other blog. Don't miss it!

Dukkah

Dukkah is an Egyptian spice blend and is just wonderful. The more you eat it the more addictive it becomes. Serve with toasted crusty bread (Turkish bread is great for this), and olive oil(good good oil, any good oil go with dukkah. I recomend to used avocado oil, extra vergin oil. Have to be good one.) Dip bread into olive oil, then into the Dukkah and enjoy this unique and addictive mix.

I met this Dukkah when I was visiting New Zealand. I found mixed spices, and my hostmother show me how to enjoy this. It is really good with your favorate alchole drinks. I am addicted to this recently, and I already eaten all the mixed dukkah from NZ, so I need to make some. I found some recipe, so.. I will try to make it someday. Maybe you can find some import spice store. Egyptian spice! Really good. I enjoy this with my lemon flavored cocktail( I love lemon, lime, orange flavored drinks). I use avocado oil for my Dukkah.

*Recipe**
Selected headnotes: Egyptian street vendors sell small paper cones with the unique dukkah blend, along with strips of pita bread. Customers then dip the bread into the vendor's bowl of olive oil and then their dukkah.

1/2 cup hazelnuts
1/4 cup coriander seeds
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon fennel seeds1 teaspoon dried mint leaves
1 teaspoon salt

Heat a heavy skillet over high heat, add the hazelnuts, and dry-toast until slightly browned and fragrant, being careful that they don't burn. Remove from the heat and cool completely. Repeat the procedure with each of the seeds and the peppercorns. Allow each of them to cool completely.
Place the nuts and seeds, along with the mint and salt, into a mortar and pound until the mixture is crushed. Or pulse in a food processor to a coarse consistency; do not allow the mixture to become a paste.

Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 1 month

I also love his kitchen too. In Japan, his chooking show starts around 8pm to 9pm. I go home around 8:30, and I just go up to my TV and turn on! Enjoy his talk and his cooking untill 9pm.. then, my turn to cook. Its really tiring to cook after hard work.. especially coming home around 9 is .... bad. I missed his show tonight.
