mash potatoes with skin

I "created" a recipe where I boil the potatoes (with their skin), mash them, drizzle them with olive oil, and season them with steak seasoning (or if you don't have: mix garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt and spice/herb of your choice (e.g. dill seeds, rosemary, oregano... etc), and then add a layer of cheese on top (I used three kinds of cheese) and put them in the oven for 20 minutes on 230degree celsius uncovered )

All you need is a blender

Corn in oven

 

I made these quarter corns (via tiktok)

Season them with salt, peppers and various spices along with olive oil and put them in the oven for 20 minutes 420F, 220C

they were perfect :)

*tip: I used steak seasoning to marinade mines. 

Today I learned: fried tofu and dementia

Today I Learned that Fried Tofu prevents Dementia!

First, here is a list of foods that can prevent dementia

• fried tofu
• lecithin
• vitamin E

One of the reasons that Fried tofu is better than regular tofu is that it is moist and can hold in more nutrients with its oily barrier.

But an important point is: when pan-frying Fried Tofu, there is no need to wash the fried tofu, if you do, you remove the nutrients, there is also no need to add oil, the oil on the fried tofu is sufficient to pan-fry it.

Here are some ways you can cook it

Stuffed Fried Tofu

1. slit the fried tofus so they are like little pouches.
2. put various mushrooms and cheese
3. sprinkled with salt and pepper.
4. panfry them (WITHOUT oil)
5. once the fried tofus are crispy, and the cheese has melted, they are ready to serve!

Fried Tofu Salad

You can add Fried tofu to any Japanese-style Salad.

Fried Tofu Nabe (hot pot)

Slice Raddish, carrots and Burdock (牛蒡) and put them in a hot pot

Add soy sauce, bonito flakes (or some kind of Japanese dashi) and water

Then when it boils, add the fried tofu

Today I Learned: Black Fungus

This is part two from yesterday's post where I said I will talk about the methods they use to prepare 黒菌, 黑木耳, Wood Ear, Black Fungus.

Tempura

one of the benefits of tempura is that the oil preserves the Vitamin D in the fungus.

Egg and Black Fungus

Eggs help the extract the Vitamin D from the Black Fungus into your body, so it will be good to eat them together

Cook with Rice

You can add black fungus as you are cooking rice in a rice cooker, this method helps retain the Vitamin D in the Black Fungus because the rice will absorb the essence of the Black Fungus.

Miso Soup

You can add Black Fungus to Miso soup. Boil it first, then add green onion and then miso paste.

Natto

You can try adding Black Fungus when you are eating natto, this can increase your immunity by 70%.

Today I learned: milk curds そ (so)

 

Today I learned that you can make a traditional Japanese snack (300 year old) called そ (so) by cooking and stirring milk on a flat nonstick pan for 1.5-2 hours (or until it has a buttery consistency), then form it into a roll and put the roll into a refrigerator for an hour. When you take it out, slice the roll and you will have そ (so).

Cheese crisps

 I made some cheese crisps using some shredded cheese, a piece of parchment paper and a microwave :P

I didn't expect them to turn out quite decent :P (this method got rid of a lot of the excessive oil in the cheese :D)

(I'll post this over on my reviews blog too, it will be up on the 22nd)
