Creamy Chicken and Rigatoni


Recently, I started to reduce cooking asian food and tried to cook more american food. One of the reason is asian food needs more ingredients and takes more time to prepare it. The other reason is not easy to get all the ingredients that i used in Germany. So I really have no choice.

So I looked for recipes everywhere. This is one of the recipes that I like from Betty Crocker's website. Pat loves it,too. We cook this once a week. I hope you will like it,too.

This is the recipe:

Creamy Chicken and Rigatoni

1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) Muir Glen® organic diced tomatoes, well drained
2 cups whipping (heavy) cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
2 1/2 cups rigatoni pasta (8 ounces)
1 package (16 ounces) frozen broccoli, red pepper, onions and mushrooms, thawed and well drained
Shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired

1. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, garlic, basil and oregano in oil about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink in center.

2. Stir in tomatoes, whipping cream, salt, pepper and red pepper. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered about 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.

3. Cook and drain rigatoni as directed on package. Stir rigatoni and vegetables into chicken mixture; cook until hot. Serve with cheese.

【Our Dinning table】Taiwanese Pork Chop, Seasoned Rice and pickles




I love to cook!! Yes, I only cook chinese food. Once in a while I will make some dishes that aren't chinese food. But we eat rice every day in Taiwan. So that's what I cook here,too.

When I was pregnantt with Ian, I had a hard time getting all the food that I craved. Because I only craved for chinese food. Actually, Taiwanese food. Obviously, I can't get them in El Paso. So the only way to get them was to make them myself. I got online to find all the receipts and tried to make them. And I did pretty good. Other than those ingredients that I can't get, I made almost everything I want.

Thanks for all the bloggers, I found lots and lots of receipts. And I became a decent cook. That explains why Pat gained 25 pounds within 4.5 years since we got married.

But there is one problem is----I don't really follow receipts. I cook by feel. Some friends ask for my receipt. And it took me long time to get it to them because I don't have a receipt. I don't know how to tell people how much seasoning I put in. Even when I follow somebody's receipt, I change the ingredients according to my flavor and feeling.

So if you really want my receipt, please be patient with me.And I will get it done in english someday.

Taiwanese Lomein Noodles


I love the Taiwanese Lomein. My favorite lomein is my grandma's.

Grandma always make lomein for the feast on Chinese New Year's Eve. I love noodles.I can eat noodles for a week.

My mom didn't like to eat noodles. So she doesn't know how to make lomein. And I didn't line to cook when my grandma lived with us. Since grandma passed away, nobody can make the right taste of lomein boodles.

Someday, I suddenly craved for lomein noodles. So I decided to try to make it. I got online to llok for recipe. It's hard to buy the chinese noodles. I use spaghetti instead. Although I didn't make the exactly the same taste as grandma's, it still taste pretty good. Even Pat likes it.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

1. spaghetti
2. 1 onion
3. 2 Carrot
4. 1/8 head of cabage
5. some bean sprout
6. some pork
7. soy sauce
8. water

藍家廚房---綠咖哩米粉


我很喜歡泰式料理,所以也很喜歡綠咖哩的味道,尤其再加上椰奶,味道超棒。

之前在某個網站看到了這個綠咖哩米粉的食譜,決定自己來實驗看看。

綠咖哩米粉

材料:
米粉半包
綠咖哩3大匙
椰奶半瓶
豬肉絲少許
蔥 一把(4-5根)
高麗菜 1/4個
洋蔥 半個
魚露 2小匙
糖 3小匙

做法:
1. 將米粉放入鍋中煮2-3分鐘,撈起
2. 將洋蔥,蔥,高麗菜和豬肉都切絲
3. 起油鍋,將豬肉絲放進去炒,熟後呈起。
4. 將洋蔥放入鍋中炒,半熟後放入高麗菜和蔥,繼續拌炒至菜變半透明,再將炒好的豬肉放入。
5. 將椰奶倒入鍋中,將綠咖哩放入攪拌,綠咖哩都溶開之後,再加入魚露和糖
6. 試試味道ok後再將米粉倒入攪拌,之後再放個2分鐘就行了!

藍家廚房---台式炒麵


我最喜歡的台式炒麵是我奶奶做的。

從小,每年的年夜飯,奶奶一定會做一大盤炒麵,我很喜歡吃麵食類,我不太喜歡吃飯,但是可以連續吃麵吃一星期也無所謂。而我最喜歡的炒麵就是我奶奶做的。

我媽不喜歡吃麵食類,比較喜歡吃米食類的東西,所以她不會做炒麵,而我以前也不喜歡煮菜,所以沒向奶奶學怎麼做炒麵。而奶奶去世之後,我喜歡的炒麵味道也就消逝了。

某天,我突然心血來潮的想吃炒麵,於是,又上網去找找食譜,看看能不能做出我熟悉的味道。但是,這裡的油麵很難買,所以呢,我就用義大利麵條代替啦!也行喔!

雖然沒有做出奶奶的味道,但是,跟記憶中的夜市炒麵味道差不多,還不錯。小藍先生也很喜歡呢!這道蔡是我們家餐桌上的常客喔!

台式炒麵

材料:
義大利麵條
洋蔥 一個
紅蘿蔔 2根(美國的紅蘿蔔很小條,所以我用了2根,在台灣應該半根就行)
高麗菜 1/4顆
豆芽菜少許
豬肉少許
醬油
沙茶醬(可有可無)
水 半杯


做法:
1. 將義大利麵條放入沸騰的鍋中,煮熟(因為是要當成油麵,所以我會煮爛一點)。
2. 將洋蔥,紅蘿蔔,高麗菜和豬肉都切絲。
3. 起油鍋,將豬肉絲放進去炒,熟後呈起。
4. 將洋蔥和紅蘿蔔絲放入鍋中炒,半熟後放入高麗菜和豆芽菜,繼續拌炒至菜變半透明。
5. 加入醬油和沙茶醬和水,繼續拌炒,再把之前的豬肉絲放進去。
此時,鍋裏會有不少的湯汁,這是對的,因為要放進麵條去吸取醬汁,所以,水分不能太少。
6. 試試味道,現在的味道要重一點,不然放進麵條之後,就沒味道囉!
味道對了之後,再把麵條放入拌炒,所有的麵條都沾上醬汁之後,再放個3-4分鐘就行了。

這樣就完成了我的台式炒麵囉!
PS---因為小藍先生不喜歡蝦米和香菇的味道,所以我沒加,喜歡的人也可以加入這些。
基本上喜歡什麼就放什麼囉!

藍家廚房---炸豆腐




很久沒上菜了,趁最近有空,趕快PO上來。

我一直很喜歡吃炸豆腐,在臺灣時百吃不厭,來到美國,當然沒有人賣台灣小吃阿(住在加州不算),所以又要自己來了,幸好這並不太難。難的是沾醬。

之前做了幾次炸豆腐,但是沾醬做不好吃,所以不太喜歡。

這次終於作出好吃的沾醬,跟大家分享我的食譜,希望大家喜歡囉。

材料:
豆腐一盒(在這裡我都是買extra firm的)
太白粉
番薯粉
大量的油

沾醬材料:
蒜頭2-3瓣
醬油


米淋


做法:
1. 將豆腐切成你想要的大小
2. 太白粉和番薯粉以2:1的比例拌勻,把豆腐塊均勻沾上粉
3. 起油鍋,用大火炸豆腐至金黃(我的都炸不黃,所以表面Ok之後,我就起鍋了),即可

沾醬做法:
把蒜頭磨成泥狀(我用garlic press),加入醬油,糖,水和米淋,調成你喜歡的味道就行了。
PS---我發現要用日本的醬油才不會那麼"死鹼" ,美國的龜甲萬超鹹

泰式料理---涼拌青木瓜絲, 椰汁咖哩蝦--補上食譜

今天超想吃泰國菜,但是又沒有太多材料在冰箱,所以只好找找有什麼,煮什麼囉!
在冰箱裏找到一顆青木瓜,洋蔥,有蝦子,和豬肉,所以決定來煮涼拌青木瓜絲, 椰汁咖哩蝦和涼拌豬肉(本來是牛肉但是我沒有,所以決定用豬肉)。
在網上找到食譜後,覺得涼拌青木瓜絲還挺簡單的,所以就先做這個。




涼拌青木瓜絲

小型青木瓜半顆
聖女蕃茄數顆(我沒有所以沒加)
檸檬二顆
砂糖二大匙
蒜頭2顆

4. 將木瓜蕃茄加入檸檬醬汁,放入冰箱冷藏醃10分鐘即可食用。
Ps:檸檬汁及砂糖,因個人喜好可酌量增減。





我和小藍先生都很喜歡椰汁咖哩,常常煮一大鍋椰汁咖哩雞,一大鍋可以吃個2天左右,但是那是用日本咖哩來做的,這次決定用印度咖哩粉來試試看。很少用印度咖哩粉,不知道到底味道會如何,試試看囉!結果還挺讓我們滿意的。

椰汁咖哩蝦

材料 :
蝦15隻,印度咖哩粉,椰奶1瓶,油少許

做法:
1. 熱油鍋,放入少許油
2. 放進蝦子,等到蝦子變色之後,放進2匙印度咖哩粉,充分攪拌
3. 加入椰奶,調味到你喜歡的味道即可
P.S.---印度咖哩粉比較辣,所以依照你喜歡的程度來加入
