Pearl Beans & Old Cucumber Pork Ribs Soup 老黄瓜珍珠豆排骨汤 - 清热解暑，排毒补血

When I was a kid, whenever my mom cooked pearl beans soup, I'd eat up all the pearl beans. I simply love the tender and creamy taste of these beans. Now that I cooked pearl beans soup for my son, I never expect him to eat or even taste the beans because this little guy never like any beans at all. He just drink the soup and that's good enough because this soup is nutritious and nourishing. 

功效：
老黄瓜：补水，排毒，护肤，含有大量含的B族维生素和电解质，可补充重要营养素。

珍珠豆：含有维生素和丰富矿物质，高淀粉高蛋白质无脂肪的保健食品，具有健脾壮肾、增强食欲、抗风湿的作用，对肥胖症、高血压、冠心病、糖尿病、动脉硬化有食疗作用。

红枣：能促进白细胞的生成，降低血清胆固醇，提高血清白蛋白，保护肝脏，補血。

煲汤骨 : 蛋白质、铁、钠、鈣質。

Ingredients:

350g Pork Ribs/ Soup Bones

90g Pearl Beans

1 Dried Octopus

1 Old Cucumber (about 500g)

5 Seedless Red Dates

800ml Hot Water or until 1/3 full, just enough to cover all the ingredients)

Salt (add to taste, optional)

Method:

The method that I'm sharing in this blog post is using pressure cooker method. 

If you do not have a pressure cooker, you can use a conventional pot to cook this soup. Just bring all ingredients (except salt, add more water) to a boil, cook on high heat for 30 minutes, reduce heat to low, simmer for another 75 minutes. Add salt to taste, cook on low heat for 15 minutes.  

If cooking in a slow cooker or double boil, cook for 4 hours. 


1. Wash the pork ribs/ soup bones, immerse in hot boiling water for 5 minutes. Discard the water.

2. Put all ingredients (A) in the pressure cooker. I am using 4.5L WMF Perfect Pro pressure cooker.

3. Close with the cover and set the knob to 1.

4. Use medium heat until the cooking indicator rises to the 1st orange ring.

5. Reduce heat to low and let it cook for 30 minutes.

6. When the cooking is over, turn off the heat. Wait till the indicator (orange ring) go down or turn the knob to lock/unlock to release pressure. When there's no more pressure, open the cover.

7. Add (B) and some salt to taste. Repeat step 3 to 5, cook for 15 minutes. Continue with step 6.

8. Serve warm.

Chuck Chicken, The Kung Fu Chicken ~ Swiss Roll

Created on 8 August 2016

Another character from a Disney Channel series - Chuck Chicken, the Kung Fu chicken. Specially made this swiss roll for my 7yo son upon his request. 

What's in my mind? .....  Can I don't cut the cake? :D 

My son watch this show every weekdays after school. Sometimes I watched with him and find this show quite funny. This Chuck Chicken inherited a Golden Egg from his uncle Dan that gives him many amazing abilities that I couldn't name all of it, but I remembered 3. 

~ The Armadillo Shield that transform his feathers to an Armadillo-like amour

~ Speeding Cheetah that gives him the ability to run super fast 

~ Rhino-Punch that he used to punch and escape when he is trapped

This is the least likeliest super hero you'd ever meet! 


Making this into swiss roll isn't difficult at all. Well, that's because I have tried drawing Cheshire Cat and Randall Boggs in the past. Those were the two with more details. So when come to this, it's easy peasy!


Here's a video of my creation >>

Monster University ~ Randall Boggs Swiss Roll

Created on 19 July, 2016

Created on 19 July 2016

This was custom made for my 7yo son upon his request. Normally kids or adults who have watched Monster Inc or Monster University would like the characters like Mike or Sulley, but my son, he would never likes the main characters in the show. Just like when he watch Alice In Wonderland, he likes Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter and March Hare but not Alice. And that is why, I have to start venture in cake decorating because the cakes that he wants, I would never ever able to get from any bakeries.

Check out my Cheshire Cat food ideas here >>

Left - The bad Randall in Monster Inc
Right - The good Randall in Monster University

Created on 19 July 2016

In Monster Inc, Randall is greedy, ruthless, sneaky, short tempered, competitive and overall evil in action. But the Randall that my son likes, it's the Randall in Monster University. And, this was what I have made, the Randall that wear glasses. The Randall that was originally a kind, timid teenage monster. Oh yeah, my son likes him because he made cupcakes to share with friends :P 


Here's a video of my creation >>

The Cheshire Cat ~ Naked Cake

Created on 11 May 2016

This was a trial bake that I have attempted drawing on my cake. This was tedious and there's so much details on the Cheshire Cat that I have spent about 3 hours to complete, from drawing to baking. 

Happy with the result and my 7yo son was so happy to see his favourite character in Alice In Wonderland, The Cheshire on the cake. "Can you stand on your head?"  :D 

No cream/ filling/ frosting for this cake. I just love it naked this time! :P
