A Little Something Sour, Spicy, Salty and Sweet

Gloria's Home-made MOSS BURGER Burger

"Why did you want to make a MOSS burger? "-Me (thinking that she could have just heated up some leftovers that laid out in front of her).

"Because I was sooo hungry! Haha"-Gloria

Ah, I've been there. When you get so hungry that only the most filling of foods (which usually requires precious time and energy to prepare) can only satisfy such a greedy gut. Sure, if you're really hungry just rip up a bag of chips or pop a can of spaghetios in the microwave-but why not amplify that feeling of satisfaction to the max by feeding a crying stomach that's willing to swallow any edible crud you throw at it and treat it with a meal worthy of being a called a 'hearty meal'.



1) Mold the rice with a little sesame oil and hon dashi into a patty 2) Fry over medium heat until it's crispy enough to hold itself.





3) Customize your own fillings and sauces, in Gloria's case she sandwhiched in some black bean and pepper beef and lettuce with chili oil sauce mixed with a little sugar and soy sauce.



The crispyness of the rice was soooo good, well done Gloria.

Vick's New Ice Shaver

It was only $5 at the 99 Ranch and had made its way to be Vick's most used kitchen appliance. Pro: I get to eat shaved ice to my heart's content Con: The damn thing sounds like nails on a chalkboard and makes me cringe with every crank





"Mashed taro is a must!"- Vick

Hot and Sour Soup and Fried Bean Curd with Mrs. Wang

This woman is one of my role models for providing wholesome motherly cooking. As I expressed my utmost admiration for her dishes, she graciously offered me a sweat deal:

"Angela, I will teach you to prepare 2 different dishes a week if you'd like"- Mrs. Wang

"Wow! Really? Thank you!" Me, in broken Chinese

"But, only under one condition. You must help me download my favorite dramas."



Eggs, black fungus, carrots, ground pork, tofu and bamboo shoots

Make sure to scramble the eggs with a little cornstarch and water before flowering it in the boiling water.



Salt, hon dashi, white pepper, white vinegar, dark soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar.



Put in the cornstarch and vinegar and white pepper in last to adjust taste.



Now a great vegetarian dish- Fried Bean Curd

Wet bean curd ( IMPORTANT: make sure to pat dry with towels do prevent splattering when it's hit the hot oil)





Sauce: Soy sauce, garlic, white whine, sugar, chili oil, hon dashi







It was crispy outside and moist with tangy spicy sauce soaked in the inside a very easy and delicious dish.

My First Cream Puffs

Afterall that salty, spicy food I had a hankering for something sweet and creamy





For finishing touches i decided to drizzle some chocolate and sprinkle some confectioner's sugr on top, makes a major difference in appearence and taste.



Yes, they were as good as they look :)
