Where did u normally purchase your miso paste? isetan , meidi ya at liangcourt?

U like miso soup?

 
This is for commercial kitchen: (whole day consumption)1 large pot
(U can scale down for your personal use like 1/5th pot?)
 
Use 5litre of water
Add in
-Miso paste 350g
-Dashi だし: 25g (if u dont like fishy smell can cut down on this)
If u wanna more miso feel, then up miso paste,
Cut down on rest (as in a commercial kitchen, in order to be thrifty, this is how they do it so as not to use whole pot of ONLY miso)
-蕎麦つゆ (Soba Soya sauce) 150g
 
Slow Boil @beginning and then high heat 
 
Last,
Sprinkle thinly sliced spring onions and wakame わかめ seaweed
If u want , throw in those 贝类 /"white" clams (jp tend to like this version)

Oooh, what a good way to do clams (not my strong suite)...thank you, lovehandle!:P

As much as I love cooking, I do have to say that I have had my fair share of epic disasters.

 

Last night was a typical example, I got 'chao ta" luncheon meat for dinner.

@Cube3 Wow! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

I love but am not good in cooking fish and red meat.

Would like to eat the fish and sweet & sour pork.

Btw, do you cook so much food all at one go? I supposed you cook for more than 1 person.

It was a meal for two...actually not that much work cuz can deep-fry at one go: tofu, fish then pork; have the sweet-sour sauce standby, pour out the oil then fry the veg, pork using the same saucepan, and chicken is cooked with larger slow-cooker. A bit to wash, but not too stressful to prep...

Pepper crabs is  easy to cook, heat up 2 tablespoons of oil and add in some chop garlic and stir 30 second then add black pepper and crabs. Stir for about one minute add black sauce and a little water (less then half cup) Then cover it and let it cook for another 5 minutes depend on how many crabs lor. Tada .,Black pepper crabs .

Dear  all "Chef" in the making and experts,

 

is it too high class to use : hand blenders https://www.google.com.sg/search?biw=1366&bih=570&tbm=isch&q=hand+blender&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwisrerAoq7OAhXFP48KHdDxB1IQhyYIIQ

to

mince/chop your garlic/chilli etc??

U can easily blend them in seconds and keep the whole box for the rest of the week(I noticed that many cannot do w/o chilli/belacan etc)
 

the same blender usu comes with those props/tools(In a set) for you to blend your soup(eg mushrm soup- the angmoh type)

 

 

by the way I dislike garlic (esp excessively) and I don't dip into wasabi /chilli/sauce in my daily routine ( I find it shocking that my colleagues cried and scream just cos there is no chilli in duck rice , in this and that)

 

I hope we can learn from Australia!

How can people miss out on oatmeal?!

They are so easy to pull together, requires minimal effort & time, definitely affordable, can be prepared sweet or savory, hearty and filling! You can even prepare them ahead of time (overnight oatmeal) and never have to worry about starving yourself the next morning just because you overslept! Just search up the net, the options are endless and the only limit is your imagination!

P.S. I'm that kind of person who can eat any food at any time. Many may link oatmeals and breakfast together but that doesn't apply to me. I can even eat steamboat in the morning and pancakes at night lol!

I should learn how to take better pictures.. lor.. he he

I believe it is lack of lights that causes your picture to be blury. When the lighting is low, you need to hold the camera steady for a longer period of time in order for it to register well. To rectify this, either place your food under stronger lightings or add maybe a table lamp. Alternatively, shoot on a steady platform instead of holding on your hands, i.e. Rest the camera on top of something steady when you shoot, a box, a milo tin, hot water flask. Hold your breath just as you about to click on the button.

I must confess: all that is just a meal for two! :wacko: The rice I would cook in bulk then freeze in portions for easy microwave later la.

 

* Tea leaf chicken: Oolong or Tieguanyin is preferred. This is otherwise known as Smoked Chicken in recipe books. Simple marinate with soy + oyster sauce, and to balance the 'bitterness' of the tea leaves, a bit more sugar. Then round off with sprinkle of sesame seed oil for fragrance. The taste can be subtle, more for fragrance than strong flavour.

I make my own chilli paste for use in all my curry and Asam dishes. You can blend them and put inside the freeze and use whenever you need to cook something like curry chicken, Asam fish or even BBQ fish. Dry chill 250g, yellow ginger 100g,wax nuts 100g, lemon grass 5 sticks, 4 large onions, some glove garlic, balacan,young ginger 100g and fresh red chilli 50g. Boil the dry chill and drain. Cut everything into smaller pics and then blend them all togather. Tada friendly chilli paste . Put in container and store in freeze
