冬至快乐！

2011-12-22T04:10:00.000-08:00

今天是冬至，虽然忙着功课，但是怎能少掉搓汤圆呢！

我不会弄有馅的，就弄普通的。最重要是搓汤圆的意义 :)

但是今年试了新的汤汁，用有机黄豆自制豆浆，加了椰糖，还蛮不错吃哦！

虽然我不能每个人都把汤圆送到，就趁这个机会把最真心的祝福随照片送上吧！祝福所有在看我的部落格的朋友，冬至快乐，新的一年身体健康，事事顺心顺意 :)

2011-08-25T03:21:00.001-07:00

照顾一家大小是苹果妈妈的责任。近来天气变化很大，深怕家里2个大小苹果会热气。

今天中午就煲了罗汉果来给他们喝。

这也是米亚的最爱，可以一口气喝2大杯呢！ :)

苹果妈妈喜欢加入甘草和蜜枣。罗汉果清热，甘草解毒，而蜜枣可润喉。这真是无敌的组合啊！

材料：（serving size: 大概5大杯）

1. 大粒罗汉果1粒（苹果妈妈买的是那种大概马币5元的那种）

2. 甘草大约2-3片。不要太多，会有点苦的。

2011-08-24T04:41:00.000-07:00

一道简单健康的的菜~滑蛋虾仁芥兰花。

苹果妈妈虽然是全职妈妈，但是除此之外，苹果妈妈也有在经营网店。所以平常也是很忙的。

虽然如此，但是苹果妈妈还是尽量自己煮给老公和女儿吃，比较健康嘛！

所以，在苹果妈妈厨房出现的菜肴都是一些省时的简单又健康的食谱。

材料：

芥兰花 1颗（水煮，沥干备用）

中等虾仁大约8-10只（去壳，洗净备用）

蒜茸

鸡蛋1粒

作法：

1. 少许的油，烧热锅子。

2. 爆香蒜茸，加入虾仁炒至变橘色。

3. 加入适量的清水，加入盐或酱油，滚一滚。

4. 加入鸡蛋，不要搅，等蛋比较熟了才轻轻搅动。

5. 最后勾芡，加入水煮好的芥兰花，搅至匀就可以上桌了。

蛋包饭 Nasi Pattaya

2011-08-19T23:01:00.000-07:00

昨晚的晚餐是蛋包饭。

其实煮妇们每天煮菜也是会很烦的。要家人吃的营养，又要吃得健康，甚至要让他们不会感到厌。很挑战性工作哦！

唉，不管了，就来个简单就好了~蛋包饭！

炒饭的材料：

隔夜白米饭

萝卜（切丁）

虾仁

四季豆（切丁）

洋葱（切片）

蒜茸

苹果妈妈不是很会炒饭的。所以先把白饭以外的材料炒熟，盛起来备用。

1. 加入适量的油热一热锅，放入隔夜白米饭，炒一炒。假如盐，这样可以让饭更松散。（我不喜欢加酱油，因为这样饭的颜色不美，除非炒的是要放黑豆油的那种炒饭，那又不同。

p/s,不要用锅铲压饭，那样会是饭不会松松的。

2. 炒到均匀了，加入已炒熟的材料，加入盐，炒匀就可以了。

蛋饼的材料：

鸡蛋2颗

盐

1. 鸡蛋加盐打散。（不要加酱油哦，因为这样蛋饼就不会有金黄色那么美了）

2. 用不粘锅，放少许油热一热锅。

3. 倒如蛋液，慢火煎至黄色。

4. 小心把蛋饼拿出来，放到盘子上。

5. 把炒饭放在蛋饼上，小心把蛋饼包起炒饭。

6. 拿个碟子小心的盖在蛋包饭上，小心的倒扣，完成啦！

2011-05-23T02:15:00.000-07:00

这个简易批萨很久前就想试做了。但是想到吃了会胖，就算了。妈妈来了一个星期，苹果妈妈的重量也跟着上升，因为妈妈想吃很多东西，但是她的食量少，所以我就得陪着她吃。

今天妈妈就说她很久没有吃批萨了。所以苹果妈妈就说不如我们做这种简易的吧！不用搓面团搓到半死 ;P 所以批萨就是我们今天的下午茶咯！

材料：（3人份）

杂豆，香肠（切片），Gardenia 白面包3 片（切皮，切3角形），番茄酱或辣椒酱（苹果妈妈比较喜欢辣椒酱），Mozzarella 芝士

1. 面包涂上辣椒酱。

2. 把材料铺上面包，煞撒上芝士。（越多越好吃，苹果妈妈放的不够多）

3. 放进烤炉烤到芝士融化就可以了。

下面的照片，是还没烘好的时候，苹果妈妈是这样排材料的。

撒上芝士后。。。

锵锵。。烤好了！还蛮不错吃下，简单又好吃，下次苹果妈妈要加多多芝士了 ;P

因为苹果妈妈还有一点点的咳嗽，就泡了点豆蔻汁来喝，炖的豆蔻汁据说可以驱风止咳的。

看看近照。。

我淘气的米亚跑进厨房里拿了我刚刚切的面包皮放进嘴里扮吸血鬼, 真受不了！

蔬菜咖喱

2011-04-26T08:34:00.000-07:00

想吃咖喱，但是不想吃太多海鲜和肉类，就煮了这个。

食谱迟些再上。先看照片吧！ ;P

英文字母型通心粉

2011-03-31T04:12:00.001-07:00

今天晚上老公留在公司加班，剩下米亚和苹果妈妈在家。2个人吃也不知道要煮什么。

在橱柜里找到之前买的英文字母型通心粉，好，就煮这个好了！反正米亚很喜欢吃的。

汤料的煮法其实跟之前的蝴蝶通心粉的酱汁是同样材料的。只是有一点点改变而以。

材料：（大概3-4人份量）

2粒番茄（切丁）

一粒大葱（切丁）

4-5颗冬菇（浸软，切丁）

一粒马铃薯（切丁）

杂豆（大概饭碗一碗，洗净，备用）

鸡胸肉（半碗饭碗，切丁）

Prego 通心粉番茄酱（大概18-20汤匙，如果觉得不够浓，可以再加）

清水（6碗饭碗）

汤料的做法：

1。在锅里热一点油（不要太多，因为鸡肉会有油），加入大葱，炒软。

2。加入冬菇，炒软。

3。再加入番茄，要炒到番茄烂。

4。加入鸡胸肉，炒熟，再加入其他的材料，稍微拌一拌就加水。

5。水滚了后加入Prego 通心粉番茄酱。大火滚后小火煮大概一个小时或材料软。

6。好后，加入盐和少许的糖就可以了。(如果喜欢也可以跟苹果妈妈一样加点oregano叶，汤里黑黑一点点的就是oregano叶了）

英文字母型通心粉：

1。煮滚一锅水，把洗净的英文字母型通心粉倒进滚水里小火煮5-10

分钟或直到通心粉软了。捞起备用。

用餐的时候，装自己适量的英文字母型通心粉，加入一碗汤料里，就是一碗热腾腾，好好吃的英文字母型通心粉啦！

米亚知道我在煮英文字母型通心粉的时候，就逼不急待的一直催促我，还说她饿了，但其实她吃了很多食物了。其实她是逼不急待想要吃英文字母型通心粉啦！煮好后米亚真的跟我吃了2碗咧！

苹果瘦肉汤

2011-03-30T04:45:00.000-07:00

今天的汤~苹果瘦肉汤

Mya 和苹果爸爸都很喜欢喝汤。每次要煲汤都要想到头爆。因为好喝又简单的汤真的不是很多。一个星期有4天都煲汤，当然要让他们觉得有新鲜感咯！

真的很好喝，很清甜的味道，适合在热天的时候饮用哦！

这个汤的食谱是取自小小米桶的写实厨房。谢谢米桶，你让我又多了一个汤的食谱哦！

材料：

瘦肉(排骨亦可）。。。适量

苹果。。。。2颗

胡萝卜。。。1条

蜜枣。。。。3-4粒（我只放了2粒，就够甜了）

陈皮。。。1小块

清水。。。可淹过所有的材料再多一点的量

做法：

1。苹果削皮洗净，切块备用。

2。陈皮泡软，刮去内部白囊（若不刮除，易让汤发苦味）

3。胡萝卜去皮洗净，切块；瘦肉放入开水煮去血水，捞起备用。

4。所有材料放入锅中，加入适量的水，大火煲滚转小火慢煲1个小时半。加盐调味即可。

咸煎饼

2011-03-22T04:45:00.000-07:00

这个咸煎饼是我妈妈做的。老公最爱妈妈做的咸煎饼因为妈妈做的没有放馅料的。老公不爱有馅料的。

材料：

发籽1大匙

面粉500g

糖150g

水230ml

碱水一大匙（喝汤的玻璃汤匙）

芝麻适量

盐半茶匙

做法：

1。发籽加少许的水，搅拌至发籽溶解。

2。把少许的面粉加入1。里面，搅拌至均匀，放至待发。（大概15分钟）

3。水，糖，盐，碱水加在一起拌至溶解。

4。把3。加入2。，搅至均匀。然后慢慢的加入面粉，拌匀。如果觉得有点硬了，就不用放完面粉。放置待发。（大概整个晚上）

开始制作：

1。开始制作后，不可以再搅拌面粉团咯！用汤匙拿出一小撮，因为会粘手，所以手要沾点面粉。面粉团沾上芝麻，放在桌上轻轻按压。（如下图）

2。热油。放入热油里炸至今黄色。

我们喜欢芝麻香香的味道，所以沾了很多 ;P

看，里面没有陷料的哦！如果要加馅料，可以自行加入哦！

米蒸软骨肉

2011-03-08T10:00:00.000-08:00

这道米蒸软骨肉的食谱是取自Yum Yum的杂志的。这本书教的其实是用排骨，但是我比较喜欢用软骨。因为软骨没有排骨来的油，也没有排骨的骨碎。小孩子吃的话用软骨比较好 :)

然后我没有跟杂志里放干贝，因为家里的干贝用完了。

这道菜真的很不错吃一下，我老公和女儿都很喜欢吃哦！大家不妨试试看煮哦！ :)

材料：

50g白米，2粒八角

30g小干贝。浸软，压碎（可有可无，我的没有放也很好吃）

1块南乳

1大匙生抽，1小匙糖

1/2小匙胡椒粉，1小匙麻油

2. 白米用搅拌机打碎，备用。（记得不是打到变粉哦，还要看到小粒粒的）

3. 软骨加入调味料拌匀，腌30分钟，加入白米碎拌匀。

4. 将软骨放入蒸笼里大火蒸50-60分钟，即可取出享用。

简易蛋炒饭

2011-02-15T03:39:00.000-08:00

昨天是情人节，已经很多年没有庆祝的苹果妈妈突然想说要给苹果爸爸一个惊喜。为了准备情人节晚餐苹果妈可是想到头都破了。因为小苹果很多东西不能吃。

结果苹果妈妈在网上找到这个简易蛋炒饭来做给她吃。

那个在小碗里的是意大利面的酱汁。可以在这里找到。

因为怕热气，就连香肠苹果妈妈都是用蒸的罢了，并没有用煎的方式。

好了。先来分享蛋炒饭的做法吧！

材料：

冷饭 250g

蛋黄 2个

胡萝卜 1/2根

洋葱 1/4个

盐适量

食用油 15毫升

1. 胡萝卜、洋葱、切小丁，将蛋黄从整鸡蛋中分离备用；将蛋黄液倒入米饭中拌匀，同时将饭粒拨散使饭粒成金黄色。

2. 大火烧热锅中的油，将裹好蛋液的米饭倒入，炒至米粒呈松散状。加入洋葱丁、胡萝卜丁翻炒2分钟，最后加入盐稍微拌炒即可。

原来的食谱取自这里。

红豆汤圆~月圆人团圆

2011-02-09T16:20:00.000-08:00

这道红豆汤圆真的是迟了很多才po上来。苹果妈妈没有空嘛！

会做这道汤圆是因为老公很爱红豆汤，而且苹果妈妈也吃腻了普通的汤圆。

其实满容易做的。

汤圆做法：

糯米粉加水搓一搓直到滑，喜欢色素的就加色素。

搓好一粒粒待用。

烧一锅水，水滚了，就加入搓好的汤圆进去。待汤圆全部浮上水面，就可以捞出来了。

红豆汤：

把红豆洗净，加入一锅水。滚了后小火煮至红豆烂。大概2个小时。加入砂糖就可以了。

或者

用电子砂锅，熬整夜。加入砂糖就可以了。

最后把烫熟的汤圆加入红豆汤就可以啦！

大家不防试试看，很好吃的哟！不只我老公爱，我女儿也爱哦！ :)

白萝卜焖排骨

2010-12-01T22:23:00.000-08:00

近来因为忙完Shinnie的相约，所以人顿时轻松下来。所以会把煮好的食物都随便拍了照片。

而且近来小苹果都在学校吃了午餐才回来，所以午餐自己一个人吃的我，很多时候都随便一道菜就搞掂了。

前几天买了一条白萝卜，本来想煲汤的。但是想想，每次都拿来煲汤，很没有新鲜感。所以想说变一下。

这道菜的煮法我不知道有没有人煮过，但是我自己是没有吃过啦！所以实际的材料用量我都是凭我自己的口味调出来的。效果还蛮不错吃一下哦！

喜欢的朋友不妨试一试 :)

材料：

白萝卜一条（切块）

排骨大概RM6-8(这里我没有用排骨，因为排骨有时候会有骨碎，怕小孩子吃到。我用的是软骨肉，不会像排骨那么油）

豆酱

黑豆油

蒜头

盐和糖适量（根据自己喜欢的口味）

芫西

作法：

1. 苹果妈妈喜欢排骨先沥过滚水，这样会洗掉一些油。

2. 爆香蒜头, 把排骨炒一炒。

3. 加入已切块的白萝卜。

4. 加入水（不要太多，刚刚好盖到料就可以了）

5. 大火滚一滚，加入豆酱，适量的盐和糖，加一点的黑豆油调色。

6. 关小火焖1个半小时或直到排骨软了就可以了。

7. 上菜时加点芫西就更美味了！

其实如果加入打烂的胡椒粒去焖应该会更好吃。但是要给小苹果吃的，辣的她可不行。

而且近来苹果爸爸人比较热气，胡椒粒会比较热气，所以今天就没有放咯！

Bowties Pasta

2010-11-30T04:53:00.000-08:00

好久没有更新苹果妈妈厨房部落格了。今天想说煮些别的来给老公和小苹果当晚餐。因为平常较多时中餐。今天就来西餐吧！

就煮pasta吧！酱料该用什么材料呢？头痛了。因为老公喉咙痛和咳嗽，不能吃鸡肉。女儿不能吃辣，而苹果妈妈因为要顾好胆固醇的level,也不敢吃肉和海鲜。结果决定煮vegetable pasta.

初初老公听我说要煮菜的pasta还担心会不好吃。结果，他说很好吃呢！连小苹果都说要吃到很饱才够！ :)

材料就是Bowties pasta

而酱料是用Leggo's 的tomato + mozzarrela 的酱

里面的材料，也只是放了大葱，灯笼椒，杂豆，冬菇，马铃薯（全部切丁）

最后的时候加点盐，芫西和黑胡椒。

就这样简单的一道晚餐。

It tonifies the Spleen and Stomach, strengthens and benefits Qi, tonifies the Lungs, and strengthens the transforming powers of digestion.

Chinese angelica is used as a supplement for menstrual good health. What is not generally known is that this herb is a versatile blood tonic with many other uses.

Japanese Style Bento Set

2008-09-23T20:48:00.000-07:00

Yippie! This is my 1st Japanese style bento set for my hubby this morning!Woke up at 5am to prepare this. 1st time prepare this, still not really know how to use the tools. But when I see the result I am quite satisfy cos it is so amazing that all the tools really works! And look at the pic, all cute food in the bento box!

The curry actually was the dish that I cooked last nite, I just reheat it this morning but the mixed vegi I cooked this morning.

Look at this! wat a cute hard boiled egg! Wat a creative Japanese!

Actually they have magical pen which u can fill in sauce and draw on the onigiri, but I didn't buy it cos it is too expensive. So I just use seaweed to decorate it. The penguin sausage also I used the sausage cutter to cut the shape.

I did other onigiri too, but due to hubby is late to office, so I din draw anything on the bear, fish and elephant onigiri :(

Here are another 2 sausage shapes that cut by sausage cutter crab and fish shapes.

The above all are bread. Making this cute bread are simple. Also use the mold to cut it out and then use the mold to press in the bread to make the drawline clear.

At 1st I only buy the snoopy bento box(2-tier). But when I rec it only know that it is too small for me to put all the food in together. So just use the normal tupperware to put.

BEHIND THE SCENE, OPPS, IS BEHIND THE KITCHEN.....
1st time doing this Japanese style bento set still very kelam kabut. I've made my kitchen and dining area a big mess! Look at the pic! Onigiri mold everywhere!

This is the egg mold and sausage cutter that I mentioned.

After cut the bread to the cute shape, these are those leftover bread.

Tiring and actually quite time consuming. But high level of satisfaction :)
And I have set target that at least one day per week is Japanese bento day for my hubby. Duno I will be so hardworking or not haha....

Stir-fry Mixed Vegetables

It has been few months I never post any recipe here already. Being a full time mother is not easy. I have no time for cooking, even if I cook also I will not have much time to take photos and time for the food presentation. As long as I got dishes for lunch or dinner, that's it!

Since my hubby at home today, he can help to take care of my daughter and therefore I cooked for today's dinner. This is vegetarian food which my mum surely will cook during 1st day of CNY. Here are the ingredients:
In case you cannot see clearly, here are the ingredients: sliced ginger, tau fu skin, tong fun, dried lily bud, fungus, processed button mushroom, black mushroom and preserved bean curd(nam yu).
1. Heat the wok with oil. Add in sliced ginger stir until it turns brown color.
2. Add in all the ingredients except for tong fun and the tau fu skin as it will be soft faster than
others.
3. I know normally when u buy outside they will add water to cook until it is soft, but as for me,
I dun like to add water cos it will cause the ingredients sticky. I follow my mum's style, which
u use small heat and keep stirring, if u feel too dry, add oil and if u feel really need to add
water, just a little bit will be enuf.
4. Until u feel the ingredients is 80% soft, add in other ingredients and add in the preserved
bean curd(add water to dilute it). Stir until well cooked.

Here is the result:

Sushi

2007-11-06T20:28:00.000-08:00

Sushi rice is the most important part.

Use japanese rice(Short grained rice) and japanese vinegar(mizkan) for the sushi rice.

Rice must cook abit harder than normal rice because japanese rice is abit sticky and dun forget later need to add in vinegar, so it will be sticky.

Mizkan and rice ratio will be 1:7(based on your own favarite, some ppl dun like vinegar).

The vinegar add in salt and sugar to taste, then the vinegar mixture add in to the cooked rice.

Use the bamboo rolling mat (Makisu),put one piece of seaweed on the makisu, put the rice and put all the ingredients u like(here I put cucumber, chilli tuna and fried egg).

Use a sharp knife, to avoid the rice stick on the knife, wet the knife then cut the sushi .

Now can be served.
