Stir Fried Salmon Flakes Creamy Sweet Potatoes Soup

Made something impromptu that day with whatever I have at home and came up with this special recipe. Never thought salmon can be best friend with sweet potatoes. Wish to share this recipe here.

Ingredients:

Salmon flakes, 4-6 sweet potatoes, celery, curry powder, soup stock (can be chicken/mushroom/fish according to your preference) Milk.

First, remove skin of sweet potatoes, boiled them in hot water till soft. Make 2 cups of soup stock of your preference, pour it into blender and add the sweet potatoes in. Add another half or a cup of milk and blend it till smooth. Pour the smoothly blended sweet potatoes into the wok, add in curry powder, and salt for taste. Mix it thoroughly.

On frying pan, pour in some oil or butter, and add in the cut celery, then the salmon flakes. Add some pepper and salt for taste. Stir fried for 3 minutes.

Scope the soup and lay the stir fried salmon flakes on soup...

Voila...Enjoy...

[Food] New England Clam Chowder

The potatoes puree, or the blended potatoes. You may added a carrot into it too.

Voila, the smoking hot New England Clam Chowder is ready. With my own planted coriander for the refreshing taste.

Created my own modified version of New England Clam Chowder.
It's inspired by what Victoria Station served, my favorite soup, the New England Clam Chowder.
I hereby included my own recipe, which is simple and everyone can do it.

Recipe: New England Clam Chowder
Ingredient: 3 Large US potatoes, 2 Holland Potatoes, 1 can of Clam in Soy Sauce( available in Jusco), half cup of fresh milk, Chicken Stock, 2 Large yellow onions, Butter, 2-3 Carrots, some cream cheese or thick cream if you have.

1. Stir fried the sliced yellow onions with butter and a pinch of salt until it turned soft and brown.
2. Cut the potatoes into cube, and the carrot into the bite size. Cook in boiled water until soft. Let it cool and blend only the US potatoes in blender to get the smootie smooth potatoes puree.
3. Add the Holland potatoes cube to the yellow onions.
4. Add half cup of water.
5. Add in the clam without the soy sauce.
6. Add in the US potatoes puree and cook for a 3 minutes.
7. Add in 4 bowls of water, the chicken stock for soup and the soy sauce from the clam.
8. Wait till it boil, add in some cheese or thick cream for creamier taste and then pour in the milk.
9. Voila, that's it. the clam chowder is ready to be served.
If you are a fans of bread you may add in some bread crouton ( can be prepared by toasting bread on frying pan, best cut into bite size before toasting it.)

The creamy soup together with bread crouton, life just can't be anymore better. Like i said, coup is a soul comforter.

[Food] Soup and salad

Celery soup with dang gui and wolf berries

Sharing my own simple do-it-at-home recipe.

Recipe 1: Healthy- meatless comforting soup.
Celery(4 long celery stalk) , "dang gui", wolf berries and some soup stock(may be chicken stock)
Immersed 3-4 dang gui slices and handful of wolf berries in water. Cut the celery stalk into 7-10cm length. Boil 5 cups of water in the pot then put in the soup stalk. I prefer the Konbu Dashi soup stock. Then just add in the celery stalk, wolf berries and the dang gui slices. High heat for 5-10 minutes and then turn into medium heat for another 5 minutes. Voila....The very comforting soup that is absolutely healthy. You many remove the dang gui slices if you feel the taste is strong enough as they tend to show bitterness if you cook them too long. Salt may be added if you want saltier taste.

Preparation time:10 minutes
Cooking time: 15-20 minutes
Serving size: 3-4

P/S: This soup will bring you energy and comfort. Best to have it when you are stressful and tire.

Recipe 2: Potato salad with Feta cheese
Ingredient: 3-4 potatoes, Feta cheese, salt, coarsely grinned black pepper and mayonnaise
First, remove the skin of potatoes, cut it into bite size cube, then cook it in boiled water until it turned tender. Then remove the water. Allow the potatoes to be cooled in room temperature or in the fridge. Taste the feta cheese, if you feel it is too salty for your taste, immersed it into a mixture of water to milk in ratio 1:1 for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Crumbled the feta cheese and mix it with the potatoes, sprinkle pinch of salt according to your taste. Then add 6 table spoon of mayonnaise and mix them well.( you may even add 1 soft boiled egg, crumbled it and added it to the potatoes, taste really different although mayonnaise is a lighter version of substitution, i like them both together) Lastly, sprinkle some coarsely grinned black pepper to give you the exotic flavor. I usually add a lot of black pepper.... ^^. Voila. The feta cheese potato salad is best served chilled. If you cannot finish it, just keep it refrigerated and it can last for 2 days.
