CHINESE SOUP RECIPES

yo babes... for mushroom lovers... found this on the net.
Brown bunashimeji mushrooms, and their white cousins bunapishimeji, are small, perky mushrooms with buttonlike caps. (Both are often labelled 'honshimeji'.)
To prepare them, gently separate them into individual mushrooms and wipe off any dust with a damp paper towel.
Not really suited for eating raw, they need cooking to transmute their mineral-edged earthiness into a full, sweetly nutty mushroom flavour. As you know, they become tender and succulent when simmered in steamboat stock - but don't overcook them or they'll become too slippery.
Another excellent way to cook them is to stir-fry them over high heat with a little butter, chopped garlic, and a dash of light or Japanese soya sauce, until lightly browned. This makes a brilliant side dish, or topping for steamed tofu, rice or ramen noodles.
Substitute a splash each of sherry and cream for the soya sauce, add salt and pepper, and you have a tasty topping for pan-seared steak, roast chicken, or bruschetta: It goes equally well with robust seafood such as pan-fried halibut or scallops, or grilled crayfish or lobster.
You can wrap small clumps of bunashimeji in bacon - especially smoked or maple-cured bacon - and grill them until smoky and slightly charred at the edges.
Eat as is, or chop the bundles finely and stir into cream cheese to make a delicious sandwich spread, or into sour cream for a decadent dip.

jhoo, y don u try Ant's Peanut soup recipe?
Ant's recipe for peanut soup:
ingredients:
peanuts
pork ribs/ chicken bones
red dates
optional:
dried scallops
wolberries
1. blanch the pork ribs with hot water.
2. boil the peanuts with water. once the water boils, off the fire. throw away the water. my dad say peanuts has alot of dirt so must boil once to clean the dirt.
3. transfer the pork ribs with peanuts into a pot or slow cooker. add water, red dates, and optional ingredients. if using normal gas stove to cook, once the water boils, use ultra small fire to boil for about 1 hour plus for the nuts to soften. if using slow cooker, then it is easier. just on the electricity and let it slowly cook.
4. Add some salt when the soup is almost done.
or if u don like herb u can try to cook ABC soup..think that shld be the simplest

here's a joke for u... dun stress on a friday!
A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring. He replies: "I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you"
She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."
"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me." She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that: number one, you have to be single and number two, you must be Catholic." The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I'm single and Catholic!" "OK" the nun says. "Pull into the next alley."
The nun fulfils his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying. "My dear child," says the nun, "why are you crying?" "Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish." The nun says, "That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party."

hi guys. lao niang is still in office. tomorrow working again. sigh. this month is going to be SIBEH busy for me.
sch, don't worry babe, i also stress alot for my wedding cos ah lao more interested in playing his comp game all the time than helping me. but i learnt that it's cos we girls grew up with an idea of what our idea would be. for guys they don't. and we take to heart whatever other people say as well. then stress ourselves out.
my advice is to ask your parents for their list of people to invite FAST. cos mine took their time and only gave them to me like a week before the day. then plan like siao. but everything worked out beautifully and we all had a great time
also, you should each find a friend that you can trust and these two people (usually best man and bridesmaid) will make all decisions for you on your big day. like no more wine - order more? etc. so they should know what kind of decisions you'll make and make it on your behalf, so that you can just relak jack and enjoy your big day

i give u all face, so try out those recipes that you painstakingly type out on the board mah! whahah..
i only use chicken leg, never use whole chicken.. so managed to finish lor. hubby loves the chicken n soup.. say it is very good n shiok...
for the wintermelon soup, i did not use the huge steamer that skylar ah bu use. coz i don't have such a pot. wat i did was to use the biggest pot i have and use the rack (used for steamed fish) and then add water. then put the melon on a steel bowl and steam. the dessert was very shiok. hubby say nxt time when his family come over for dinner, i should do this again. sure will impress his mum.

sch, yup, i scoup the dessert and dig the walls of the wintermelon into the bowl and eat. i did add water to the pot once in a while coz worried too little water. but i use small fire to cook.
lev, thanks.
sch, i got uob a/c but was told their internet transfer not very safe leh. most reliable is posb.

ah pink, the chicken is very shiok. u should try. yep, we miss seeing the retro sia table! quick post more pics to show us.
sch, i think it will taste weird with knorr lah. go and buy chicken essence lah. and add some salt before steaming hor. i add some salt and water so that got more 'soup' to drink.

okie lah, lev, i can still remb the steps, so type it out for u. so u must try n share the pics k... 
- wash the chicken and stuff the chicken with herbs. i used danggui, dangshen, huang qi, shan yao, yu zu, wolberries, red dates. skylar ah bu also add ginseng and dong cong xia cao which i lazy go n buy. i used those herbs tat i have at home.
- wrap chicken in plastic and then alum foil. put in steamer and steam for 2 hours.
- when chicken half done, pour chicken of essence into the chicken. being the lazy me, i pour that into chicken right from beginning before wrapping the chicken and put it to be steamed. and i only steamed for 1 hour coz i cooked only 1 chicken leg. i presume cook whole chicken will take much longer time.

haha levynn, i think we asked the same question the other time also, but i don't remember the answer
let me bitch a while can? ... my colleague said "pink, you want to write a joint press release for XXX (another company) to vet through?" i said "no, if it's joint press release then it should be joint effort". nabz. JOINT means 2 people doing the work hor. and i'm busy enough as it is. i don't need another company (that's not paying me money) to tell me to change what i write. if you're so picky about what i write then YOU write it
ok ending of bitching.

sch, yep, just buried the chicken with the herbs coz got no chicken ass to stuff the herbs..
hmmm.. plastic bags, i got 1 big packet at home. coz when i buy food back from supermarket, will split into 2-3 bags eg like pork ribs. so these bags come in handy. so that when you de-frost your food, no need to de-frost everything. in that way, your food don't spoil easily. but yep, you can kah pok from supermarket. whahah..
as for herbs, MIL buys in bulk coz she get auntie discounts! n she prepare in boxes for me. so i don't know which herbs look like wat.
pink, your coll good ah, very good at taichi! ignore her/ him! siao manzz.. think u so free to do other people's job meh.
