Sushi Sandwich/寿司三明治

Ingredients:

Sushi rice 2 cups

Rice seasoning 6 bags

Crab meat sticks 7 sticks

Japanese seaweed salad 2/3 cup

Egg 2

Roasted eel 1 bag/6Oz.

Spam 3 Oz.

Cheese 2 pieces


Directions:

Cook the sushi rice in a rice cooker.

Precook everything that needs to be cooked, steam the fish and crab stick over the water; pan fried thin sliced spam; scramble the eggs then pan fried the egg to make a whole piece egg.

When rice is ready, add 3Tbsps Japanese sushi vinegar and mix well. Then add the rice seasoning also mix well.

Get a 6 inch cake pan, tear a big piece of plastic wrap and cover the inside of the cake pan so when you finish the cake you can easily pull it out of the pan.

Add one thin layer of rice on the bottom and press it down firmly by using another piece of plastic wrap.

Add the eel evenly on the rice, then add another layer of rice, press down firmly using the plastic wrap again.

Repeat the above process with the rest of ingredients.

When done use the edge of the plastic wrap to pull the whole thing out of the pan and leave it on a plate.

Rice seasonings

Tips:

If you do not have the rice seasoning, you don’t have to use it. For the layers, use any kind of your favorite ingredients, I wanted to use avocado that day, but they were too hard to cut open. If you don’t have a cake pan, use any deep container you have at home will be fine too.

材料:

壽司米 2 杯

米饭調味料 6 包

蟹 棒7 条

日本海藻沙拉 2/3 杯

雞蛋 2个

烤鰻魚1袋/6盎司。

罐头肉 3 盎司。

乳酪 2 片

做法:

用電飯煲煮壽司飯。

預先煮熟所有需要煮熟的東西,將鳗鱼和蟹棒隔水蒸熟;平底鍋煎一下切成片的罐头肉; 雞蛋煎成一整片。

當米飯煮好后,加入3汤匙日本壽司醋,混合好。然後加入米饭調味料也混合好。

拿一個6英寸的蛋糕盤,撕下一大塊塑料薄膜把蛋糕盘里面都覆盖起来, 这样做完后你可以很容易地把它從蛋糕盘里拉出來。

在底部加入一層薄薄的米飯,然後用另一塊塑料薄膜盖着轻轻地壓下去,壓实。

將鰻魚均勻地铺在米飯上,然後再加入一層米饭,再次用塑料薄膜壓一壓。

使用其他材料重複上述步骤。

完成後,抓住塑膠薄膜的邊緣將整個三明治從蛋糕盘中拉出,並將其放在盤子中。

小贴士:

如果你沒有米饭調味包,你不必使用它。至于每一层的夹馅可以使用任何你喜歡的食材,我那天想使用鱷梨的,但他們很硬根本切不開。如果你沒有蛋糕鍋,使用你家裡的任何比较深的容器就行。

IMG_6976

I made this squid stuffed with fried rice a few days ago, and I would like to share it with you. This is a HUGE fish weighted almost 1.5 pounds. You can stuff it with other stuff  too, it doesn’t have to be fried rice. I’ve seem people make vegetables with ground meat too. If you do make it with Fried rice, you can add meat to it will be great too. I used only half the fried rice.

Squid 1.5 pounds

Sweet rice 1 cup

Some different color bell pepper for color

2-3 pieces of dried mushroom

A few pieces small dried scallop

Scallion (thinly cut)

One shallot (Finely cut)

Pull the squid’s head out of the body, peel the skin off then the tail too. Clean the fish inside and out. Marinate the fish with 1/3 spoon salt and 3tbsps white wine for 1 hour.

Steam the rice over the water for about 10 to 15 minutes, let the rice cool down a little bit.

Add 2 tbsps oil in a skillet and heat it up, add shredded mushroom, scallop, ginger and shallot first and saute for 2-3 minutes then add the rice and mix well, add 1/4 tsp salt and some black pepper.

After everything is mixed, turn the heat off. Then add the bell pepper, scallion and cheese and mix with everything.

Get the fried rice to a bowl and let it cool down to the room temperature.

Stuff the squid with the fired rice to almost full, make sure you use a spoon to push the rice down. use 2 toothpicks to close the fish. Brush the fish with a little bit of oil.

Bake the squid in the preheat oven 375F for about 20 minutes.

Serve the fish when it is still hot, you can add some lemon juice to it. ( I didn’t)

這是我幾天前做的魷魚塞飯,我想和大家分享。這是一條重近1.5磅的大魷魚。你也可以塞其他的料進去,不一定非是炒飯。我看也有人用碎肉炒蔬菜來做。如果你用炒飯做你可以加肉,這裏我只用了一半的炒飯來塞。

魷魚 1.5 磅

糯米 1 杯

一些不同顏色的甜椒取其顔色

2-3片乾香菇

幾粒乾貝

一條青蔥切葱花

薑蓉 1茶匙

瑞士乳酪3盎司

做法:

把乾貝和香菇浸泡在水中( 清潔後)過夜。 把米也泡一晚

把魷魚的頭從身體里拉出來,把皮剝掉,然後把尾巴也剝下來。清潔魚內外。用1/3勺鹽和3湯匙白葡萄酒醃魚1小時。

將米蒸約10至15分鐘,讓米飯冷卻一點。

加2湯匙油到鍋裏,加熱,加入切碎的香菇,乾貝,生薑和青蔥炒2-3分鐘,然後加入米飯,混合好,加入1⁄4茶匙鹽和一些黑胡椒。

混合後關火。然後加入甜椒,蔥和乳酪,並拌匀。

把炒飯放在碗裡,讓它冷卻到室溫。

把炒飯塞到魷魚裏塞到8分滿,時不時用勺子把米飯往下推。用2個牙籤把魷魚的口封起來。用一點油刷一刷魚。

把魷魚放入預熱到375F華氏度的烤箱中烘烤約 20 分鐘。

趁熱吃!你可以加入一些檸檬汁來調味。(我沒有)

Beef Congee/滑牛粥

IMG_6522

This is another congee dish, I am very much in love with congee recently. The cooking is very similar to the previous post pork congee, but this time I used beef instead.

https://caiqinchen.com/2019/06/29/congee-with-preserved-egg-and-pork-%e7%9a%ae%e8%9b%8b%e7%98%a6%e8%82%89%e7%b2%a5/

So add 10 times as much water to cook the short grain rice that was already frozen over night. Wait till the rice is ready, add Shredded ginger cook for 2 minutes, then add the marinated thin sliced beef to it continue to cook for 3-4 minutes.

Crack 2 eggs in a bowl and mix well, then pour the egg over the congee, turn the heat off right away.

Add some shredded lettuces on the bottom of a bowl, then add some hot congee to the bowl, garnish it with some scallion.

IMG_6525

這是另一道粥品,我最近非常喜歡粥。做法與之前的豬肉粥非常相似,但這次我用牛肉代替了。

HTTPs://caiqinchen.com/2019/06/29/congee-with-preserved-egg-and-pork-%e7%9a%ae%e8%9b%8b%e7%98%a6%e8%82%89%e7%b2%a5/

加入10倍的水來煮已經凍了一夜的大米,。等到粥準備好,加入切成絲的姜煮2分鐘,然後加入醃制好的薄牛肉片,繼續煮3-4分鐘。

在碗中打入2個雞蛋攪拌好,然後把雞蛋倒在粥上,馬上把火關掉。

在碗底加入一些切碎的生菜,然後加入一些熱粥到碗裡,用一些蔥來裝飾。

Thai Mango Sticky Rice/泰國芒果糯米飯

IMG_6224.JPG

Last year when I first tried Thai mango sticky rice I was so amazed by this dish, I wanted to make it myself, but after I came back home I totally forgot about it until last night I saw the dish online again. I have all the ingredients at home, so I made it this morning.

Sticky sweet rice 1 cup

Coconut milk 1can (13.5oz.)

Sugar 4 tbsps

Mango 1

Salt 2 pinches

If you have a rice cooker at home, then this is super easy. If you don’t have one, it will be more steps but you can still do it.

With rice cooker:

Wash rice then pour all the rice to the rice cooker, add 2/3 of coconut milk and 2tbsps sugar to the it then close the lid cook it under the sweet rice setting.

Pour the rest of coconut milk in a small sauce pan, add the rest sugar and salt then bring it to boil. Add a little bit of starch water to thicken the sauce up. Cover it up and set aside.

When rice is ready, serve the rice with the sauce on the top and some mango slices or mango chunks on the side. I added some black sesame seeks to garnish it.

Without a rice cooker:

First you need to soak the rice in the water overnight then steam it over the boiling water for 15 minutes.

Bring all the coconut milk to boil, then add 2/3 of coconut milk and 2tbsps sugar to the rice while the rice is still hot, stir until mixed.

Cover the rice with a lid and leave it for 20 minutes or until all the coconut milk is absorbed by the rice.

Meanwhile add the rest sugar and salt to the rest of coconut milk. Add a little bit of starch water to thicken the sauce up. Cover it up and set aside.

When rice is ready, serve the rice with the sauce on the top and some mango slices or mango chunks on the side. I added some black sesame seeks to garnish it.

去年當我第一次嘗試泰國芒果糯米飯的時候, 我對這道菜感覺是驚爲天人, 我想自己回家也要做一下, 但回家後我完全忘了, 直到昨晚我又在網上看到了這道菜。我家裡有所有的食材, 所以今天早上就做了。

糯米飯1杯

椰奶1罐 (13.5 盎司)

糖 4 湯匙

芒果1 個

鹽2小捏

如果你家裡有電飯煲, 做這道甜點就超級容易了。如果你沒有, 那麽步驟會多一點, 但你仍然可以做到。

有電飯煲:

將米洗乾淨倒入電飯煲裏, 加入 2/3椰奶和2湯匙糖, 然後設置糯米蓋上蓋上煮熟。

把剩下的椰奶倒在一個小鍋裡, 加入剩下的糖和鹽, 然後煮開。加入一點澱粉水使醬汁變濃稠。把它蓋起來, 放在一邊。

糯米煮熟后, 把上面的醬汁淋在飯上面加一些芒果片或芒果塊就可以吃了。我加了一些黑芝麻裝飾它。

沒有電飯煲:

首先, 你需要把米浸泡在水中過夜, 然後隔滾水蒸 1 5分鐘到熟。

把所有的椰奶倒到一小鍋裏煮開, 然後在糯米飯還熱的時候加入 2/3 椰奶和2湯匙糖, , 攪拌至混合。

在米飯上蓋上蓋子, 放 20分鐘, 或者直到所有的椰奶都被米飯吸收。

同時將剩下的糖和鹽加入到剩下的椰奶中加入一點澱粉水將其煮開, 使醬汁變濃稠。把它蓋起來, 放在一邊。

糯米煮熟后, 把上面的醬汁淋在飯上面加一些芒果片或芒果塊就可以吃了。我加了一些黑芝麻裝飾它。

Chinese New Year Sweet Rice Cake/年糕

Rice cake is a must for Chinese new year. I was never good at making one, even thought it is not something complicated. I asked my mother for help and she told me the secret of making good rice cake. Today’s rice cake is a big success!

IMG_5310

water 2/3 -1 cup

Rice flour 5 Oz.

Brown sugar 1/3 cup

White sugar 1/4 cup

Peanut 1/2 cup

Jujube 5 pieces

Oil 1tbsp

Add everything except Jujube and peanut in a big container, and knead with all your strength for 10 minutes.

Add peanut and mix well.

Grease a 6 inches foil pan, and put a pieces of parchment paper on the bottom, pour the rice flour mixture to the pan and smooth the surface.

Add the jujube on the top.

Steam over boiling water for 30 minutes.

IMG_5297

When it is cool you can save it in your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When you want to eat it, you can pan fried, deep fried or cook it in water.

Tips:

The reason to knead it because it will become very chewy. (if you do not like it chewy then don’t need to knead, just mix everything together)

Add oil to it will prevent the cake from cracking.

Curry Fried Rice/咖喱炒饭

IMG_9627.JPG

I love fried rice very much, so I make it quite often. It is pretty much the same each time, so I don’t post all of them. But this one is a little different, I added some curry powder at the end and the rice tasted so much better. I really like the smell of it, so fragrant!

Here is the link to fried rice, just add the curry powder at the end, and everything else is pretty much the same.

https://caiqinchen.com/2016/04/03/pineapple-fried-rice%e5%87%a4%e6%a2%a8%e7%82%92%e9%a5%ad/

Here is the curry powder I used.

我非常喜欢炒饭, 所以我经常做。每次都差不多, 所以我不会全部张贴。但是这个有点不同, 我在最后加了一些咖喱粉, 米饭尝起来好吃多了。我真的很喜欢它的味道, 那么香!
