Aspiring Bakers # 29 Heirloom and Local Dialect Recipes (家传菜/籍贯菜)

Hello to all Aspiring Bakers Family members and members-to-be!
I'm hosting Aspiring Bakers #29!

很高兴有这个机会主持 Aspiring Bakers.. 希望大家能够踊跃参与并支持这次的主题~
I am very glad that I have the opportunity to host the Aspiring Bakers No. 29. Hope everyone of you will participate this theme and enjoy yourself.

这个月的主题是 "家传菜/籍贯菜" 
The theme for this month is Heirloom and Local Dialect Recipes. 

我很努力的从google找到英语的翻译~
I am very hard working trying to do google translate.

家传菜 - dishes handed down from the older generations of the family; family tradition
籍贯菜 - dishes from your birth or origin/ native place (local dialect)

我一直在想我家有什么家传/籍贯菜~ 问了排骨,他是广东人,他告诉我,他也不懂叻~*晕*
I have been thinking what heirloom or local dialect recipes from my family. I asked "Pai Kuat", he is Cantonese and he told me he has no idea at all. *fainted*

老实说,我老妈子没有传下"家传菜/籍贯菜"给我..从小到大,她都不肯我到厨房帮忙. 可能是怕我越帮越忙吧~ 所以嘛,我的厨艺真的是“ma ma tei” .. 所以这次希望能够向妈妈讨教一下,让我家传菜在我的部落各亮相亮相~ 
To be honest, I really can't think of any dishes passed over from my mum. Since young, she didn't really want me to help her out in the Kitchen, maybe she worries that I am the trouble-maker. Therefore, my cooking skill is like "zero".. Hopefully, I can ask my mum to teach me this time so that I can show off a bit my cooking skill. 

我是客家人,所以记得小时候家里常常都会煮擂茶, 卤鸭,酿豆腐等等! 所以,任何一样籍贯菜肴 - 广东、福州、海南、客家、福建、兴化等等我们都期待~
I am Hakka, what I remembered since young were "Lui Cha", "Braised Duck" and "Stuffed tofu". Therefore, we are looking forward to see any dishes from the local dialects, such as Cantonese, Foochow, Hainanese, Hakka, Hokkien, Henghwa, etc.

现在是时候把你们家的家传/ 籍贯菜肴亮相了~ 希望大家可以跟我们分享你们家的食谱。我真的很期待着你们的参与和支持这个主题, 让我大开眼界~

两种酱料的回锅肉

噔、噔、噔、噔!终于有机会上菜了!
我们家有出租房间,所以我们就决定跟屋友们一起玩masak-masak, 这样又方便,又省煤气、水电的,还有又省钱叻!也因为排骨开始上课了(这学期他有3个晚上要上课),所以我们都要轮流煮咯!

我和另一位姐妹 - 称她为"台台"- (因为她是台湾的背包客嘛)简直就是“惨样”!因为我们俩都不会煮啦!

今天太感谢Christine的食谱 -  家里刚好有韩国切片五花肉,可以派上用场!Yeah!*开心开心*

这道菜太容易了~ 味道好好吃哦!我其实只放了甜面酱和辣豆瓣酱,因为忘了放其它的材料~ 太紧张了!只有放这两种的酱料都让我们吃的津津有味,我们太容易满足了吧!

煮的份量需要比较多因为我们要预备晚餐和隔天的午餐,所以看到时,有点吓到,但是还是扫到精光~ 厉害叻

食谱取自于 Christine's 回锅肉

跟平常一样,要预备教会的茶点,每个月都会轮到一次. 昨天和初成的姐妹商讨今天会做什么茶点,原本想要做Konyaku jelly,但是另一个姐妹说她也会做jelly.

为了不要“撞板” 所以想想可能要做小面包. 但又不想浪费钱买馅料,就决定看看家里有什么材料可以发挥发挥. 终于和排骨商量后,决定做肉松葱花馅饼. 第一次做,希望大家会喜欢!

花花德国酥饼

首先恭祝大家新年蒙恩、蒙福!

华人农历新年在这儿都不是很热闹.. 再加上自己在家里“不能出门”,更痛苦的是看到朋友们一个个在面子书“po” 上去的饼干、糕点之类的.. 让我真的心痒痒的想动手做一、两样.. 终于机会来了!! 排骨想要买一些年货送给朋友,于是我就大送殷勤告诉他不如我来做吧!外面的又贵又不好吃.. 而且我会选择容易做的!不用太多的时间!他同意了!那几个礼拜一直上诉,告诉他我已经好了,可以做这个,做那个!他还是不同意!现在批准了,我简直高兴到无法形容!

我决定做 German cookies.. 但是选择用挤花的方式来做,再加上一小个的曼越莓会比较好看吧~ 不然白白色的送给人好像不好看啦!

~German Cookies 德国酥饼~

Ingredients

125g butter, soften at room temperature
40g icing sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
125g potato starch
80g cake flour
dried cranberry (for decoration)

Method:

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat butter and icing sugar till light and fluffy. Add in vanilla extract (if using) and mix well.
  2. Sift in potato starch and cake flour. With a spatula, mix to form a soft dough. Note: if the mixture appears to be too soft and wet to shape, leave the dough to chill in the fridge for about 10-15mins.
  3. Put the mixture into the piping bag and pipe the shape you like. I used "star" shape to create the flower shape. 
  4. Decorate middle of the flower with the cranberry.
  5. Bake in preheated oven at 170 deg C for 15 mins.

感恩的心

七个月前就一直不想上网写部落格。。也许是懒惰,也许是逃避。
生活中常常有不愉快的事,有喜、有悲。。或许这就是生活的一部分。
我想在这把16/1/2013的事记下来。。

我在去年十二月的时候才知道自己怀孕。当得知这消息时,心情既开心又担心。因为这是第一次怀孕,所以心情既兴奋又焦虑。怀孕的期间,没有平安,一直担心这个、担心那个!常常都有祷告,但是心或许没有真正交托。

在16/1/2013 凌晨2点时,肚子很疼,非常的不舒服。开始觉得有点阵痛,感觉就像要生孩子那样(虽然这是第一胎)。我把排骨吓醒了,我告诉他我肚子很痛,要上厕所。在厕所就上了大号,前后不到一分钟,下体就有东西被推出来了,我知道那是我将要成形的小宝宝。怀孕了十三个星期,前两天还去见医生,一切都还好,可以看到心跳。那时的心情无法形容,我已经猜到我流产了!排骨和我就赶快去急诊室,下体一直流血。我很感激排骨一直陪在我身边。我看到他给我的笑容与鼓励让我更难过,因为我想他一个人在撑着。我感到很愧疚,是不是自己没有好好照顾肚子里的宝宝。为什么会发生这样的事。我真的无法释怀!

在急诊室的当儿,因为这里的医生与护士都会一直换人。看到我的时候,就会问:Is it your 1st pregnant? 听到后,眼泪就忍不住掉下来。一直都在哭,一直问上帝为什么是我?要我从这件事学习什么功课?我真的无法明白。心情一直不能平静。

过后,因为怕体内还留着一些他tissues, 医生建议做 D & C手术。我真的很怕,没有任何平安。因为想到要做手术,怕痛!D & C 需要全身麻醉。最后,决定做了这小手术。进到手术室,遇到一个Anaesthetic,不懂他是不是基督徒,问了我:Do you believe God? 我很惊讶,就点头!他接着说:You should have FAITH in Him. Maybe this is the time that the baby need to be taken away, but I am sure He will give you a double blessing. 我的心情突然间变得很平静~ 整个人都放松了!我很感恩那时候上帝派了这个天使提醒我上帝才是掌管生命的主!

手术很成功!感谢神赐给我一位很好的丈夫,让他无时无刻,无微不至的来照顾我。回到家,看到上帝赐给我的一个经节:我的意念非同你的意念,我的道路非同你的道路-以赛亚书 55:8

上帝呀!你知道什么是最好的,而且你要引领我走在正确又美好的道路上,为你名的缘故,请你赐给我勇气来依靠你,并且在公义的道路上跟随你!主啊!帮助我和排骨可以一起的面对这件事,让我们学习来信靠你!

感恩在隔一天,上帝透过灵修再一次安慰我:在世上你们有苦难,但你们可以放心,我已经胜了世界。约翰福音16:33。 上帝如此清晰、温柔的告诉我,当你遇到苦难,我将与你同在,我不会忘记你,不会让你失望,不会让你受伤害;我总不撇下你,也不离开你!

过后,打了电话给了我的医生。医生告诉我流产的原因可能是50%因为宝宝不健康,25% 可能是not stable, 25% 可能是我自己本身。我很感恩,我想想倘若那时候我的小朋友没事,我可能要面对的事情或许更大。就是如果到时候才发现宝宝是个不健康的话,我的选择该如何?留着这宝宝还是打掉。我觉得这才是我无法承受的!

可能非基督徒的朋友无法了解,但我相信有一天他们会明白的!当你认识上帝时,你就能明白我为何能够面对并有持着这颗感恩的心。

我祷告上帝再次赐给我们小朋友!按着上帝的时间吧!我真的很感恩我不用处于选择的情况下。求主垂听我的祷告!阿们!
