My Mum' s braised duck with potatoes an yam

1 duck, 6 potatoes, yam-optional, brown bean sauce, garlic and salt and soya sauce.

Cut duck in quarter, leave whole potatoes and yam to cook as a whole after peeling off skin.
Fry oil with garlic and brown bean sauce, add duck and toss around the wok, add little water and cover to simmer for 20 minutes. If water dried up, add a little more. Later, add potatoes and yam to suck up the delicious sauce, add soya sauce and simmer for 30 minutes. Check it is cooked. Cut all in bits and place it on rice...........................so-shic(delicious to eat sauce)

My Mum'

Chinese pancake

My kids love this dish I made up with the influence of some Hong Kong cheap cafe. A dessert dish really and yummy..........

Spread peanut butter to stick 2 piece of white bread together. Beat up 1 egg and soak the bread in it. Hot up the pan with oil and dip in the sandwich till brown both sides. Any leftover egg, just dip another piece of bread in it. Again, tosh in pan till borwn both sides. Add golden syrup or honey on top and a knob of butter if want to. Delicious........................

Your kid may ask u for another one.

Chinese/English cooking,ho-sic(delicious to eat),,ckicken with dips

Morning, second day in blog.
I intend to write 2-3 times a week on cooking, simple, inexpensive and nice food to eat.
Popular dish for guests to eat.

Boiled chicken with dips

Boil whole chicken or 2 halves in boiling water for 35 minutes(you can add 1 spring onion and a slice of ginger) then keep the lid on for further 20 minutes, let the heat cook the chicken and the meat will be smooth and tender to eat. Meanwhile, prepare the dip-----slice fresh ginger and cut in in v small bits possible, same for spring onion(do keep all spring onions, especially the green bits). Then mix ginger and spring onion together and cook oil and pour into mixture and add soya sauce and mix. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm....nice sauce to dip the chopped chicken in. I usually do another dip, just pour oyster sauce in to make a dip or another dip with chilli oil for those who likes in hot.

The remaining stock from the chicken, boil in now again and add either spinach or/and chinese cabbage for 5 minutes. Use the vegetables to dip in sauce too. Then add salt and soya sauce to taste. Then you will have chicken with dips and vegetables with dips too and soup to taste with rice. Easy meal for 2-3 people.

Cooking

I am new to Blog but since watching the movie 'Julie and Julia', I have decided to have a go as I do quite a bit of cooking. So just to share some experience with you people.
I am Chinese living in the UK, down south in Cornwall.

First thought of the day.................Confucius said, 'Eating is like sex, human nature.' We all eat and want to eat well....................................he actually said that years ago. That is the start of my diary.
