3 Cup Chicken

The Taiwanese have a famous dish called the 3 Cups Chicken and I have always wanted to try it, which I finally did! The result is quite good I reckon, but there is always room for improvement, i.e. the picture taking skills...



Ingredients:
500g Chicken meat, preferably with fat
2 bunch of fresh Basil Leafs
1 cup Vegetable Oil
1 cup Chinese Cooking Rice Wine
1 cup Light Soy Sauce
4 cloves Garlic
2 slice Ginger


Method:
1. Heat up a wok on intense heat. Add in chopped Garlic and Ginger, fry until aromatic. Add in Vegetable Oil. Stir fry until pungent.
2. Add in Chicken Meat, stir fry until all meat is coated with oil, cover with lid for a few minutes.
3. Remove lid, add in Light Soy Sauce and stir fry. Turn to low heat.
4. Cover with lid again and braise for a few minutes until sauce starts to reduce.
5. Remove lid, add in Wine, stir fry and cover with lid again for another 2 minutes.
6. Remove lid and add in the Basil leafs this time, stir well. Cover with lid again to allow all the tastes to be released. Done. Serve hot.


Notes
1. The notion of 1 cup is arbitary, as long as the proportion of the 3 main things, are at the ration of 1:1:1
2. Bare in mind that this is a oily and salty dish, it is the way it is, not made up by me.
3. For best results use a claypot, it will help to maintain the heat and flavour better..
4. The end result should have a very pungent and aromatic smell upon removal of lid, thanks to the Basil leaf. Use sesame oil for even pungent scent.

Roast Pork

I bought a piece of pork, which I do not know the name of the part, looks very similar to Pork Belly, but it was not (the price justifies that). Hence I thought roasting it, for a couple of reasons. First, I never tried roasting pork, or making the renown "Xiew Yok" anyway, so I thought that this is a good opputunity to try it; and secondly, because I felt like eating Roasted Pork. lol Anyway, here goes...

Ingredients:
1kg Pork Belly
2 tbsp Sea Salt
2 tbsp Rice Vinegar

Marinade:
1 pc red fermented Bean Curd
1 tbsp Chopped Garlic
1 tbsp Chopped Ginger
1 tbsp Chinese Shao Xing Rice Wine
1 tbsp Mix Spice Powder
2 tbsp Salt
2 tbsp Sugar

Method:
1. Wash and clean the pork thoroughly, pat dry with kitchen towel. Score the back of the meat diagonally and horizontally. Rub Sea Salt all over the meat.

2. Rub the marinade thoroughyl into the meat, especially those score grooves. Leave for at least 30 minutes, the longer the better.

3. Roast the pork in preheated oven at 220C for 20 minutes. Make sure the skin side faces up. Remove from oven and prick all over the skin with a sharp instrument. i.e. fork.

4. Brush the skin with a good coat of Rice Vinegar. raost again in oven for another 20-30 minutes or when small little pop-up bubbles form on the skin of the pork. Leave to cool for about 15 minutes before chopping to serve.

For best results, Pork Belly is the best meat to use. Thanks Little Guy Bid Kitchen for the recipe, I modified it a bit, and the sauce is my own secret to keep...lol

Lotus are Beautiful, their Roots are delicious

On my trip to the city the other day, I came across some pre-packed lotus roots and I couldn't resist buying a couple of them, despite the fact that they are not as good as the fresh ones. However, I only came to realise that I should have bought some other ingredients from city as well to make a hearty Lotus Root Soup, which apparently I didn't and there was not much I can do about it. Fortunately, with the limted food stock in the refrigerator and the kitchen's cabinet, I manage to pull something out of it...

2. Drain the dried shrimp and lightly fry in a heated empty wok. Add in chopped garlic and ginger to fry before adding vegetable oil.
3. Add in the lotus root slices, stri fry for a couple of minutes before adding in the sliced carrots.
3. Add seasoning to taste, bring to boil after adding the rice wine. Stir in the peanuts. Done.

The Longed Spare Ribs

It took me some time to find the so called 'spare ribs' that we use to have back in Malaysia, most of the butchery here do not sell it and some do not classify it as spare ribs, it goes into the 'bone' category i reckon. But Anyway, I FOUND THEM! They can only be found at a butchery near Paddy's Market, that's a bit sad huh? Means that it can't be found on the menu frequently, well, hopefully a taste in once in a blue moon is enough.


It took me some time to think how to cook the spare ribs, most of the ways required some ingredient that was not easily found in grocerry shops and markets, even if there was, it would be quite costly. But anyway, finally decided to cook it like my mom does. But I modified some of the procedures, as I was, partly busy, and other than that, lazy... HaHa

Ingredients:

1kg Pork Spare Ribs
50g Black Woody Fungus
2 cloves garlic
2pc Bean Curd Sticks (Fu Chok)
2tsp Sugar
2pc Lump Sugar
4tbsp Vegetable Oil

1pc Fermented Bean Curd
1tbsp Mix Spice Powder
1tbsp Corn Flour
1tbsp Black Pepper
2tbsp Chinese Rice Wine
2tbsp Light Soy Sauce

Method:

1. Marinate the spare ribs for at least an hour.
2. In a heated pot, add 3tbsp Vegetable Oil and lightly fry the Bean Curd Sticks, broken into smaller pieces earlier.
3. Add in the Black Fungus and sugar to cameralized it, followed by the garlices.
4. Add another tbsp of Oil, followed by the Spare Ribs, stir slowly until the rins begins to change colour.
5. Fill the pot with water just enough to cover the meat, throw in the lumps sugar, close lid and leave to simmer over low heat for at least 30 minutes to 45 minutes.

Salty Curium Chicken

It was a nice Sunday afternoon and my friends asked me over to their place to prepare a dish and have lunch together. I did not have any idea on what to prepare initially, but finally decided to go wild on my imaginations. Back in Malaysia, Salty Curium Chicken was a famous dish, but I did not know exactly how other people made it. Hence, I came out with my own version of it...



Ingredients:

1 whole chicken

1/2 cup Coconut Milk

3 stems Spring Onion

1 inch Ginger

50g Black Pepper Corn

500g Crystallized Sea Salt

Method:
1. Marinate the Chicken in Coconut Milk for about 30-45 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 250 degrees Celcius.

3. Roughly chop the spring onion and ginger and stuff inside the chicken.

4. Roughly crush the Pepper Corn and fry them together with the Sea Salt in a heated wok.

5. Prepare a tray with aluminum foil placed in tact. Lay a layer of Pepper Corn and Sea Salt when the aroma is pungent enough. Place the chicken on top. Cover with the remaining Sea Salt and Pepper.

6. Wrap the chicken in aluminium foil and curium in oven for at least 45 minutes at 250 degrees Celcius. Done. Unwrap and serve hot.

*Lightly scrape off the Sea Salt and Pepper Corn before serving.

Well, I cannot say that the recipe is perfect, there is still room for improvement. I think I already know how to do it the correct way, as what people make for selling to others. But that will have to wait till next time...

Japanese Feastathon

My mates and I decided to go to the city at night on Friday to chill out a bit and enjoy some good food. Initially, we wanted to go Star City again, but obviously, time was jealous of us and would not let us go further than spending our time in feasting. If you guys do come to Sydney and wanna let yourselves wild on feasting Japanese cuisine, this one is really a good one, you can't call it perfect, but it's really worthy.


The you go, I think most people who are familiar with Sydney would know this restaurant, quite a number of my mates have visited the place, besides vegos (no offence!HaHa), I think the feedback is relatively good.





Well, the place is not really big, it's just a typical shop lot, offering heaps of goodies inside! Wait till you check out the things served...















As you can see...small place but constantly packed! We waited for some time that night, due to the fact that we did not place a booking earlier...Luckily the food is worthwhile the waiting!


Oh yea! I forgot to mention, the reason of the place being such a big hit is the fact that, it is buffet style! So you can eat as much as you can, and for those small eaters, sorry to say thism but it won't be worth it. Haha

Getting the picture yet?
















A lot huh? There was actually even more! But I just couldn't be bother anymore, my hands and mouth was busy moving about grabbing food and consuming them that I totally forgot to take the pictures of the food... Briefly, there was salmon sashimi, red tuna and ebi sushi (and many others which I do not know their names, but tasted great!), mussels (fresh and big ones!), miso soup, udon, soba, dessert etc! I wish I took all of the picture so that they could talk for themselves, but apparently that is not the case...



Anyway, check out the group photos...
















Haha, special thanks to Joon Wayn, or not no one would be taking the picture, and because of that, he's not in the photo, your contribution to my blog is appreciated! HeHe, let you play my guitar longer... lol

From left, Lip Son, me, derrick and her girlfriend, who came all the way from Malaysia.


Considering everyone's stomach was at the brink of bursting, we decided to take a small walk at Hyde Park before fetching the bus, check the memorial behind Joon Wayn and me, always wondered what it is, HaHa...


The other one is Lip Son with me with the scene of the waterfront opposite the memorial.



A memorable night! Everyone was satisfied with the food and we had a great time feasting! Check out the place if you have not done so!

Stir-Fry Bassa with Bean Paste Sauce

A lot of people tend to relate fish fillet to deep frying and Fish 'n' Chips. But let me state it clear, there are a lot more that you can do with them, for instance, the easiest way, is simply to stir-fry them!

Having said that, a lot of people would then question, but wouldn't that spoil the texture of the meat? You must fry it before you can stir-fry it, or not it will be come scramble fish!

"Wrong! I say" That is not necessarily the case. Well, today I went grocery shopping and I found some nice Bassa fillets at Coles' fresh meat department, and so I decided I to test my hypothesis. (To others that is, I personally knew that it can be done, at least my mom has done that for countless times.) Well, here are the ingredients:

500g Bassa Fillet (about 2 1/2 piece of fillet)
One Brown Onion
1/2 Red Capsicum
1/2 Green Capsicum
2 cloves of Garlic
3 thin slices of Ginger
5tbsp Vegetable Oil
2tbsp Yellow Bean Sauce
2tbsp Sugar

Marinate:

1 tbsp Corn Flour
2 tbsp Plain Flour
2 tbsp Sesame oil
2 tbsp Chinese Shao Xing Wine
2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
2 tsp Sugar
2 tsp Lemon Juice
3 tsp Salt
3 tsp Black Pepper









Method:

1. Slice the Bassa fillets diagonally and bring to marinate. Leave aside for 10-15 minutes.
2. Chop the Capsicums and Onions into petals.
3. Heat up the oil in a wok, add in the fillets and roughly stir-fry tll partially cooked. Bring up and leave the remaining oil in the wok.
4. Add the brown onions and capsicums into heated oil, followed by the fine chopped ginger and garlic. Add sugar to get the cemeralization and bring out the fragrance of the ingredients.
5. Add in the fish again and stir-fry thoroughly, stir in the bean sauce about 5 minutes before the dish is done or when you do not see anymore red or raw spots on the fish. Bring to boil, serve hot.

Indonesian Night Market

Let's reinterpreate it, Indonesian Food Market? Hahaha, the event last night drew a huge crowd, with the visitors ranging from fellow Indons to asians and even whites! Yes, anyone would call it a success I think? Hahaha...




A couple of bands actually performed, each for for a short period, which continuosly drew attention of hundreds of people while they were eating while standing, talking to their mates etc. Ofcourse, these bands were the spotlights of cameras and video recorders, luckily not many people use film camera nowadays...


Hmm, everyone was busy buying queing up to get their own food, with the Indonesian taste ofcourse. The storeowners on the other hand was busy packing and attending customers, it was a hectic night, but everyone seem to be enjoying...

Now what's that queue of people up to? hmm...




Ahhah! SATAY!!! Indonesian style that is, no wonder...


There was really a lot of food, much of it which I do not know what are they called, though they had their names written on sign boards, wasn't much of my concern anyway, Haha! However, a lot of it is quite similar to what you would find back in Malaysia, like apam balik, kuih, goreng-gorengan, bakmi etc. Too bad my photography skills are not that up to standard to picture them all to post it here... Nevertheless, the function of food was and is always to draw peolpe to gather together...

Hence, let's look at the gathering of some familiar faces, haha...

Hehe. see them? It's Kum Tak and Lee Shean, trying to avoid the camera, haha...

See that couple behind? Livee and Fui Kiat! So into eating their stuff... Delicious huh?

Wait, what about me?

Thanks to Ryan for his photography skills, managed to get a good one of me...Hehe

Anyway, I am still figuring out how to upload large amount of pictures...Maybe I'll use Flicker or something...Hmm...Till next time...
