Try. Try. Try.

Trying new recipes is something I enjoy doing these days when I get home from work. Both hubby and I lost a few pounds from our weekday light/healthy/no-carb eating style. That makes me happy.

Tonight's menu: 波菜香菇魚丸湯 Spinach fish ball soup, 烤魚 baked Cajun catfish fillets, & 百花鑲香菇 stuffed mushrooms.

My first time making the stuffed mushrooms with shrimps. It always takes some time to chop the ingredients for something fancy.

百花鑲香菇
8朵香菇 (我用的是乾的香菇, 要先泡水讓香菇變軟)
蝦仁(大約6隻蝦), 洗淨, 把蝦腸拿掉, 切碎
荸薺/馬蹄/water chestnuts 3-4個, 切碎
一點青豆和紅羅蔔

調味:米酒2匙, 麻油1匙, 太白粉1匙, 些許鹽和胡椒
將材料調味好, 在香菇內部塗上太白粉, 把蝦餡鋪在香菇上
放入蒸籠蒸約10分鐘

(找到的食譜有醬汁, 不過這次我沒做, 沒醬汁也是ok的)
醬汁:高湯1杯煮滾, 加少許鹽, 加入太白粉水, 加香油
將醬汁澆在蒸好的香菇上
波菜香菇魚丸湯
將一把波菜洗乾淨, 切段
把一鍋水(加一些雞湯)煮滾
將魚丸放入, 煮滾再放入波菜(保持波菜的新鮮度)
最後加點鹽調味即可

烤魚
這次用的是catfish fillets, 已經調好味的Cajun口味(超市都有賣)
放入烤箱400度, 每面烤10分鐘
catfish的肉質比較有嚼勁, 我還蠻喜歡的
