Fried Egg with Long Bean

Simple and just fried…
.

When your mind is some time too lazy to think of what to cook… this dish is definitely suitable when we are lazy… hahaha :)
* Just diced the long beans and stir an egg with some Soya sauce.

This is the Organic Long Beans I bought from Tesco, and it was actually placed at the Organic Rack. And I found the prices between Organic and Non Organic are just about few 10 cents difference.


Ingredients:
1. 4 cloves Garlic (grated)
2. 5 pcs Long Beans (diced)
3. 1 Egg (stir well)

Methods:
1. Rinse Long Bean and diced.
2. Heat up 2 tbsps of oil, add sufficient salt, and fry Minced Garlic and Long Bean until fragrant.
3. Pour in egg evenly on the Long Bean.
4. Fry over high heat for 2 min.
.
When I was home last year, I remember my mom’s “mini-farm” planted some long beans too… and I remember that was an evening and mom asking to choose some matured long bean and asked me to pick down some for dinner.

Living in a big city like where I stay now… we don’t have a big house for gardening, don’t even have a backyard to plant anything like what my mom has. That is why I always appreciate when I have a chance to go home, and the next thing I will do is bring my camera and take down photos.

Here are some of my mom’s results from her backyard, and we even found some snails crawling at the vegetables, lady-birds hiding at the Bird Eye Chili Trees, and some time we even can see frogs hiding underneath the Pandan Leaves.

Black Pepper Pork

Gravy~ Black Pepper Gravy~ I Love Black Pepper Gravy~

Believe or not… A plate of tasty black pepper pork will come along with a perfect marinate process.

I always love the black pepper gravy… but always so curious about why people only cook Black Pepper with Beef and too rare to cook with Pork.

BigFish Cook Book is trying to make a different here. If u read my previous post ~ I tried this dish before with Beef and shoot with a photo which didn’t actually shown the dish great.

This time, Panda help to shoot the photo properly with so many failure shoots. And I choose from those and I think this is the best among all.


Ingredients:
1. 250gm Pork (sliced)
2. 1 Red Big Onion (sectioned)
3. 5 cloves Garlic (grated)

Marinated:
Pork – some Black Pepper, Corn Flour, Sesame Oil and some brown sugar.

Black Pepper Seasoning:
Mix some Corn Flour, 1 tsp Black Pepper, ½ tsp White Pepper, ½ tsp Brown Sugar, Black Soya Paste and Grated Black Peppers with ½ rice bowl water.

Methods:
1. Heat up 2 tbsps cooking oil and fry grated garlic until fragrant.
2. Pour in Marinated Pork and stir fry for 5min.
3. Add sectioned Red Onion and fry together.
4. Pour in Black Pepper Sauce and stir well, fry for another 5min.
5. Garnish with some Chinese Celery and Serve!
.
Trust me, no matter how good the gravy, the pork have to marinate nicely and at least for 20min. And you will find absorption of every pieces of sliced pork taste really good from Inside Out!

I prefer to use the Red Big Onion instead of the normal Onion. The color is nicer and the smell stronger.

Fried Long Bean with Pickle Radish

That was a night, we worked late and came home late…

Panda suggested me not to cook and we eat outside because both of us worked late. But finally I told him about my mood of cooking that night was like extremely high… and we both agree that we take some light good first. Then I will go home and cook the dinner.

So we had dinner after 9.30pm that night. This fried long bean is one of the dishes I had from my BigFish Cook Book. It is so simple… for a working lady like me, always hope to cook at home, but time is so tight. I bet this simple and easy recipe is definitely suit to me some times.



This idea was getting from the Fried Egg with Pickle Radish (Choy Bor). A lot of people like to have Fried Egg with Pickle Raddish to serve with Porridge. And I think this dish helps a lot to make our appetite better.
*Less Oil and Healthier! Can either serve with Rice or Porridge …
.
Ingredients:
1. 4 cloves Garlic (grated)
2. 50g Pickle Radish - Choy Bor (grated)
3. Long Bean (sectioned)

Methods:
1. Rinse Long Bean and sectioned.
2. Heat up 2 tbsps of oil, fry minced Garlic and minced Choy Bor until fragrant.
3. Pour in Long Bean and stir fry till cooked.
4. Add in sufficient salt, fry over high heat for 1 min.

My BigFish Cook Book

Since last Thursday, is been few days already, haven’t been posting my recipes on blog… huh… getting frustrated now! I was so busying to figure out ways just to improve my blog. The problem with my Photo Shooting and Making nice template are giving me a big challenge.

As a new blogger, I think I get addicted over here! :)

Comments from friends and Foodiest …
Very much appreciate to every one here and I have made up my mind to improve my blog page template soon.

1. Why I want to set up a Blog?
This is really important for me to drive ahead. In the very beginning, I bet every one here are like me ~ wanted to set up a blog for SHARING, and Learn new things. Make a habit to note down anything which is actually interesting and warming your soul. But after some times, I found most of the thing that make me smiling inside out to share here are my Home Cooking and Recipes. I feel extremely proud with my own creations and also the modified recipes whenever it served on the dinning table.
I have found my answer even obvious after some times of carving. Opinions given by lot of friends, and I’m sure that I’m the lucky new blogger because I got to know some bloggers and added them into my MSN as well.
* Especially from Big Boy Oven (Sid), my friend who works in MPH Publisher (Lawrence), and also a designer he is my ex-schoolmate (Hakkison). Their opinions are really helping me a lot.

2. Food Blog – How should I present a food blog.
Eat out food or Home Cook Food? My blogging are mainly about my Home Cook Food and Recipes. Friends’ opinion, that I have to actually make a brand and a unique name which is easier for others to remember me.
* So I stick back to my lovely nickname as BigFish.

4. Template and Theme Color.
Keep the design clean and nice to read.
* Don’t use Eyes Killing Fonts and Color.
** This is the very first thing that I can do up to the stage now ~ to change my blog looks clean and comfortable.

5. Photo Shooting.
After College and quit my design job. Is been ages I never keep myself updating with the Photo Shooting matter. All my photos are just simply shooting without any side preparations most of times.
But since I started to add my first Food Blogger (CookingMonster) in my list, from there I started to know foodiest from all around the world. The very first blog which really gave me a strong impression is Taste Like Home (Cynthia’s blog). Her photos are all serving with well food styling. Another one is Big Boys Oven (Sid), and I been chatting online with him few times, and he was telling me about the dinning set like bowls and plates chosen are important for Food Photography too.

* I will have to get back to my skill from now, try to shoot more and practice more to make my dishes come out with nice lighting shoot.
* I started to buy nice dinning set to make my food present nicer.
* Might have to set up a small shooting area in my house with some simple lighting equipments.

I’m looking forward from every one here to give me more opinions and also comments. I will try to make my improvement step by step. I am looking forward to get my own domain~ when the “clicks” is there!

Please forgive me if you found my blog has some changes, because some times it will be under construction.

Looking forward to step ahead from decent to better…

~ Happy Blogging ~ Cheers!

The Making of Rice Wine

Making dish with Glutinous Rice wine … try this and you will never regret!

Lot of friends asking~ is Glutinous Rice Wine same as the normal rice wine. For me, I think there’s bit different in such a point of view on ways and methods of transforming, but always fermented and rice-based.

Since questions asked, I was actually thinking to make my own Home Made Glutinous Rice Wine. I called up my mom and some friends to ask them about the process and things to ready. Then I found out … the whole process taking a few weeks to just get a little Rice Wine to be done.

Finally, I shed off my thoughts to make my own Wine at home, and also started to search online to look for more information… here are some photos and information I found.
Kadazan Method and China Method


I’m a Malaysian from the Borneo Island - Land Below the Wind, Sabah. So I believe my mom’s methods of making wine are the mixture of the two Traditions ~ China method and KadazanDusun Method.


Here they are Steps to make the Glutinous Rice Wine:


* Step1:
Ingredients: 1.5 kg long grain
Sticky rice
In a big container soak the rice in water for at least 12 hours or over night, making sure you cover all of the rice.



* Step2: Steam
Sticky rice for 20 minutes or until just cookedRinse and wash the rice thoroughly then place evenly into steamer. Using chop sticks stab with holes for more even steaming.

* Step3: Allow the cooked sticky rice to cool down
Rinse and wash thoroughly under cold running water, make sure to separate all the individual grains. Drain.

* Step4: Ingredients: 1 pkt dried yeast (2 heaped Chinese soup spoons)
Add and mix yeast and sticky rice into ceramic vessel - save a little for step 5

* Step5: Pat down the sticky rice and level
In the middle make a small hole and sprinkle the rest of the yeast inside and around

*Step6: Place lid and store in dry warm place, undisturbed for the next 36 hours
If need wrap up in thick towels, sheets or blankets

* Step7: Wine is ready when vessel is tilted and rice separates from the sides
If you can not see the "freshly fermented wine" in the hole then replace lid and kept fermenting

Here you are, naturally sweet fermented home made Glutinous Rice Wine!!!

These are what my mom told me when she wanted to make the Wine at home:-
Many taboos have to be observed during the making of rice wine. Thus one is not allowed to swear or fight during the cooking process, or to talk bad and loudly. Other taboos are connected to practical hygiene, such as the rule that one cannot touch lemons or any other sour thing during the preparations. This could turn the wine sour. Hygiene is paramount, and in olden days often the whole family was banned from the house when mother prepared rice wine.

Often a piece of charcoal, or a small knife called is placed on top of the jar with the fermenting rice, to prevent bad spirits from entering the recipient and spoil the wine – lihing, being an entirely natural wine, will turn into vinegar when left exposed to air.
*I still remember… I was really young and still studying. Mom making her rice wine and during her first checking time, I was standing beside her and saw her taking out a small knife which placed on top of the container. Then the next thing she asked me to do is “Keep My Mouth Shut”.

The three main ingredients that contribute to the unique characters of various wines are the grains, the water, and the liquor starter. Other ingredients that alter the color or taste of the final product may also be added.

Glutinous Rice Wine well knows as Sticky rice wine, traditionally, can be eaten as a dessert, with sweet sticky rice balls as a snack, drunk with a meal, but mainly the Chinese consider it as a "health food/drink".

Then from the research, I am so surprised that the local people of Sabah produced their own Rice Wine and done with beautiful packaging design for sale too.

Well known and labeled as Lihing Rice Wine.

Instand Noodle & Durians

That was a night… and I was so wanted to cook my dinner.
But friends call and they wanted to have an Extreme Fear Factor Action that night… Go for DURIAN!!!

I am not a Durian lover, but still without cutting off their mode, I decided to go enjoy “the scene” with them too. Panda loves durians some times, but we were just had it a week before, so his urge was not so strong…

I prepared my stomach to fill with something before the Durian session, because the rest of our friends going to have Durians as their Dinner that night. I was so confused and didn’t know what to have as easy and light food… Then my brother came home and he cooked his instant noodle nicely, sitting at the sofa and serving with a cup of Milo. He is a BIG BIG EATER. Usually before my dinner done, he will just have a pack of instant noodle to full fill his urge while waiting for my cooking.

Then remind me also my mom always cook the instant noodles and added a lot of extra vege, eggs or meat to serve with. I always love it when I was at home last time… Instant Noodles but it is just More Than normal instant noodle!

I marinated the Beef with Shao Hsing Wine, and fried some chopped garlic with sesame oil. Then have the fresh vegetables. Ohhh… I swear you will love to have the Instant Noodles in this way!



* I swear ~ u will love this!

The King of Fruits~
Go with them for Duriansss… I found out that they are the greatest Durian Eater I ever found in town now!
*You ever see ppl standing there and eating non-stop until their face changed color!? Hahahahaa ~

This Durian Stalls is located at Ampang area, some where between Kosas and Bkt. Indah. Is a small internal Village belongs to Ampang area.

Service is Extremely Good! The boss is from North Malaysia and now staying in K.L. Very kind and honest! We normally have to call and ask him to reserve. So he will have his greatest stocks there to wait for us…


Here the DURIANssss!

Glutinous Rice Wine

Can imagine how busy I were for the pass 1 week, I have tons of pictures of my cooking, but no time to “decorate” them. So sad ~

So keen and wanted to share with you all about my cook books!!! Still every time I turn on the computer… Start with going up to blogger friends’ comment box, when I got those comments done nicely, that would be about time for me to rest already!

2 weeks ago, 1 of my ever good friend called me up and told me about her mom was making their own Home Made - Glutinous Rice Wine, and she reserved a bottle for me! Before I got the Wine home, again… the “CLOUDsss” came out from my mind, picturing myself in the kitchen again…cooking Chicken, Beef and etc with the Glutinous Rice Wine…
*This remind me of my mom, she always do that whenever she is free and start to chit chat with me about dishes and cooking at home.

Mom is a very sincere Buddhist, she never take Beef cos of the religion. Remember Mom’s Cook Book, and she has a lot of way to cook Pork and Chicken with the Glutinous Wine. But just not beef…

I’m bit different from mom, my family giving us 100% freedom to choose on our religion. Since very young, parents sent me to a Kindergarten under a Church in Sabah (my home town). That was the reason I became a Christian since that. I respect her as I don’t take Beef at home, but outside home… I have my 100% freedom to choose on whatever I wanted to have. Hehehee…

Learn from my Mom’s Cook Book, I’m going to try my BigFish Cook Book cooking the Beef with Glutinous Rice Wine.

Surprisingly, result was unexpected too GOOD…

~Parsley is not only for Decoration~
You will love it to cook the Beef and Chicken together with Parsley. Chinese rarely use Parsley as cooking ingredient. Most of the time, we use Parsley only for decorating and make the dishes look nicer.

I got this idea from a guy friend who loves cooking and his wife doesn’t know how to cook at all. He used Parsley to cook Fish with Star Fruit. Then he told me Parsley smell lovely after grated and cook with anything.

2008 Year of RAT

Chinese New Year is now right at the corner…
This coming Chinese New Year is the Year of RAT. According to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, Year 2008 is a Chinese Brown Earth (Soil) Rat Year.

Here come our Chinese Friends… I know some start doing home decoration soon. I’m sure there are things that we will have to be sticking on the wall of our home like Spring Calligraphy, Couplet, Chinese Lime Trees and etc…

In the markets out there… sure there are people start selling Mandarin Oranges and Year Cakes (Nian Gao). Some of my friend’s parents even making their own Chinese New Year Cake. This is a type of food prepared from glutinous rice and consumed in Chinese Cuisine. It is traditionally most popular during celebrating the Chinese New Year. It is considered Good Luck to eat Nian Gao, it symbolized “Climbing Higher this coming Good Year”.

In
Lam Garden, Panda’s parents are now preparing all the stocks for Chinese New Year shoppers too. Plants like Green Bamboo, Mei Hua, Money Trees and Wealthy Trees are all symbolized Wealth and Health.
