Cauliflower and mushroom soup another great dish I would like to share with today. Blended into smooth purée and eat together with classic combination of garlic breads, it is sure a great kick start for the day. 
       
       With usage of modern gastronomic cooking method, preparation much simpler and less attention demanding. What you need is conventional microwave and food processors. Total time from preparation until serving takes less than an hour.


  Ingredient
  • 1 tbs of butter
  • 1/4 of big shallot, diced
  • 1 medium size potato, diced
  • 1/2 cup of cauliflower, diced
  • 1 cup of chooped mushrooms (osyter, white mushroom and enoki) - i'm avoiding portobello and shiitake as it will give muddy appearance to end result
  • 1/2 cup of chicken meat
  • 1 cup of chicken stock
  • 2 slice of cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper for seasoning


 Method
  1. Heat butter in microwave proof ceramic bowl along with shallot and chicken meat.
  2.  Once butter fully melt , add on diced potato, diced cauliflower,  chopped mushroom and chicken stock into the bowl. Season well with salt and pepper
  3. Allow in microwave for 20 minutes. It will give adequate time for potato to soften and mushy.
  4. Remove the broth from microwave, quickly add on cheddar cheese, mix well until all cheddar cheese melting. Allow to cool to room temperature
  5. Once cool enough, blender the mixture well until you get smooth consistency.
  6. Reheat in microwave for 5 minutes and your soup is ready. Best served with warm garlic bread


p/s: I'm having cheddar cheese instead of heavy cream because heavy cream quite blunt...
Its been a long time since I updated my blog with last entry of pastry making. Reason?? not because of time constrain but my motivation to cook was not there. It was either "tapau" from nearby food court, eat outside before going back home or two minutes Maggi at home. Quite sedentary isn't it?? . That was how I kept myself survive for the last couples of weeks.

Today's red snapper in tom yam soup was unplanned. It just happen partly because I woke up pretty early, 6 o'clock in the morning and mostly because I don't have anything to do until 2pm in the afternoon. Even then, I literally dragged my feet and took eternity to finish the dish. Despite that, the end result was good anyway. Ate it as it is. Too lazy to spend another time in kitchen to cook rice.

Okay...'chow' for the time being. Will update my blog when my passion for cooking returns. Adios..
Trapped in heavy downpour, I was drenched even though was using raincoat at that time. It gave me chill deep to my bone and what I need was hot, tasty soup to counteract the chill. Pictures show the stew that I just made. It is not totally vegetables stew because other than using diced carrot, potatoes, pumpkin and dried shitake', I add chicken meat, frankfurter, creme cheese and egg. 
Hot vegetables stew ready to be eaten
 
Its colorful and alluring. The taste was good too..

Fresh chopped dill adds extra warmth to that stew..
After having a bowl of the stew, I planned to skip my diner as it was pretty heavy.
Yesterday, there was one documentary at National Geographic about how Americans turn their back on hamburger and opted for more healthy Korean cuisine. I was one of the audiences in the lobby watching the show and the other was my snoring housemate. I guess he is not even aware that he snored so loud that juniors who pass behind us steal a quick glimpse on him..... 

Korean cuisine that combines generous portion of vegetable and rice

By the way, that documentary was very interesting as it show the beauty of Korean foods and their nutritional value. Most of the food in the show combines a generous portion of vegetables and if meat is one of the ingredients, it is normally used in soup, paste, and stock or sauce preparation. However, there is Korean cuisine that uses meat as primary ingredient but still, it will be combined with vegetables intake. After yesterday's documentary, it compels me to to try one of the cuisines and the easiest that won't go wrong will be bibimbap. The preparation was painstakingly elaborate and need lot of ingredients. Though so, the cost for making one bibimbap is comparable to one eighth of snack plate from KFC and you can repetitively prepare it because the ingredients still plenty after you finished one.



My version of bibimbap combines rice, tops with bean sprout and the upper layer are arrange with slices of ginger, carrot, Chinese radish, onion leaves, bitter gourd and bean curd.

 Cooked bibimbap-I used fish stock and steamed the whole thing until the vegetables were cooked. It was served with chili paste that was crushed to smooth texture

Bahan hiasan termasuk cili hijau dan tomato
Kadang kala, menyediakan sesuatu makanan boleh menjadi tugas yang rumit dan payah terutamanya jikalau melibatkan banyak langkah penyediaan. Misalnya seperti telur goreng bersambal. Nampak agak senang dan ringkas tetapi bagi sesetengah orang, ianya merupakan satu cabaran tika berada di dapur. Siapa yang suka akan tugas penyediaan makanan yang rumit?? Barangkali, banyak yang memilih hidangan yang mana penyediaannya memerlukan langkah yang cepat dan minimun. Tetapi, bagi pengemar resepi, langkah yang pelbagai dan mengambil masa untuk menyiapkan sesuatu hidangan adalah cabaran yang pastinya mengembirakan sekiranya disiapkan dengan jayanya.
Memasak dengan api yang sederhana menjadikan cili hijau tetap ranggup
Bebalik semula kepada telur goreng bersambal seperti yang kelihatan dalam gambar ini. Penyediaannya memerlukan tiga langkah yang utama iaitu merebus telur, menyediakan sambal tumis dan akhir sekali menggabungkan kesemua bahan tersebut. Nampak sukar?? Sebenarnya tidaklah sesukar yang anda bayangkan. Ianya menjadi mudah sekiranya anda tahu untuk mengambil jalan pintas dalam penyediaannya tetapi menghasilkan hidangan yang serupa. Caranya?? itu hanya anda peroleh melalui pengalaman.

Masa untuk menikmati hidangan tengah hari....
