Fried Chicken Wing Stick

Leave a comment


Wing sticks are much smaller than chicken legs. So it’s easy to cook them. That’s why I chose to fry chicken wingstick.

I used frying powder, which already contains salt and black pepper. So I didn’t marinate wingsticks. Just coat them with egg and then frying powder. Fry them in oil till golden brown. Very crispy outside, but tender and soft inside.

Fish & Potato Chips

Leave a comment


My husband is a big fan of fish and chips. So I tried to cook this dish at home.
I cooked two kinds of fried fish fillet.
First, cut fish fillet into smaller size. And marinated with a little salt and black pepper.


1st. In a bowl, mix a small bowl of flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp vinegar and a small bowl of water. Stir well into batter.
Dip fish in batter. Then fry till golden brown.


2nd. Coat fish with a thin layer of flour, than egg and bread crumb at last.
Fry in oil till golden brown.
After tasting this two kinds of fried fish, I like the bread crumb one more. Because I think it tastes more crispy. But my husband loved them both.


Potato chips fried in oil for around 5-7 minutes, till they get golden brown.

Homemade Tomato Sauce

2 Comments

Apart from searching for recipes, one of my hobbies is watching movies about food.

I watched the Japanese Movie Little Forest the other day. It tells a story of a little girl living in the countryside. She plants vegetables and fruits and makes dishes with them. One scen is about her making tomato sauce with the tomatoes she plants. So I imitated her way of doing that.

1. First, wash some cherry tomatoes. Actually, you can use small tomatoes or big ones, depending on how big your jar is. And cut a cross at the bottom of each one.


2. Then put them in hot water for several seconds. If your tomatoes are bigger, let them stay longer in hot water.


3. Put them into icy water. And the tomato skin can be easily removed.


4. Put peeled tomatoes back into hot water. Boil them with a little salt. Don’t put too much. 


5. Then put the tomatoes along with some salty hot water into sterilized jar. Please don’t make the jar too full. 


6. Put the jar into hot water. And boil it for several minutes. Make sure the lid is not cover too tight.


7. After boiling, cool the jar for a while and tighten the lid.

The movies says, put the jar in the fridge. When you feel hot in summer, you can take a bite, and it makes you feel very cool.


I took them out and heat in a pan with some sugar.

Then poured them on cooked spaghetti. It tasted really great.

Stir Fry Pork With Ladyfinger

Leave a comment


Actually, I didn’t expect this dish will taste so good. And it’s very simple.

1. Put ladyfingers in boiling water for 2 minutes. Then take them out, remove two ends off and cut them into small pieces.

2. Cut pork into thin slice. Heat some oil in the pan. Stir fry pork till it gets a little golden brown.

3. Add in ladyfinger, a little light soy sauce and salt. Quick stir fry for another minute or two. And it’s done.


As to pork, I recommend pork belly, because it contains fat, which makes it taste better.

Black Sesame Round Bun And Mini-burger 

2 Comments

I promised my husband that I would make hamburger for him. And I tried the other day.
First, I baked black sesame round bun.

Ingredients:

Bread flour around 160g

Plain flour around 40g

Sugar around 30g
Salt around 3 g
Yeast around 3 g
Add in milk around 60g and 3/4 of one egg.

1. When everything mixed well, add in black sesames. And keep kneading until the dough becomes less sticky.

2. Cut in 15g butter. Just knead, knead and knead. If you are really stressed out recently, it’s a good way to release your negetive energy outwardly. You can even punch the dough. When the butter is completely absorbed by the dough, you can stop and take a rest. Kneading really takes a while.

3. Cover the bowl with a wrap or wet towel until it expands to 1.5 or twice of its size.

4. Divide the dough into several little even-sized dough. Knead them to let the inside air out and make them in round shape.

5. Put the small dough on the baking pan and put the baking pan into the oven. Place a bowl of hot water under the baking pan. If the water gets cold, replace it with another bowl of hot water.

When the small dough expands again to 1.5 or twice of their size, they can be taken out.

6. Brush the dough with the rest 1/4 egg.

7. Preheat the oven with 180 degree C. And bake them for around 18 mins.

The bun part is done.

I cut the round bun into two parts. In the middle I put carriage, tomato slice, cheese and pork chop. And make them mini-hamburgers.


You can design your own burger with this round bun, and of course you can make it bigger if you want.

This round bun can also be good if you just spread jam in it.
