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.

Chicken Soup Noodle

Leave a comment

When my husband feels sick, I cook him chicken soup. Actually, every time I make chicken soup, it’s possibly to leave some over. So I keep the left soup in a jar and stored in fridge. Stored chicken soup can be used to cook. And the easiest one is to cook noodles.


This is the fresh soup not the stored one.

It’s easy to make chicken soup. 

Put chicken in a deep pot. Add in enough water and several ginger slices. Turn to high heat at first. When the soup boiled, turn to low height. If you want really good chicken soup, you’d better cook it for at least one hour. The soup will taste really great. I cooked it for about one hour and a half. And add some salt to it, or it will be plain. I also added several shiitake, because I really like it.

You can cook noodle when chicken soup is almost done. Just cook noodle with water. When noodle is cooked. Take it out and drain. After drained, put noodle in a bowl. 

Scoop some chicken soup and add to noodle in the bowl. If you like, you can add some green vegetables and chopped spring onion. 


My husband are it all, even he’s sick. It’s very nutritious.
