Ginger Soy Happiness (Chicken)

2010-02-24T23:55:00.010-05:00

Sometimes we all need a good chicken dish on a pile of hot rice. The chicken is glossy and tender. The rice is steaming and fluffy. The combo is like a song- singing that life is so good right now and you don’t need any thing from the world…until maybe you finish this meal. (HA!) Alright, maybe this is just my version of happiness, but I love to share it with you!

Let’s focus on the chicken part today. It’s good pair with rice, couscous, toast, event wrap them in hot dog bun!

First, Gather your “Stuff”! you will need:
Fresh ginger
Soy sauce
Rice wine (or Sherry)
(Asian dark) Sesame oil
Sugar
Scallion
Chicken
(I use boneless chicken thigh/Dark meat = sweet & juicy!)
Of course you can use other chicken part here.

Grab your knife and cut your meat!.. into 2”x 2” pieces.
They will shrink into nice bite size pieces.
On the left that little pile is the Chicken Fat.
Yap, fat trimmed from those chicken thigh
save them, use them!(…in the following step :D)

Slice up some fresh ginger root.
I keep my fresh ginger in a jar of rice wine.
They keep pretty well in fridge and the wine will soften the tough ginger fiber.
You also get some ginger favored rice wine too!
*great for marinade meat
If you don’t have fresh ginger at home,
peel some garlic cloves and slice them..
You will get “Garlic Soy” happiness in the end..

Heat your pan and add some oil.
I am using canola oil in squeezes bottle,
you don’t need much oil here,
since we will add the chicken fat and sesame oil later.

Add ginger and chicken fat (*optional) in the pan.

Using medium fire,
Cook the ginger until it became dry
and start to curl on the edge.
*where is the chicken fat?
They all melted and become nice brown crispy pieces!
(Think Bacon)

Time to add Your chicken~!
Add chicken to pan,
let 1 side to sear and brown before turning the meat.
*Be patient, grasshopper…or meat eater.. ^0^

After the chicken is cook and seared all around.
Add 1 tbsp Sesame oil.
This will transform the smell
and character of this chicken dish into “Taiwanese” style.
*so exotic LOL

Add 1 tbsp Rice wine or sherry to the pan
and inhale the sizzle *inhale optional
Oh and I don’t really measure when I cook,
so add more or less on your liking.

But not the whole bottle of the wine…
that’s another Taiwanese dish ;D *I am serious.

Add 1 to 2 tbsp Soy sauce. Again, no sure measuring,
more or less depends on how salty your soy sauce is.
*like beer/wine/olive oil, every soy sauce taste different.

Hmmmmm…Look at this color!
The soy sauce has coat the chicken with caramelized goodness,
now add 1 tbsp sugar to give it a gloss coating and sweetness.
Yes I POUR my sugar,
YOU SHOULD ONLY ATTATN THIS ACTION
WITH YEAR OF TRAINING. HAHA!

In the end, sprinkle some fresh Scallion slices.
Of course you can add some fresh chopped jalapeños
in the there to give some “WHOA!!”
just remember to warn whoever is going to eat this,
yourself included.

OK all you need now is some cooked rice
/pasta/bun/toast/ some kind of grain/starch you prefer
and enjoy your happiness!

Have fun :D

茶壺暖暖

忙著過日子
打毛線為最輕鬆的消遣

這只布朗貝蒂(Brown Betty)是我的聖誕禮物之一
忍不住給她打個毛衣暖暖

茶壺暖暖
茶湯保溫更長

這暖暖完全是自己亂想亂打的
似乎亂有樣
天知道要貝蒂小姐穿這貼身毛衣還不容易咧
前凸後翘指天叉腰的

露肩照
血統證明一下
布朗貝蒂小姐是英國來的
嗯等下泡壺玫瑰茶好了

冰泰國奶茶

2007-07-22T22:03:00.000-04:00

復古包裝的警犬牌泰國茶粉

我習慣倒層茶粉在一鍋水上

煮滾後待涼再過濾

加入一罐煉奶攪溶

倒入冰塊杯中攪攪享用

泰國奶茶的桔子色原來是黃色六號
特殊香氣的則是肉桂八角混合豆蔻的味道
加上煉奶的甜美口感
真是會一喝停不下來

感謝鄰居提供相片中的自家種蔬果,
剛採下的新鮮綠節瓜和綠番茄.

我知道用翻譯服務網站來看中翻英的文章實在*暴笑兼無力.
但是我還是很給他感動有人願意嘗試..

好男人的壞男人樣

2007-07-13T02:06:00.000-04:00

好男人的壞男人樣....

好帥好帥啊!
晚餐吃涼拌花枝的我忍不住花痴一番.
和同事講到電影”超人再生”一幕(00時56分41秒)
我被超人的壞男人眼神煞到.

這短短三秒的一幕(00時56分41秒到00時56分43秒)
在完全中邪(食色性也)的情形下,
不知道倒帶看了幾遍.
邊看邊讚歐!Baby! Yeah! 有帥!好帥好帥! 帥帥帥!
嘶~嘶~ (吸口水聲)

露意斯連恩應該是
前世有造布魯克林橋,
又鋪95號州際公路(註一)
才有這份因緣吧.

可能是我說的眉飛舞色又花枝亂颤 (我只吃了三隻花枝)
同事賊賊的說,

那你中意壞男人喔?

(驚!)不對!
整個不正確!

我又沒說Lex Luthor(雷克斯·路瑟) 的光頭閃耀動人..

壞男人的壞男人樣是理所當然,
好男人的壞男人樣是難得可貴.

難得的是充滿自信的頑皮微笑,
可貴的是那對銳利眼神可勾魂,

這簡直是代表壞男人兩個招牌條件.

如果你的男人有這樣的傾城微笑,
又對你如Clark Kent(克拉克肯特)
對Louis Lane(露意斯連恩)一樣痴心踏地,

他, 若是不會飛走,
就要偷笑拜佛兼謝天的

超超人. (註二)

結論, 魚與熊掌不可兼得.

還有這要趕快畫下來
才不枉我花痴一陣.

註一.摘由维基百科.
95號州際公路 (Interstate 95，簡稱I-95)是美國州際公路系統的一部份。北起緬因州與加拿大的邊界上，南在佛羅里達州邁阿密 (與美國國道1相連)。全長3,101公里，是美國東岸的交通大動脈，位於東北部的路段更是因為大量的使用量而被稱為東北走廊。形成於1957年。是系統中南北線最長的公路。

講到這裡我想到每年薪水三十％稅,
不就是造橋鋪路嗎? (期待..)

等一下, 其實大家都有繳稅 (期待破碎...ORZ)

註二.
超超人, 乃是超越超人之人.
連超人都要拯救世界而不能與愛人廝守,
真是像要找到Kryptonite (克利普頓石)一樣難得啊!

=======================
好男人的壞男人樣....

今晚畫超人畫的又爽又累,

明天一早還要開會.

所以晚點再補貼本文...

歐(OH)!今天是十三號星期五.....

夏日精力鰻魚飯和清涼桃子啤酒

2007-07-08T16:51:00.000-04:00

忘了是哪部日本料理漫畫提起
夏日吃鰻魚飯會很有精力

(人不分男女, 不分季節, 都需要精力)

早上去買菜時
看到店員正在打開一箱箱的冷凍蒲燒鰻魚
肥肥肉碩(我?鰻!)
忍不住買下

一片, 7oz US$3.99
沒有肥前屋一樣可以把自己養的標肥

回家洗兩碗米加一小撮糯米(糯米吸水QQ口感讚)
泡於濾過淨水30MINUTE

打開陽光自然解凍蒲燒鰻魚包裝
放在生米上

蓋上蓋子, 關上小門, 大同寶寶擺好.

當生米煮成熟飯時
配菜也準備好

今天配菜是青江銀芽炒大蒜黑胡椒醬

拿出一瓶冰涼涼Dogfish Head 酒廠

2007 新款桃子啤酒Festina Peche

這酒飲起微微果酸

頗有去油解膩刮鰻油之感

當然撒上切碎青蔥

再淋上UNAGI sauce 蒲燒鰻醬

和WASABI 山椒醬

又是一層滿足= 飽

又, 吃飽撐著看 Monty Python's The Meaning of Life

not a good idea...

太好笑有撐爆之憂

試者慎行

Here is 'the meaning of life'-

'Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.'

"Word!"- I said.
