Baked catfish


Though I heard someone said catfish is for fry but never for bake, I did enjoy today's baked catfish. It is REALLY simple and won't take you more than 5 minutes to prepare!

Wash your catfish. Apply some salt on both sides of the catfish fillet. Put it on heavy duty aluminum foil. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1/8 cup of melted butter, some black peppers and grounded garlic. Bake under 450 degrees for 15-18 minutes. DONE!

Oatmeal Chocolate Cookie!


It was gone in a minute...

Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Procedure is exactly the same as chocolate chip cookie except that you should put oats along with chocolate chips into the big bowl. Here's chocolate chip cookie's procedure. Enjoy!

Vege with Cheese


Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 sliced onion
2 chopped tomatos
1 cup sliced mushrooms
5 pieces of bacon
cheese

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

Stir the eggs till they are uniformly mixed. Pour egg mixture onto the glassware, and bake it until it solidifies.

Fry onion, tomatos, mushrooms and bacon. Then transfer them on top of the egg layer. Spray some cheese. Bake for 20 minutes. Enjoy!

Baked Char Siu Honey Chicken Wings


This is one of the best dishes I've done so far! The chicken skin is stretchy and a little bit crispy while the meat is delicate. The char siu and honey flavor is totally absorbed by the chicken wing thus the flavor is uniformly presented at each layer of the meat.

To marinate the chicken wings, you need:
Char Siu sauce 3 spoons
Honey 2 spoons at least
Heavy soy sauce 1 spoon

Marinate in the fridge airtight for at least 24 hours.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake each side for 30 minutes. To get a cripsy chicken skin, you can bake a little bit longer. Done!

Chocolate Chip Cookie

My first time try baking cookies! I originally did not plan to make cookies until next week. However, when I got back last night, I was hell starving - I just had a bit of bread as lunch.. As such, I started making cookies in like 20 minutes. Believe it or not, this is actually super easy! I will make some oatmeal cookies and whatever cookies next time, cuz IT IS JUST THAT SIMPLE!

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 - 2 1/3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 Cup shortening or 1 Cup (2 sticks) butter
  • 1/2 - 3/4 Cup packed brown sugar (total sugar should equal 1.5 cups)
  • 3/4 - 1 Cup white sugar (total sugar should equal 1.5 cups)
  • 1 - 2 tsp. pure vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 - 3 Cups chocolate chips
  • 1 Cup chopped walnuts (optional)
You need to preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix butter, sugar, vanilla extract in a big bowl. Then mix the flour, salt, baking soda in a small bowl. Spray the dry stuff into the big bowl, add an egg and mix well. Lastly, add chocolate chips and walnuts or raisin.

Scoop a dough with the size of golf ball, place it on cookie pan. Make sure each "gold ball" is at least 1 inch apart as cookie will expand in the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Check the cookie after 8 minutes. If it's still dough like, bake a couple more minutes. If you want crispy cookies, bake a little longer.

Enjoy your homemade chocolate chip cookies!

Mushroom Bacon Rice with Cheese


This is a simple but tasty dish. It does not need lots of time for preparation. Highly recommended for people with busy schedules :)

Ingredients:
mushrooms
bacon (doesn't matter which flavor)
white or sweet onion
2 tablespoon of butter
cheese (doesn't matter which flavor)
salt
cooked rice

Slice bacon, mushrooms and onion. Fry with butter. Add cooked rice, mix well. Salt may be added to adjust to your flavor. Then transfer all the materials into a glassware. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Add some cheese on top of the rice. Bake for 5-10 minutes till cheese melt.

Enjoy!

Baking Steak


It was actually much easier than I thought. Compare to eastern cooking, one of the advantages of western cooking is that you just need to prepare the materials and oven's gonna do everything else for you. Set an alarm and you can relax and do whatever you want.

So for baking steaks, all you need to do is marinate the steak first for 30 minutes with 4 table spoons of soy sauce. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Transfer the marinated steak onto one layer of heavy duty aluminum foil. Add some olive oil, some black peppers and garlic. Bake for 15 minutes. Then flip the steaks over, and add black peppers and garlic and bake the other sides for 10 minutes. It's that simple!

Baked Corns on Cob

LOL Baking vegetables again!

Baking corns is very simple and the crispy while watery taste of the baked corn makes kids who hate vegetables go crazy! Want to try out the recipe yourself? Here we go!

You first need to open the husks (don't remove them as they can help trap water in so that the corn won't dry out) and remove the silks. Then you brush some butter on the corn. Sparkle some salt and black peppers on it. Then re-cover the corn with the husks.

Next, you want to roll heavy duty aluminum foil lengthwise around corn and twist ends. Bake at 450 degree for 25 minutes. Serve immediately!

I'll upload the pictures later tonight as I'm studying in a classroom without my camera with me..

Childhood Memory - Baked Sweet Potato

I apologize for this late update. I just got back home from the beginning of intensitive study for this summer. Sign.

Ok so, today I did something real simple but elegant enough (well at least for me it was really elegant) to keep me awake till 1am - baked sweet potato!



I still remember when I was little, I used to have 1 baked sweet potato everyday after school. The astonishment and joy of having the first taste of it is still so fresh that I cannot forget about it even in a foreign country. You know, I love sweet food and how can I refuse to have it as it just feels like warm sweet feather?

Actually baking sweet potatoes is really easy. Easier than I thought. You simply just need to wash the sweet potatoes without pealing them. Then pierce them a little bit to allow gas coming out while baking to avoid blowing up in the oven. Preheat the oven to about 375 degree. And bake the sweet potatoes for 55 minutes or until they soften. Serve immediately.

Hope you will enjoy it as I always do! :)
