妈妈不在家之食谱(十二):猪肉片包金针菇和生菜包虾仁

每一次我写“妈妈不在家食谱”,我总爱强调三十分钟上桌。并不是要炫耀我多厉害(想想看,一个一年进厨房几天的人厨艺会好到哪儿去?!),而是要鼓励那些天天在外面打包吃得腻了的朋友们,鸡手鸭脚如我都可以煮个两菜一汤,证明对大家必然也行。

我的速度之所以快(绝对不是熟练!),一来煮的都是简单之极的菜肴,二来我总是在回家的路上先把步骤给定下。比如说,今天煮肉片裹金针菇和虾仁生菜,我就是一路上想好怎样两样菜肴交替做的。

一到家,把虾仁解冻。然后把原料都从冰箱取出,依序稍微排一排。

把水给煮沸的当儿,另一端把锅给弄热,下油。同时把蒜头小辣椒给切成茸。

水沸后把金针菇仍入,捞起,过冷河,抛一点牛油进去捞一捞。


另一边把蒜茸、小辣椒放进锅内爆香,然后把虾仁放进去大火炒之。


另一边,把生菜洗好,弄成两个碗状。


炒好的虾仁倒入“生菜碗”内,撒上牛肉丝和香脆蒜米即可。




懒惰洗锅,炒完虾仁后煎一粒蛋,(蛋把剩下的蒜茸小辣椒片都融入煎蛋内)。煎蛋时顺便拿肉片把金针菇给包起来。

蛋煎好后不必另外添油(猪肉片会出油)便可把包好的猪肉片金针菇放下锅里中火煎之。


就这样子,两道菜就完成啦~ 没骗你,真的不需要30分钟。


(一)猪肉片包金针菇
材料:猪肉片(前一天用鲍鱼汁腌过收冰箱)、金针菇、牛油、鸡蛋

步骤:
1. 金针菇用沸水烫一烫,过冷河,加牛油捞一捞。
2. 用猪肉片把金针菇裹起。
3. 中火煎至自己喜欢的熟度。

(鸡蛋可有可无,我完全只不过是为了“清理”锅)







(二)生菜包虾仁
材料:蒜头、小辣椒、虾仁、肉丝、生菜
步骤:
1. 蒜头和小辣椒切成茸,爆香。
2. 加入虾仁炒至熟红。
3. 把锅里的料都倒入“生菜碗”内。
4. 撒上肉丝和香脆炸蒜米即可上桌。

Getting Ready for Outdoor

I am sure I am one of those easiest to manipulate. If you manage to plant an idea in my mind, I always can't resist to try it out.

I am also very sure that one day my curiosity is going to kill me. I always wanted to try out some new methods when I think it is logical.

2 days ago I said I do not want to pampered my succulent plants, and I only wanted to let the fittest survive, and I won't do anything more complicated than simply planting with soil. However, I couldn't help but keep on thinking about the theory of layers of rocks, pebbles, sand and soil. Sound very logical.

Without me realizing, when I was on my ritual evening walk yesterday, I collected rocks and sand!!

So this is it! I'm trying it out!

First layer of rocks:


Second layer of pebbles:


Third layer of sand:


Then I added soil as usual. I decided to try this idea on my Kalanchoe sexangularis, since it is said to be robust.



So now I ensure that the "draining system" is better (at least theoretically. Still need to do experiment to prove.), I am putting this pot at the edge of my pergola, where it can get maximum sunlight, and hopefully still good enough to protect it from tropical thunderstorm. Lots of water for her though.


Hopefully she will survive.

妈妈不在家之食谱(十一):火腿姬菇和虾仁豆苗

晚饭怎么搞呢?就弄弄下面这些材料吧。准备时间约十分钟。



(一)火腿姬菇
真的太容易了,也不好意思每个步骤都拍照,好像很侮辱观众似的。不也就把蒜米爆香,把切片的火腿(这一餐就把冰箱内的火腿用完了!明天开始不会出现了。哈哈!)丢入锅里炒一炒,火腿开始变色后把菇都丢入锅内大火炒一炒即可。

担保你五分钟上桌!

卖相还不错ho~


(二)虾仁豆苗
Aeon买的豆苗一盒RM1.90。在冰箱挖出妈妈的半盒虾仁,同蒜米爆香,虾仁快要熟的时候倒入豆苗,大火快炒!(我吃豆苗,爱吃介于熟与半熟之间的那种口感,而虾仁过熟也不好吃,所以虾仁还未熟透快速丢入豆苗快炒正好)

撒上妈妈炸好的蒜米即可上桌,也是五分钟上桌!


今晚晚餐就这么简简单单:

妈妈不在家之食谱(十):牛肉排骨胡椒汤

到Aeon买了这么一盒牛肉排骨,才RM3!

准备蒜米和胡椒(敲碎)。在锅里加了一点儿油,把蒜米和胡椒爆香,然后放入牛排骨稍微煎一煎。



牛肉微熟后加水(我用五碗水煮成三碗)煮沸,加入胡椒汤料,用慢火熬。就这么简单。我喜欢熬得入味的汤,通常至少要三个小时以上的。

午餐爸爸不在家,我把昨天的饭给蒸了,撒上一点儿ochazuke料,配一碗热腾腾牛肉排骨胡椒汤,好吃极了!



妈妈不在家之食谱(九):火腿金针菇炒蛋

妈妈风流快活去了,又轮到下厨的日子。今早爸爸想吃蒸番薯,我昨天才吃了,决定打开冰箱看看有什么可以玩玩。

这样子的raw material,猜到了吧?有火腿、金针菇、迷你番茄、鸡蛋、牛油,全都是我爱吃的食物。反正对我而言,有牛油有火腿必定错不了的。



首先,给自己做个完美的toast。面包两面都插上牛油,用小小平底锅慢火慢慢烤,肯定比toaster的好吃!


另一边,把火腿切了,把迷你番茄切成两半。


打了两粒蛋,加胡椒!


切一大片牛油!


放到热锅里。


在鸡蛋里加一点牛奶,打散。(别忘了另一个平底锅里的面包要翻哦)


牛油热后把迷你番茄稍微煎一煎,火腿和金针菇则炒一炒。


我原本想要做omelette,可是我太贪心了,料太多、蛋太少,包不了,只好混着炒。

Tada! 这样子就轻轻松松搞定啦~ 炒蛋可以配烤面包,也可以单吃。

吃早餐,有时候最重要的,是心情……

多肉拯救大行动

整个早上,其实就是忙着依照需水量和日照需求,为我的多肉们重组。

看我买回来时的小人祭多漂亮!


在重组的过程中,惊见我的小人祭(Aeonium sedifolius)的茎上涨了小白点,也不知道是不是介壳虫。反正安全起见,我决定快刀斩乱麻。




第一,把整盆的泥土给扔了。

第二,把根部洗清洁,好让小白点无所遁形。

第三,把冲不掉的小白点枝干给剪掉。














剪剩的,如果有根,我就把它们分成几个小盆,以便容易观察。并且把它们和其它多肉的隔离起来。

那些被我狠心连根都给剪去的,只能晒晒太阳,让剪伤处痊愈后插土观察。

给自己弄个玻璃瓶,可以观察浇水量

买了个中国风的,感觉好像盆栽,爱死了!

这个弄一盆,给朋友下毒。哈哈!

这会给朋友新居送去

这给多肉专家自己解决

珍珠吊兰 String of Pearls

I used to use "String of Pearls" to decorate my succulents arrangements as I love to add texture to my arrangements. These puffy pearls add cute-nest and softness to the arrangement at the same time


However, after I saw this following picture online, I decided to replant all my string of pearls. I need a waterfall of pearls! I decided that I can always cut them out for adding layer and texture to my arrangements later, if I really have a waterfall of pearls!

Then, I read this blog of 二木花花男, and I decided that I have to do it, immediately!

I added a layer of pebbles in the pot, then a layer of soil.


Then I remove my one and only string from current arrangement, and transfer to this new pot. Add some more soil to cover the pearls.


Pretending to be as careful as an archaeologist, I removed the excessive soil.


Water the plant thoroughly (a tips I get from internet: after re-potting, the first watering must be thorough so that the roots can grab the soil faster)


Put the pot in a tin pot I got from Ikea years ago.



Here's my in house plant for the next few months! It has to sleep with me until it gives me a waterfall of pearls :)
