New Year Resolution 2015

Dear friends and fellow bloggers. So sorry that I have been missing for couple of years. I have been traveling a lot and also ate a lot of good food. These inspired me to cook something new and old everyday for myself and my husband. These days, I ask my husband what is his craving for dinner and then I am going to make his choice of food for dinner. I promise to make it easy for you too. Thank you and enjoy the show.

Chef Chong's First Breakfast Casserole

Honestly I have no idea what ingredients in a casserole dish before until I googled it. The reason I was making it because of a friend who is in the same art class asked me to come up with some menus for her daughter's brunch bridal shower and she insisted to have a breakfast casserole. I told her that I never made one before but I can do it for sure. Actually, it is very easy and if you have a correct seasoning, its really taste good. The cheese of your choice makes the casserole tastier. Try this and I am sure you will love this.

Ingrdients:

4 cups shredded Russet potatoes
4 whole Eggs
1.5cup Milk
1 lb Bacon crisped
1/2 teaspoon ground Black pepper
2 cups white mushrooms sliced
2 yellow onions diced
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon chopped parsley
1/2 cup shredded cedar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Method:-

Baked the shredded potatoes with some olive oil and salt until little brown in the casserole pan at 400F. Then let it cool.
Mixed the eggs, milk, parsley, salt, pepper, bacon crumbed, in the casserole.
Sautéed mushrooms and onions separately and put them in the casserole too. Mix well.
Add the cedar and mozarrela cheese on top and bake at 375F for about 45 minutes until brown and set.

Plum Persimmon Tartlets



That day, my neighbor, Mary Ann invited me to another neighbor's house, Milo, to pick some plums in the backyard. He has a very beautiful backyard with green lawn, a gazebo with nice outdoor furniture set, some beautiful colorful flowers and some healthy fruit trees especially the santa rosa plum tree. I was amazed by the number of colorful purple magenta light red plums hanging on that giant tree, just like Christmas tree full of colorful ornaments. I said to myself that I am going to get a plum tree in my backyard too. Now, it is my recipe making this plum tartlets and added in some persimmons too. The crust recipe is one of my favourite recipes I have. Enjoy the summer treats.

Healthy Chicken Beans

I was making this chicken dish because of wanting to eat healthy and light. I used 2 big pieces of chicken thigh with drumsticks to make into a big pot of chicken soup (as usual way of making a soup with celery, carrots and onions). However, the chicken has to be cooked just right or little al dante. Take out the chicken and let it cool down so that you can shred the meat out. No Skin for this healthy eating. Once shredded, saute some beans (I used turtle purple beans just like purple string beans) with carmelised onions and some ginger. Add some garlic salt to taste. Once near to done, add the shredded chicken meat into the pan and mix all together, saute again for a min or two. Thats it, healthy chicken beans for dinner. No starchy food. Garnish with cucumber and bell peppers, or any other vegetables you like. Lastly, drizzle some soy sauce on top and you can enjoy this meal in front of the TV.

Seared Rockfish Masala

This is a very good dinner, healthy and light. I got the Rockfish from Costco and actually it is a good white fish, the meat is flaky and moist when cooked. So here is how I made my Seared Rockfish Masala. Seasoned those fillet with masala, garlic salt and some ground black pepper. Use a non-stick pan to sear them about 3 min each side on medium to high heat (use vegetable oil). Then throw in some diced vege you like, such as bell peppers, asparagus, parsley and green onions and then cover the saucepan with a lid for a min or two. The reason is to have some moisture in it (the sauce). Lastly, take the lid away, stir the vege and add little garlic salt to taste. You will love this...

The green vegetable is Kale. I grow Kale every year in the garden. Take out the stem, cut the leaves in small stripes, cleaned and sauteed with vege oil, garlic salt and mushrooms. Add little water to cook this, so that the kale will get softer. Say about 3-5 min.
