Sardines Patties

Sardines are fish which are usually considered with other dishes. This fish is low on the food chain so it only has trace amounts of poisonous heavy metals like mercury. Sardines are considered a “super food”, meaning they contain many nutrients and omega-3 fatty acids. Today we will try something new and delicious by frying our sardines as patties! We are going to use sardines from a can for this recipe. Let’s start cooking:




First we need to prepare the onion and garlic. Start by chopping the onion in to fine pieces. Next break open each clove of garlic and chop them up finely. When you’re finished combine the pieces of onion and garlic together in a mixing bowl. We’ll take the rest of our ingredients and mix them together with the onion and garlic. Empty out the can of sardines in to the bowl. Spoon in four tablespoons of breadcrumbs. Pour in three tablespoons of soy sauce. Last, crack open an egg and pour the contents into the bowl with the other ingredients. Mix everything together very thoroughly! For this recipe, I used a common table fork to mix the ingredients.




So now we’re ready to go ahead and fry our patties. We’ll put a frying pan over medium heat. Pour in enough oil to cover the bottom of the frying pan. Wait until the oil begins popping in the pan. Take an amount of our sardine patty mixture in a table spoon then carefully place it into the oil in the frying pan. Then, flatten the ball into a patty with the bottom of the spoon. Depending on the size of the frying pan, you should be able to fry at least three or four of the sardine patties at once.




After our patties have fried to a golden brown, remove each one to a dinner plate covered in a paper towel. The paper towel is for absorbing the cooking oil. You can serve sardine patties with tomatoes and lettuce. Please enjoy your meal!

Ingredients:

  • 1 can sardines
  • 1 small onion
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce

PEPPER STEAK | Chinese Take Out

Who doesn’t love a good Chinese takeout? Today we’ll cook our own Chinese pepper steak without the cost of delivery! Keep reading and I’ll walk you through the preparation and completion of a delicious Chinese pepper steak meal.




First, we need the right ingredients for our Chinese pepper steak. Traditionally, beef is used but for this dish we’ll use pork as the meat ingredient. The complete list of ingredients is below:

Ingredients:

  • 1kg / 2.2 lbs pork steaks cubed
  • 1 onion
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup of water or pork broth
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 1 Knorr brand pork bullion cube




The two main ingredients after the meat is a bell pepper and an onion. They both need to be carefully washed then cut in to large pieces. Next, break open each clove of garlic and then either dice or mince each peeled clove. We still need to prepare the pork. Carefully wash your cutting surface with hot, soapy water, then cut the pork into small, thin slices.

Now we’ll get the sauce going in our wok or frying pan. First, lets stir fry our vegetables in oil in the work or frying pan. Heat two tablespoons of oil and when it starts to sizzle, add our prepped bell pepper, onion and garlic. After stir frying for five minutes, add one cup of water or pork broth in a wok or frying pan. Add the two tablespoons of soy and oyster sauce to the hot water. Stir in the Knorr brand pork bullion cube. Last, add the two teaspoons of sugar to the sauce. After stirring for five minutes, add the pork which we sliced in to thin pieces.




Cover the wok or frying pan and let it all cook for an hour. The pork meat should have an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit or 66 degrees Celsius. I recommend purchasing a meat thermometer to ensure you’re safely cooking your meats.

Transfer our pepper steak stir fry to a serving dish. Of course our pepper steak stir fry wouldn’t be complete without a side of white rice! I recommend Jasmine rice for an authentic Chinese stir fry experience.
