Chinese two ways


Sometimes Scott is annoyingly indecisive.  We decided to cook Chinese tonight, with ground beef.  He said he doesn't want pasta like we usually do, just meat and veggies.  I said o.k I'm making myself rice (which he doesn't like).  Five minutes later he decided he wanted gluten free pasta.  So here it is Chinese fried rice and/or pasta, I call it, Chinese two ways.

Chinese two ways

Ingredients

1 tablespoon                       oil
1 1/2 lbs.                               ground beef
5                                             diced carrots 
1 1/2 cups                             diced string beans
3 cloves                                 garlic
A bunch                                chives
1/4  cup or more                  soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon                         fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon                         ginger 
1/2 teaspoon                         five spices
A zigzag                                 siracha
1 teaspoon                            sesame seed oil
2 cups                                    cooked rice
6 oz.                                       pasta

Directions

I Cooked ground beef in hot oil on medium high heat.  When it was well done  I added half of the spices, garlic and chives.  I Cooked 30 seconds and removed from the pan. I put the fat in my rice.

I Added some oil and cooked the carrots 5 minutes, added string beans and cooked 5 more minutes.  I Added the remain spices, chives, garlic, soy sauce, fish oil, sesame seed oil and siracha. 

I Combined the meat with the veggies, then  divided the mixture between pasta and rice.

We cooked à la Scott and à la Claudie, cook together à la you and bon appétit!

I topped mine with sprouted lentil.

Grandma's bread, made with milk

I'm making bread this morning.  Yesterday I asked aunt Jacinthe to give me Grandma's recipe and she took a picture of it.  I love to see grandma's hand writing and the way it is redacted.  I wonder if she wrote down her mom's instructions.  It doesn"t seem to be  from a book.  I'll have to ask around. I found yeast in the pantry with a 2017 expiration date.  I thought I would steep it in water with sugar and see if it still good or not.  After 10 minutes I was not sure so I thought I would take a picture and asked my aunt if she thinks it's ok.  By the time I got my phone I could see that it was good.  Lesson learned: don't toss your yeast before trying it out.
