Spray some oil on the octopus grill pan when heat up on fire, pour a little bit of the flour mixture to the pan, if it starts jumping and making a loud noise then it is ready. Pour the flour mixture into the pan. Only pour enough to cover the holes do not over fill them and turn the heat to medium.

On each holes put one piece of shrimp, one pieces of Octopus, two pieces of peas, sprinkle a little bit of scallion, red ginger. Use a bamboo stick to turn 90 degrees when the bottom is solidified, and add a bit of flour mixture to the free space.

2-3 minutes later turn the entire Octopus balls over, this time make sure push all the  extra parts  to the bottom so the balls will look round and pretty. Turn down the heat when doing this part. And turn the heat back on to medium when this is done.

低粉 100克

八爪鱼 80 克

鸡蛋 2个

水 1.25杯

中号虾6只

青豆 32粒

青葱 2根

寿司红姜 少许

做法:

红姜,青葱切细丝

虾除壳去线 每只切成3 块

八爪鱼切小块后在滚水中煮15分钟后捞起。

拿1.25杯煮八爪鱼的水或高湯加入粉中,加鸡蛋,1/4茶勺的盐,1/4茶勺的鸡粉搅拌均匀。

把章鱼烧的盘子放火上加热时喷一点的油在上面, 先挑一点的浆在盘子上试一下火候,会马上吱吱响时就可以把浆倒入盘中凹槽里,第一次倒时倒刚刚满就好了,不要漫出来

在每一个凹槽中都放一片虾,一块八爪鱼,俩颗青豆,一点葱,红姜,烧到底部凝固时用竹签挑起到90度再加一点浆到凹槽处空余出的空间

烧2-3分钟后就把章鱼烧整个翻过来,这个时候要注意要把多余的部分全部塞到底下去章鱼烧才会圆滚滚好看。 做这部份时把火调小。全部翻个后再把火调大。

再烧3-4分钟就差不多了。 要把章鱼烧多转几圈保证每一面都金黄好看。

把章鱼烧排在盘子里, 浇点Okonomi Sauce, 日本的蛋黄酱,撒点紫菜丝,柴鱼片就可以吃了。

Fish Ball Soup/鱼滑汤

IMG_3621

马鲛鱼肉1000克

蛋 2 个

地瓜粉1杯

姜蓉 1大勺

水1/4 杯

盐1茶勺

鸡粉 1茶勺

白胡椒粉 1茶勺

把鱼肉剁碎后放一个大盆里,用檊面杖的一头来捣鱼肉大概30分钟

加入鸡蛋,水和盐搅拌均匀后继续捣大概15分钟

加入地瓜粉, 姜蓉,鸡粉,胡椒粉继续捣10分钟

如果喜欢还可以把香菜切碎后加入到打好的鱼茸里,更香。 爱吃福州鱼丸的买点碎肉包进去就是福州鱼丸了。

IMG_3607

鱼汤做法:

烧开一小锅水, 把鱼浆用汤勺舀出小块的放滚水中煮3-5 分钟后捞出

另一锅中烧开一些高汤,把煮好的鱼滑放入高汤中加一点盐,醋,白胡椒粉,香菜调味就好了。

那天在做了一半以后觉得用檊面棍来捣太累人了,所有在加了鸡蛋后就用手动搅拌器来搅了, 效果很好。 所以如果你怕累的话就试试用搅拌器来做好了。

Mackerel fish 1000 g

Egg 2

Potato flour 1 cup

Ginger 1 tbsp

Water ¼ cup

Salt 1 teaspoon

Chicken powder 1 teaspoon

White pepper powder 1 teaspoon

 

Cut fish really fine and put it in a large bowl, use one side of a rolling pin to punch the fish for about 30 minutes

Add eggs, water and salt to mix well and continued to pound for about 15 minutes

Add sweet potato starch, ginger, chicken powder, white pepper continue to pound for 10 minutes

If you like you can also add finely chopped cilantro to the fish paste for more flavor. If you like Fuzhou fish ball, wrap the ground meat inside the fish paste, and it will be even better.

IMG_3632

Fish soup direction:

Boil a pot of water, use a spoon to spoon out some small amount of fish paste and cook in boiling water for 3-5 minutes.

In a saucepan, bring some stock to boil, add the cooked fish pastes with a little bit of salt, vinegar, white pepper, cilantro for taste.

 

Tip: half way through the process that day, I feel it was too much work to use the rolling pin so I used electronic mixer instead after I added the eggs, it worked really good. So if you don’t want to get really tired, go ahead and use electronic mixer.

Chicken Mushroom Noodles Soup /小鸡炖蘑菇

IMG_3599

前几个礼拜去外面吃了东北菜, 对小鸡炖蘑菇特别情有独钟。虽然吃的是带汤的鸡肉,但 他们家的鸡肉很入味, 我就一直琢磨着怎么才可以把鸡煮的这么好吃。 昨天我的好朋友来看我 带来了一只她自己家里养的鸡。 这下我就赶紧去实验一下小鸡炖蘑菇。 我觉的把鸡肉先腌一下再煮可能会让鸡肉好吃入味。还有在加水之前要焖煮到味道进到鸡肉里后再加水也很重要。 今天的这道菜真的是好吃到没朋友。

IMG_3586

鸡肉1磅

干茶树菇 40克

红薯粉丝 4盎司

姜 2 片

八角 1颗

葱一根

干辣椒 1个

鸡肉加1/4茶勺的盐, 1大勺的红糟酒,1/4茶勺的鸡粉腌制几个小时

烧锅水,开了之后放入粉丝煮大概10分钟到软。 捞出粉丝备用。 同锅水中快速放入鸡块烫一烫捞出。

锅中加一大勺油加热,放入葱,姜蒜爆炒到香加入鸡肉,1/4茶勺盐,2大勺生抽和4大勺的红糟酒快炒2分钟,盖上锅盖焖2-3分钟。 等到这时鸡肉已非常入味了, 加入茶树菇和水(包括泡菇的水)盖上盖子再煮10分钟就可以了。

最后把粉丝放进鸡肉汤中, 美味的小鸡炖蘑菇就成了。

Chocolate Cake/巧克力蛋糕

IMG_3532

I had never liked chocolate cake, but a few days ago I saw a recipe online by someone name Shinee from Sweet & Savory, the cake looked so delicious, too delicious that I couldn’t wait any longer to make it today. Here is the cake I made, it is really moist and soft, even someone like me enjoyed it so much! The only change I will make to this recipe will be cut some of the sugar if you’re Chinese who doesn’t like really sweet food. I strongly recommend it to chocolate lovers!

Here is the link: http://www.sweetandsavorybyshinee.com/supreme-chocolate-cake-with-chocolate-mousse-filling/

  1. Pour the batter into the cake plates. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool them on the rack for 10 minutes. Then remove them out of the baking pan to cool completely.
  1. In the meantime, we can prepare chocolate mousse filling. In a small bowl, dissolve instant coffee powder and cocoa powder in hot water.
  1. Melt the chocolate until smooth in double water boiler. Turn off the heat, let cool.
  1. Whisk cream and sugar together until hard peaks formed.
  1. Stir in cocoa in melted chocolate. Add half of the cream stir and then add the remaining cream and stir until you don’t see any white streaks. Refrigerate until you are ready to make the cake.
  1. Cut each of the cake into two equal pieces. If your cake has a small hump, cut the top off. Place about 1/4 of the mouse on the first cake layer, then put the next layer of the cake with another quarter of the mouse, and continue to build the cake. Use a spatula to smooth the surface of the cake. Leave the Cake in refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight.
  1. Once the cake cools, pour the cream into a small sauce pan bring it to bubble but not boil. Pour hot cream into the chocolate mixture, then mix until smooth. Stir in butter to add some luster.

我 從不喜歡巧克力蛋糕,但幾天前看到了有个叫Shinee的人的蛋糕看起來很可口,美味,我今天迫不及待的做了。這裡是我做的蛋糕,真的是又濕潤又柔軟,即使像我這樣的人也吃的津津有味 !如果你是中國人的话建议少放些糖。我这次只放了一杯糖,还是觉的太甜。 我強烈推薦它給巧克力愛好者 !
