Baked Salmon Potato Croquette

Light and Creamy Salmon Croquette (Made in Oven!)

My Croquettes are not deep flied.  They are baked in the oven.
Heat up the oven at 450F.   Grill a piece of salmon.  Saute well chopped onions and carrots.  Smash boiled potato.  Crumble the salmon and mix everything.  Add soy milk, oregano, salt and pepper.  Make a flat ball and pat with flour.  Bathe the balls in soy milk and add panko.  Spray olive oil over and bake them in the oven until the surface gets crisp and golden brown.  I put Japanese tonkatsu saurce over them when I eat.  


Ma-Po Tofu w/o Meat

Ma-Po Tofu (Chinese Style Chili con Tofu?)  



A creative way to satisfy craving for meat. I don't like to use dried protein soy textured products, so I make them. In fact, it is quite easy.  Meat source, chili on carne, etc..  You can make them from a package of tofu.

Here is how to make Ma-Po tofu:
First, make minced meat texture with tofu.  Divide a package of firm tofu into 2.  Drain water from a half of the tofu by wrapping with paper towel or clothe.  Squeeze water out and crumble them.  Saute crumbled tofu with sesame oil until they become golden brown. (Now you got a meat textured tofu)  Add crushed garlic, ginger, mushrooms, and thin sliced green papers (optional - this is just my style of Ma-po tofu.).  Add the other half of chopped tofu and chopped scallions.   Season with soy bean chili paste, soy, sake, and sweet rice wine.  Add more sesame oil.  Now you have a perfect meat-less Ma-po tofu.    Enjoy!

Super Muesli Bread

Cleans Your Body with Super Muesli Bread

We make our own muesli for our breakfast (though just mixing a bunch of nuts, fruits, and gains).  I recently learned that in the old age, when our ancestors discovered fire, they crush nuts and made cookies to bring them for their hunting trips.  Oh, them I got an idea.. I can make our super muesli portable by baking them! Though I am not an inventor of muesli bread, but I think I found the good potions for each ingredients.  A result.. not just it is just tasty, according to my friends, the bread promotes good metabolism..  healthy stool outputs :)
