Rice Vermicelli Soup With Shrimp Ball

Making shrimp ball is quite easy if only you could use a food processor. I used chicken broth and fish sauce for soup.


Taro's rate: no mark
He rejected it. He must have liked it though....

Simmered Pork Libs with Kumquat Compote


Despite I made Kumquat compote a month ago, Either Jun nor Taro are not willing to eat it. Usually I serve it with yoghurt. Probably that's the problem. They don't want to eat cold stuff in winter!
In order to consume the kumquat compote, made simmered pork libs with them.
Instead of sugar, I added kumquat compote. Besides it, I added sake, soy sauce and mirin.
Before simmering pork libs, I boiled and drained them once to get rid of scum.
I think Shaoxing Wine( Chinese wine) would be more tasteful than Japanese sake, but it's enough tastey. :)
Aside from pork libs, I added potatoes and Konnyaku in it. They are also beautiful.

Taro's rate:no mark
He didn't eat at all. His dinner was breastfeed milk only. I think recently he recognizes the time to say good bye to breastfeeding milk will come soon. Thus he intentionally wants to have it. Yes, it's on purpose to eager for breastfeed milk.
How should I quit breastfeeding? Hummm.....

Asian Food night



Got Alfonsino heads and bony parts. Made alfonsino soup. Put alfonsino, crashed garlic and ginger, and fresh lemon grass into the boiling water and lemon grass, seasons with fish sauce and S&P. It takes only 15 minutes to serve! We had it as "soup-Gohan" which means that pouring soup over the rice.

The other dish was canola(rape blossoms) and tomato salad. I used the leftover sweet-soy ground meat which I made several days ago as a dressing. Place olive oil, chopped garlic and fresh coliander into the pan with low heat. Add sweet-soy ground meat and rice vinegar.Put the dressing on the rape blossoms and tomatoes. This is also quick and yumm dressing.

Taro's rate:★
He was so tired that he didn't eat anything except breast feeding milk. The soup is supposed to his favour though....
I think Taro might be an alien who comes from somewhere in the universe so-called "Breast-feeding land" to propagate how wonderful breast-feeding is to the everyone.
When will be his propaganda over by the way?
