White-Chopped Chicken

White chopped chicken, the most common way to cook a good chicken, Cantonese-style. I am almost embarassed to post this but I know there is a handful of mostly young people who have no idea how to cook this most popular and common Chinese chicken home dish. White chopped chicken is just boiled chicken–looks white–that’s chopped, not cut, not sliced, to pieces. Easy. And yet not. The easy part is in the boiling but the hard part is getting a chicken good enough to cook this way. The chicken has to be mature (at least 4 months old) and fed on a diet of corn and not processed commercial feed. The younger generation (to me, that’s anyone under 35) has a very different standard for white chopped chicken. Because of Hainan chicken rice, which is made with cheap farmed broilers that are about 8 weeks old, many younger people who have never eaten home-reared mature chickens prefer farmed chicken. They have grown up eating tender, slippery-smooth meat and skin and they don’t mind the bland taste and mushy texture of farmed chickens. They don’t realise that the savory taste of the chicken comes from the chicken rice sauce and …

LAPIS LEGIT – INDONESIAN LAYERED CAKE

BLACK & WHITE…. NIGHT & DAY…. VANILLA & CHOCOLATE How different can two be? From the start they were like black & white , one bouncing inside, the other quiet as a mouse on Christmas Eve. I remember when JP and I, heavily pregnant, nearing the end, went to see Hairspray . Sitting in my movie theater seat Clem would lie quietly, patiently during the dialogue but each time the first chords of the music would begin, the singing and dancing start, my belly would bounce, baby swinging, turning, twisting this way and that to the music. And every night exactly at 10, as I was resting my book on my mountain of a belly, my eyes heavy, off he would start, like clockwork, swirling and twirling, letting me know he was there and wide awake. Simon, on the other hand, hardly moved, still as the night. In the evenings I would get nervous and start to punch and push and pound trying to get some kind of reaction to make sure he was all right and still there. And, of course, Clem popped out according to schedule, right on time, while Simon, tricky little fellow, kept teasing, playing…

World’s Worst Pictionary Players

Seriously – don’t let any of these Wreckerators on your team. On the one hand, I know this is probably supposed to be a car. On the other hand… are you frickin’ kidding me? You know that control panel on Darth Vader’s chest plate – the thing with all the boxes and lights? Yeah, that. Well, imagine that mashed up with a guitar, only they’re both made out of balloons . Or maybe jelly beans. Got it? Can you see it? Good. Now, tell me…does the thing you’re imagining…look something like this? Yes? No? A- hah! Dang, I’m good. Ok, here’s where things get interesting: Go grab your friends/co-workers/family members, and see who can correctly identify these objects the fastest (if at all). Answers are at the bottom. Ready? And… Go! Time’s up! How’d you do? Here are your answers: 1) A hand mixer. Or possibly a hair dryer. But probably a hand mixer. 2) Ballet slippers 3) A helicopter 4) I have no idea. Really. Your guess is as good as mine. (Ugly little bugger, though, isn’t it?) Heather E., Anne D., Lisa O., Leah C., Tessa, & Jenny , if you’re lucky enough to live near …

Lasagna Soup with Basil Ricotta Crème

Serves 8 Total cost: NY $23.24 Cost per serving: NY $2.90 So one of the things that drives me crazy about expensive shaped pastas like manicotti, shells and even curly-edge lasagna noodles is how I invariably end up with broken noodles in the package, no matter how carefully I carry them home from the store. The other thing that drives me crazy about these shapes is that there always seems to be a 2 or 3 noodle mismatch between what I get in a package and what the recipe calls for, leaving me with a whole box in the cabinet to house one lonely manicotti noodle, sadly wondering where all his friends ran off to. And that is precious real estate in my NYC kitchen that I cannot afford to squander. Solution? Save up all your broken or orphaned pasta pieces until you have about 2 cups worth, then make lasagna soup. If you get impatient before you have a enough, you can use any leftover pasta shape or even, if you must, pulverize a couple of whole lasagna noodles from a full …
