Turnips Sweet Corn Pumpkin Soup | 沙葛玉蜀黍南瓜汤

最近的天气真是令人闷闷不乐。。。太阳公公,你几时出来呀!



今天来一点不一样的汤,这是我第一次用沙葛 煮汤;也是我第一次在这用中文。。。哈哈!
沙葛营养丰富,含有人体所必需的钙、铁、锌、铜、磷等多种元素。它还有降低血压、血脂等功效。我想我妈妈很合适 喝这个汤。



材料:
玉蜀黍 一条 
南瓜¼
冬菇 两朵
沙葛 一粒
红枣 8-10 粒
猪骨三块

步骤:
1.冬菇在还没有下汤时,需要浸至软。
2.肉类必须先“飞水“,这可以去除血水和汤不会浊。
3.把所有材料放入沸水里煲。开始用大火煲,然后再把火候调至小火,以慢火煲2小时。

4.汤煲好后,才加入调味料,可加入盐,随个人口味。

Fungus Apple Dessert | 雪耳萍果糖水

I used to drink this dessert when I am my 1st and 2nd pregnancy. During the time, I am very keen to drink soup, once without the soup…then I am craving for this dessert.




Fortunately, this is very easy to cook. I believe this dessert can be served anytime as you like.
I only realized fungus is such a wonderful food after I consumed so many time of this dessert.
Let’s share it out with you with some fungus’s functions:

  • Improve strong fine
  • Nourish kidney
  • Intestines
  • Improve “qi” and blood
  • Strong heart and brain
  • Refreshing and beauty
  • Rejuvenation
  • Longevity

强精、补肾、润肠、益胃、补气、和血、强心、壮身、补脑、提神、美容、嫩肤、延年益寿





With this very economy dessert, I think I should start cooking it once a week for my family.

You can replace the apple with other fruits like pear, papaya or gingko and red dates.

Nori Spring Roll | 紫菜卷



No reason and still yet to know why this Chinese New Year that I have no mood to buy any cookies from outside stalls. Thus, also not sure what’s the market price now for CNY cookies.

Am not a hardworking baker, thus will just choose some simple cookies and snacks to bake.

This is one of the snacks which is most welcoming and finished very fast during this festival.



Ingredients are pretty simple as well as the methods. I would say it’s a bit time consuming for the rolling part.

Ingredients:
Spring roll wrapper
Nori ( those used for Sushi)
Egg white

Directions:
1. Cut Nori in half and set a side (Nori must be dry).
2. Spread the spring roll on table; place the Nori on top of it.
3. Take a chopstick on the end of spring roll and Nori and start rolling it.
4. Spread the egg white on the spring roll and continue rolling with the chopstick.
5. Slowly take out the chopstick once finished.
6. Using scissor cut in slanting around 1 inch and fry in medium heat oil until golden brown.


Enjoy!
