    cessy08 wrote a new post, Beef Strips congee recipe 8 years, 1 month ago

    It is time to take the soup and congee cookbook out of storage now that the colder nights are here. While I am not a big fan of soups since I get hungry immediately after dinner, I also don’t deny that tucking in […]

    • Congee is nothing more than a simple rice porridge, but man can it be comforting! It’s an Asian breakfast staple, a dim sum classic, and a blank canvas to add your own flavors. Traditionally white rice is used, but sometimes I like to use brown rice for a heartier, healthier porridge with a subtle nutty flavor. Heartier vegetables such as kale, escarole, shiitakes, leeks, and even Brussels sprouts are perfect in it. One of my favorite combos is this recipe: marinated strips of beef, dried shiitake mushrooms, and garlic chips.

      Why this recipe works:

      Adjusting the ratio of water typically used for a more traditional white rice congee produces a brown rice congee that’s just as creamy and silky.
      Soaked shiitakes, garlic chips, garlic oil, and beef add layers of flavor to make a hearty, comforting dinner or breakfast.

      or the Beef: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cornstarch, soy sauce, oil, salt, and sugar. Mix well and set aside in the refrigerator.

      2.
      For the Garlic Chips: Peel and thinly slice the cloves from a whole head of garlic. Add slices of garlic in a saucepan with olive oil. Turn the flame to medium low and slowly fry the garlic until pale golden brown. Stir the garlic every few minutes, checking to make sure they are not burning.

      This should take about 15 minutes. When the garlic is done, drain through a fine mesh strainer set in a bowl. Transfer garlic to a small bowl and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix and set aside. Reserve the garlic oil.

    • This is one of my favorite recipe of beef strips that I must add to your recipe. It is somewhat simiar, though there are some differences.
      A great tasting and savory beef strips dish that you can cook any time. This dish is so easy the ingredients in cooking this dish is usually available in you kitchen pantry and your refrigerator. You only need the fry the beef first to enhance the flavor then saute some aromatics like garlic and onion. After that put some water, tomato sauce, vinegar, horse raddish, mustard, salt and pepper then simmer until the beef is tender. One interesting ingredient in this dish is the horse radish that makes this a spicy beef. Usually a lot of chilies or peppers are used to make a dish spicy. But the spiciness of this dish comes from the horse radish. If you wonder what is a horse radish and what it taste like, if you have tasted wasabi paste, then that’s it! it taste like wasabi. Actually horse radish is usually substituted to wasabi plant when making wasabi paste for sushi because wasabi are very expensive.

      By the way, you can also use pork steak instead of beef if there is none available or you don’t find beef appetizing. Also, beef is tougher than pork so it will depend on you which meat you want to cook in this dish.

    Unfortunately or fortunately I do not have a favorite person in the family. We all have those times when we feel we like one person more than the otherbut that doesn’t go to say that they are your favorites. I love everyone in my family and that all make me feel special at different times. So to answer you I do not be a a favorite person in my family.

    I am happy I received my second payment from LiteracyBase very early this morning. To be honest, I was a bit worried as I was expecting to receive payment on the Monday (10th of October). With all the problems […]

    • I have never redeemed at this site and did not know you have to ask for redemption. At another site when you reach pay out you get paid. It’s automatic. I must remember that. Although I have not reached pay out yet. Good to know.

      • You need not wait till the end of the month but redeem when you reach the minimum of 10 dollars. They will however pay you on the 10th or later of the following month. You can even collect dollars and postpone redemption.

    • These are minor pin pricks but they have paid everyone. I got paid four times.

      • Yeah, that’s why I usually wait a couple more days for the site Admin to work on it or if I can’t wait any longer – send them a direct message.

    • Hey, how fast does it take for you people to reach the minimum payout?

    • LB is one of the best sites that pays regularly and honestly I have read in many posts that a few cents are paid for the post of 300 words I think in three hundred words no body can explain the real issue in simple language with strong arguments that is the writers are supposed to write the blog post of 700 to 1000 words.

      Writing entertaining, interesting blog posts can generate cash for you through ads, affiliate links and other revenue options. Your blogging success will depend on your writing talent, whether your blog covers a popular subject and the popularity of the links you include (whether backlinks or pay-per-click links, like Google AdWords).

      Who doesn’t want to earn more money? Whether it’s through part-time jobs or freelance work, adding more dollars to your cash flow every month is always nice. But unfortunately, not everyone has the time to pick up another job or do additional work on the side. If that’s the case for you, don’t give up. Instead, turn to the one thing you probably spend a majority of your time on: the internet.

    • Great to see you getting paid regularly. I hope that this site continues to pay regularly.

    Salted egg everything is the “food trend” these days. Just have a look around and you can see they have sprinkled almost every food item imaginable with salted egg yolks. From easy recipes up to popular snacks, […]

    • Mmmhh am just trying to imagine what it tastes like. If I may ask is it the actual skin from fish or is something else added. Am imagining it must be crunchy like crisps if am not wrong and maybe it’s deep fried? I would like to know how they are made from scratch maybe that way I will have an idea about what everyone is on about fish skin. Otherwise I know how it feels when you are away from home and you get to see posts of good that you love back at home and can’t have it, it’s not a very good feeling but at least you got to sample and you loved it lucky you.

    • I have never had something like this before. It looks delicious by the looks of it, and also by the description of it that you have clearly elaborated here in your blog post. I might have tried this thing as well as I am open to experimenting but I don’t know if it will be available in the local market where I live. I have had fish chips before and that’s very delicious too. Can’t seem to compare the two as I haven’t tasted this yet.
      Thanks for you review. 🙂

    @ptrikha15 yes absolutely. With companies which has more than 10,000 people and most of the IT companies have huge employee strengths across the world, they can easily achieve this if they have the right R&R for it.

    • A sky blue color (sheer) nail lacquer with multi-coloured flakes of confetti-style glitter. A flashback to the 2010 Grammy Awards and Pink’s magical performance of her hit song of the same name.

      Size: Tester & Salon

      Features & Benefits:
      Infused with treatment benefits to keep your nails happy and healthy
      Dries fast, lasts long and applies evenly
      Free of formaldehyde, toluene and dibutyl phthalates
      Slightly thicker consistency and densely packed brush bristles

      oluene is a commonly used solvent that creates a smooth finish across the nail and keeps the pigment – the colour – from separating in the bottle.
      But it can affect the central nervous system and cause reproductive harm.
      Its major use is as an additive in gasoline.
      Formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, is used as a nail-hardening agent and disinfectant for nail care tools.
      Exposure to dibutyl phthalate, added to polishes to provide flexibility, has been linked to reproductive problems.

      In addition to this trio, there are many other harmful chemicals used in nail care products.
      Many nail salons lack adequate ventilation and there aren’t very many ways that air inside the salon can escape outside, and vice versa.
      This means chemicals evaporated from nail products are often trapped inside salons – and workers are continuously exposed.

      So workers’ exposure is amplified: First they experience direct contact with the chemicals in the products, then they continuously breathe in these chemicals within small, poorly ventilated salons

    No I don’t think that should be done at any given time. Employees should be accorded all the respect that they need regardless. When you get employed you are employed because you are familiar with the job market that you are going to join, it’s not like you don’t know what your going to do. So employers shouldn’t be given the mandate to exploit…[Read more]
