Dinner for two

Not sure if you are bored with the same style of photos yet. It was our dinner last night. Yes salad again with home made dressing. The Pizza Express balsamic vinegar dressing seems not too match with the roman cabbage. To make the meal filling, I've added some smoked salmon.

Here is a how-to for the home made Italian salad dressing.

lime juice (freshly squeezed from a lime), 1 clove of garlic, 2 table spoons of cherry tomato juice (gained from the cheery tomato), a dash of mixed herb, oliver oil, salt and pepper

I have soaked the sliced onion into the dressing before we went jogging. 30 minutes of jogging, back home take a shower, shake well and enjoy!

Salad for dinner

I decided to lead a healthier diet. That is more fresh vege and good quality of protein. It is not easy to sustain as it costs time and effort. Last Sunday, we had salad for dinner.

I have prepared the turkey breast on the Saturday night. The turkey was bought from a wholesaler which located nearby our home. I just requested the giant turkey to be cut into 3 portion. Turkey is a good source of protein.

I have marinated the de-frozened bird with rosemary, mixed italian herbs, a clove of garlic and dash of oliver oil for 20 minutes. Then I sealed the bird in high heat and then slow cooked for 40 minutes. Slice them once they are cool down.

The best part, I can store the bird in the freezer and served as ham for sandwiches, salad, and snack. Though... C ate them all quickly :)

Hi I am back and here is the recipe.

1) 將買回來大概8 吋長的豬肋骨抹乾, 用餐叉刺有膜/脂肪的部分

2) 預備醃料: 切碎一個檸檬的皮(只是黃色的部分)﹑留皮略切3個紅蔥頭和2瓣蒜頭

3) 為了方便, 將肉放入保鮮袋, 加入醃料及少許塩﹑胡椒炒﹑檻欖油﹑mixed herbs,﹑basil leaves, paprika和酒，大概醃至少20分鐘

4) 開大火加少許檻欖油，將袋中醃料的紅蔥頭和蒜頭下鍋﹑爆香, 再下肉煎至兩面金黃

5) 加入2片檸檬，4湯匙黃糖，再澆酒, 酒差不多燒乾可加入1.5碗雞湯, 閂蓋用小火煮1.5小時至肉汁漸濃, 再調味，熄火讓肉在鍋中再燜45分鐘，待肉汁收回肋骨肉

6) 吃時可用中火將肉汁煮沸淋上肋骨。

The TV meal

I am not feeling energetic today. It is likely due to my neighbour is having a renovation which drilling and banging all day long. Luckily, I have managed to wrap up all the delivery and prepare a quick dinner and have it during our TV craze of 宮心計

This is a photo taken by C.

I have added an egg to thicken the curry sauce which matches the shrimps and served with rice (mixed with whole grain rice). We are trying to have whole grain rice lately for a better diet.

Homemade curry sauce is easy. Here is for 2 persons.

1. Sortie the 1/3 onion (I like to add some coriander)
2. Add in 1 table spoon of mixed curry powder (I used Koon Nam Wah)
3. In go the pan fried shrimps / meat
4. Slow cook for at least 30 mins
5. Add in coconut milk and cook until the sauce is thicken
6. Salt and pepper

Done!

Long time no see!

I have been away to UK with my hubby for vocation. It was an amazing trip. We visited the lovely Edinburgh and Bath Spa. Of course, London as well.

I will be away again to China.

Tonight's Dinner

Shrimps with garlic butter sauce to go with avocado and tomato salsa green salad.

Cool udon noodles

The weather is so hot and humid! It rained cats and dogs at 4pm while I was heading to supermarket... I ducked home immediately but my legs are wet.

I managed to scrabble the fridge with this Cool Udon Noodles served with cucumber, egg and crab meat. It takes me only 15 minutes to finish this. (another 20 minutes for the noodles and side dish to cool down a bit. )

Of course, the most essential is the instant cold sauce to go with the udon!
