Steam Soon Hock HK Style 清蒸筍壳

                    It's rare to find this freshwater fish in supermarket, I don't even try to think I can find the live one!   But I found it  ...

                   

                        The price, what I think, is reasonable.  This one I bought was about 800+g and it cost me 18+ bucks, even cheaper than a white pomfret.

 I steamed this fish for about 10min with high heat.

                       Get rid of the juice,ginger...etc, add in spring onion, coriander leaves and pour in hot oil.

yummy...yummy

Pancake

Ingredients: (6 pancakes approx)
Cake flour 110g,  baking powder 1/2tsp,  bicarbonate of soda 1/4tsp, 1 egg,  sugar 10g,  milk 100ml, honey 20g,  butter(melted) 20g

                    Whisk egg and sugar in a jug, add in milk and honey and whisk until combined.  Sift the flour mixture, mix well.  Add melted butter and mix to smooth batter.  Allow the batter to stand for 15 minutes. 

                    Warm a non-stick pan with LOW heat.  **NO NEED TO OIL THE PAN**  Stir and ladle in the batter.  Flip it over when bubbles begin to form on the surface of the pancake

Cook the other side about 30-40 sec and it's done

This is the first pancake, it's a bit under done, should brown a bit more.  @.@"

These 2 are just fine :)

Add on the toppings, honey is my first choice.

Homemade Roast Crispy Pork Belly 脆皮烧肉

                    Another big success!  I thank the Granny who passed me her recipe. Thank you. ;)

                    The oven I use to roast the pork belly.  This oven is known as 热波炉* in Chinese, which is actually a convention oven with heating coil and a fan attached to the cover of a big glass bowl.  The advantage of this oven is- it can reduce the fumes and smell and hence less greasy and messy cleaning after cooking.

                    A perfect crackling of pork rind, without charcoal.  The dripping oil was collected on the aluminium foil below the rack, which was then easily wrapped and got rid of.   :)

Cut the roast pork belly lengthwise, it's juicy, isn't it?

Tuck in, yummy... yummy

The DH loves this with beer

********************

                    *热波炉 is different from 光波炉(halogen convention oven). This is my oven, and it's not really a new toy.  I bought it almost 2 years ago liao.
