Cabbage with bacon and Portuguese sausage
Potato pancakes with scallions
Edamame rice
Easy Chicken katsu
Today's cooking was so easy. All I had to do was just prepare. Then let it cook by itself!
Recipes of the day:
Cabbage with bacon and Portuguese sausage
I had a half head of cabbage that's getting old, and 1/2 of Portuguese sausage and last 3 slices of bacon in the freezer.
Decided to use them all together and create a dish :)
Cabbage---1/2 (2 to 3 inch square, rough cut)
Onion---1 small (sliced)
Bacon---3slices cut in half
Portuguese sausage---1/2 slice
*water---3tbs
*crushed bouillon---1 1/2tsp
1) In a cast iron pot (if you have it), put Cabbage and meat layer by layer. For example, cabbage&onion-sausage-cabbage&onion-bacon.
2) Then sprinkle bouillon powder, and add water.
3) Close the lid, cook on medium heat for 15-20min until everything is cooked through.
SO easy. But So good!
Potato Pancakes
Potato---2 (grated or blended in a food processor)
Flour---2tbs
Bouillon powder---1tsp
Scallion---1bunch chopped
1) Mix all the ingredients together.
2) In a medium pan, spray some oil, then pour the mixture on a medium heat.
3) drizzle sesame oil around the pancake from the edge of the pan for a crispy result.
4) Serve with 1tbs of sushi vinegar and soy sauce as a dipping sauce.
Edamame Rice
Rice---3cups ready to cook
Frozen edamame (without shell)---1cup
Konbu dashi powder---1tbs
Sake---1tbs
Agave---1/2tbs
1) Put all the ingredients into rice in a rice cooker.
2) Cook. DONE!
Easy Chicken Katsu
Chicken breast---1
Panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1) Tenderize chicken and make it thinner.
2) Splash some water on the meat. Then coat with panko.
YES, THEY DO STICK. Maybe thin layer of crumbs, but you'll get the same crunchy crispiness of katsu. Trust me. It's way easier and faster.
3) In a large pan, pour 1/2 cup of oil on a medium heat.
4) Pan fry the chicken.
I still haven't gone to this week's grocery shopping! more money for beer! woo hoo! :p
Well, sadly not for me though since I'm still a nursing mom...
So like I mentioned before, my Tuesday and Thursday are productive day. Because I have to plan and take my son to some activities so he won't get bored and play video games all day at home.
He usually has a music class on Tuesdays. But we went to a farm last Tuesday instead, so we had a make-up lesson this morning.
Then we went to the same library as last week. The new one.
He's so in love with that place!
Well, in love with their computer games more like...lol
But at least their games are educational stuff and not...Mario Kart :D (my 3 yr old son is addicted to Mario Kart...blame my husband! nah, just kidding!)
And ↑↑↑ this is the picture of the day :)
My husband is off tomorrow, so no bento update!
