Learning how to cook

Cooking is one of the most sensitive ways of art. It's not about paint or acrylic stuff I heard at school but it is more on what you consume from morning to evening. Yeah, it was fun cooking but I did prepared and make sure it is not salty or undesirable. Also, as long as it is from the heart, then you have what it takes to make something for your loved ones or close friends.

Last night while cooking Soba or in Filipino as pansit, I am thinking of the people important to me and that motivated me to do my best in cooking the said dish even if I have no experience with it before. To make it healthier, I put a lot of vegetables and used Salmon as my meat.

I hope my friend would like it because I made sure the taste is better than what people would think.

My own with Coconut Milk

This could be a bit tricky but, i wish everyone would get a taste of it and that, i improve my cooking as well. I am cooking this in a while. It is just i rarely had the time but let me share this. If you want to improve my cooking, you may add comments as well.

Ingredients:

1. Any Japanese fish or Filipino based fish
2. 2 Cups of Vinegar
3. Half Onion Sliced evenly
4. 1 Eggplant(To absorb any trace of the smell of fish)
5. Ampalaya(Optional)
6. Coconut Milk(Optional)
7. Ginger
8. Few tablespoon of salt

First, clean the fish or wash it with cold water. If it came from a freezer, let it defreeze until it softens up. After cleaning, put the fish in the cooking pot, so thus the sliced ginger, onion, eggplant and a few tablespoon of salt. Next, pour the two cups of vinegar simultaneously. Never put water because it could soften up the fish molecules. Turn on the stove, set it to almost maximum and let it cook until it boils. When it boils, open the cover a bit and make the fire level of the stove almost middle until 15 minutes. And lower the fire level after covering the pot, make it sure by 15-20 minutes to make the fish cook. An option for me is to put Coconut Milk after those 15-20 minutes through another 10 minutes until the dish is ready to serve.

Simple but delicious. Hope one day, i can cook it with my future wife for our children and everyone.
