Organic Meat Steak and Cheese Pie Recipe

Image
If you are a host of this coming Christmas party, sticking to the mantra "more than enough" is always the safest bet. One of the worst thing that could happen to any good host is is finding out that you're running low on food when the party is just getting into full swing. Steaks in fact, are good choices to kick start your next soiree. Easy and hassle free, this also encourages friendly conversation, being less structured than a sit-down meal and at the same time, your guests would appreciate the gradual build-up of different nuances, smoky aroma and flavors. Instead of throwing a shrimp on the grill or barbecue, how about slices of delectable, perfectly marbled and always tender beefy parts like rib eye, porterhouse, tenderloin, New York strip, flatiron, bavette, skirt or hanger steaks?

Casserole Roasted Chicken with Garlic, Lemon and Watercress Salad Recipe

Image
I came across this comedy-drama film Julie & Julia while scouring the world wide web sometimes ago and it did pique my interest to find out more about the film. Written and directed by Nora Ephron , the film depicts events in the life of chef Julia Child in the early years in her culinary career, contrasting her life with Julie Powell , a frustrated secretary, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes from Child 's cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking during a single year, 2002. Powell then blogs her daily experiences and gaining a loyal following along the way. Though separated by time and space, both women are at loose ends until they discover that with the right combination of passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible. Meryl Streep has received many positive review for her performance as Julia Child in the film. At her beguiling best, Meryl Streep is playing our idea of Julia Child more elusively and more truthfully. If you are Jul...

How to Make Ikan Assam Pedas (Spicy and Sour Tamarind-Flavored Fish) | Easy Asian Cooking

Image
Yesterday I made this Nyonya dish as a weekday night dinner. Once I sank my teeth into this bowl of ikan assam pedas, I was mesmerised and overwhelmed. Yeah, for those who adore Penang asam laksa (sour fish-based soup with noodles) , you will definitely head over heels in love with this. Tastewise, both bears a strong resemblance, which flavor is predominantly perked up by ginger flower and polygonum. My hubby is not much of tamarind-soured soup addict, so he can't vouch for its taste. Well, it's up to you if you are going to believe my verdict or not. Ikan assam pedas (literally translated as spicy and sour tamarind-flavored fish) is one of the epitome of Malaysian fare. While the saltwater fish ( Chubb mackerel, Spanish mackerel, Threadfin or Stingray are commonly used) is the centerpiece of this dish, others secret ingredient are polygonum (daun kesum ???), ginger flower (bunga kantan ???), lemongrass (??), red...

How to Make Sambal Belachan and Sambal Petai | Easy Asian Cooking

Image
Sambal Belachan and Sambal Petai Whilst my hubby and I found this irresistable famous nyonya cuisine intriguing, some detest petai bean due to its stinky and peculiar smell. Well, petai is like durian, whether you adore it or abhor it, there's no ambivalent or in between. Luckily we both are on the same wavelength on the tastebuds, else one'd have to tolerate with the other's preference when it comes to meal preparation. The dish highlights the petai in itself by pairing it with this spicy sambal belachan, a stinky but luscious Malaysian condiment made from shrimp paste, red chilli peppers (fresh or/and dried), shallots, garlic, dried shrimp, lemongrass and also some tamarind juice to flare up the sourness. Just a reminder, hours after the petai, your excretions will have a very pungent petai odor - stinky urine, smelly breath or burp, strong-smelling flatulence et cetera. Despite this, it should not serve as a deterrent for n...

How To Make Tom Yum Soup With Shrimp and Fish

Remember tangy Thai Tom Yam (Tom Yum) fish , a clear, spicy and sour soup?

And voila! I found this Tom Yum soup video with a nice and rejuvenating background song - "Right Here Waiting" by Bryan Adams ( Written by : Richard Marx) . Enjoy!

Penang Asam Laksa (Sour Fish-based Soup with Noodles) Recipe | Easy Asian Cooking

As Penang asam laksa (spicy noodle soup from Peranakan culture, usually served with thick rice noodles) top my food craving list, I always scout for this recipe online and today I am ecstatic to find this Penang asam laksa  video from YouTube which traces its origin back to trymasak.my. Since the recipe was written in Malay, I translated it into  English for a wider reach. There're two variants of laksa , namely curry laksa and asam laksa . Curry laksa ( coconut-based curry soup with noodles) is more commonly known in Kuala Lumpur or Singapore whilst asam laksa (sour fish-based soup with noodles) is more popular in Penang . Between the two, I'd veer on the latter version which acquires the sour taste from tamarind (or asam in Malay ) which right away aroused my taste buds bringing forth a subtle drool. Having said so, I'm going to feature this Penang asam laksa recipe from TryMasak here in no time. Ingredients : 1 packet of dried la...

Stir-fried Bean Curd with Minced Meat Recipe

Image
Home-cooked Stir-fried Bean Curd with Minced Meat A variant of steamed bean curd with minced meat and preserved radish . Instead of steaming the beancurd (tofu) with minced meat and preserved radish toppings, this recipe is calling for beancurd to be deep-fried for delicious crispiness before topped with minced meat and shitake mushroom mixture which is mingled well with seasoning and reduced for a scrumptious sauce.  Texturally different, you'll have a soft, crumbly and squishy bean curd interior and crisp-tender exterior, which is nicely balanced by the richness of the accompanying lumpy sauce and the earthiness of shitake mushroom and minced pork belly. Sprinkling of chopped spring onions add a final green touch to the dish, making the dish a feast for the eye and the palate. Here's the how-to recipe to help you embark on the realm of bean curd. Here you go! ???????? Ingredients : 1 box Chinese -style soft bean curd (soft tofu) 1/2 onion, ...

Vietnam-style Fried Shrimp Paste Chicken (Har Jiong Gai) Recipe | Easy Asian Cooking

Image
Vietnam-style Fried Shrimp Paste Chicken ("Har Jiong Gai") ??? Fried chicken goes global. From Korean -style garlic fried chicken, Japan -style toriniku tatsuta-age, Indonesian -style ayam penyet, Thai -style fried chicken to Vietnam -style "har jiong gai ???" (fried shrimp paste chicken), the crispy skin and moist white meat literally make the world go round.

You have to let it marinates for minimum 2 hours and long enough to allow the mixture of strong salty taste of th...

Marked by the exchange of heart-warming gifts and gestures of affections, Christmas is a well-loved and much-anticipated date on our calender of events. And naturally year-end festive shopping seems to be a part and parcel of this coming Christmas. For me, instead of going to huge traffic-clogging shopping centres for unconsious, life-wrecking constant buying sprees and a retail frenzy, I like to canvass online stores and spot my comfort-spending gift. I think this is the best defence to stop the vicious cycle for being an emotional and compulsive shoppers that leaves you looking like a bag lady. Through online purchase, I tend to be very cautious, compare the price wisely and purchase once there's a seasonal sales. I finally narrowed down my Christmas gift to a few choices, among others is gourmet chocolate from Cafe Britt , Cocoa lover gift box  and  Gourmet chocolate sampler. As far as chocoholics, myself included, are concerned, there's ...
