🌍🌏REPOLYONG MATULIS (POINTED CABBAGE) SPITZKRAUT IN GERMAN

👩‍🍳How healthy is pointed cabbage? In german “Spitzkraut” or in Tagalog “matulis na repolyo”. Healthy and low in calories. Since it contains a lot of fibre, it stimulates digestion. In addition, pointed cabbage contains a lot of so-called ascorbigen, which is converted into vitamin C during cooking. With only 20 kilocalories per 100 grams, it is also – like all types of cabbage – very low in calories. The reason why we love this type of cabbage here. Especially, my hubby, use add it in “Bulalo”, “Nilagang Karne” (Boiled Meat) or even in “sinigang na buto-buto” (Bones in sour soup). Me I love to make a salad out of it during summertime. Pointed cabbage is related to white cabbage but tastes much better. It owes its name to its shape the pointed cabbage grows pointed at the top. Today I added to glass noodle or Sotanghon mix with Udon noodle Japanese style.

I’m sure my fellow serious eaters have found themselves in a similar position before. But I cook their favorites, engaging our shared loved of the food itself with the act of preparing it. But every year I try to live adventurously and try something new. For them the most important is “Sotanghon Guisado” with shrimps should always there! This year it is with grill.

ABOUT

BIRTHDAY: FOOD SPEND FOR COLLEAGUES

For birthdays, it is common in my company that the birthday child brings a meal plus cake or dessert. As a celebration with colleagues.

SOTANGHON with SHRIMPS

Since they love my Sotanghon with chicken breast and shrimps, I always cook it for them about two and half kilo Sotanghon for fifteen people. Some of them tried to cook it at home I just gave them my personal recipe but everybody saying that it turned out not as good as mine. They would love to have it at work from me. 😉

LUMPIANG SHANGHAI

And not to forget the Lumping Shanghai and sometimes spring rolls. Most of the time they would ask me for spring rolls without ground meat. They also love my version pure vegetables in it. Like cabbage or pechay, carrots, mung bean sprouts (togue), potatoes, green beans and spring onions. I use to bring it alternately for option.

GUGLEHUPF

For cake this time my daughter baked a Guglehupf. It was her recipe for them to try.
We always have fun while eating and everybody are helping for setting the table everytime we have celebretion. Besides of celebration we also have our breakfast together whenever we have duty on Saturdays. Having fun and good time together while having our breakfast.

MAN AND FOOD-LIVING LIFESTYLE BY DORLLYMULTIPLY aka DOLLY!

Man does not live by bread alone. After a while, he needs a drink. Food comes first, then morals.

Not that I cooks badly, but there are continually any pygmies in my kitchen and dip their arrows in the soup. In wine there is truth!
We should leave life like a banquet, neither thirsty nor drunken. Said-Aristoteles 🙂 <<< The seasoning is hunger, hunger is the best sauce. There are diseases that can be cured by proper nutrition, I believe in this! Every woman is susceptible to good food. The men love those women most passionate, who understand how to prefix them the most delicious things. I am one of those women 😉

ABOUT, NOODLES, PASTA AND PIZZA, POULTRY, PURE VEGGIES, SEAFOODS AND VEGETABLES

SOUP, SUPPE, SABAW

When the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, a hot soup is just the thing to get back to get energy. During summer, light or cold soups are ideal. Whether sweet soup, vegetarian soup, soup with beef, poultry or pork. Here you will see and know how I cooked soup and let what ingredients combine well.

ASIAN SOUP

In Asia, soups are eaten any time of day! Take a little trip to the Far East and sample our delicious Asian soups. Just like what I prepared up here for my family!
Something with pork meat like spareribs, with vegetables, with poultry like chicken and noodles too.
Soup without meat or fish is spiced up with special ingredients. It is your choice, please refer to my recipe builder route for vegetarian, fish, meat and poultry soup.

VEGGIES and NOODLE SOUP

It makes the chicken soup compared to – a plate of vegetable soup tastes superb and simply good. Ideal for a snack to warm up or as a starter.

European Soup

These are few among the soups I had cooked for my family base on european recipes. That soup must be hot, now even a German court has found. When it gets colder just like now, soups are very popular not only in my family but for the others too. As a basis for many warming broths and stews serves the soup vegetables, also called greens, which traditionally consists of carrots, celeriac, leek and parsley. The amount of the purchased soup vegetables is increasing in eorope for years continuously speciallyion winter time.

The ingredients of soup vegetables can vary by region, so there are also partly parsley roots, turnips and onions in practical bundles. The mixtures can be boil spicy broths or use as a base for soups or stews. The preparation is very simple: the vegetables into small pieces, fry, add the stock and let it boil, then puree to taste and flavor with the herbs. Just like what I usually do to my cream soup namely: Carrots, Broccoli, Cauliflower, potatoes, mushrooms and zucchini. For more soup recipe, just check here out from time to time more are coming from my kitchen 😛

Since people cooked their food first, the soup stands for “food” and “Abundance”. Soup symbolizes maternal care, no matter who they prepared – an unknown housewife or a celebrity chef. With an invitation to the soup diet, body and soul of your guests. Soup makes your daily life easier, it symbolizes pleasures of the table, abundance and good company.
The soup is ready – ” good appetite! ” 😉
