Macanese Minchi

~ Posted on Tuesday, August 11, 2015 at 7:23 AM ~

Was browsing through my My Attempts in Making Yummylicious Food! album on my FB page and I saw this dish I made in December 2014.

That time, I still have a small packet of minced pork in my fridge and I bought a big pack of potatoes yesterday (reduced to clear bargain must grab LOL!). So I googled around looking for recipes that uses minced pork and potatoes.

Ta-daaaaa.... and I got Macanese Minchi!

Apparently, this dish is a traditional dish in Macau which is made with minced beef and/or minced pork, potatoes and onions.

Cool, learned something new! I get to merge our kiddos' favorite dish (minced pork in sweet soy sauce and garlic) with MY favorite dish (braised potatoes in sweet soy sauce)

Dinner - Before & After

~ Posted on Friday, August 7, 2015 at 7:13 AM ~

Last year, I wrote about a look back into my home-cooked journey so far. Then shortly before the end of 2014, I wrote a post on my preparation when cooking. Then I thought, "Why not snap a picture of before start cooking and the final results after cooking?"

So, here you go..

Left part of the picture is the ingredients all ready to be cooked on 17th  April 2015. Ingredients on left (top to bottom): Pork sliced thinly marinated with sweet soy sauce and sugar, a slice of stingray marinated with turmeric and chilli powder, a bowl of cauliflower (chopped thinly), 4 cloves of garlic sliced thinly, a bowl of dark soy sauce + water + sweet soy sauce, a bowl of red onion chopped thinly, a bowl of chilli powder + water + salt + sugar + lemon zest.

Sweet & Sour Stingray

~ Posted on Friday, July 31, 2015 at 6:05 AM ~

For this post, I am sharing my next food recipe, Sweet & Sour Stingray. I first tasted this dish a few years back and just loved it! Without further ado, here is the recipe for Sweet & Sour Stingray:


Ingredients:
* Stingray (
cleaned, dried as much as you can)
* Turmeric powder, salt & pepper to marinate stingray & cornflour to coat
* Babas' chili powder (about 2 tbsp)
* Onion slices
* 3-4 tbsp of Chili Garlic Sauce (Brand: Huy Fong Foods Inc.)
* 1 tbsp of Hot Chili Sauce (Brand: Huy Fong Foods Inc.)
* Sugar (about 1 tbsp), water (about half cup), lemon sauce (about 1 tsp)
* Oil for frying - about 2 ~ 3 tbsp


Methods:  

* Make sure stingray is as dry as possible (use paper towel to absorb)
* Marinate
stingray with turmeric powder, salt and pepper before coating stingray with corn flour (to prevent it from sticking to the pan)
* Heat oil in frying pan, fry the onion slices for a minute or two.
* Fry the
stingray for about 4-5 minutes before frying the other side for about 3-4 minutes.
* Pour in the sweet and sour sauce mixture.
* Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes.
* If stingray flakes upon poking with chopstick or fork, then it is done.

 

Outcome:

Sweet & Sour Stingray
