Anatomy of a Chinese Sandwich

A delicious Chinese bakery sandwich, remade in my kitchen! I found that this kind of triangular, crustless sandwich originated from England, but now adapted to the Oriental audience. I used to get these packaged from my local Beijing bakery during summers when I would visit my grandparents. This sandwich is super nutritious and filling! You can literally package them in plastic wrap and take it anywhere for on the go.

You can, of course, substitute whatever you prefer instead of the eggs, cheese, and bologna in my sandwich. If you really want to get legitimate Chinese flavor, try adding pork floss (肉鬆), which is a delicious dried pork product. It's delicious!

Food Diary #2

Shrimp meal, courtesy of mom: rice cooked with tomatos, scrambled eggs, salt, and peeled shrimp! So delicious.

 For lunch, recently I've been really into sliced avocados dipped in soy sauce and eaten with rice. have any idea why?? It's because it tastes just like a simplified sushi roll. Also avocados are very healthy - it's good for people who want sleek hair. In addition, it is filling without any bad fat added to your diet.

Another mother's creation: onion and (organic) beef dish paired with rice and avocado

Food Diary #1

- My Breakfast -  

Homemade peach pie filling (see upcoming post!!), a dollop of sour cream, and a toasted bagel - SO EASY BUT FILLING, anyone can make it :D

 - My Lunch - 

Omelet with ketchup, fried rice (rice, soysauce, salt, celery slices, lemon juice for flavor)

 - Dinner -

usually will be a detox juice or smoothie like the one I made here. If I get really hungry (which is 90% of the time -_-... I'll eat a toasted bagel sandwiched with cream cheese)

What are some foods you'd eat on a diet?

Zettai Kareshi Pastries

I filled each pastry with matcha custard and topped a dollop of cream and strawberry slices. The end result was pretty darn good. Thanks Jdrama, Zettai Kareshi for inspiring this creation!

Recipe for the Cream Puffs here

To make the Green tea custard filling that I substituted for the regular whipped cream, just make custard filling as usual and add 2 teaspoons of matcha green tea powder (which you can find at your local Japanese grocery).
