RECIPE OF THE DAY
11/26/2013
I'm type of person who decides what to cook after I picked some random ingredients or what is available at the kitchen, just following intuition to sharpen my creativity. So, today I decided to challenge myself and try to cook something with sesame oil, actually this is really new for me, before I just use sesame oil for making sushi or gimbap. It all started from when I tidied up my food cabinet storage yesterday and found a bottle of sesame oil at the very back of my cabinet, even it is still in a sealed condition. I almost forget that I have this delicious seasoning oil.
So, here is the ingredients of what I cooked for lunch as you see at my instagram feed today.
- 2 sliced cow meat (sliced lengthwise into 5/8 inch of thickness)
- Potato (sliced with a thickness 3/8 inch)
- 3 medium Chinese cabbage (sliced or non, I did not slice my cabbage)
- 1/2 Carrot (sliced with a thickness around 1/8 inch)
- 1 Eggplant ( sliced round with a thickness of 1/2 inch)
- 1 tomato (sliced into wedges)
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper ( or based on your needs)
- Sesame oil
- 1 cup of cooking oil
- 125 ml water
- 1/2 big lime
- 2 Onion, thinly sliced
- 2 Garlic, thinly sliced
- Parsley
All the ingredients can be made into 2 portion. Some of the ingredients are at the picture below. Really easy to found them right?
Now, we came to the cooking step. I divided the step into 3 part since each step needs different treatment.
First Part.
- Fried potato in cooking oil.
- Cook the potato until tender and lightly gold.
Second Part.
- Heat 2 tablespoon of sesame oil on a frying pan, then put onion, stir around half minute.
- Add the garlic, stir it again.
- Put all vegetables (Chinese cabbage, eggplant, carrot) and stir slowly 1 minute.
- Add water 75ml.
- Close the frying pan to steam the ingredients.
- Add tomato when the ingredients are half cooked. Steam again.
Third Part.
- Mix meats with ginger, salt, white pepper, coriander, lime juice. Leave on until you finished doing the first and the second part.
- Steam meats in 50 ml water until tender.
- Heat 2 tablespoon sesame oil to fry the meat until lightly brown.
And this is it, the final delicious result of my cooking today :) Use your parsley as garnish. I put my Chinese cabbage at the very bottom, can you see it? But I did not put my eggplant on the picture because it was not really photogenic :p
Umh,,, I think next time I would like to steam my meat with the sesame oil as well besides all the spices instead of just frying it in. I really love the taste of my steam vegetables mixed with the taste of sesame oil, but I cannot taste the same for the meat. The meats tasted like all spices added when I steam them. I'm not saying that was not good, they are all taste super yummy but yes I just want to taste a little bit more of sesame oil from the meat.
So, happy trying, People :)
