Honey Lemon Salmon!

My mother, like most cooks, was the source of primary teaching and inspirations for me, and this recipe was from her. It captures her style of simplicity quite well.

Ingredients:
Salmon fillet
honey
fresh lemon juice
scallion (chopped)
soy sauce
sugar

Procedure:
1. Mix all ingredients (except salmon) together. Let the honey and lemon be the stars of the recipe! Go light on everything else.
2. Marinade salmon.
3. Sear (30 sec each side) and bake for a few minutes under high heat.

Could NOT be simpler. Thanks mom!

Stir Fry Kidney!

Now, don't be put off by the ingredient, give it a try first!

Ingredients:
Pork kidney
onion
scallion
salt and pepper
soy sauce
sugar

Procedure:
1. wash kidneys and split half down the side
2. cut around the white renal pelvis, you want everything that's not white (it's ok to waste some, kidney is cheap as hell)
3. cut into two inch strips and score (it will curl up as its cooked)
4. stir fry onion and scallion in oiled pan on HIGH heat
5. immediately add in chopped kidney, cook until colour turns dark
6. add soy sauce, S&P, and sugar! (a bit of sweetness balances the flavour of the kidney nicely)

This is incredibly simple (except the cutting part) and cheap. There are barely any seasoning used in this recipe because kidney is so packed full of flavour.

Enjoy!
