Amazing crispy fried tofu skin with ginger and soy sauce 好吃到驚人的薑燒豆皮

        As far as I remember, the best food I have ever eaten is white radish soup. I ate this in Shanghai WUJIE restaurant. It tasted so fresh and sweet. No over seasoning, that's why it impressed me a lot. 

     But I change my mind after eating fried tofu skin with ginger and soy sauce. It is so amazing. My husband cooked this for me. This definitely becomes my number one.  So today I would like to share this recipe with you.



Here are the ingredients you need to prepare in advance.
a. Fried tofu skin (you can buy it in traditional markets.)
b. some gingers
c. 3~4 cloves of garlics 
d. some corianders 
e. two spoons of soy sauce 
    (I recommend to use healthy thin salt soy sauce.)

Steps
1. Wash corianders clean, and cut them into small 
     sections. 
    Chop garlics into small pieces. 
    Ground some ginger juice.
2. Turn on the heat, add some veg oil. Add garlics in the 
    pot to stir-fry till the garlics become brown. Then add 
    ginger juice, soy sauce and a little water to stir-fry 
    all the seasoning together about 1~2 minutes. 
3. Put fried tofu skin in pot to slowly saute', let each side 
    of tofu completely absorbs sauce.   
4. Turn off the heat, take tofu skin out. Place it 
    in the oven and adjust to 180 degrees with 15 minutes.
    Before place it in the oven, remember to collect the 
    rest sauce in the pot and pour it on tofu skin.
5. Take fried tofu skin out, and add some corianders on 
     it. Now enjoy your meal.    

       在我記憶中,我吃過最好吃的一道料理是在中國上海大蔬無界餐廳的白蘿蔔湯。喝起來非常的新鮮又甜美,沒有過多的調味,完全展現出食材本身的口感。我很驚訝一道簡單的蘿蔔湯居然可以這麼好吃,讓我非常的印象深刻。

        但是在吃了老公煮的薑燒豆皮後,完全改變了我的排名。這才是我的冠軍菜。原來只用豆皮也可以做出又脆又有咬勁又吸滿醬汁好吃到可以扒好幾碗飯的料理。跟老公問了做法後在這裡分享給大家。

準備的食材
a. 炸豆皮 (可以在傳統市場買到)
b. 薑
c. 3~4瓣蒜頭
d. 香菜
e. 2匙醬油 (推薦用薄鹽醬油)

步驟
1. 香菜洗淨,切小段。蒜頭切碎。磨薑汁。
2. 開瓦斯,加些植物油在鍋裡。放切碎的蒜頭至鍋裡拌炒至變
    成金黃色,加入薑汁及醬油及少許的水一起拌炒1~2分鐘。
3. 將炸豆皮放進鍋裡慢煎,讓每一面都吸滿醬汁。
4. 關火,將吸滿醬汁的豆皮取出,放進烤箱用180度的火烤15
    分鐘。在放進烤箱前,記得收集鍋裡的剩餘醬汁,淋至豆皮
    上。
5. 過15分後,將薑燒豆皮取出,撒上香菜就完成啦。

當我曾經是朝九晚五的上班族時(台灣的上班族應該都是朝九晚十二),並不喜歡下廚。因為在整天繁忙的疲勞轟炸後,很難再覺得有精力,更不用說對那些煩瑣的準備功夫及複雜的煮菜流程有興趣。後來沒上班有時間時,自己學會了怎樣用簡單的方式下廚。(畢竟總不能花錢如流水般的三餐都在外面吃)

對我而言,咖哩是一個非常方便的食材,你可以用它來炒青菜,炒麵,也可以用它來煮飯或煮湯等等。在炎熱的夏天,咖哩還可以增加你的味口,難怪聰明的印度人可以一直吃咖哩都吃不膩。除此外,咖哩中的薑黃有強大的消炎及抗氧化功效。食用咖哩有非常多的好處。所以今天(剛好是炎熱的7月)想跟大家分享咖哩麵食譜,希望大家都可以簡單的煮,卻吃的健康。

準備的食材
a. 咖哩塊 (非常推薦這個日本牌子無動物性成份)
b. 紅蘿蔔
c. 青蔥
d. 洋蔥
e. 高麗菜
f.  小的乾香菇片
g. 生豆皮

步驟
1. 將紅蘿蔔,洋蔥,青蔥,豆皮洗淨。剝一些高麗菜,並洗淨。將洋蔥切條,紅蘿蔔切片。 
2. 將乾香菇片及步驟一食材倒入鍋中。鍋中加水並煮滾。
3. 將麵條加入滾湯中,等到麵條快煮熟時,先將火關掉。
4. 取一塊咖哩塊,並慢慢在鍋中攪拌至完全融化。開瓦斯,約再煮一分鐘,讓咖哩可以被食材及麵條完全吸收。
5. 關火,將咖哩麵倒入碗中,撒上蔥花。
現可以享受你的香噴噴的咖哩麵了。

因為藝術的美讓我遇見人心的善與美 Beauty of art and pure kindness

因為美麗的錯誤 我們錯過展期
也因為這個緣份 讓我們認識到熱情的策展人
願意特地為兩位陌生人重新擺放展品開放參觀
松永智美老師的有素特展

除了松永老師典雅的飾品及特別的素食餐點
還一一介紹世界各國藝術家的飾品
甚至還特別準備茶水

在慢鏝這個空間
我們遇見藝術精心雕琢的美
更遇見人心純粹的善及美

     Due to a beautiful mistake, we missed the chance to visit the exhibition. And because of that we could meet a new friend , an enthusiastic curator. She was willing to display all the artworks and decorations again in order to welcome two strangers' visit. The exhibition was about the exquisite vegetarian foods and jewelry design of master Tomomi Matsunaga. 

     In addition to master's elegant jewelry and exquisite vegetarian foods, she also patiently introduced every piece of artwork from different artists all over the world. And even specially prepared hot tea for two strangers.

     At "Mano" gallery, we not only met the beauty of art, but also touched by the pure kindness.

台北 HERBIVORE Vegan 餐廳 Taipei HERBIVORE vegan restaurant

平日中午,和姐妹一起約用餐。由於先前與老公逛信義新光三越時想說逛完再去miacucina 吃麵。沒想到居然客滿還要在現場等半小時。於是懶惰夫妻倆瞬間放棄等待,立馬google到新光三越有新開Vegan餐廳,於是在ㄧ番轉折後,終於抵達金光閃閃的HERBIVORE (草食動物的意思)。由於太好吃,份量又多(其實應該跟miacucina 一樣是share著吃),於是決定二訪HERBIVORE,換跟姐妹一起享用。

交通上也很方便,在捷運板南線市府捷運站3號出口,出來往右走,會先經過微風信義,再往前走右前方就是信義新光三越A4 館,坐手扶梯抵達二樓餐廳。





我點了一道蕃茄肉醬義大利麵。雖然份量大(要兩個人share著吃),但吃完卻一點都不膩口。醬料本身是濃郁的味道,有蕃茄素肉醬,切碎的香菇,Vegan起司(聽說是堅果打成泥作的)。剛入口很濃郁,但尾韻帶點清爽的微微蕃茄酸。麵條軟硬適中,粗麵條剛好裹著醬料,一口接一口的不小心吃完了(還是有分朋友兩口的)


甜點的檸檬派,它的大小大概是一般餐廳的兩倍大吧。上層是白色,底下是淡黃色。吃起來很清爽又帶點微酸的檸檬味配上非常古溜的慕斯口感,很快就消失了。


接下來是朋友點的三明治,份量也是驚人的大。土司烤得很酥脆,上面淋點醋,中間有炒過的洋蔥蕃茄香菇及生菜,口感很滑順,剛好跟外層的酥脆土司成絕配。



飲料是健康的無糖草莓冰沙(可自選有糖或無糖),濃綢滑順的口感除了香甜的草莓味,還帶點堅果甜味,朋友很愛。



餐廳的餐點都是Vegan,但好像有些湯類有含酒,點餐時再問一下店員。總之裝潢時尚又貴氣,餐點好吃又很有飽足感,同時滿足視覺跟味覺的享受。只能說在台北吃蔬食真的很方便也好幸福。

      Recently, I went shopping with my husband in Taipei Xinyi area. And it occurred to me that we could have lunch at Miacucina. However I did not make a table reservation for us in advance, the server replied that we had to wait about 30 minutes. Then we decided to come back this restaurant on another day, and find a new one as soon as possible. Finally We googled a newly opened vegan restaurant ,Herbivore, near here.  The food was so fantastic and generous portions. That's why I came back here again to have lunch with my best friend on weekdays.
   
You can take Taipei MRT ,blue line, to Taipei city hall station. Exit by exit 3rd, and then turn right. You will pass Breeze Center firstly. Ahead of you on the right side is Shin Kong Mitsukoshi A4 building. Take escalator to 2rd floor, then you will see the restaurant. 

I ordered a vegan spaghetti bolognese. The portions were generous, thus I had to share with my friend. The sauce was rich but not greasy. There were vegan bolognese sauce, chopped mushrooms and vegan cheese, made from nut puree, inside. It was perfectly cooked al dente spaghetti therefore I finished it quickly.  

My dessert was lemon tart. The size was twice than normal one. The upper layer was snow white color and down layer was beautiful light yellow. It tasted light and deliciously tangy flavor with smooth texture. Again I finished it quickly.

My best friend ordered a sandwich. It was huge. Outside was crispy toast with vinegar. The fried onions, tomatoes, and lettuce were contained inside. The inside smooth texture was just perfect match with outside crispy texture.  

She also ordered healthy sugar-free strawberry smoothie. Regular sugar one was option, too. The mouthfeel of this smoothie was rich and smooth with sweet strawberry flavor. In addition, it also included some nutty taste. She really enjoyed it.

It's a vegan restaurant. I remember some soups contain alcohol. You may ask server details when you order food. The decoration here is fashion and elegance. Food is delicious. The portions are very generous. You can have both taste and vision enjoyment. In a word, be a veganism in Taipei is so lucky.

蒜蓉烤茄子 Roasted eggplant with garlic

先生教我作一道蒜蓉烤茄子。吃完之後很驚艷,覺得茄子泥(已經烤得跟泥一樣的口感)配蒜蓉怎麼這麼好吃,真是絕配。於是立馬想到跟大家分享。

準備的食材
a. 茄子一條
b. 蒜頭(隨個人喜好,我喜歡越多越好)
c. 醬油


步驟
1. 將茄子洗好後先放進微波爐5分鐘。
2. 將蒜頭切成蒜蓉,並加入醬油調味。
3. 待微波好後拿出,較涼時將茄子先對半剖開再一直剖開直至
    茄子像一張紙一樣攤開。
4. 淋上2,並放入烤箱250度5分鐘左右。
    之後取出,即可享用好吃的蒜蓉烤茄子。

PS : 1.用湯匙刮茄子泥起來吃更好吃,單吃或配飯都好吃。
          (我覺得可以作成茄子泥蓋飯)
       2. 或者可隨個人喜好在進烤箱前加入蔥及辣椒。

      Last week my husband taught me to make a new dish called roasted eggplant with garlic.  I can't believe that eggplant cream is so amazing especially with garlic. Just like perfect match. After eating this, I would like to share this recipe with you.

Here are the ingredients you need to prepare in advance.
a. one eggplant
b. garlic (depends on your taste. Since I like garlic, the more the better.)
c. soybean sauce 
     
Steps
1. Wash the eggplant, and then put it in the microwave oven 5 minutes to nuke it.
2. Chop garlic into very small pieces. And then add some soybean sauce to mix them together.
3. After 5 minutes, take eggplant out.  Slit it, and continue this action till the eggplant becomes just like an unfold paper.  
4. Add 2 on eggplant. Put it into oven and adjust to 250 degrees with 5 minutes. After that take it out. Now enjoy your meal.

PS : 
1. I love to spoon up eggplant cream. It's even more 
    delicious. You can just eat cream only or eat with rice.
2. You can also add some spicy or green onion.

     Women can breastfeed her baby only in postnatal period, and same as other mammals. But why we have so many dairy products and foods in the market all the time. Besides pure milk, we also have flavored milk, milk tea, latte, cookies, cakes, and foods with baked cheese. In order to meet humankind need, cows endure the pain of injection to unnaturally get more milk. After that, no more milk secretion, they were killed to become meat. Actually we can get excellent and effective calcium content from vegetables.

Every 100 grams calcium content (mg)
Milk : 95
Pork chops : 38
Black sesame : 1456
Kelp : 737
Health wheat flour : 830
Mung bean sprouts : 147

變身無痕衣架 When you do not have enough hanger for jackets or coats

要掛大衣時,衣架突然不夠用怎麼辦。
這是我自己試過的方法,用ㄧ雙乾淨的襪子穿在衣架的兩邊就變身成無痕衣架。哈哈哈 雖然很笨的方法,但臨時找不到時真的就很好用。

   When you suddenly find that you do not have enough hanger for jackets or coats, what would you do. I ever tried to use a pair of socks to wear both sides of hanger. Although it's a stupid way, but very useful.
