SLC23-W3 // "Chinese Cuisine"

Greetings and welcome to my blog. Am glad to try out a new cuisine this week and am wondering what the next week holds for us. This is a prep for family. @suboohi is preparing me for family life and to be a good mother and wife in the kitchen. Haha. Thanks.

Well all the way from china I bring to you my Chinese cuisine. Hope you like it.

Have you tried any Chinese food? Which Chinese food is available at your local places?

Nope , I’ve not tried Chinese food before . This is the first Chinese food am eating and it was happily prepared by me. Hence this is the first Chinese recipe am eating.

There are Chinese restaurants available in my locality but I’ve not visited them before. Am sure that when I do, I’d find interesting foods on their menu and maybe including the one taught in the class.

Make the given recipe or any recipe that you like from Chinese cuisine step by step in detail with pictures. Include your name tag with date in final presentation of recipe.

I prepared the given recipe with the ingredients the teacher gave in the class.

I tried as much possible to incorporate almost all the ingredients .

Ingredients for marination

• Bone less beef
• I egg whisked
• Corn flour 2tbs
• All purpose flour 1tbs
• 1/2 tbs of salt
• 1/2 tbs of black pepper powder
• cooking oil for frying

Ingredients for dried beef chilli sauce

• cooking oil 3tbs spoons
• 1Tbs spoon chopped Ginger
• 1 Tbs spoon chopped Garlic
• Green chilies
• dark soy sauce 2tbs
• chilli sauce 2tbs
• oyster sauce 2 tbs
• Spring onions
• sugar 1/2 tbs
• salt 1/2 tbs
• black pepper powered 1/2 tb
  *1/4 cup chicken stock

Cooking procedure

I washed the beef and added one whisked egg to it. I added salt, black pepper, corn flour and all purpose floor and mixed all together and allowed it to sit for 25 minutes.

I proceeded to add oil to a pan and added the marinated beefs to the oil and fried it in medium heat until it’s golden brown.

I added the three table spoons of oil in a pan and added my chopped ginger and garlic and fried a little. I added the sliced green chilli pepper and mixed well and then added my fried beef and mixed well.

I added the dark soy sauce, chilli sauce, and oyster sauce and mixed. I added black pepper, salt and sugar and mixed all together.

I added the chicken stock, and cooked in high flame for a minute. Then I added the green chilies and spring onions leaves and mixed well.

My dried beef chilli sauce was ready. I ate it with white rice and it was a beautiful Combo and great taste. I shared it with a neighbor who had eaten Chinese cuisine before and she said I got it. I was excited cos she loved it too.

My final presentation

What is your favorite family recipe from Chinese cuisine that you make with fusion of your local species?

I’ve not prepared any Chinese cuisine recipes before now. This is the first time am trying out a Chinese cuisine courtesy of the learning challenge.

Since I’ve learnt do this now, it would be easy to incorporate it into the family cooking or infuse what I’ve learnt into my local recipes.

I intend to use the marinating method and beef frying methods for my subsequent cookings. I didn’t know that beef can be fried without cooking and this marinating gave it a whole new taste and I loved it. I intend to use this method more often from today.

Any difficulty that you faced during making recipe?

Not at all. I didn’t face any difficulties in making the recipe. The teacher gave a very vivid step by step procedure to follow and following it diligently brought me the final result.

I didn’t experience any form of difficulty. It was a seemless experience and I enjoyed it all through.

Thank you for reading through. Hope you love my recipe. I ask @pandoradiary, @jovita30 and @kidi40 to come eat Chinese food.
