no bones about it

Very seldom do I cook fish at home, not that I don't like fish - I do, but my brother (who complains a lot about my cooking) finds eating fish risky and a lot of work, what with the business of picking off all those small fish bones.

So I am limited to using fillets and am glad I found one recipe that I tweaked to make a version of:


Saucy Fish Fillet
Ingredients:
- half kilo fish fillets
- 1 medium red bell pepper cut into cubes
- 1 medium green bell pepper cut into cubes
- half a cup broccoli florets
- salt
- pepper
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce

How to:
- cut the fillets into one inch squares, season with salt and pepper then dredge with flour
- pan fry till golden brown, drain on paper towels as set aside
- heat wok with little oil and stir- fry onion and garlic until aromatic, add the veggies.
- add the 3 sauces with half a cup of water, stir fry until veggies are crisp tender, mix in the fish fillets and toss until coated with sauce

Best served with steamed white rice and it is somehow better eaten in a bowl with the use of chopsticks - very Chinese take-out.

experiment success!!!

beefy buns

Nothing goes well with a big bowl of hot and hearty beef noodle soup than soft and fluffy steamed buns!  This dish reminds me of my childhood fascination of the vibrancy of a busy marketplace. During summer vacation, before going to work, my mom would take us to the market to buy our meals for the day and the corner noodle shop was often than not our main stop. We would order a couple of servings of beef noodles and steamed buns... I would often discreetly watch the people inside the shop - fascinated by the diversity of the patrons coming and going. There are families dinning out for a treat... couples maybe on a date... lone diners and working people like my mom dressed in office uniforms. Our take away package seems to come too quick for me to enjoy my time people watching and making my self dizzy going round and round on the bar stools. With a plop the server would hand us bulging bags full of hot soup and that would be the signal ending my market adventure as my mom wo...

Puto-ing it healthier!

I am one with a big appetite. I love to eat … and though I try to be physically active with sports and exercise, part of taking care of oneself is watching what we eat. I try to make healthy food choices and tweak recipes to satisfy my cravings with a little less guilt. I have recently tried using whole wheat flour in baking and while I am yet to perfect breadmaking here's a healthier version of the beloved Filipino steamed cake we call PUTO! Whole wheat flour has more fiber and vitamin content than white flour. Whole-wheat flour contains several vitamins, including folate, riboflavin and vitamins B-1, B-3 and B-5. Substituting whole wheat flour for refined flour helps us get the nutritional benefits with out sacrificing the foods you love, so give it a go! Whole Wheat Puto Ingredients: - 1 cup wheat flour - 1 cup milk - 4 tbsp sugar - 1 tbsp butter - 1egg - a pinch of salt - your choice of flavorings (pandan, vanilla, ube) - your choice of toppings (salted egg, cheese) Ho...

I grew up in a country where Halloween isn't really celebrated with all the hoopla of jack-o-laterns, halloween parties and trick or treating... the highlight of my childhood halloween was a contest amongst us kids on who can make the biggest ball of wax from candle drippings and the occasional scary story... ...  6 Granny Smith apples 6 wooden sticks 1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped 2 tablespoons water 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 tablespoons coarse sea salt 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
