Korean sweet glutenous rice

I saw this like while i was watching family outing, and its seriously similar to the teriyaki beef's marinade recipe.

So the ingredients are:

1) Soy sauce (kicap).

2) Brown sugar (gula merah)

3) Cinnamon powder (serbuk kayu manis)

4) Garlic (bawang putih)

5) Dried chili (cili kering)

Steps:

1) Half cup of soy sauce + 1/3 cup of brown sugar + 1 spoon of cinnamon powern + 3 piece (ulas) of mashed garlic, all in a bowl.

2) Set 2 cups off rice in a rice cooker, and do as u usually do.

3) Remove like 1/3 of the water in the rice cooker then, pour the mixture from the bowl into the rice cooker.

4) Cut 2 piece of dried chili into small bits the spread it into the rice cooker.

5) Then start letting it to cook, like for every 8minutes stirr the rice, do that until the rice is cooked.

Wallah, Korean sweet glutenous rice.. :)

Sichuan Crawfish/Crayfish/Crawdad Recipe (麻辣小龙虾)

(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!)

I have never cooked crawfish at home. I have to confess that these little feisty and fierce some creatures almost had me surrender and call for rescue. Handling these crawdads and crawmoms ain’t no piece of cake. I totally underestimated them. However, at the first bite of their juicy tails and heads, I felt all my hardwork and efforts were completely justified. Put simply, they were simply irresistible!

During my last trip to Beijing, I tried–for the very first time–the famed Ma La Xiao Long Xia/麻辣小龙虾 or Sichuan numbing (named so because of the tingly numbing effect of Sichuan peppercorns) and spicy crawfish. Known locally as small lobsters, crawfish is a must-have during summer months. Commonly enjoyed with beer, crawfish is Chinese people’s (especially Beijingers) guilty pleasure. Guilty because there are numerous health warnings to avoid this delicacy, mostly due to the highly-polluted habitat that these creatures are harvested. But never mind the mercury and toxic, once you have the first taste, there is no turning back. They are highly addictive and toooooooo good…

So, when I drove past highway 22 and saw a sign with the words “LIVE CRAWFISH FOR SALE,” I went immediately insane. I just had to have crawfish. I needed my fix. I followed the sign and found a gem–a seafood store that offers everything I love, much fresher–and cheaper–than any regular Asian food stores.

Note: Crawfish season starts in October, and that’s when you can get some jumbo size big fat ones.
