Spicy Tomato Spaghetti – Jamie Oliver’s

Just copy down a recipe from Jamie’s flyer.

Ingredient

4 fresh red chillies
Olive oil
3 Cloves of garlic, peeled and finely sliced
1 red onion, peeled and finely chopped
a few sprigs  of fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked, stalks finely chopped
3*400g tins plum tomatoes
sea salt and freshly ground black peper
500g spaghetti
red wine vinegar
extra virgin olive oil

Method

Make a slash about 2cm long in the middle of each chilli. Add a few lugs of olive oil to your pan and place on a medium heat. Add the chillies and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until smelling fantastic.

Add the garlic, onion and parsley stalks to pan and reduce to a low heat. Cook gently for another 5 minutes, or until soft but not coloured. Tip the tinned tomatoes into the pan and let them cook down for around 20 minutes, breaking them up with a wooden spoon as you go, or until you have a lovely think rich sauce.

Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to boil and cook the spaghetti according to packet instructions.

Taste your tomato sauce and season well with salt, pepper and a splash of red wine vinegar. If it’s spicy enough as it is, remove and discard the chilies. If you want to give it more of a kick, deseed the chillies then finely chop the flesh and stir it back through the sauce.

As soon as the spaghetti is ready, scoop out the reserve a cupful of the cooking water then drain well in a colander. Add the spaghetti to your pan of sauce, adding a splash of the cooking water to loosen it if needed. Mix ell then divide between your plates. Serve drizzled with extra virgin oliver oil and scattered with the chopped parsley leaves.

たこ焼き

たこ焼き- Octopus ball Osaka traditional snack food
One of my favourite as well =) I used to have it in China when I haven’t meet the real one in Osaka. Then I had it with my lovely Darling at home, though the pan is smaller and fire is not very good, always fail some, succeed some, then had all of them. But it’s fresh and hot, full of love ♥
This time, after haven’t had them for so long, was surprisingly good =P
Recipe for two people:
♥1.4 cup of flour (we used 1 cup of bread and pizza flour, then added 0.4 cup of tempura flour later, use less water for normal flour)
♥1.4L water
♥3 eggs
♥2 bag of dash (japanese fish stock) (silver bag)
–> Tempura flour makes it crispy, and better flour makes taste better too <–
——–mix the above well, filter twice
♥spring onion
♥red ginger
♥bubbles
♥fish – octopus, fish cake (ちくわ), little shrimp
——- put fish in after heat up the pan with oil, then fill in half with thin flour paste, then is the bubble,s, spring onion, red ginger, then last cover with flour paste.
–> Points: *Enough oil for the pan, and burn it well before use, so the pan is happy to make takoyaki, *Strong fire to make it crispy from the beginning then reduce fire so it won’t get over burnt, *Lots of fillings to make the ball rounder and nicer, * Lots of 天かつ (tenkazu) makes it tasty, * Thinner spring onion is better than fat ones <–
♥Mayonnaise
♥takoyaki sauce
♥aonori あおのり (green little seaweed powder?)
♥fish flake
——– first two, mix as sauce, and last two as topping ♥
Final picture will be
 The best and original takoyaki is from Osaka, Hanshin Department store. B1 where all the foods are sold.. ♥

お好み焼き Okonomiyaki 杂样煎饼

2014.08.30
Cabbage 3/4, spring onion, red ginger, pork slice
Dashi 2 bag, egg 4, flour and tempura flour 1+.5 cup + water 1.5 cup
* cabbage is new cabbage from end of summer, quite light and loose inside. Add one spoon of salt, probably is why it turned so watery too.
* Add tempura flour to make it crispy, somehow it didn’t turn out as expected.
* four eggs seems quite a lot, but restaurants use one egg for each of them though
* flour paste seems far too watery since the cabbage is juicy, maybe try total of less then one cup of flour and water next time

说道这道“菜”的时候,我第一次找出中文的翻译,不过中文的听起来就没有那么特别了呢。第一次吃可能是小T下厨的吧,然后09年的冬天,第一次和小T妈妈和惠ちん还有另外以为姐姐在家里吃的。后来时不时的在mel的家里也做,有一次楼下的reception美女还借了菜谱去。只是每次小T都说只做一便要我记住,可是每次都记不住。。。

今天要做的时候还要我自己做出来,等我拿出recipe book的时候,又说不用按书上的做。真是够麻烦的。哎~有这么个孩子在家要养。。。

正文开始

材料:圆白菜,葱,红姜,猪肉片(猪颈肉);面,水,鸡蛋,だし;杂样煎饼酱,千岛沙拉酱/美乃资,柴鱼片,青粉

1。面2cup,水2-3cup,だし2包,鸡蛋4个,搅拌均匀。

2。圆白菜,葱,红姜,均切碎,适中随意。

3。用筛子将1过滤到2中,混合。

4。平锅中放油,油热后放原料3,汤勺一勺半查不多。用勺子把中间稍微压平,呈圆饼状,因为中间大都不容易熟。

5。放猪肉片在上面。

6。煎差不多3-5分钟,用大平铲翻过来。

7。5-6分钟后等猪肉煎的差不多时可以翻回来。

8。稍等片刻,放杂样煎饼酱和美乃资,用小勺背面和匀,放上柴鱼片及青粉。

9。完。

 

其实此菜还有很多变种,上次小T的朋友带我们去一家小店吃,他们会放很多东西在里面,记得最清楚的还是放了炒面进去。

嘻。

正好小T讲完电话。

 

续:下一次用了1。5cup面,2cup水,1包だし,2个鸡蛋,结果还是太稀了。。。20101203

20110720 Note: Now I like to put bean shoot in it, a different feel and flavour, but when add other vegetables, we make the flour paste thicker, 1.5cup flour : 1.5 cup water
