Barley Lime Drink

Barley Lime Drink

All of us had ordered this drink before whenever we're in the Coffee Shop

while having our breakfast, lunch or dinner.

My dear daughter ordered this drink at a posh restaurant and

said that this drink is nice. So gullible of her to say that because

this drink is the easiest drink to make.

Then I told her, just add lime to the barley drink....simple as A B C.

Made this the next day for her.

One packet (100 g) of Pearl Barley.

Few lime.

- Wash and drain the Pearl Barley.

- Wash and cut the lime into half.

Pour water into your pot to 3/4.

Pour in the Pearl Barley.

Switch on to high fire and cook.

Remember, Remember to watch over the fire

because once the water is boiled, it will spill out and

make the mess out of your stove.

Once it is boiled, lift up the cover or cover 3/4 of the pot, and

switch the fire to medium and boil for another 1/2 an hour.

Switch off the fire and pour in the sugar, stir and taste while

pouring in the sugar. Sweetness is up to individual.

Let it cool for 1 hour or more and then squeeze in the lime.

Pour into your desired glass, put in some ice cubes

and drink, drink, drink.......

:) This is my daughter face when she was drinking it.

Note : My mother told me that this drink clear the heartiness in our body.

Sardine Sandwich

Sardine Sandwich

Last week, my dear husband asked me to make

and as usual....I was lazy to make it for him and

yesterday he brought it up again and I have no

choice but to make it for him for this morning's breakfast.

1/2 can of sardine in tomato sauce.

2 pieces of lime.

White or wholemeal bread...choice is yours.

Slices of cucumber or tomato.

Cut the lime into half and squeeze the lime juice into

the sardine and mash the sardine with fork.

(Remember to take out the lime seed)

Some like to put in cut chilli and cut onion.....my husband and I do not like it,

we prefer THE original taste of the sardine.....again, choice is yours.

Place some slices of cut tomato on top of the bread and

spread another piece of bread with the sardine.

Fold both bread and cut diagnostically and serve.

I can see my husband face lighted up upon seeing the

sardine sandwich.

Fried Minced Meat with Tai Tow Choy (Preserved Vegetable)

(Need to check the English word...will update later)

You can use this Fried Minced Meat in all kinds of dishes

e.g. Stir Fried Noodles, Fried Eggs, Steam Bean Curd and etc.

I prepared this dish earlier for the Fried Lo See Fun which

I am going to cook tomorrow.

Minced Meat.

Tai Tow Choy (Wash a few times, soak for 1/2 an hour and

chop into small sizes using food processor. Remember

to wash and soak, if not your Tai Tow Choy will be

very salty.)

Dark soya sauce.

Soya sauce (optional).

Pepper.

Heat up your pan and pour in some oil.

Fry your minced meat until half cook.

Pour in the Tai Tow Choy and cook further.

If you see your meat in big lump, break it into

small pieces.....fry until it is cook.

Pour in the dark soya sauce and pepper and fry again.

Taste it before you pour in the soya sauce....I did not pour

the soya sauce because the Tai Tow Choy still has the saltiness.

Dish out and keep it to use for other dishes.

Can't wait to cook tomorrow with

Fried Lo See Fun With Minced Meat.

Pan Fried Salmon

Pan Fried Salmon

One of my friends asked me how to pan fry salmon

without breaking into pieces.

Told her the method and she said I am her saviour because

her family will enjoy home cooked pan fried salmon without burning

their pocket. Glad to know that.

Isn't it is wonderful to know other people are happy with our help?

One piece of salmon.

Clean and pat dry the salmon.

Heat up the non-stick pan.

Make sure the non-stock pan is hot hot hot........

Drizzle some cooking oil.

(Not so much, please)

Before putting in the salmon, make sure

your non-stick pan is hot hot hot......

Around 3 minutes, if you can move the fish,

then it is done, if not, leave it to pan fry further....until done.

if you force it, you will break the fish.

Pan fry the other side for another less than 3 minutes.

Again, if you can move the salmon, then it is done.

If not, then pan fry further.....until done.

Once done, place it on a serving dish.

Happy Cooking.......
