Cooking with Shizuen 下厨记

This will be my first time blogging in English and Chinese simultaneously ^^
I have a few friends (actually it's only one or two lol) who think cooking is hard or very time consuming, I actually think it's not such a chore at all (unless you are baking which cleaning will take up A LOT of time that's why I never bake :P), it's more of a go with your feeling type of activity and can be quite relaxing at times. I'm going to show you guys how I cook up a meal in a short time with a spontaneous menu that just pops into my head when I'm hungry. In no way I'm a good cook so pardon me for the bad presentation :P
我有好几个朋友(其实只是一两个啦哈哈）觉得煮东西麻烦或觉得自己煮不出想吃的味道，我个人觉得下厨不需要给自己压力，随自己的感觉拿捏就行了啦，下厨也是一种乐趣其实。今天小女决定示范一下我如何煮一餐不会花很多时间但吃起来ok的。我没学过烹饪，都是这几年留学碰碰撞撞学来的，所以绝对不是专业的哦呵呵(看我煮出来的东西就知道了）

Today I'm going to cook a dish of Korean influenced chilli paste noodles
今天我决定来道受韩式菜影响的辣椒酱面

Chopped up some spring onion and portobello mushroom

青葱和大蘑菇 *切切切

I also used black fungus, some japanese mushroom which i forgot the name, chinese cabbbage

我也用了黑木耳，不知什么名貌似进化版金针菇的日本菇，和大白菜

I also chopped up some fish cake, if you're a vegetarian you can skip this part and use fried tofu, it's equally delicious

我也把一些鱼饼切片，如果你是素食者可以用豆干切片，吃起来也很美味哦

 For noodles, I used Korean wheat noodles which you can easily get from any asian grocery store

面我就买了一个口感类似面线的韩国面条

And of course, chopped garlic! I love using this in any stir fry dishes, adds that kick to the dish

当然不要忘记大蒜啦，任何菜只要把大蒜拿来炒就味道不错了

 I used sesame oil, I also used Korean chilli paste and soy sauce for tasting.

用了麻油来炒菜，调味方面我用了韩式辣椒酱和酱油

 A big fat tablespoon of garlic into the pan

一大汤匙大蒜下锅

 Add in the spring onion and fry them till they appear dry and slightly golden brown

加入青葱，炒至稍微干+金黄感

 After that, put in ALL the things hahaha, add water to make sure everything's cooked, the amount of water you'll have to add in = how much sauce you want.

接下来把菜和鱼饼加进去，记得要加水以确保全部东西都煮熟，要加入的书的分量=你要多少酱

 * DENDENDEN star of the dish, i put in 3 heaps of tablespoon so it's really spicy :P

*蔣蔣蒋 主角出场啦 :D, 我放了三大匙，不辣不过瘾

 stir them all together so everything's in the same sauce consistency 

连续用搅+炒菜的动作一确保菜都吸收了酱汁

 boil the noodles! this only takes around 3 minutes 

把面加入滚水啦！这面只需要滚个3分钟就好啦

 *Spontaneous addition -> a slice of cheese

临时发神经加入一片起司

Done! I've cooked quite a big portion so it can be seperated into few meals, it's nice to eat with rice too ^^. It only took me around 30 minutes to cook this, so if you really divide it into 3 meals, it only takes around 10 minutes per meal.

 完成啦 :D!我煮了比较多，就可以一次吃几餐，配白饭也不错哦。所以其实自己煮不会花很多时间，我前前后后花了差不多半个小时，如果分成几餐来看花的时间大约每餐10分钟左右罢了

Tadaa! It's not that strong presentation wise but here's my chilli paste noodles :D

 *jiajiang! 卖相不好哈哈多多包涵啦，不过这就是非常容易完成的辣椒酱面啦 :D

This is a really random post.
