CHINESE SOUP RECIPES

sorry skylar, think i was discussing something wif my boss when u called. the last time i told u 2 email her, cc the bosses, everytime u pass her things 2 do? did u do tt or not? if u did, juz relate the truth lor, put in firm (but not mean words lah). after all, it is a work issue & shall b dealt wif professionally & wif tact.

but if u didn't, then the email tt u sent the last time 2 ur boss or her (i can't remember) was good enuf, juz change the words here & there & send. dun bother 2 spend too much time thinking, afterall, i dun think ur bosses r gg 2 sack her ...
 


steady lah Lina!!

wahh.. ur ang moh also very cheem mah.. okok.. i shall send out that email to her & cc my boss.. whahha.. seems like ur scrabble is really working ya! kekeke... so when is the next boardgame?
 
wah... seems like all having a good time yakking away. 1st sept = teachers' day = holiday for me! haha...

anyway, PINK... to answer your qns abt black beans vs dao jio. actually the one u use for the fish is not really black beans la... black beans is the one use to cook wif peanuts n pork ribs for soup. yummy!

anyway, that black thingy u use for the fish is dao si... salty salty one. then dao jio is the brownish one. i dunno how it looks originally but NTUC sells them in a bottle. my mum buys the SinSin brand, i think. come to think of it, maybe they r the same, but r preserved using different methods.

btw, your that fish is it the skin is a bit silvery n white after u cook it, here n there, like patches?
 
eh mai ah ne kuan la levynn. the bottle say black beans leh. tao yan. now you say i cannot read
sad.gif


silvery and white before cooking yes, but patches i'm not sure cos the gravy kinda cover the fish liao hehe. i think no leh. and it's always sold without the head one. very nice the meat. firm firm one, and very little bones!

happy weekend everyone!

oh btw sch, my colleagues and i enjoyed devil wears prada
happy.gif
did you read the book? it's quite close but not as detailed la
 
pink... ok la, ok la... i juz thot black beans r those cook for soup mah. never say u cannot read la...

btw, i think i know wat fish u talking abt. my mum used to cook it with red chilli slices n giam chai. think got some more things, but forgot liao.
 
i have an announcement to make!!!! no, not pregnant, but when i went to market today, i got a free piece of ginger!!!! steady la, building rapport with market auntie liao!!!

hmm. black beans are err black and dao jio is brown. but whether or not they can be used for the same thing, that's the question. black beans cook soup.... i don't know leh.

the headless fish... i bought from market today, also headless. still don't know what it's called.

anyway, lunch today:

veg - kai lan with oyster sauce (no, it's not raw even though it looks like!)
soup - pork ribs and jagong with wong bok (very nice! and light)
fish - black pomfret, fried with soy sauce

dinner!
sch's recipe. fish soup! tasted better than it looks. i put SOOOOOOOOOOOO much water. at one point it kinda overflowed! didn't add giam chye but was giam enough. i used ang go li

good morning babes!!

pink... steady la. can see u slowly establishing your "name" in the market liao. haha. anyway, in my previous place market, when we buy quite a lot of vege, the auntie fr the stall will give us free spring onions or chillis. i think most vege stalls r like that now... competition.

anyway, for the black beans n dao jio... i dunno how to explain to u leh. u go NTUC n see the SinSin dao jio or not? but usually when i help my mum, she'll use the dao jio more to steam fish. n the black beans, she'll chop up wif garlic to cook ma po dou fu.

btw, your toaster oven hor, u used it to cook fish b4? i was wondering if can use it to bake salmon...
 
good morning babes

skylar my fren, limbu's eng always so cheem hor, dun nid help from scrabble, unlike some pple ..... boardgame i anytime on wan, but i think we do it in oct lah, since koye's bz tis mth, steady?

calling for ANT, u got mail ...
so now the topic is dao jio? steamed pork ribs wif dao jio very very nice. but me got no recipe hor. & for black beans, my mum use them 2 cook black bean chicken feet soup.
 
schnauzie...
the dao jio u bought is a bit brownish, rite? i use it to steam fish mostly. i'll put it together wif ginger n spring onion on the fish then steam it. no need to put a lot coz it can b quite salty.

lina...
my mum uses black beans to steam pork ribs leh... no dao jio. i also dunno the recipe. alamak, shit... i still owe u the sesame chicken recipe hor... wahahahahaha....
 
sch, there r 2 imperial treasure at ngee ann city. which one did u say the food was nice again? teochew cuisine at L4, or nanbei cuisine at L5?
 
lina - wah steady lah, i reach expo before 12 ..carpark almost full liao ah..then we go BK to makan first then yaya walk comex. then within 15mins bought a 32inch sharp lcd tv...think nowadays tv v cheap leh. mine one only 1399 somemore give me a free air purifier worth 699. then to save the $30 delivery, we CASH AND CARRY. Kaoz..lucky we came in a friend's car then managed to squeeze the big box into the back seat..and i was squashed up sitting behind!
 
good morning babes!

levynn - i never use toaster oven for fish before leh sorry.

btw, last time we had the question of how to toast belachan right? i saw some book and it says there are 3 ways (for 1 tablespoon of belachan):

1. wrap in foil then bake till fragrant in oven/toaster
2. heat over fire in spoon
3. dry fry till fragrant

after either option, pound with chilli

skylar - walau eh i think you better tell your boss about her la. when it affects you like that (i.e. your boss ask you to help her), then that's a bit jialat liao...
 
ohaiyoooooooo gers..

i'm back from aussie, weather very nice.. but my poor face suffer coz too dry..

lina, u looking for me?

topic for the day is tao jio versus black beans?they taste different lor.. but i nv tried cooking anything wif black beans, so not sure. but black beans has alot of nutritional value lor..

as for baking in oven, if u wrap your chicken in alum foil, den very hard to get crispy skin.. but hor, why u roast chicken will get oil splattered all over the oven???? add too much oil is it??

sze chuan style pork ribs is very nice but i don't know the recipe. only ate it in shanghai which was very good..
 
bunny - my mother will blender the chilli first, or get chilli paste, add garlic, and watever u want. then her method of doin the belachan is to dry fry then hor when fry need to press the belachan until it become fine powder form then add chilli paste and mixed together. voila! belachan chilli~

tea tree - tt time i follow ant's recipe for roast chickenmy oven got no splatter leh...keke after using oven i din even need to clean oven =)

hahahahaha pink so cute ah u, lup a plastic bag over ur head when u fry belachan, cut a hole big enuf 4 u 2 breathe can liao.... no nid 2 wear goggles lah. but yes, i think eyes will b siap siap
 
Hi can i check with u people... i love porridge. But my method of cooking porridge is to cook rice with lots water and put in fish slices and some soya sauce and pepper. However it taste bad. How can i improve on the taste... like what i had in the hawker centres?

Pinkbunny can advise me? I have been asking questions but no replies!
 
pink - haha KA is right..mai siao lah wear simi goggle, buey siap siap one.
My hubby love fried promfret...idiot lah...so expensive fish go n fry. tonight i am frying kuning fish (those kind u get when eating nasi lemak). garoupa is ang gor li..deep fry then add sweet sour sour..thai style is v yummy!

lina - ya lor...when carryin from the carpark i also feel abit malu..maciam like got monie to buy tv no monie for delivery haha..but the 30 i save can give me eat alot of things leh...tt evening hor i go to the sze char stall outside buy 1 black pepper crab only $16 only so yummy. i still got $24 left. waahahahah

tokin abt fish we shld do a mini project here, show picture of fish (raw) and put down the name, in chinese, ang moh, hokkien ,,watever

pink - u cook the fish chor hor, u use simi fish?
 
Sch - for fried wan...you have to get grey promfret instead of white wan. White one is more for steaming....
 
wah lau, lina... u LAZY to cook, dun use me as excuse hor... hahahaha....

schnauzie... when u buy the dao jio in the bottle, got some water in there liao, rite? i dun add water. i usually take some dao jio, then take the "sauce" fr the bottle n spread on the fish, then steam it.

pink... i also dunno the ang moh names for those fish. i like fried ba tang though... keke.

irene... u like those chok kind? or those wif the rice then u add in the soup? if it's the chok kind... me can't help u, heh... sorry...
 
lina, already replied to the mail.

pink bunny, i think u need oxygen tank rather than goggles lor. coz it get so spicy tat ur nose will feel 'sick' from breathing the contaminated air.

oh ya, i oso interested in the pork chop recipe. anyone, gers???
 
sch - KA is right. buy the black one for frying. the flesh is firmer and it's also cheaper. then just drizzle with soy sauce. yummy!!!

haha about the fish project. i think levynn is the best candidate ... since she did the melons one. hor, levynn?
biggrin.gif
*SIAM!*

i used ang go li. i asked the fish stall uncle which is fish is suitable for porridge and he recommended ang go li.

irene - i took sch's recipe. she posted it a long time ago. from what i remember:

- season fish slices with fish sauce and hua diao jiu
- use 3 times as much water as usual for the rice. use rice cooker
- soak dried scallops in hot water. after a while, press the scallops and throw everything into the rice cooker, including the water
- keep checking to make sure there's enough water
- stir occasionally
- after 2 hours, add in fish slices, pork loin, ginger
- half an hour before eating, add in ikan bilis (the small kind with no bone)
- before eating, add a dash of sesame oil and pepper, and fried shallots. if got spring onion, also can add. shiok!

err about you asking many questions but no replies... maybe we don't know the answers? we not experts you know.... keke

note to all future porridge cookers: tell your ah lao to prepare for nightmare when washing the pot!!!!

about goggles.... i think it's breathing in the belachan that makes the eyes siap siap. so maybe should wear nose clip instead. like synchro swimming kind haha. btw i cut onion also will cry one. tried once putting in fridge before cutting, ok la, a bit better
 
sibeh funny, oxygen tank!!!

pork chop recipe ... the hainanese kind ah? i think simply her got before. or are you talking about angmoh kind? that kind i buy 'butterfly' pork, then season with salt pepper, olive oil and majoram then just put in oven. my ah lao likes seasoning with worchestshire sauce and black pepper

levynn - i also like fried batang!!! but i dunno why every time i'm slicing the fish that time then it will become nua nua like that. maybe my knife not sharp enough. hmm

a recipe i'm not sure if i've posted. JIANG CONG YU PIAN!!!!

- season fish (i usually use batang) with sesame oil, hua diao jiu, pepper
- fry garlic and onions
- add fish
- just before serving, throw in spring onions

SIMPLE BO??!!
 
pink, no prob 4 me when washing the pot the last time i cooked chok. when u stir, stir a bit harder and down to the bottom of the pot, then shld b ok. if it really sticks, boil some hot water into the pot, it'll b real easy then.

Thanks bunny.... i will try it. Some people told me instead of using water with rice, can also use fish stock...not sure like that ok anot... but anyway will experiment.
 
hi irene, if you season the fish with fish sauce and hua jiao, it will already add flavour to the porridge. i'm sure fish stock will give a wonderful flavour too but remember that cooking porridge is a 3hour process. do you really want to add another 2 hours to make the stock? ...
 
pink... u see schnauzie's post... fish recipe number 4 use fermented beans? i think that is dao jio leh... but not really sure...

wah lau... ask me to do the fish one ah. can only differentiate sharks n fish... haha... ok la. i'll try la. but even if got ang moh names, also dunno the dialect...

for nua nua ba tang, i think it's becoz it's not fresh enuf.
