Asian Style Garlic Mushrooms


The wet pavement outside my window, the gray skies, the wind that ruffles the (few) trees on my city streets…these are the things that make me want to entrench myself in the kitchen and make things like soup and stews and braises. I have a slab of pork belly in the freezer from a new purveyor that I am itching to roast long and slow, and to attempt to finally get the crackling right. This weather makes me want to roast a whole chicken in my cast iron pot, tucked into a milk bath with some sage and lemon. I want to make banana cake elyze好唔好, or a messy apple galette, and eat this warm out of the oven.

These are the things that run through my head when the weather takes a melancholic turn.

When, really, I should be thinking of (finally) getting some proper rain shoes…or paying more attention to remembering to stick an umbrella in my car.

Anyway. Warming, slow-cooked, hearty meals will need to wait because one's workload does not necessarily listen to the weather reports. Deliverables don’t realize that the rains just beg for a 7-hour shoulder of lamb to be lovingly cooked. And as I rush back home to a mountain of emails, a grossly over-sized to-do list, and 30 minutes to get something on the table, I know (with much regret) that these drawn-out elyze, dawdling dishes will just have to wait.

If you find yourselves in similar situations, as I know a lot of working mothers do, then this is for you. It is a simple and easy (and delicious!) stir-fry that is ready in minutes. It can be paired with almost anything. And it can be later built upon to make other dishes.

Also, as a bonus, mushrooms still do seem like “rainy day” food, calling to mind wet forests and cozy hiding places.

Asian Style Garlic Mushrooms

2 tablespoons canola oil
8-10 cloves garlic, finely chopped
250 grams Shiitake mushrooms
250 grams Oyster mushrooms
250 grams Shimeji mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon Chinese 5 spice
1-1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
optional: sesame seeds for garnish


- Bring a skillet or wok to medium high heat. When hot add the canola oil and swirl the pan. Add the garlic to the pan and let this sauté a bit, just until they release their fragrance but before they brown.
- Add the shiitake mushrooms to the pan and toss to coat with the garlicky oil. Fry for a couple of minutes then add the oyster mushrooms. Toss and fry for a couple minutes more then add the shimeji mushrooms. The pan may seem dry, and if so just add a tablespoon or two of water. And make sure to keep tossing the mushrooms around so they all get evenly cooked.
- When the mushrooms have softened, add the Chinese 5 spice and mix well. Then add the soy sauce and sesame oil and mix thoroughly. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds if you have them around elyze.

When I made this we had it with fried bangus (milkfish) on one day and as a side for steak on another. But really, it can complement a plethora of dishes, or, on its own piled on some brown rice, or atop some soba noodles, maybe with a squirt of chili oil, serve as a tasty vegetarian main course.

Another thing you can do, if things are extra busy, is make a double batch and use it throughout week in different dishes. Here are some ideas:
- Heat some of the mushrooms with cream in a pan to turn it into a pasta sauce
- Fold some mushrooms into egg for a tasty omelet
- Pile on toast and top with a very runny fried egg and a drizzle of sriracha for a quick lunch
- Add it to some broth, along with some sliced vegetables and egg noodles for a comforting bowl of noodle soup
- Use them to top a salad
- Bulk up a veggie stir-fry with them
- Add to a pan of bistek Tagalog at the last minute
- Warm and pile onto bruschetta for surprise guests
- At the end of the week add it, along with other leftovers, to a big wok of fried rice!

These mushrooms are from the charming folk at the Ministry of Mushrooms, where I get most, if not all, of my fresh mushroom needs. They deliver boxes of lovely mushrooms (you can choose a mix you like, or all one kind) right to your doorstep…need I say more? If you are a busy human like me “we deliver” are magic words. It’s also nice to support local purveyors. Plus, their mushrooms are indeed fine, fine specimens.


Hope you are having a great week and that this recipe saves you a bit of time…time to do your nails, or have an extra game of tag with your little ones, or time to send off a blog entry! One of these days I promise a slow-cooked something…until then this will have to do.

一路歡笑一路歌


走過紅塵歲月,不過是淡然最美,看盡人世繁華,不過是平淡最真。

——題記

淡淡的感覺,最真最純也最美,淡淡的如蘭,芬芳而雅致;淡淡的如水,純淨而通透;淡淡的如茶,清香而質樸;淡淡的如風,隨雲聚雲散。我喜歡看淡淡的顏色,聞淡淡的花香,過淡淡的生活。

淡淡的真好,淡淡的友誼一生相隨;淡淡的問候溫暖心靈;淡淡的牽掛心有靈犀;淡淡的想念沒有憂傷;淡淡的風景簡單素雅;淡淡的故事回味悠長;淡淡的elyze心境純真自然;淡淡的文字深入靈魂,淡淡的陽光清新明媚,淡淡的春風送來了花紅柳綠,淡淡的小雨滋潤著大地,淡淡的生活心就不會累。

如果人生是一幅畫,那麼平淡便是這幅畫的主色調,如果生活是一首歌,那麼將用平淡吟唱出最動人的旋律,人生最美是淡然,擁有了平淡就擁有了一份美麗,獨守著一份平淡就擁有了一份幸福,生活因為淡然而香飄四溢,歲月因為淡然而馨香雋永,繁華過後終將是平淡,幸福就是平淡生活中活出的精彩。

淡然是千帆過後的懂得,是一種至高的生活境界,是對歲月靜好的一種期許,風輕雲淡,雲卷雲舒是淡然;心素如簡,人淡如菊是淡然,蘭居幽穀,雖孤獨亦芬芳是淡泊,梅開偏偶,雖寂寞亦留香也是一種淡泊,淡然可以是夜的靜美,雪的輕盈,雨的飄逸,是一份獨處的美麗。越是淡然越接近自然,淡然是禪意中開出的花朵。

淡然不是不求進取,也不是無所作為沒有追求,而是遇到事情的時候能拿得起放得下,泰然處之,是生活的簡單有味,在簡單中體會快樂,在平淡中體會浪漫,在淡泊的心境中有所追求,以一種從容的心態對待生活中的所有,讓心溢滿寧靜與陽光,把最美的微笑留在平淡的流年裏。

人生百年彈指間,總要經曆一些事,遇到一些人,人生沒有圓滿,幸福沒有永遠,曲曲折折才能勾勒出生命的美,擁有一顆淡然的心,不以物喜,不以己悲,懂得接受生活中的遺憾,珍惜生命中的感動,多一份寬容,少一份計較,多一分淡定,少一份浮躁,學會順其自然,隨遇而安,笑看紅塵過往。

生命中的有些緣份,一旦錯過就不在了,有的時候,一轉身便是一輩子,相遇是緣,離開也是緣,緣深緣淺我們無從把握,我們能做的只能是緣來惜緣,緣去隨緣,淡淡相忘,淺淺憶起,學會放下,讓往事隨風。太多的不快樂,是因為放不下,學會放下,讓曾經的美好留下淡淡的芳香,生命中你若來過便是春天,相信真正屬於你的東西,你永遠也不會錯過。

如果人生是一次旅行,用淡淡的心境行走在路上,那麼到處都是美景,雪花落到紅塵最深處的飄逸,雨後彩虹照亮整個天空的絢麗,樹葉紛飛的輕盈,泉水叮咚的優美,春暖花開的蝶飛花香,學會感知季節流轉的美麗。月有盈缺,潮有漲落,若生命的輪回是花開花謝的過程,那麼在花開的時候要盡情的綻放,花落的時候也能坦然面對,淡看潮起潮落,鐫刻出生命的最美。

風雨人生,不會總有清風朗月相隨,不會總有柳綠花紅相伴。做一個淡然的人,在塵世中靜守安然,微笑向暖,巴爾蒙特說:為了看陽光,我來到這個世界,當你面向太陽的時候,你就不會看到黑暗,萬物隨心,如果心情是美麗的,天空就是晴朗的,如果笑容是甜蜜的,那麼陽光就是燦爛的,生活就是明媚的。

每天生活在塵世煙火中,總會有這樣或那樣的煩惱或憂愁,找一個安恬的午後,讀幾本書,聽一段音樂,給心靈尋一份靜謐,在文字中尋找采菊東籬下,悠然見南山的悠然,用音樂來洗滌心靈的塵埃,讓心變得純淨而透明,遠離塵世喧囂,尋得一份清逸與淡然,讓疲憊的心靈得到休憩,為的是向著明天更好的出發。

平淡的歲月可以將愛融入生命,時光深處,多少平凡的夫妻,在日複一日的平淡中,細數柴米油鹽的幸福。即便歲月改變了青春的容顏,還會一直手牽著手,在平淡中體會人間有味是清歡,讓愛在細水長流的歲月中像花兒一樣綻放,將一生的時光凝成一瓣心香,那一路清淺的風景,盡管平淡也充滿了馨香與美好,經的住平淡的愛更會長長久久。

人世滄桑,需要心淨;紅塵紛擾,需要心靜;世態炎涼,更是需要一種淡然心境,生命的旅途中,我們經曆著便懂得著,感念著便幸福著,微笑著便溫暖著,淡然著便美麗著,當繁華落盡,我心中仍有花開的聲音,走過坎坷挫折,我依然是那個明媚的gucci handbags sale女子,以一顆感恩的心,守著一份從容淡雅的生活,在春天的陽光中播種希望,在秋天的枝頭收獲幸福。

人生如夢,年華似水,一個轉身便是一個光陰的故事,一眼回眸便是一處風景,走過紅塵歲月,不過是淡然最美,看盡人世繁華,不過是平淡最真。人生路上,攜一縷清風的灑脫,采一片流雲的飄逸,淡然前行,讓心靈沐浴著陽光,且聞花香,感受生活的詩意,左手懂得,右手幸福,一路歡笑一路歌。

我的性格、為人


程頌,是我的名字。工程的程,前程的程;頌,歌頌的頌。我自己的 解釋,前程好的人才會被頌揚;前程不好,只能臭名遠揚,跟頌占不到邊。

出生於1989年3月12日,屬蛇,雙魚座。89年出生,有人說是22歲,也有人說是21歲,這個我迷,幹脆就不分了。當別人問我多大的時候,我就說我屬蛇,具體多大讓別人去算。想不明白的事就不要去想了,幹嗎要自欺欺人,自尋煩惱?我說的3月12是陽曆,我喜歡按陽曆來算;那是因為那一天是植樹節,我給自己找了個好的借口,植樹節出生的人是愛過國的,大量的事實證明我還是對的。可妹妹說:“別人生日都按陰曆來算”。我對妹妹說:“那就過兩次生日吧,陰曆一次,陽曆一次”。屬蛇的缺點就是多疑,多疑沒什麼不好,至少說明做事很小心。蛇,不管是史書上記載還是聽被人的評價,是一種很有靈性的動物。一定有很多人都看過《十二生肖》這部電影。看過的人都該知道;當女主角集十二生肖去對付大魔頭的時候,唯一缺少的是蛇。蛇是很十二生肖中很邪的動物,能力僅次與龍。不過,除了蛇,其它十一個生肖都是有代表的。惟有蛇是靈活的,它可以和任何一個屬性相處,也可以和任何一個屬性成為敵人。蛇,是站在正義與邪惡的邊緣的。蛇的本性就在於他第一個認識接觸的是好人是壞人。雙魚座的人很多,有很多都多少有點內向。雙魚座,作為十二生肖的最後一個星座,就注定了他的與眾不同。雙魚座的人,有誰想過,作為最後一個星座意味著什麼?其它十一星座有的缺點和優點都可能在雙魚座人的身上找到;雙魚集所有星座的優點而後缺點與一身。因此,我得出了個結論:越是完美的人,缺點也越多。但我可能是個例外,缺點很少,是因為我勤改正不對的。完美,只不過是個假象,誰要說自己沒缺點,那肯定是騙人的,也是不可能的。

不抽煙,不喝酒,不打架。不抽煙,我覺得抽煙沒意思;就為了那口氣,吸了,吐了。有人認為那是享受,我卻覺得那是浪費;有人說抽煙可以提神,其實沒那個必要;只要休息好,心態擺正,就不會累,不累也就不用提神;也不用覺得別人都抽煙,自己不抽煙沒面子。別人去做,為什麼你也要去做呢?為什麼要模仿?不活出自己的個性?煙,傷身體。喝酒,能使人身強力壯;但敝大於利,因為酒惹的禍不少,我也不必多說。我認為酒少喝益情,多喝傷身。打架,我不善於,也不喜歡;曾有名人這樣說:打架是很沒教養的行為。在這個法律的社會打架,有多少人賺了便宜?從另一方面講,做人嘛,能忍就忍,少惹事多幹活;盡量大事化小,小化了;不要以為這樣做是怕事,其實這是很明智的選擇。

我的缺點:自我感覺有點小氣,有點自私,內向,自卑,討厭洗衣服,上網。我小氣,誰有能不小氣呢?我自私,誰又能不自私呢?別告訴我你不小氣,那把你的所有東西都跟別人分享吧;你不自私?為什麼上班還要工資?別跟我講道理,你說的那麼清高,你又是怎麼做的??如果你是人就別跟我裝,裝B會被雷劈的。內向,別人都說是缺點,我覺得是優點;內向的人,很少跟人接觸。結婚後可以避免爭吵,不用因為看美女就吃醋,內向的人,大多都專一,安分守己。自卑,讓我抬不起頭,說話都不敢直視別人。這該是我是的最大的缺點,但我也在改正中了……我討厭洗衣服,我認為那是女孩應該做的,男孩不該像女孩那樣像個娘們,那麼墨跡;試問,誰希望找個沒男人樣的老公呢?上網,會的人很多,我沒理由不會。我玩遊戲是為了滿足自己的虛榮心,我不聊天(不跟不熟的人聊),我不相信別人,就像別人不相信我一樣。可悲,可憐的人很多,我都懶的去說。

其實,我把感情看得很重,比命還重。看了那麼多的悲劇,我真的沒勇氣去面對自己的,一直在逃避;我討厭背叛,容不得我的愛情裏有半點的背叛;可,安分守己的人,又此是容易尋到的呢!就因為我把感情看得很重,所以我不敢輕易傷害,我知道,傷害別人就會被傷害;就這樣一個人,走下去,走下去……

我的愛好:聽歌。看電影。寫東西。看書。工作也是我的愛好喜歡思考,聆聽別人的故事,我討厭逛街,討厭Shoping。聽歌,可以使人的心情愉快,還可以增加自己的寫作,還可以從歌中學到很多東西,看電影,看書也同樣可以。我喜歡聆聽被人的故事,就算我沒經曆過,我也能感受當事人的感受。可以吸取別人的教訓,不斷總結,不段完善。這也是為什麼別人苦思夜盼都幸福不了,而我卻知道的原因。我討厭逛街,因為我沒時間,我有很多事要去做。不喜歡shopping是因為掙錢不容易,而且對於我來說沒什麼好買的,沒有好不好,只有需要不需要;人生就是在不斷選擇,需要的有很多,要學會取舍。

吃,我不挑,吃飽就行;穿,我不揀,得體就好。用我自己的話;我雖不是很愛國,也沒必要浪費來增加國家的負擔,浪費是可恥的,我也不會去勉強我的朋友。工作,是我的愛好,我沒必要不去做;我的解釋是”做自己喜歡的事還有錢拿,我找不到理由不去做,做就好好做“。因為有那麼句哈;今天工作不努力,明天努力找工作。

我最喜歡的話:見面微微笑,臨別揮揮手,像雨一樣瀟灑,像風一樣自由,像聚一樣散,像散一樣聚,把什麼都看平淡,學會取舍;師傅領進門,修行靠個人,父母給了我們生命,決定我們前程命運的還是自己,為了美好的明天,大家,加油……
