Thank, but any different between regular sugar with the sakura sugar?

Nice 1 samanta, my first time saw pork slices bak gua. Interesting indeed.

your sushi got alot of air inside, try packing the rice a bit more... did you add mirin to the rice? i was unable to see clearly whether you are using the normal grain rice or the japanese short grained rice. Try compacting the rice a bit more, adding some vinegar will loosen the starch content when compacting the sushi, leaving enough room for smooth texture. If you are using normal grain rice (local) do add a bit more water to the rice to make it softer and stickier.

popcorn513, did you use Japanese rice when making sushi and maki? If your skills and technique is great to make sushi rice, it doesn't matter if you are using Japanese rice or local rice. Kampachi Japanese Restaurant have a great 'kung fu' making their rice (local) to sushi rice and all those stickiness.

Speaking of the pink Sakura Denbu, have you seen those Maki sold outside coated with pink colour powder? That's the one.

Haha ya, i failed to compact the rice due to try using the plastic sushi maker bought from Daisho.

Haven't got the mood to buy the sakura denbu yet, will try it out once i got time.

Steamed Cod
14 Mar 2010

After doing my All About Ah Vey thread i felt something of fishness
so I go get a big slab of cod fish 雪鱼.

I just sliced some gingier/garlic/shallot put on top, and some yellow onion on the bottom to prop it up and add some flavour



Steam for 12 minutes on medium fire.

Then I pour in a mix of superior soy sos, a dash of sesame oil



The sweetness of fish is nice, this cod is very nice cut and quite pricey also
but i eated the whole slab just like that.

Great afternoon snak!

after see al of ur n ur friend cooking, its make me super hungry now

cannot see the pic liao. no pic cannot make.

I've been looking for a thread like this FOREVER! lol

Hey, I hope moderator can make this into a sub forum, because cooking have a lot of area like "Vegetarian" "Italian Food Indian Malay Chinese etc." "Fast food that easily made in 5 mins"

Btw, good job on this thread!! It seem so delicious

Usually those who cook prefer to blog it. I post here cos lyn is ma personnel blog.

Okay la I also wanna share some recipes. Sorry I dont have rajin step by step pictures like vey99, only the last final product. I call this fast chicken under 30 minutes or less.

What you need:

3 pieces of Chicken Breast cut in strips

1 Lemon

½ teaspoon cumin

Lots and lots of grounded black pepper

Salt

McCormicks Mushroom Gravy Mix

1 onion, sliced

Half Green pepper, chopped

A handful of frozen mix vegetables

Step 1: Cut chicken into strips. Season with lemon juice, salt, cumin and go crazy with the black pepper like you’ve won a free supply for an entire year! If possible try to marinate it an hour before cooking, otherwise, cooking it immediately would do just the trick too.

Step 2: Fry the chicken until cooked and remove from pan.

Step 3: Mix McCormicks Gravy mix with 1 cup of hot water, mix it well until lumps disappear.

Step 4: Add oil in pan, fry sliced onion and green pepper till soft, add the gravy mix and throw in the frozen mix vegetable. Add cornstarch with added water if you want your gravy to be thicker.

Step 5: Arrange chicken on plate, then top up with gravy mix. Best served with a side of wedges and vegetables.

Your end product:

the sauce looks deliciose!

the mccormicks gravy i assume is not cheap ...
i saw some gravy in pack, over rm10 one for 2 serving...

The chicken also very delicious you know

Nah it's about RM5 for a packet. Maybe less. Can add cornstarch to it to make the sauce thicker. I've seen those expensive ones too but never tried it.
