MUSHROOM RICE with DORY FISH
PRESSURE COOKER


Tuesday, March 8

Justine is helping me in the kitchen this evening. It's been a while since we last photographed our cooking session. My camera was on a vacation. :D

We are gonna use the pressure cooker to prepare a simple dinner with mushrooms and fish... and stir-fry a vegetable dish. Let me check what vegetables we have in the fridge. 


(allow some time for checking)


Ahh ... what have we here???

Cabbage. :D

 1a. Ozonize the Fish.

Dump in the other accompanying ingredients as well:
onion, garlic, ginger, dried cillies.

 See the eeeeecky stuff that emerge?
That's not foam, mind you.
It's a rubber-y subtance that was about to be 
deposited in our bodies.Yikes!

Ib. Ozonize the Vegetables.

Cabbage, carrot, tomato, shitake mushrooms, 
coriander leaves.

 Oooh, the fish smells clean and fresh after 
a uhh, bubble bath ... :D

 2. Saute Ingredients.

Saute onions, garlic and ginger in dark sesame seed oil.

Add cumin. Add dried chilles.

By the way, Justine is frying while I toss the ingredients in. :D

 Add pre-washed rice grains. 

Add half a cube of NO-MSG mushroom stock.

Add a circle-dash shoyu. Add a shake of pepper.

Fry Fry Fry ... on low flame.

 Add mushroom. Add water.

Close lid of Pressure Cooker. Turn the flame up.
  Let it hissssss for a minute, before turning off the flame 
and allowing it to transform the contents in the pot.


The Pressure Cooker is a magic pot, you know ...

 3. Prepare the Fish.


Season with lemon juice.
I didn't add salt here. Trying to cut down ... you know, 
be healthy and all ... I think just for today ... :D

 Saute onions, garlic and ginger with dark sesame seed oil.

Add the fish pieces in. Add chopped coriander leaves.

Fry fry Fry.

 Add dark shoyu. Add light shoyu. Add a bit of water.

I ran out of brown rice vinegar so, I added some 
Lingam's Chilly Sauce for a bit of kick.
 Fry Fry Fry ... until done.
Transfer to a bowl and leave aside.

 I didn't wash the pan after frying the fish. 

Heat up sesame seed oil.
Saute onions and garlic. 
Add a pinch of tumeric powder. 
Add cabbage and carrots.
Add seasalt. Add a small cup of water.
Simmer until done.

 Yayyy ... The rice is ready!

Sorry about the photo. The flash wasn't on.
Bryan said he could smell the fragrant 
rice all the way from the lift of our condo.
That's about 20 steps away. 

Told You the PC is magical ... :D

Add the fish in and fluff up the contents. 

Hmmm - Mmmm ...

 The rice is absolutely delicious and tasty. :D

Bon Appetite !!!


The mushrooms tasted a bit bland. Next time, I would stir-fry the mushrooms 
with the fish, and add them on when the rice is ready. :D
