In England, for example, 3 pieces of California roll are sold for about 3 pounds in some well-known Sushi restaurant, such as Yo-Sushi. It means that we have to pay more than 50 pounds when our family stuffed ourselves there. Furthermore, unfortunately, we don't have any Japanese restaurants in our town...lucky or unlucky?
So, we make some Sushi rolls to serve ourselves at home. Simple, easy, and cheap way to enjoy Sushi and also, in some sense, to play with our girl. Of course, your Sushi can be diverse and its application broad with your favorite ingredients.
Ingredients
Japanese cooked rice (Sushi rice)
Japanese Nori (seaweed)
Crab sticks
Avocado
Sushi vinegar (or rice vinegar, sugar, and salt)
Mayonnaise
Sushi mat
Clingfilm
***How to make Sushi rice***
1. Cook and steam Japanese rice (Use short grain rice. Long grain rice is not proper for Sushi)
2. Sprinkle Sushi vinegar over the rice and mix them gently
3. Cool the hot rice down using a fan
(If you do not have Sushi vinegar, you can make it^^)
a. Put rice vinegar (1/3 cup), sugar (2 teaspoons), and salt (1 & 1/2 teaspoons) on a saucepan
b. Heat them on low heat until the sugar and salt dissolve
c. Cool the vinegar
In a relaxed mood, I mowed the lawn and set up a small swimming pool for my little girl. While she was wearing her swimsuit, I pumped air into the tube not with pump but my mouth (I almost killed myself^^) and poured out water into the pool.
However, she just stands up in the small pool which looks like a palace for a princess. She would not sit down or swim even though the pool was too small to swim even for her.
Hey! darling! Why don't you sit down? Enjoy yourself!!!, I said.
No, I don't want to let my swimsuit get wet!!!, she said.
So, she could not sit down in the palace. Then, she cast off her swimsuit and played with toys properly in the swimming pool.
Frankly, I believe there are something that are not human. But I would not say that those are something like UFOs or Aliens. Anyway, there are something beyond our perception and knowledge, I think. Simply, even Bible says to us that there were (are) God, angels, and Satans which are not human beings. In addition, every single civilization has kept many interesting stories about dragons, ghosts, and varied supernatural existences.
The introduction was too long. I think, two months ago, on the way home, I saw something in the sky. It was dark but the unidentified flying objects was so bright to catch my eyes. There were more than three in the Sky. I captured them with my mobile phone camera. I reckon the objects were not airplane and not fireworks. I don't know what they were. They were (literally) UFOs^^. Very interesting experience I have ever had in England...
Maybe or maybe not, the thing that people in Europe are waiting for would be Barbecue. OK, I am. So, when this summer has come, the first thing I did was a BBQ party. Not such a big one, just for our family^^. We needed one pack of instant charcoal, pork meat, sweetcorn, sweet potato, beefsteak, mushroom to enjoy Korean style (I am not quite sure about the terminology-Korean style^^) BBQ. Just cooking the ingredients on high heat of charcoal and enjoying the food, sunshine, and our family love.
Instant charcoal, the brilliant invention for easy BBQ, I did not need any tools or fan to build a fire. What I need is just a lighter to light the charcoal...Very good.
Well, even though it looks like dull charcoal, it is very hot, hot, and hot!!!
OK, let's start to cook pork belly, beefsteak, mushroom, sweetcorn. Unfortunately, I just took a pic of pork (Oh, you can see mushrooms^^).
Then, put sweet potatos on the charcoal...I can not explain the taste of sweet potatos cooked on the charcoal. It is really fantastic. You have to try before you die^^. (I wrapped the sweet potatos with foil not to make them another charcoal)
Today, well, I can say that this is the best weather I have ever had in this year in England. Very hot, very sunny, and very cheerful!!! So, we had home-made Vietnamese summer rolls in order to celebrate ourselves this given hot Friday. Frankly, Vietnamese summer rolls is very easy to prepare and enjoy...no need to cook...no any hassle! Just shop properly, cut vegetables well, beware of hot water, and indulge yourself with the Vietnamese summer rolls.
As you may know, we are not Vietnamese and experts of the foods, so this post is just our way of enjoying the summer rolls at home. If you try the summer rolls once, lots of ideas and creativity will come into your head. This content is also one of our recipes to eat Vietnamese summer rolls.
OK. basically, what you need are (to buy some Asian style ingredients, plz pop in a Chinese restaurant):
(for four people)
Pepper 3
Hot pepper 1
Iceberg lettuce 1/3
Mushroom 5
Prawns 200g
Bean sprouts 100g
Rice paper (or Vietnamese summer roll papers) 3 packs
Sliced pineapple 1 can
Fish source 1 teaspoon
(Methods)
1. Basically, we eat the vegetables raw. However, the prawns have to be parboiled in the boiling water. (If you want, you can also parboil the vegetables in the hot water).
2. Cut the vegetable down to size.
3. Make a hot sauce by mixing fish source, pineapple juice, and chopped hot peppers (do not use too-hot-peppers, you can not enjoy the summer rolls with the peppers^^).
4. And enjoy (plz watch the video if you want to know how to wrap the roll!!!...of course the demonstration is our style...not official^^)
On Saturday, me, my wife, and my little girl went to a antique fair held in Stoke-on-Trent to look around the venue and British antiques. Some were very expensive, some were absolutely gorgeous, and some were just not impressive^^.
I think, there were one Korean family (we!!!) and two Chinese guys in the antique fair. The Chinese people look like, I suppose, dealers of antiques.
Interestingly, I could not find any "Englishness" or "Britishness" in the antique fair. Yes! they are English or British. However, I feel more English and British in a traditional English food, Fish and Chips. Some said that it is not a traditional English food, some argue that Fish and Chips is a junk food. Well, no matter what they are saying and arguing, Fish and Chips is, even only for me, really representing English and Englishness. I love it.
So, there are no other reasons why I wouldn't choose Fish and Chips as my lunch menu during my journey in the antique fair^^. Fish and Chips is a really antique. Ha ha ha.
Well. it is always good to enjoy Friday evening. No stress, no work, and no routine. For me, Friday means freedom (I know this is not a privilege only allowed to me^^). However, when I got back home, I realised something was wrong!!! My wife is sick and she said she got severe migraine during the whole Friday.
OMG.
I made dinner for her and our little girl. She had got an idea even though she was sick and got headache. I do not know what it is called, but just mix of sausage, onion, peppers (just well stir-fry^^).
Chicken Teriyaki is one of popular Japanese dishes, which is available in most fusion or Japanese restaurants. Chicken Teriyaki is well balanced by chicken and vegetables with tasty aroma. Without doubts, this cuisine is also my family's favorite all the time. Especially, when our little girl is not interested in eating foods, Chicken Teriyaki is our choice to give her a good appetite. I know there are hundreds of recipes of Chicken Teriyaki in Internet. However, I wanna show you how to cook Chicken Teriyaki at home not in their styles but in our style...Hmm...Challenging!!!
Ingredients
Chicken thigh 5
Mushroom 5
Pepper 3
Onion 1/2
Carrot 1
Crushed garlic 1/2 teaspoon
Soy sauce 5 spoon
Sugar 1/2 spoon
Bay leaves 3
Water 120 ml
How to cook
Wash chicken thighs gently and make cuts in the chicken
Pour water and soy sauce in sauce pan and boil them
When the water boils, put the chicken thighs and bay leaves and boil them for 25 minutes over medium (not so high)heat (you can add some wine instead of bay leaves)
After 25 minutes, put diced vegetables in the pan
And cook 10 minutes more (do not stir too much). Keep watch the sauce pan to check whether the water evaporates or not (not to evporate all the water^^).
Here! another our choice for our family banquet.
Peking Duck (Crispy Aromatic Duck) is a well-known Chinese national food. Due to the distinctive aroma of cooked duck, Peking Duck would be one of popular Chinese cuisine in the world...maybe^^. This is also our couple and our little girl's favorite.
Now, I will show you how to cook Peking Duck at home not in a complicating way but a simple one.
Ingredients (to serve 3-4 people)
Whole duck 1
Chinese pancakes 3 packs
Spring onion 1 bunch
Cucumber 1
Tomato 5
Hoisin sauce (or Peking Duck sauce)
Sunflower oil
How to Cook
Rinse a duck well in the water and dry it with a (kitchen) towel
Apply a coat of sunflower oil to the duck
Put the duck in a oven set to 230 degrees Celsius (preheat the oven for 10 minutes)
Cook it in the oven for 3 hours (turn the duck upside down every hour; be careful the heat)
Meanwhile, prepare vegetables (not cook them but cut down to size)
(spring onion)
(tomato)
In particular, peel a cucumber and cut like the pics (do not serve the soft center of cucumber for crispy bits)
Steam Chinese pancake 15 minutes.
Take out the duck and shred it using a fork and kitchen tongs
And enjoy
Now I upload two videos which show you how to enjoy Pecking Duck with vegetables and Chinese pancakes, and how our little girl deals with them^^.
