Steamed Pork with Salted Egg & Tofu

This is another quick, easy meal to prepare, especially during lunch time.

Ingredients

70g minced pork

1 salted egg

1 pack soft white tofu ( I buy those from supermarket)

1 bunch green shallot

1 cup chicken soup ( if you dont have, nvm, use chicken cube)

1. Mix the chopped green shallot with pork, seasoned them with little bit of salt & pepper.

2. Put all tofu on the plate, meat in the middle, slightly make the edge higher, so the egg can stay still in middle

3. Drop the salted egg in , and follow by 1 cup chicken soup on tofu.

4. Steam for 10-15 mins.

(Tips, I think is better we pinch the egg-yolk slightly flat, so that it is fully cooked)

Peach Yogurt Jelly Mooncake

caption: It's a dragon mold. I bought it from Consfood.

I m happy I experienced the 'process' of making a jelly mooncake. To whom who buy any jelly mooncake outisde, please finish it until the last bite! LOL! so hassel! so much patience have to put in! grr! Second thing is, have to ensure the consistency of both layers' texture! haha, u get what I mean? mine here, lol outside is soft but inside is quite hard! LOL! errr, I want both soft or both hard, HA HA! need more practice! nvm.. next year when I find other interesting recipes, then I will try :) I got this from a magazine " Oriental Cuisine, 107th Aug 2011, page 74-75. The original creation was "Strawberry Yoghurt Jelly Mooncake"

I dont think is nice to copy & paste their recipe here :) ( ya say me lazy! LOL)

Blend the fruits into puree until fine..

The 1st layer - the Filling. mixture of water, milk, yoghurt,agar agar powder, corn flour & peach.

Assemble process. Pour little bit of mixture into the mold until almost set ( but not fully set!!) otherwise later when u unmould, ur mooncake will split into 2! Lol. THen place the yoghurt filling into the center, follow by the remaining mixture, allow to set & unmould.

Bacon wrapped Okra

Here you go, I was attracted by Terri's Okra & Belly Pork Rolls . Immediately I thought of, why not try bacon wrapped Okra. The reason is, SIGH! I hardly goto market to buy fresh belly pork, i dont even have mirin at home.. the fastest way is use frozen bacon, to wrap my fresh okra! :D

It tastes really good, not dried at all. One Bite on the roll, chewy on the bacon but crunch & fresh inside. (argh, whatever description).

I cook some garlic fried rice as well. Pretty easy, Lightly browned the garlic, dish up, use the same wok/pan, immediately put in the rice and throw in an egg and quickly stir n mix. Sprinkle some salt & Pepper. Finish up with fried garlic & cut shallot. Ready to serve.

Ingredients

1 pack of okra

1 pack of frozen bacon

Method

a) Blanch the okra until just cook. dont cut any ends. Leave it cool

b) Roll each okra generously with bacon! :)!!!! I use 2 bacons for each roll.

c) Use a pan, no need put cooking oil, just line up all the okra wrapped with bacons and cook. Constantly turn around to prevent burnt on each side. Dish up, slice half and ready to serve.
