Yesterday when my husband and I were buying groceries in a supermarket, we noticed there was sale of king crab. Turkey is too big for us to have for Christmas, so a king crab sounds a good idea.
Today when I got up, the first thing I needed to do is to defreeze the king crab we bought. Then I disassembled it into several parts.
For the central body, I took the Shell off. Then picked the meat out. Heat a pan, melt a small piece of butter. Put the meat in. SautΓ© a bit. Add in 1 tablespoon flour. Quickly stir. Then add in 3-4 tablespoon milk. Stir slowly and evenly to let it reduce to white sauce. Put the crab meat white sauce into the shell. Sprinkle cheese. Put into oven ( 200 degree C, 8-10 mins) or till cheese melts.
Crab legs can be divided into three parts: thigh (fat end), middle parts and thin end parts.
For the fat thigh, I used them to cook spaghetti:
Heat a piece of butter in the pan. When melted, add in crab leg. Stir fry a bit. Then add in chopped garlic. Stir till aromatic. Pour in a little white wine. Simmer a little. Season with salt and black pepper. Add in chopped parsley and cooked spaghetti. Quickly stir evenly.
For the middle crab leg parts, I roast them with garlic butter. Put a small chunk of butter in a bowl. Add in chopped garlic, a little salt and pepper. Blend well. Cut half the shell off ( or even less). Then spread garlic butter onto meat. Put into oven. 180 degree C and 20 mins.
For the thin ends, I cut them into smaller pieces. Marinate with a little cooking wine and corn starch. Heat a little olive oil in the pan. Put the crab leg pieces in. Stir fry for 2-3 mins. Add in chopped ginger and spring onion. Quickly stir fry. Add in a little cooking wine, light soy sauce and oyster sauce. Quickly blend evenly and serve hot.
For the claws, I used them to cook light soup. Put crab claws, corn pieces, Chinese yam, mushroom, ginger shreds and spring onion pieces into a pot. Pour in 1 1/2 bowls of water. Turn to high heat. When water boils, put in salmon slices. Turn to middle heat and cook for 3 mins. Add in 1 tsp sweet cooking wine and salt. Cook for another minute.
And that’s it. Our Christmas feast made by a king crab.
Merry Christmas everyone!
I tried it several days ago and my husband loved it.
First, prepare marinade. In a sauce pan, add in several ginger and garlic slices. Pour in 50 ml cooking wine and 100 ml light soy sauce. Add in 3 tablespoon sugar and bay leaves. Turn on the stove and heat it till sugar melted. Then turn off the stove and set it aside.
For the chicken, here I used a half chicken. Use a toothpick to poke it several times so that marinade can work better.
Put chicken in a zip bag or a container. Pour the marinade in. Give it a good massage. Then put the lid on and put into fridge for overnight or even longer like one day or two days.
When it’s ready to cook, preheat oven to 190 degree C. Bake for 40 mins.
You can wrap the chicken wing with aluminum foil to prevent it getting burnt. ( I should’ve done that earlier).
One day, my husband chose a pack of Starbucks cocoa when we bought groceries in a supermarket. He was super excited because he kept thinking about a warm and yummy cup of cocoa. He immediately made himself a cup of hot cocoa when we reached home. Yet….he found itβs not as yummy as he thought. He always does things like that. At first heβs very excited and canβt wait to buy something but finds itβs not as good as he thought. =_=||
My principle is no wasting food in my kitchen. So I decided to make cocoa into brownies. And my husband is happy because he will feel less guilty in buying something he doesnβt like.
Oh. I found the recipe here:
Ingredients:
Butter 140g
Sugar 250g ( if you want it to be less sweet, you can reduce the sugar)
Cocoa powder 65g
Salt 1/4 tsp
Vanilla extract 1/2 tsp
Eggs 2
Flour 65g
Preheat oven to 160 degree C.
1. Combine butter, sugar, cocoa powder & salt in a bowl. Place the bowl in simmering water. Stir till smooth.
2. Set aside to cool down.
3. Add in vanilla and beat in eggs. Mix them well.
4. Add in flour and mix till just combined.
5. Pour batter into baking pan.
6. Bake for 20-25 mins. ( because I used my round shaped baking pan and itβs smaller than the size in original recipe. So it took me longer to get done, about 30-35 mins.)
Very moist and yummy. I love it.
My husband wanted to eat pineapple tart. So I bought pineapple paste from the supermarket. 1 kg a pack.
1. Divide pineapple paste into small balls. Around 6 g each.
2. In a bowl cream 325g butter ( softened) with 25g icing sugar.
3. Then add in 2 egg yolks, 2 tablespoon milk and 1/4 tsp vanilla. Mix well.
4. Add in 450g flour. Mix with hand till just combined.
5. Divide the dough into small balls. Around 10 g each.
6. Flaten the dough ball in hand. Put pineapple paste ball in the middle. Then wrap it up and roll between palms to make it into ball shape. ( for me, there were still some pineapple paste left).
7. Preheat oven to 180 degree C. Egg wash them and bake for 15-20 mins.
8. Egg wash them again and bake fore another 5 mins to get darker color.
So soft and melt immediately in your mouth.
My husband suggests me to open a shop and sell them. π
Original recipe:
I followed the recipe. But there was no unsalted butter in my fridge, so I used salted butter and deleted the salt from ingredients.
1/4 cup salted butter
4 oz white chocolate
2 medium banana ( mashed)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
Preheat oven to 180 degree C.
1. Put butter and white chocolate in a bowl. Then set the bowl in hot water. Melt them and mix them.
2. Add in sugar, banana, egg, egg, vanilla in order. Mix well before adding new ingredient.
3. At last add in flour. Mix till just combined.
Pour into baking pan. Bake for 15-20 mins. Check with toothpick before taking it out. Let it cool down completely and cut into squares.
My husband loved it very very much.
This is a very simple dish.
1. Marinate salmon with Thai sweet chili sauce in a container for at least one hour. The longer it takes, the better it will taste.
2. Preheat oven to 180 degree C. Line the salmon fillets on the baking paper.
3. Put into oven for 15 mins.
4. Pour a little sweet chili sauce over them and roast for another 5 mins.
5. Sprinkle freshly chopped spring onion and serve hot.
Yummy!
