Bon appetit !

This is an idea exists in my mind for a long time.


It started few years ago when I watched a movie called Julie & Julia. The movie talks about in 2002, a young writer Julie Powell has an unpleasant job in call centre to listen complains from victims of Sep for rebuilding the world trade centre. To do something she enjoys, she decides to kook every recipe in Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child. She starts to write a blog to motivate herself and document her progress.11 attacks. During writing blogs, Julie's life changes a lot and she finally find the most positive way to face her life. Eventually, Julie's blog is featured in a story published in the New York Time.






There is a part in the movie I love the most. She and her husband just newly moved, life is unstable. One day she went back home and saw a lot of boxes at home with their stuff inside. She started cooking and saying


"I cooked artichokes with hollandaise sauce which is melted butter that's been whipped into a frenzy with egg yolks until it's died and gone to heaven, and let me say this: is there anything better than butter? Think it over: every time you taste something that's delicious beyond imagining and you say, "What is in this?", the answer is always going to be, Butter. The day there's a meteorite heading toward the earth and we have thirty days to live, I am going to spend it eating butter. Here's my final words on the subject, you can never have too much, butter."


I got idea from this movie and started my blog few years ago in Chinese. My bf Danny motivated me to start writing blog again by finishing everything I made and giving me a big smile. He is a super muscle man with a cute belly.(well, I spelt as mussel just now. Always confused about these word. ex: desert & dessert) Danny can eat 5 bowls cereals in one day and keep going.Cooking starts to become one of my hobbies because I have such an amazing bf to finish dishes I made and never let me down.




TODAY'S DISH: SMILING PAK CHOI RICE

My hometown is in the south east of China, rice is the main food there. I just found out this vegetable is called Pak Choi, I guess the pronunciation is from Cantonese. In mandarin it is called 白菜（bai cai). This is a very simple dish takes around 10 -15mins to finish.


Here is the picture of process:





Steps:


1. Prepare Chinese sausage(or any meat you can find in your fridge) x 1
                 Mushroom x 2
                 Cashew Nuts x (Whatever you want)
                 Pak Choi x 1
                 Wash them and cute the Pak Choi & Mushroom(I will recommend separate Pak Choi's stem and leaves )


2. Warm the pan first. Then pull a TEA SPOON olive oil. wait for the oil becomes warm.
Put sausage into the pan and wait until the sausage is sweating(haha~not fat anymore)
Put Cashew nuts into the cook for around 30 seconds
Put mushrooms and Pak Choi steam. Pull a tiny water (around 10 ml)
Stir things in the pan wait untiling water comes out from Pak Choi stem.
Put Pak Choi leaves and put a TEA SPOON soya sauce and a TEA SPOON salt.


3. Wait until the leaves become soft and it's done!
