Mango Smoked Chicken Risotto, 芒果燻雞燉飯

Today we are going to make Mango smoked chicken risotto! I learned this dish from my future mother in law. I think this is her special receipt because I never eat this dish before in any place or any restaurant! 

We all know that western cuisine like to use fruit as ingredients in cooking, apple pork chop, cranberries fries, stewed pear pork chop,etc. but I never had the experience of using such a tasty fruit - Mango to cook a salty dish! The first time when I try it is with a feeling of doubts, because I did try some other dishes with fruit in it and most of them are ok but not great... However, this mango smoked chicken risotto makes me want to eat it again and again~~ Everyone should give it a try!! 

今天要來做芒果燻雞燉飯! 這道菜是跟準婆婆學的, 從來沒在別的地方或任何餐廳吃過哦! 外國人很喜歡用水果入菜這是大家都知道的事, 蘋果豬排, 蔓越梅薯條, 燉梨子豬排...但我還沒有看過把芒果這麼美味的水果丟進鍋子煮成鹹食的經驗, 所以第一次吃的時候, 我是抱著懷疑的心情的...也因為之前試了很多水果入菜的西式料理, 大部分是可以接受, 但不會覺得那是絕頂滋味...不過這道 芒果燻雞燉飯 卻讓我一煮再煮!!! 很好吃的呢!!

Japanese Triangle Rice Ball- Fried Fish Fiber Flavor日式魚鬆御飯糰

When I in Taiwan, it is very common and often to go to 7-11 to buy a Triangle rice ball for lunch or dinner. Although they have so many flavors, from fusion creative flavor to weird flavor, so many that you need to spend 10 mins to decide! But for me, after 10 mins, my final decision still goes back to the simple but tasty Taiwanese flavor - Fried Pork Fiber.

Few weeks ago, surprisingly I found a Made in Taiwan fried fish fiber in one Asia store!!!! Way too happy and bought it without a second thought!! At this time, fried fish fiber is as good as pork one!! And the first thought is: I am going to make Triangle Rice Ball!! :)   

在台灣的時候, 中午很常到7-11買個御飯糰當午餐或晚餐吃~ 雖然有好多從創新到詭異的口味都有! 但是選來選去, 很多時候還是肉鬆口味會勝出! 簡單又有台灣味的味道, 最吸引人了啦!

前幾個星期在荷蘭的亞洲店竟然讓我找到了台灣的”魚鬆”!!!!大為震驚, 二話不說馬上買下手! 沒肉鬆, 魚鬆一樣讚!! 尤其還是台灣產品~~~ 實在是揪感心ㄟ~~而我買到魚鬆後第一個想吃它的方法… 就是御飯糰!!!!!來吧!來吧!~~(雀躍的跳進廚房~)

Super Easy Rice Porridge (Congee) 超簡易電鍋綿密稀飯(粥)

 Kyra and her fiancé are both caught a cold this week~ running noses, burning throat… That really make us don’t have that much appetite~ In this kind of situation, rice porridge is the best choice! It can warm your stomach, easy to eat, easy to digest! 

Normally if you want the best taste and texture, you will need to follow the tradition way which is using pot to stew it from the beginning. But it takes more then 1 hours to stir and stand next to the stove ~ And the other way is only use steam cooker to make it. It saves a lot of time, but the rice and the soup is apart…  The way that Kyra is going to share with you is combining two ways, which is the technical from my mom! Let check it out~   

I will show you how to cook the pure rice porridge, and after that I will post some other flavors that you can play with!!

Kyra 和未婚夫這個星期都在感冒中~流鼻涕, 喉嚨痛, 實在沒什麼食欲, 這種時候稀飯是最好的選擇啦! 暖胃,好入口, 又好消化!一般來說是用鍋子煮, 但是從生米到煮好, 可是要至少要守在火爐旁1小時以上喔~ 只用電鍋煮的話, 水和飯是分開開的窩~~Kyra 這招是雙劍合碧!! 這方法可是Kyra媽媽教的喔!請了~

我會先示範怎麼煮白稀飯, 之後提供可變化的各種口味!
