Creamy Bacon Pasta & Minced Pork Steam Egg

Creamy Bacon Pasta

I love pasta, any kind of pasta, but especially love creamy flavoured ones during the winter, therefore I made this creamy bacon pasta which I learn from a cook programme. It's so simple and fast!

Ingredient:

1. Dried pasta (to your own preference)

2. Chopped bacon

3. Single or double cream

4. 1 egg

5. Small knob of butter

6. Grated Parmasen cheese

Method:

1. Boild the pasta until al dente

2. While boling the pasta, we can mixt the sauce. Mix together the single cream, egg and parmasen cheese together and season it together.

3. Take out the pasta when it is ready, remember to keep some of the pasta water so we can use it for the sauce.

4. In another pan, heat up the bacon until slightly golden brown, then add the sauce into it. Mix it well for a min and add in the pasta.

5. Keep stiring the pasta with the sauce and add the butter and keep mixing it.

6. Finally, just taste it before serving, add more seasoning or cheese if needed.

Minced pork steam egg

I learnt this dish form my Taiwanese grandmother when I was in primary school in Taiwan. It's simple but it's a delicate dish too. It is a very common dish both in Japan and Taiwan. Since I learnt it form my Taiwanese grandma, so I will make it the way she made it.

Ingredients (for 2 persons)

1. 3 eggs

2. minced pork (quantity to your own preference)

3. spring onion (thinly chopped)

4. soya sauce

5. seseam oil

6. white or black pepper for seasoning

7. Water (the measurment of egg to water is: 1:2 or 1:1.5)

Method:

(Minced pork)

1. Stir fried the minced pork with soya sauce and seseam oil until cooked, then put it aside.

2. Break the eggs into another glass or heat proof bowl.

3. Add about 5 small cups of water to the egg mixture, I used the egg shell as the measurment, so I know exactl quantity of water I need.

4. add the minced pork mixture and chopped sping onion.

5. Add the white pepper ( you can always add salt or japanese dashi to add more flavour)

6. Wrape the top of the glass bowl with cling film, this is to avoid creating holes on top of the steam egg surface.

7. Finally, just steam in for about 20-30 mins.
