Stir Fried Spicy Bell Pepper with Beef and Candied Orange & Beef with Broccoli
I love it! I found a few good use of candied orange peels I made a few months ago while making my "Calisson de Polly". I love the food adventure and learn about the spices the different cultures use. They really bring out the interesting dimensions to the flavor and make the ordinary dish 'new', I think. Of course, I wanted to make the dish that my mother makes, but I don't have her 50 years old wok (an excuse.) Flank steaks were cut into strips and marinated in 'potato starch' (not corn starch) with less sodium soy sauce, pinch of sugar, and a bit of water.

Broccoli is blanched first, then stir fried. Return beef back and stir fried.

Crispy Sockeye Salmon over Jasmine Rice and Baby Japanese Potatoes
This is a dish that I concocted from all the ingredients I find in my refrigerator.
Jasmine rice is cooked in a saute pan with finely chopped onions, chopped red bell peppers, pilaf style. Japanese baby sweet potato fingerling about 3 inches were washed and microwaved at "potato" setting. Peeled chopped and added to the rice to be stir fried. At the end, add a few fresh crushed basil leaves from your kitchen's fresh herb garden (if you have some). Cover and set aside. Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon fillet is covered with Japanese bread crumbs - Panko mixed with some spices - Hungarian paprika, salt and pepper, chili flakes and placed breaded side down in a saute pan with olive oil - cook for approx 2 min or until the crumbs show sign of browning/crispness. Then, turn the fillet over to finish cooking until done.

Chinese Peach Blossoms
The peach tree blossomed right on time with Chinese Lunar New Year to welcome the spring. "TSWEN DAO LE" - spring is here. They are so accurate. But really.... February was freezing cold. Maybe it was just me because of the terrible 'cold' I had.
By the end of March, after the heavy rain, all the beautiful petals covered the ground and now it has clothed itself with green leaves.
