Crispy Pork Chop By Oven

Leave a comment

My husband and I love crispy pork chop. However, deep fried crispy chop pork needs too much oil. So it’s not a good option for me when I prepare daily meals. This recipe is very easy. No oil is needed.

1. Pound pork chop several times on each side. Sprinkle some salt and black pepper for a while.

2. Coat pork chop with a layer of flour, then egg and bread crumbs at last. (Bread crumbs need to be stir fried in the pan till golden brown).

3. Preheat oven to 200 degree C. Put pork chop in the oven for 20 mins. 

4. Out in the plate, cool and cut into small pieces.

Red Bean & Barley —A Recipe for People Who Suffers Edema Like Me

Leave a comment

Recently, I am suffering serious edema. My figures are swollen. I can not even clench my fist. 

So I started this recipe 2 days ago. Every morning, I grab some red beans and barley and soak them in a bowl. In the afternoon, I pour them in the pot. Add in many many water, and cook till red beans get softened and cooked. It works well for me. At least, my figures are not as swollen as before.


Actually, you can soak red bean and barley for overnight, because red beans need to be soaked for hours. Then the next morning, you can cook them. If you don’t like the taste, you can add a little sugar, which will help make it taste better.

According to Chinese medicine, barley belongs to cold food by its property. So pregnant women shouldn’t eat it. And better not eat it a week before period or during period. And if you suffer constipation, please don’t eat it.


Even without barley, red beans are also helpful to ease edema.

A Sichuan Dish- Hui Guo Rou (Double Cooked Pork Slices)

Leave a comment


I love Sichuan Food. But due to that my husband can’t eat spicy food, I seldomly cook spicy dish. Hui Guo Rou is a typical Sichuan dish. I made it less spicy and it turned out my husband loved it.

1. Put pork belly in boiling water for several mins till a chopstick can easily go through it.

2. Take the pork out. Rinse and drain. Then cut into thin slices.

3. Heat a little oil in the pan. ( because there is fat in pork belly, a very little oil is enough. If you use non-stick pan, you can even not add any oil).

4. Put pork slices in the pan. Stir fry till a bit golden brown and curly. Take pork slices out.

5. Add 1 tsp Pixian bean sauce in the pan. Stir fry till red oil comes out. If you want it to be more spicy, you can add some chopped dried red chili.

6. Put pork slices back in the pan. Stir fry evenly with bean sauce. Add in 1 tsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp cooking wine and 1 tsp sugar. Stir evenly.

7. Add in chopped garlic bolt and green chili. Stir fry till garlic bolt is done. Dish out.
