Teppantaki Steak With Vegetables

Sprinkle salt and black pepper over steak and let it rest for 5-10 mins.

Heat cast iron skillet on a stove. Add in a little olive oil.

When skillet is very hot, lay steak in it. Fry each side for around 2 mins.

Cut in a small piece of butter. Also add in 2 or 3 cloves garlic and thyme.

Fry each side for 3 mins. At the same time, use a spoon to scoop melted butter and pour over the uncooked side.

Place steak in a plate and let it rest for a while.

Leave the rest oil in the pan. Put vegetables in skillet. I chose onion, asparagus and mushroom. Stir fry till vegetables turn softened. Add in 1/2 tsp light soy sauce, 1/2 tsp cooking wine and 1/2 tsp sugar. Stir fry for another 2 or 3 mins.

Dish vegetables out in a plate and cut steak into medium chunks and spread them over vegetables.

Stir Fried King Oyster Mushroom

I cooked this dish when I stayed with my family in China during holidays and my family loved it, especially my father.

I used 4 vegetables: garlic ( a little), king oyster Mushroom, carrot and bell pepper.

1. Heat a little oil in the pan. Add in garlic slices and stir fry a bit. Put in carrot slices. Stir fry till carrot turns a bit softened.

2. Add in king oyster Mushroom slices. Stir fry. Water will come from Mushroom. Just keep stir frying till water all gone.

3. Put in bell pepper slices. Stir fry a bit.

4. Add in oyster sauce( I added 1 tsp). Stir fry evenly. If the dish still tastes a bit light, you can add a little salt. If it tastes ok, it’s done.

Tempura 


It’s an easy dish to cook without much preparation.

1. Make batter. I used tempura flour. Please read the instruction about the ratio of water and flour.

2. Prepare prawns ( remove head and shell but leave the shell on the tail). Cut vegetables into slices. I recommend carrot, eggplant, mushroom and French beans. French beans can be just cut into medium pieces.

3. Heat the oil in a deep pot. Put a chopstick in it. If many small bubbles show up at the bottom, then it’s ok to deep fry.

4. Dip prawns and vegetables in the tempura batter and deep fry till golden brown.




Udon soup would be a good choice to be served with.

Easy Beef/Pork Wellington

My husband wanted to have beef steak, but we didn’t  have any at home. So I cooked Pork Wellington using the recipe of Beef Wellington.

The result was surprisingly good. Pork tested very tender and juicy.

The following is an easy way to cook pork in this way:


1. Season the pork with salt and black pepper.


2. Since the thick steak tests better, I used kitchen twine.


3. Heat some butter in a pan.


4. Put the pork in when the butter is heated. And fry every side of the pork.


5. Frying is done.


6. Stir fry chopped onion, mushroom, and garlic. Add some salt and black pepper powder. ( I don’t have other spices or wine.)


7. Bacon at the bottom, mixture of mushroom and onion in the middle, pork on the top. Do remember to take the kitchen twine off.


8. Roll the pork with bacon and make it a small bun. Wrap it tight and put into fridge for 30 minutes.


9. As to puff pastry, I chose roti prata, which is an easy and quick way.


10. Wrap the pork with roti prata.


11. Put it into fridge for another ten minutes.


12. Preheat oven 200 degree. You can make some decorative pattern on the surface if you want. Then brush it with egg. Put into oven for 20-25 minutes.


13. Dress the dish with some vegetables.

Enjoy your meal!
