CHINESE SAUSAGE STIR-FRY

I will not pretend to make this sound as a Chinese recipe. I use Chinese Sasauge. It is different, but it is good. You can try it. Let’s start.

Ingredients:

1 egg

½ chopped onion

½ chopped carrot

½ chopped red pepper

½ chopped green pepper

½ chopped squash

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger

7 small Chinese Style Sausages

A bunch of bean sprouts

½ cup sliced canned water chestnuts

Some vegetable oil

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon duck sauce or plum sauce

Some salt if needed

Some freshly ground black pepper

Some rice vermicelli

First we will prepare an omelette. I bet you can make it. Frying pan, oil, beaten egg. Easy. I will not expand on it. Once you have done it, reserve it.

Cook the rice vermicelli following the instructions in the package. Easy too. Reserve it too.

The next thing will be preparing the vegetables. We will prepare the sausages too, slicing them.

And then we can go to a wok or frying pan. Heat some oil and when it is hot, add the onion, the peppers and the carrots. Cook for a three minutes. Then we will add the squash, the garlic and the ginger. Cook for a couple of minutes and add then add the sausage. These Chinese Sausages must be cooked. You can’t eat them without cooking them as it happens with some Spanish chorizos. After two more minutes, we will add the bean sprouts, the water chestnuts, the soy sauce and the duck sauce. Go on cooking for some minutes. Then, add the omelette cut in stripes.

You will have everything ready then. Serve it hot along with the rice vermicelli. Instead of rice vermicelli you can use rice if you prefer it. Enjoy!

DULCE DE LECHE

A delicious danger for dessert today. Dulce de Leche. A danger because it is delicious but very caloric. One has to be responsible when eating Dulce de Leche. If you want to take the risk, here you have the recipe. In fact this is like a fake Dulce de Leche recipe. The original one implies more work. I am giving you a recipe which simplifies the way of making it. But it is really good. Very tasty. Let’s cook.

Ingredients:

A 14oz can sweetened condensed milk (in fact, if you want, you can use 2 or 3 cans if you want)

Some water for the pressure cooker

Not many ingredients, right? That is because this is a very easy recipe. I normally do it with one can, but if you want, you can put two or three cans in the pressure cooker. Again, think about your weight.

First thing is preparing the can or cans of condensed milk. Remove the label from the can or cans. Then put the can or cans in the pressure cooker. Put them horizontally, not vertically. Cover the cans with water. Close the pressure cooker and, starting to count when the cooker starts steaming, have it cooking for 50-55 minutes. When the time is over, wait for some minutes and then open the cooker. The water will be very hot, so the best thing is to let it cool by itself. It you want, you can remove the water. But be careful when you are doing it. Anyway, you will have to wait for several hours. It will take time. When it is completely cold, store it in a cold place or open it.

And from that moment, it is up to you. Be responsible. Do not eat too much at a time. Use it as an ingredient to make different desserts. And from time to time, indulge!

Enjoy!
