味付半熟玉子

食拉麵我最中意點味付半熟玉子。通常都是10蚊一隻或者5蚊半隻。自己如可以在家整就可以隨時有得食，亦很化算。

做法唔複雜，但要用少少心機。先煮半熟蛋。凍水放4-5隻蛋(我用M size)，水一定要蓋過蛋面。由落凍水計煮約8分鐘。每個人用既鍋，火力同蛋既size唔同。第一次煮出黎過生或過熟，下次自己再adjust下時間。

跟著煮湯汁。我用以下材料煮汁:
醬油: 3湯匙
味醂: 3湯匙
料理酒: 4湯匙
糖: 1茶匙

煮好湯汁，放入已去殼既蛋，沉過面，入雪櫃半日至一日便成！

Seafood Risotto (Risotto ai frutti di mare) with carrot cream soup

Today hubby placed order for a risotto as he missed the food in Italy so much. So today I decided to prepare a Seafood Risotto (Risotto ai frutti di mare). Since only two of us I did not want to make big portion, instead of going to wet market to buy 2 kg of fish and seafood to make own fish stock, I bought a pack of risotto with fish stock powder. I also needed  a mixture of seafood – I love mussels, clams, prawns, sliced squid n diced octopus. For convenience, you can find the frozen assorted seafood pack from shop. Today I bought one pack with all the seafood I needed and its size allowed me to do three times so I divided them  into 3 portions which cost only $30 and stored the rest of 2 portions in freezer for future use.

Seafood Risotto

Ingredients:

risotto rice: 1 pack (for two portion) with fish stock powder

mussels, clams, prawns, sliced squid, diced octopus: 500 g,1 kg if with shells

parmesan cheese: 50 g (grated)

parsley & tomato: some (chopped)

Seasonings:

chicken powder: 1 tbsp

olive oil: 1 tbsp

sugar: 1/2 tsp

water: 500 ml

pepper: some

Season the seafood with chicken powder if they are frozen ones, no need to season if they are fresh. Fry the seafood with olive oil (1 tbsp) till half done and then remove them from heat. Pour the water into a saucepan, add the pack of risotto, sugar & salt, stirr well and then bring it to boil, stir thoroughly until it boils, then turn to medium heat and leave it to cook for 15 mins without a lid till sauce thickens and risotto gets softened but sticky. Add the fried seafood, parsley & tomato and add a bit water if need, cook for 5 mins. Drizzle pepper and sprinkle grated parmesan, stir till cheesy and done!

You always need a soup to kick off a risotto. Today I made a  carrot cream soup as I still have some carrot left (but I didnt really use cream but milk for better diet).  Steps, easy:
