CHINESE SOUP RECIPES

[pinkbunny]

eh skylar. walau i tok about virgin only you also follow. basket. virgin and massage in the same sentence. oi you are an ah pek that frequents bangkok is it? hahahaha (no offence, lina, we often tease other)

ok seriously, now that you mentioned, lina, i've also heard about following the pattern but i don't know where to cut and what grain to follow. sigh....

eh KA i also looking for deep fryer. but hor the simply her one kinda looks quite small leh.

 

[fat]

pinkbunny - har nor...abit small rite? Eat wat like tat?? so small. Anywhere selling bigger & cheaper wan hah?

Btw ah...abit kpo. Why call Lina "lina virgin" hah?

 

[demio]

to soften the pork just beat it.. just beat it beat it...

after you slice liao use the back of your knife to pound on them... that will damage the fibre n tendon so that the meat is soft....

ay hiao bo?

 

[ckw1011]

good morning pretties, god, the weather's crazy, isn't it? hot like hell...

no worries pink, skylar & i known each other 4 ages, so i noe her pattern, polluted polluted brain that charbo has, always thinking of "horny, kinky ... stuff", rt skylar? lol. btw, pink, u sound like a v good cook leh, i ask u huh, wat's the diff bet grill and pan fried? is use the same that type of non-stick pan tiobo?

KA, not "lina virgin" lah, shld b lina's virgin posting, cos tt ginger egg soup recipe was my 1st on tis thread. the choc cake one from women's weekly, so not counted.

 

[pinkbunny]

haha demio, i think beating the pork is a good idea. it's a great source of stress relief also! keke.

lina, no la, not a good cook. i try to experiment. i love herbs like thyme and basil. my MIL is a pretty good cook (but all fatty ang mo chia kind) and my mum doesn't cook. my granny cooked alot when i stayed with her in my younger years so i guess that all put together motivates me to try to learn. i want to be the kind of mum (next time la) to have dinner for kids at home every day. i think it's a very nice thing to do and to look forward to. many people take it for granted.

hello, don't test me with this kind of cheem thing leh. i dunno what's the diff between grill and pan friend la basket. i just use my trusty tefel pan for almost anything

 

[pinkbunny]

KA - maybe we should to go mustafa to check it out ya? (deep fryer).

ladies, i'm damn serious about buying deep fryer. but for that i think i need to psycho my husband big time sia!

ok another recipe. play cheat one. 1 piece cod fish, seasons with teriyaki sauce. then pan fry (note to lina: as in FRY IN THE PAN) with thin strips of green pepper. shiok leh. i learnt to like green pepper.

how about another: use foccacia bread as your base. spread tomato paste, add on ham, pineapple, green pepper, mushroom, and sprinkle mozarella cheese. put in oven. TOASTER OVEN ALSO CAN! until cheese melts. it looks damn hard to do but it's so so simple! just a bit tedius if you doing for big group la cos toaster oven isn't exactly the biggest thing in the world hor

 

[pinkbunny]

i'm on a roll! (where IS everybody this morning? never mind i talk to myself...)

SAMBAL UDON!
1. cook udon in boiling water(note: 1 pack of udon can feed about 2 normal appetite people)
2. fry sliced fish cake, crab stick, straw mushroom and a bit of chicken
3. mix sambal chilli (in a jar kind) with hot water in bowl
4. pour sambal mixture into wok where ingredients are frying, then add udon.

super easy. less than 10 minutes cooking time. my all time fav.

 

[demio]

PB not ask you to abuse the pork ok! u whack too hard wait the pork will get cut too.... then your neighbour will come and chop you...

you gals really think deep fryer useful? i just use my trusty $28 pot from prime.... deep fryer like quite waste oil n only has one purpose leh.. hmmm...

grill usu refer to exposing the meat directly to heat (think BK flame grilled chicken) while pan fry is.. well, using a pan...

 

[skylar]

Wahh lau eh.. come in late nia.. see u all tokking bad abt me liao.. how can liddat one?? bor ho lah u all.. haiz..

[pinkbunny]

demio, what $28 pot from prime!!! well it does use up alot of oil but after that can recycle mah. (auntie talk again)

skylar - you come in late or early, we still can tok bad about you!

hey...you juz got married ah? must update me leh...coz me newbie mah

btw, are the gals here all newly married hah?

 

[ckw1011]

KA steady, tis kinda of bu tang also u noe. btw, me not "newly married" hor, feel veri "lao fu lao qi" already, hehe

Pink, if u r the type who can take liangteh, then the taste of ba zhen soup is chickenfeed. though personally i find the taste quite yucks. my auntie used to make that 4 mi, but i always find excuses not to drink it p seriously, i think b4 drinking ba zhen soup, u cannot eat or drink certain stuff, so for ladies who want 2 try. check with the fellas at the chinese medicine shops ya. me suaku leh pink, simi si pho ...

 

[pinkbunny]

hey KA, lao niang is 1 month and 9 days old as a MRS. keke. you leh? off the market liao?

herbal smell can. i love yao cai chicken. but the really bitter kinds, really la, i will puke leh. brands essence of chicken also. cannot take it...

okie today i will go buy ingredients for ba zhen

lina - pho means 'soup' i think. pho hoa is a good viet restaurant in sg. i think holland v got one. it's very very tasty soup

 

[fat]

Bo bian leh...my ah lau love this soup man! Surprise rite? But cannot drink too often coz later kenna nose bleeding...hahaha

im considered Lau Fu Lau Qi too even though I held my traditional wedding last year May but I got ROM in 1998....long enuff boh???

I like Pho also...damn shiok man the soup! Think boat quey got one too...but dunno close down oredi anot lah....

 

[pinkbunny]

KA! i thought the soup is for the time of the month! why your ah lao go and drink? walau eh!

wah 1998!!!! you ROM when you were 13 years old ah?! (siam!)

yes man, pho is happening. i will show you many many pho photos (haha so funny. pho photos) when i come back and make you lao nua!

 

[fat]

actually ba zhen...guy also can take but not too much and ah lau juz simply love it lah...dunno why also.

wat? juz show pics nia? bring some back lah...kakakaka....kidding!

 

[ckw1011]

what does the "pho" taste like? anything like tom yam soup? haha, now i really feel like a mountain tortise?

 

[fat]

lina - pho taste sweeter. not like tomyum spicy and sour. there's a cup noodle selling in supermarket, the brand is KOKA. They have the flavour of Pho...you can try it out coz the taste quite similar but of course not as good as the original wan lah....quite good...ive tried it before

another way to soften pork or any kind of meat is to add flour when you are marinating it.

[fat]

Pinkbunny - good! If you face any problem with the ba zhen soup..let me know ya!

Skylar - okie! but will only cook it on Sun nia...and I will be adding chicken instead of bak kut coz ah lau dun take pork...oh yah...he's not muslim juz in case...kekekek....he's half halah wan

 

[levynn]

KA... u try wif chicken already n let me know how it went?? heh.

anyway, i thot those chinese medicine hall got sell all these packet bak kut teh ingredients... can juz buy the meat n add in...

 

[skylar]

KA,
okok... let me know then.. kekee.. coz i also sama sama like ur hb leh.. dun really fancy pork lor.. kekeke..

 

[fat]

Hmmm...those pre-pack wan ive never tried tat before but heard from my SIL that the taste abit mild nia...maybe put 2 pkt will be stronger? Tat's my suggestion lah...or maybe Sun I try the packet form wan 1st than let you gals noe how is it.

skylar - yah lor...nowadays not many pple like pork leh.....

 

[pinkbunny]

levynn - i don't really like the packet BKTs. like no kick. this one i was really surprised. it looks tough but seriously, it's just boil and boil. i tell you, the sense of achievement when you drink it is indescribable

i'm not a big fan of pork either but this one and wantan and soft soft jiang cong pork i like

not sure if the taste will be diff if you substitute pork with chicken though. hmmm.

KA - i bought ingredients for ba zhen today! $5 for 2 persons' portion. if i don't want to put hard boil egg can? i'm not a big fan. the medicine shop auntie said boil 4 bowls of water to make 2 bowls. walau i think it will be super KOR leh. i better put more water. tonight/tomorrow i will make then let you girls know okie?

hey where is ivy.... ivy... i scared you away is it? ok la, don't bai ni wei shi la, come back ok?
