<p>Tadaaaaaa! I finally started looking into chinese cuisine! For real!</p>
<p>After a start with this great site I told you <a title="Pork &amp; Peanut Butter Congee" href="http://myredkitchen.com/2012/02/17/pork-peanut-butter-congee/">about</a>, I invested in a wonderful <a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Easy-Chinese-Recipes-Family-Favorites/dp/0804841470/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1333858197&amp;sr=8-1">book</a>, which put typical recipes at my reach.</p>
<p>One of my first attempts was a half-dozen tea leaf eggs. It&#8217;s a common snack here, absolutely delicious, and it&#8217;s a nice change from the classic hard-boiled eggs.</p>
<p>The appearance may seem strange to Western eyes: I had a hard time getting a few sceptical friends visiting me in Shanghai to give them a try <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But there are only good things in it! Tea leaf eggs are about hard-boiled eggs with a slightly cracked shell marinated in a mixture of water, soy sauce, sugar and spices.</p>
<address><em>For 6 eggs</em></address>
<address><em>(This recipe is a hybrid between my book&#8217;s recipe and a recipe given by a Chinese friend).</em></address>
<address><em>6 eggs</em></address>
<address><em>For the marinade:</em></address>
<address><em>1 liter of water</em><br />
<em> 8-10 tablespoons of soy sauce (I use a light soy sauce, with less salt)</em></address>
<address><em>Pepper</em></address>
<address><em>Powdered sugar</em></address>
<address><em>Cinnamon (in sticks is better &#8211; but I always add a little ground cinnamon anyway)</em></address>
<address><em>Star anise</em></address>
<address><em>3-4 handfuls of black tea leaves (optional &#8211; actually, you can make tea leaf eggs without tea leaves &#8211; and it tastes just as good! If you do put tea leaves in however, try to go for black tea instead of green tea which is a bit more sour. Oh and I often just cut up tea bags because I rarely have tea leaves at hand <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  I also sometimes put a couple of rosebuds or other tea-flowers in the marinade when the cooking is done, but even though I like to think the contrary, I&#8217;m pretty sure the taste difference is minimal <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  )</em></address>
<address><em>1 orange peel (optional)</em></address>
<address><em>Cloves (optional)</em></address>
<address><em>Nutmeg (optional)</em></address>
<p><a href="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/P1030413.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-554" title="Tea Leaf Eggs 2" src="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/P1030413.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a><br />
Cook the eggs for 10 minutes of hard-boiled eggs.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, prepare the marinade:</p>
<p>In a large pot (all eggs must be able to hold in it side by side), boil the water with the soy sauce.</p>
<p>Then add all ingredients and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally.</p>
<p>(The marinade is really a matter of taste: I like mine to be more sweet, but some like a more salty version. The best way is to taste it and adjust the quantities of sugar/spices/soy sauce)</p>
<p>Once your eggs are boiled, rinse them with cold water. With the back of a teaspoon, gently tap the shell to crack it all over before dipping the eggs into the marinade. (This is what will give them their &laquo;&nbsp;marbled&nbsp;&raquo; look).</p>
<p>Cook the eggs in the marinade on low heat for about fifteen minutes.</p>
<p>You can obviously eat the eggs right after, but it is best to let them marinate overnight so the spices really impregnate the eggs.</p>
<p>Shell the eggs some 10 minutes before serving if you can &#8211; the marbled effect becomes more pronounced when the egg is in contact with air.<br />

<p>So tempting, or not at all? :)</p>

<p>Tadaaaaaa! Ca y est, je m&#8217;y suis mise! Pour de vrai!</p>
<p>Apres un début avec ce super site dont je vous <a title="Congee au porc &amp; beurre de cacahuètes" href="http://myredkitchen.com/2012/02/17/congee-au-porc-beurre-de-cacahuetes/">avais parlé</a>, j&#8217;ai investi dans un <a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Easy-Chinese-Recipes-Family-Favorites/dp/0804841470/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1333858197&amp;sr=8-1">bouquin</a> génial, qui a mis un tout plein de recettes typiques à ma portée.</p>
<p>Une de mes premières tentatives a été une demi-douzaine d&#8217;oeufs au thé noir. C&#8217;est un snack plus que commun ici, c&#8217;est délicieux, et ça change des oeufs durs classiques.</p>
<p>L&#8217;aspect peut paraître étrange à l&#8217;oeil occidental: j&#8217;ai eu du mal à le faire tester à quelques amis récalcitrants de passage à Shanghai <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Il n&#8217;y a pourtant que des bonnes choses dedans! Il s&#8217;agit d&#8217;oeufs durs dont on a craquelé la coquille avant de les mettre à mariner dans un mélange d&#8217;eau, de sauce soja de sucre et d&#8217;épices variées.</p>
<address><em>Pour 6 oeufs:</em></address>
<address><em>(recette hybride entre celle de mon livre et une recette donnée par une amie chinoise: je les préfère légèrement sucrés).</em></address>
<address><em>6 oeufs</em></address>
<address><em>Pour la marinade:</em></address>
<address><em>1 litre d&#8217;eau</em></address>
<address><em>8-10 cuillères à soupe de sauce soja (j&#8217;utilise une version allégée en sel)</em></address>
<address><em>Poivre</em></address>
<address><em>Sucre en poudre</em></address>
<address><em>Cannelle (en bâtons c&#8217;est mieux &#8211; mais je rajoute toujours un peu de cannelle en poudre)</em></address>
<address><em>Anis étoilé</em></address>
<address><em>3-4 poignées de feuilles de thé (optionnel &#8211; en fait, on peut très bien faire des oeufs au thé noir sans thé, et c&#8217;est tout aussi bon! Si vous choisissez de mettre du thé par contre, préférez le thé noir au thé vert, qui est plus amer.  Ah, et comme j&#8217;ai rarement des feuilles de thé à disposition, il m&#8217;arrive aussi de découper des sachets de thé <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Sinon il m&#8217;arrive de mettre des bourgeons de rose ou autres fleurs à thé dans la marinade après la cuisson, pendant la période de marinade; même si j&#8217;aime à penser le contraire, je dois avouer que la différence est minimale au niveau du goût <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</em></address>
<address><em>Ecorce d&#8217;orange (optionnel)</em></address>
<address><em>Clous de girofle (optionnel)</em></address>
<address><em>Noix de muscade (optionnel)</em></address>
<p><a href="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/P1030413.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-554" title="Tea Leaf Eggs 2" src="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/P1030413.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>Faire cuire les oeufs 10 minutes pour obtenir des oeufs durs.</p>
<p>Pendant ce temps, préparer la marinade:</p>
<p>Dans une grande casserole (tous les oeufs doivent pouvoir y tenir à plat), faire bouillir l&#8217;eau avec la sauce soja.</p>
<p>Ajouter ensuite l&#8217;ensemble des ingrédients et continuer la cuisson à feu moyen en remuant de temps en temps.</p>
<p>(La marinade est une véritable affaire de goût. Je préfère la version plus sucrée mais d&#8217;autres la préfèreront plus salée. La meilleure chose à faire est de goûter et d&#8217;ajuster les quantités de sucre/épices/sauce soja)</p>
<p>Une fois les oeufs cuits, rincez les à l&#8217;eau froide. Avec le dos d&#8217;une petite cuillère, tapotez la coquille pour la craqueler de partout avant de plonger l&#8217;oeuf dans la marinade. (C&#8217;est ce qui donnera à l&#8217;oeuf son aspect marbré).</p>
<p>Faites cuire les oeufs dans la marinade à feu doux une quinzaine de minutes.</p>
<p>Vous pouvez évidemment manger les oeufs tout de suite après, mais le mieux est de les laisser mariner pour qu&#8217;ils s&#8217;impregnent des épices.</p>
<p>Décortiquez les oeufs un peu avant de les servir &#8211; les marbrures s&#8217;accentuent au contact de l&#8217;air.</p>

<p>Alors, tentant, ou pas du tout? <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Well kids, this article could have been entitled &nbsp;&raquo;I put the water to boil!&nbsp;&raquo; if Christine and her wonderful <a href="http://en.christinesrecipes.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> hadn&#8217;t come to my rescue!</p>
<p>(I actually really started an article with such a title : in the month I&#8217;ve been here already, I seldom cooked, or when I did, it really wasn&#8217;t anything I wanted to talk about. For a while, I was afraid I might have lost my &laquo;&nbsp;Kitchen modjo&nbsp;&raquo;).</p>
<p>I started with something simple: this is a traditional recipe in Asia, typically served for breakfast, or to the sick. Well, I don&#8217;t fulfill either of these criteria, but it is cold here (although less than in Europe!) And I had to start with something!</p>

<p>I made two changes to the <a href="http://en.christinesrecipes.com/2012/01/beef-mince-congee-beef-rice-porridge.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+easychineserecipes+%28Christine%27s+Recipes%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher" target="_blank">original recipe</a>: I used minced pork (easier to find in my local supermarket than beef), and during the preparation of the meat, I added peanut butter to the mix: I think it gave a little more taste, and a very pleasant texture. In addition, I loved how it enhanced the taste of the peanuts.</p>
<p>Oh and also, some remarks from the congee &laquo;&nbsp;Pro&nbsp;&raquo; that I am now: never leave the pot alone too long when it&#8217;s boiling (who spoke about anything burning? I deny any implication whatsoevere!), and add at least 4 times more water than what is indicated: personally, I like the congee to be quite diluted, but it has a strong tendency to quickly become very compact. Put a good spoonful into a pot, add water, heat it up, and voila!</p>

<p>So, ever tried congee? How do you like it?</p>

<p><a href="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/P1030219.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-540" title="P&amp;PB Congee 1" src="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/P1030219.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>Eh bien les enfants, cet article aurait bien pu s&#8217;intituler &laquo;&nbsp;C&#8217;est moi qui ai fait chauffer l&#8217;eau!&nbsp;&raquo; si Christine et son superbe <a href="http://en.christinesrecipes.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> n&#8217;étaient pas venus à ma rescousse!</p>
<p>(En fait, sérieusement, j&#8217;ai vraiment commencé un article avec ce titre : en un mois ici, j&#8217;ai très peu cuisiné, ou le peu de fois où j&#8217;ai essayé, ça s&#8217;est avéré être râté. J&#8217;ai eu un temps l&#8217;impression d&#8217;avoir perdu mon &laquo;&nbsp;modjo&nbsp;&raquo; de la cuisine).</p>
<p>J&#8217;ai commencé simple, avec cette recette traditionnelle en Asie, typiquement servie pour le petit déjeuner, ou aux convalescents. Bon, je ne remplis aucun de ces deux critères, mais il fait froid ici (quoique moins qu&#8217;en Europe!) et il fallait bien que je commence par quelque chose!</p>
<p><a href="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/P1030214.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-539" title="P&amp;PB Congee 2" src="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/P1030214.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>J&#8217;ai fait deux modifications par rapport à la <a href="http://en.christinesrecipes.com/2012/01/beef-mince-congee-beef-rice-porridge.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+easychineserecipes+%28Christine%27s+Recipes%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher" target="_blank">recette originale</a> : j&#8217;ai utilisé de la viande de porc hachée (plus simple à trouver dans mon supermarché local que la viande de boeuf), et au moment de la préparation avec la viande, j&#8217;ai ajouté du beurre de cacahuètes au mélange : je trouve que ça donnait un petit goût en plus, et une texture très agréable. En plus, ça relevait bien le goût des cacahuètes.</p>
<p>Ah et aussi, quelques remarques de la &laquo;&nbsp;Pro&nbsp;&raquo; du congee que je suis désormais : ne jamais laisser la casserole trop toute seule (qui a parlé de faire brûler quoi que ce soit? Je nie tout en bloc!), et rajouter 4 fois plus d&#8217;eau que ce qui est indiqué : personnellement, j&#8217;aime bien le congee vraiment bien dilué; or celui ci a une tres forte tendance à devenir vite très compact. Mais on met une bonne cuillère dans une casserole, on rajoute de l&#8217;eau, on fait chauffer et le tour est joué!</p>

<p>Alors, le congee, vous connaissez? Vous l&#8217;aimez comment?</p>

<p>Ok, so, this is definitively not the most chinese way to start my life in <a title="May the Year of the Dragon bring you prosperity!" href="http://myredkitchen.com/2012/01/23/may-the-year-of-the-dragon-bring-you-prosperity/" target="_blank">Shanghai</a> :p</p>
<p>Actually, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_New_Year" target="_blank">Chinese New Year</a> is a big BIG deal here. It&#8217;s way bigger than our Christmas holidays (and less commercial too). Everyone goes back to their families during that time &#8211; Shanghai basically emptied out. And everything closes down for about a week.</p>
<p>My internship tutors were absolutely lovely and invited me over to their home last tuesday to celebrate this new year with them and their family around a traditional meal of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiaozi" target="_blank">jiao zi</a>.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t want to arrive empty handed, and thought making something myself would prove a more thoughtful gift than just going to the store to buy something (and they were all closed anyway!).</p>
<p><a href="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/P1030016.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-525" title="M&amp;M Cookies 2" src="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/P1030016.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>I somehow got obsessed with making M&amp;M cookies &#8230; so here they are!</p>
<p>I used this <a href="http://www.atelierdeschefs.fr/fr/recette/11236-cookies-aux-m&amp;m-s.php" target="_blank">recipe</a> &#8211; I&#8217;ll probably cut the sugar doses by half next time though, they might have been too sweet!</p>
<p>Oh and talking about l&#8217;Atelier des Chefs, I have a pre-departure post lined up about that too! <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Bon, ce n&#8217;est certainement pas la façon la plus chinoise de débuter ma vie à <a title="Que l’année du Dragon vous soit prospère !!" href="http://myredkitchen.com/2012/01/23/que-lannee-du-dragon-vous-soit-prospere/">Shanghai</a> :p</p>
<p>En fait, le <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nouvel_An_chinois" target="_blank">Nouvel An Chinois</a>, c&#8217;est énorme ici. Vraiment énorme. Bien plus que notre Noël à nous (et beaucoup moins commercial aussi). Tout le monde rentre voir sa famille pendant cette période &#8211; Shanghai s&#8217;est littéralement vidée. Et pratiquement tout est fermé pendant une semaine entière.</p>
<p>Mes maîtres de stage ont été absolument adorables, et m&#8217;ont invité chez eux mardi dernier pour célébrer cette nouvelle année avec eux et leur famille, autour d&#8217;un repas traditionnel, constitué principalement de <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiaozi" target="_blank">jiao zi</a>.</p>
<p>Je ne voulais pas arriver sans rien, et j&#8217;ai pensé que faire quelque chose moi même serait un cadeau plus personnel que si j&#8217;allais juste acheter quelque chose dans un magasin (qui de toute façon, étaient fermés!)</p>

<p>Je ne sais pas exactement comment, mais je suis devenue obsédée par l&#8217;idée de faire des cookies aux M&amp;Ms &#8230; les voici donc!</p>
<p>Voici la <a href="http://www.atelierdeschefs.fr/fr/recette/11236-cookies-aux-m&amp;m-s.php" target="_blank">recette</a> que j&#8217;ai suivie &#8211; la prochaine fois, je pense que je diviserai les quantités de sucre par deux, ils étaient très sucrés!</p>
<p>Ah, et en parlant de l&#8217;Atelier des Chefs, j&#8217;ai un post pré-départ prévu à propos de ça! <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>I wish you all a wonderful Year of the Dragon!!</p>
<p>What? Now what&#8217;s wrong with her? She&#8217;s disappeared from the blogosphere since the end of the year festivities, and here she comes back, completely out of it, almost a month after New Year and wishes us a great Year of the Dragon?? What in the world is going on? <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>My dear friends of the culinary blogosphere, I am coming back to you for this new year (2012, of the Dragon, all in all, it doesn&#8217;t really matter) live from Shanghai!!!</p>
<p>Yups, Shanghai, China, you got me right <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/P1020959.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-508" title="Shanghai 1" src="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/P1020959.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>I won&#8217;t get into detail about all that has happened to me since mid-december 2011, for that&#8217;s not the purpose of this blog. But just to give you a bit of context, I passed an exam that was extremely important to me, and for which I spent an entire summer and autumn literally glued to my desk chair. (It is also during this same autumn that this blog was born &#8211; cooking proved to be an incredible stress reliever at a time where I was seriously starting to go nuts :p)</p>
<p>Following those excellent news, it all went pretty fast for me : the enrollment protocol, choosing between different options, and most of all, choosing my first mandatory internship.</p>
<p>China has always been a passion of mine, and it&#8217;s not my first time in the Middle Kingdom. But never have I come with the intention of setting my bags down for 6 months to work there. It&#8217;s a totally new side of this magnificent city that I am getting ready to discover.</p>
<p><a href="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/P1020964.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-509" title="Shanghai 2" src="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/P1020964.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>I have since moved into a great internationally shared flat, 2 minutes away from the very well known &laquo;&nbsp;People&#8217;s Square&nbsp;&raquo;, my internship is starting out wonderfully &#8230; and I have a new kitchen.</p>
<p>MyRedKitchen has temporarily relocated : the kitchen cupboards aren&#8217;t red anymore, the hotplates aren&#8217;t induction anymore but gaz, the fridge is smaller, and shared by three persons, each with tastes and culinary habits from very different horizons, I don&#8217;t have my cute plates anymore, but most importantly : there&#8217;s no oven!</p>
<p><a href="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/P1020968.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-510" title="MRK Chinese Kitchen" src="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/P1020968.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>Well, there wasn&#8217;t any stove, for one of my first buys was a teeny tiny electric stove (not even 20 bucks &#8230; who can beat that?!). It must be said that asian kitchens aren&#8217;t really equiped for stoves : it&#8217;s not a very popular cooking method here.</p>
<p>Anyway, all this to tell you that I am still here, and that I very much intend to let you know all about my asian adventures for the next 6 months!</p>
<p>Xin Nian Kuai Le!</p>
<p>And I&#8217;ll see you all very soon <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Bonne année du Dragon à toutes et à tous!!</p>
<p>Mais qu&#8217;est ce qui lui prend? Elle délaisse son blog depuis les fêtes de 2011, et la voilà qui renvient, complètement déphasée, avec presque un mois de retard sur la nouvelle année, en nous souhaitant une excellente année du Dragon?? Mais qu&#8217;est ce qui se passe? <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Mes chers compatriotes de la blogosphère culinaire, je vous reviens en cette nouvelle année (2012, du Dragon, finalement peu importe) en direct de Shanghai!!!</p>
<p>Oui oui, Shanghai en Chine, c&#8217;est bien ça <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/P1020959.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-508" title="Shanghai 1" src="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/P1020959.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>Je ne vais pas ici m&#8217;épancher sur tout ce qui m&#8217;est arrivé depuis mi-décembre 2011, ce n&#8217;est pas le propos de ce blog. Mais juste pour vous donner le contexte, j&#8217;ai réussi en décembre 2011 un examen qui me tenait énormément à coeur, et pour lequel j&#8217;ai passé un été et un automne entier vissée à ma chaise de bureau. (C&#8217;est d&#8217;ailleurs ce même automne que ce blog est né &#8211; la cuisine a été un formidable éxutoire à un moment où j&#8217;ai sérieusement commencer à péter un cable :p)</p>
<p>Donc après cette excellente nouvelle, tout s&#8217;est très vite enchaîné pour moi : les inscriptions, le choix des options, et surtout, le choix de mon premier stage obligatoire.</p>
<p>La Chine a toujours été une passion, et je n&#8217;en suis pas à mon premier voyage à l&#8217;Empire du Milieu. Mais je n&#8217;y suis jamais arrivée avec l&#8217;intention d&#8217;y poser ma valise pendant 6 mois et d&#8217;y travailler. C&#8217;est donc une toute nouvelle face de cette magnifique ville que je m’apprête à découvrir.</p>
<p><a href="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/P1020964.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-509" title="Shanghai 2" src="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/P1020964.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>Je suis depuis peu installée dans une chouette colocation internationale à deux pas de la place très connue &laquo;&nbsp;People&#8217;s Square&nbsp;&raquo;, mon stage se passe merveilleusement bien &#8230; et j&#8217;ai une nouvelle cuisine.</p>
<p>MyRedKitchen a donc provisoirement déménagé : les meubles de la cuisine ne sont plus rouges, les plaques ne sont plus à induction mais au gaz, le frigo est plus petit et partagé entre 3 personnes aux goûts et habitudes culinaires d&#8217;horizons très variés, je n&#8217;ai plus mes jolies assiettes, mais surtout : il n&#8217;y a pas de four!</p>
<p><a href="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/P1020968.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-510" title="MRK Chinese Kitchen" src="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/P1020968.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>Enfin, il n&#8217;y avait plus de four, car un de mes premiers achats a été un micro four électrique (à 20euros &#8230; qui dit mieux!). Il faut dire que les cuisines asiatiques ne sont pas équipées et prévues pour accueillir un four : c&#8217;est un mode de cuisson qui n&#8217;est pas très usité par ici.</p>
<p>Bref, tout ça pour vous dire que je suis toujours là, et que j&#8217;ai bien l&#8217;intention de vous tenir au courant de mes aventures asiatiques pendant les 6 prochains mois!</p>
<p>Xin Nian Kuai Le!</p>
<p>Et à très bientôt <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>For my part, I had a wonderful Christmas with my family, was very much spoiled, and I also discovered the joy of cut-out circles used for a better presentation of the food (yes, I&#8217;m a little late &#8230; but there is no age to make discoveries that change your life!)</p>
<p>The highlight of this meal was, at least in my case that <a href="http://www.calameo.com/read/0005524571d8b5273bc7f">apple tatin with foie gras</a> that I <a title="Happy Holidays!!" href="http://myredkitchen.com/2011/12/24/happy-holidays/">mentioned</a> previously. A revelation! Amazingly simple, for a WoW result, for the presentation of the dish as well as its taste!</p>
<p><a href="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/P1020411.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-494" title="Tatin de pommes au foie gras" src="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/P1020411.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a>Everyone was delighted with this entrée &#8211; and I think that apples might actually go better with foie gras than figs do !</p>
<p>For the main course, there was no real kitchen disaster, but a tight schedule, and a large surplus of sweet potato cream(which was part of the <a title="Happy Holidays!!" href="http://myredkitchen.com/2011/12/24/happy-holidays/">entrée for the Christmas eve dinner</a> &#8211; I must see if I can get photos of that dinner by the way, I had forgotten the camera for the 24th). So I replaced the butternut with the sweet potato cream, added a couple eggs and some cream cheese. The pie doesn&#8217;t appear on the picture because it was cut and distributed at the table (and let&#8217;s be honest, it would have been too crowded on the plate for the picture :p) To see what it looks like, I can refer you to the pictures I took of my very first <a title="The Gourmandiseuse’s Butternut Cheesecake recipe" href="http://myredkitchen.com/2011/11/03/the-gourmandiseuses-butternut-cheesecake-recipe/">butternut cheesecake</a>, which is just a shade darker ! <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/P1020442.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-495" title="Chapon de Noël et sa farce maison" src="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/P1020442.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a>For the turkey stuffing it&#8217;s an approximative recipe of my moms, so I have no particular proportion of ingredients to give you. I just know she mixed boudin blanc, sausage, eggs, a little bit of port (I poured some over the turkey afterwards &#8211; a drunk turkey always has  tender flesh I find :p) parsley, Granny Smith apple and yogurt. She prepares it the night before and adds bread soaked in milk on the D-day, and mixes it all together one more time before putting the bird to cook.</p>
<p>With a little fig chutney to enhance the whole thing, it was absolutely perfect:)</p>
<p>The desserts will be for a future post!</p>
<p>So, what are your holiday food delights?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Merry Christmas tout le monde! J&#8217;espère que le Père Noël a rempli vos petits souliers de belles choses et que les assiettes elles étaient pleines de belles et bonnes choses!</p>
<p>En ce qui me concerne, j&#8217;ai passé un chouette Noël familial, j&#8217;ai été bien gâtée, et j&#8217;ai découvert le bonheur des cercles de présentation (oui, je suis un peu en retard &#8230; mais il n&#8217;y a pas d&#8217;âge pour faire des découvertes qui changent la vie!)</p>
<p>Le point d&#8217;orgue de ce repas a été l&#8217;entrée en ce qui me concerne : cette <a href="http://www.calameo.com/read/0005524571d8b5273bc7f">tatin de pommes au foie gras</a> dont je vous <a title="Bonnes fêtes!!" href="http://myredkitchen.com/2011/12/24/bonnes-fetes/">parlais</a> a été une révélation! D&#8217;une simplicité déconcertante, pour un résultat tout à fait WoW, niveau goût comme présentation!</p>
<p><a href="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/P1020411.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-494" title="Tatin de pommes au foie gras" src="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/P1020411.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a>Tout le monde était ravi de cette entrée &#8211; finalement, je crois que les pommes vont détrôner les figues en tant qu&#8217;accompagnement de foie gras!</p>
<p>Pour le plat, pas vraiment de catastrophe de cuisine, mais un timing serré, et un gros surplus de crème de patate douce (qui faisait partie de l&#8217;<a title="Bonnes fêtes!!" href="http://myredkitchen.com/2011/12/24/bonnes-fetes/">entrée du réveillon</a> &#8211; il faut que je vois si je peux récupérer des photos potables de ce qu&#8217;a donné ce plat d&#8217;ailleurs, j&#8217;avais remisé l&#8217;appareil photo au placard le 24). J&#8217;ai donc remplacé le butternut par la crème de patate douce, en rajoutant quelques oeufs, et du philadelphia. La tarte n&#8217;apparait pas sur la photo du plat car elle a été découpée et distribuée une fois tout le monde à table (et soyons honnêtes, ça aurait fait trop chargé sur l&#8217;assiette pour la photo :p) Pour voir ce que ça donne, je vous renvoie aux photos de ma toute première <a title="Tarte à la Butternut de la Gourmandiseuse" href="http://myredkitchen.com/2011/11/03/tarte-a-la-butternut-de-la-gourmandiseuse/">tarte au butternut</a> qui est à peine une teinte plus foncée! <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/P1020442.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-495" title="Chapon de Noël et sa farce maison" src="http://myredkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/P1020442.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>Pour la farce du chapon, c&#8217;est une recette &laquo;&nbsp;au feeling&nbsp;&raquo; de ma maman, donc je n&#8217;ai aucune proportion particulière d&#8217;ingrédients à vous donner. Je sais juste qu&#8217;elle a mixé des boudins blancs, de la chair à saucisse, des oeufs, un peu de porto (j&#8217;en ai arrosé le chapon après &#8211; le chapon bourré au porto a toujours une chair plus tendre :p) du persil plat, de la pomme granny smith et des petits suisses. Elle la prépare la veille, et rajoute du pain trempé dans du lait en repassant le tout au mixer avant d&#8217;enfourner à la cuisson le jour J.</p>
<p>Avec un peu de chutney de figues pour réhausser le tout, c&#8217;était absolument parfait <img src='http://myredkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
