Dumpling Dipping Sauce Recipe

Hungry again, I looked for something to eat in the refrigerator. I saw a pack of bread seasoned with sugar and something. I always like to make something ordinary, extra ordinary. So i decided to make a dip. Sadly, there wasn't anything i can make from the ingredients available, so I just made a simple and quick to make dip. Tomato sauce and mayonnaise dip. That's it! Next time though, I'd like to make other kinds of dips. So I searched the web and here are few recipes I found. 

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:

    3 tablespoons light soy sauce
    3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
    3 tablespoons red rice vinegar or red wine vinegar
    1 teaspoon hot chili oil
    1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar, or to taste
    1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
    1 teaspoon minced ginger

Preparation:
Combine all the ingredients. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 1 hour to give the flavors a chance to blend.

Fried Kangkong (water spinach)


One simple and healthy side dish got my taste buds salivating for more. The first time my parents and I went to ESCAS restaurant we ordered this simple "fried kangkong". Kangkong is a (tagalog word, I think it's also used as English term) leafy vegetable. I liked it so much not only because it's healthy, easy to prepare but also it's exquisite taste. As i ate it, I studied how it's made. And here what I've come up with. I also tried cooking it myself. I added few touches. You can also try to add your own touches.

Ingredients

200 grams of kangkong
2 eggs
1/2 cup of cornstarch
1/2 cup of vegetable oil

Salmon Fillet With Citrus and Thyme

I'd like to try this really simple dish.



Ingredients

* 1 3-pound piece skinless salmon fillet
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* kosher salt and pepper
* 1 orange, thinly sliced
* 1 lemon, thinly sliced
* 12 sprigs fresh thyme

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375° F. Place the salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Drizzle the salmon with the oil and season with ¾ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Scatter the orange, lemon, and thyme around it.
3. Roast until the salmon is opaque throughout, 20 to 25 minutes.
4. Using 2 large spatulas, carefully transfer the salmon to a platter and scatter the orange, lemon, and thyme on top of it.
