Flamboyant Gemstone 琉璃四宝

There are times in a year that we invite guests to our house, and we wish to make our dishes a bit more attractive by sight. Given a little creativity, a healthy homecook vegetarian dish could be very appealing too.


I enjoy the benefits of broccoli and cauliflower and I love to extend the benefits to my guests too. Therefore I came up with this beautiful dish that is photo worthy and delicious to eat too.



My earlier post has shared the recipe of broccoli stir-fry which you may use for stir-frying broccoli and cauliflower in this dish.


Meanwhile, let me share with you the recipe of doing the tasty gravy that I prepared for the dish.


I love ginkgo nuts. It goes very well in soups and desserts, you will even find it in chawanmushi (the Japanese steamed egg). Please view the following page to know more about the benefits of consuming ginkgo nuts, please avoid excessive consumption though.


The recipe also calls for goji berry which is popular in Chinese cooking. It is lightly sweet in taste and in beautiful bright red colour. To know more about goji berry (wolfberry) in order to assess its nutritional facts, please click here.


Ingredients

1. Broccoli And Cauliflower Stir-fry - View Recipe

2. Olive Oil - 1tblsp

3. Ginger Slice - 2nos

4. Ginkgo - 8pcs

5. Chinese Cooking Wine - 1tblsp

6. Vegetable Soup Stock - 120ml

7. Salt - To Taste

8. Mushroom Sauce - To Taste

9. Goji Berry - 10g

10. Starch Sater (starch to water ration 1.5 : 1)


Method

1. Heat up non-stick pan, you should feel just slight warm by placing your palm about 2 inches above the center of pan.

2. Add oil and ginger slices, fry slightly until the fragrance of ginger slices comes out, add ginkgo.

3. Use a spoon to pour in cooking wine in a circular motion to obtain the beautiful fragrance.

4. Add vegetable soup stock, bring to slow boil.

5. Season with mushroom sauce and salt to taste.

6. Thicken the gravy by gradually stir in starch water in circular motion until you obtain the desired consistency.

7. Scoop the gravy onto broccoli and cauliflower stir-fry that has been plated.

9. Serve hot.

    Steamed Oranges 蒸橘子

    Discussion 
    有位小学的级任老师曾教我蒸橘子，据说专治咳嗽，非常灵验。三十多年来，咳嗽多少回了，不管拖得再长，我都提不起兴趣一试。这老师的偏方是橘子配冰糖，据说很有效，至少我的老师说很有效。我在网上也看到了很多这样的分享，大家都言之凿凿，好像真的错不了。 最近，我恰巧买了一包超漂亮的橘子，也恰好咳嗽，想起了老师的偏方，想想不如试试。综合了网上很多的资料，我一步步的，谨慎的蒸了五个橘子，小心翼翼的吃了下去。 服了丹药之后，当然是赶快睡觉啊。俗语说，早吃早好，不必等到明天早。第二天起来，我终于知道它的效果了。 虽然我的老师教了我很多知识和人生的道理，但是这偏方，证实 无效 。 所以，大家有病就赶紧去看医生，别耽误了病情。 后注 ： 味道不错，我家小妹也愿意吃，所以当成甜品来吃玩玩是可以的。 如若您想舒缓咳嗽，可以参考 杏仁奶 或 南北杏冰糖炖雪梨 的做法，这两个食谱是具有食疗的作用的。 #咳嗽小偏方 #民间的传说 #chefpeishuen #homeremedy #coughremedy #steamedorange #蒸橘子

    Baked Pumpkin Slices 焗烤南瓜片

    Discussion 
    isPumpkin is healthy and it makes the perfect dish in the day you feel to laze off. Here is a flavourful but so simple dish that I believe anyone can recreate with one eye close. I do have a special something for Australian produce, but it will be fine to use pumpkin from other countries too. I rarely buy whole pumpkin, halved ones enable me to examine the texture and colour of pumpkin. It is a lasting produce but as always, freshly halved indicates juiciness and wonderful texture when you sink your teeth to the pumpkin. I tend to select the portion with rich colour too, there is a difference in the aroma compared to the light colour ones. Ingredient Australian pumpkin English pasley Sage Lemon Pink salt Four season pepper Extra virgin olive oil Lemon juice Method Preheat the oven to 180 deg C for 10 minutes, select top and bottom heat if this option is available. Peel and slice pumpkin, preferably into even thickness. Place pumpkin slices onto baking tray, sprinkled with chopped English pasley and sage leaves, lemon slices. To flavour, grind some pink salt and four season pepper, followed by generous amount of extra virgin olive oil. Send to bake, use baking tester (or bamboo skewer) to test the doneness after 20 minutes. Bring out the pumpkin once you achieve your preferred texture. Serve immediately, squeeze some lemon juice to enhance to beautiful flavour. Enjoy! #chefpeishuen #pumpkin #bakedvegetables #sage #englishpasley #南瓜 #焗烤蔬菜 #家常美食 #cookinginstructor #singaporehomecooks #singaporefoodies
