My Podcast

Hello everyone and welcome to the first episode of “Cooking is easy by Jeabfy”. I’m your host, Jeabfy. “Cooking is easy” is a podcast that inspire you to cook even you don’t know how. Before, I came to the USA. I was a normal woman who loves to eat. I like Thai food, Japanese food, Korean food, Chinese food and Italian food.

                At that time I never cook by myself, I just help my aunt to prepare ingredient likes cut vegetable, clean meat and buy some herb. Since I come to the USA and my friend told me that if I like to eat you have to be good cooker because I had experience with taste and I can make it. I start cook 3 years ago. Now I can make food more than 50 menus in variety type of food. My food is not complicate but full of taste. I grow with the country that has variety taste in one dish. Thai food can be sweet, spicy, salt, bitter and sour in one dish. Thailand is a country that rich in ingredients. We have jasmine rice, fresh vegetable and fresh fruit. Most of all can be ingredients in Thai food.

My personal I like Thai food the best but second one that I really love is Japanese food. In my country Japanese food is expensive. I like fresh fish. They called sashimi, I like Tuna, salmon, and yellowtail. The first Japanese dish that I was cook is Tonkatsu over rice. I made this dish to offering to my family that passes away on Chinese New Year long time ago. And this is a perfect time to cook this menu again.

Today I will be teaching you how to make “Tonkatsu curry”. Tonkatsu is bread deep fried pork cutlet. This menu is very popular Japanese dish. It is easy and yummy. I recommend you guy to buy sauce mix for curry.  It saves time and tasty. You can choose level of spicy mild, medium or hot. First step to make curry, you have to boil water and add sauce in to the pot, stir often until the sauce melt and add vegetables that you need like carrot potato or celery.

The next one is making Tonkatsu. I recommend you to buy pork loin; this part is tender and moisture. Cut pork in size you want (not to thick it hard to cook them). Pre pare the large bowl with whipped egg and put Panko in another bowl. Panko is bread crumbs that bigger flake. It makes your Tonkatsu crispy when you deep fried.  Dipped the cutlet pork with tempura powder and put in egg mixture and dredge in panko. You have to heat the oil in a wok until the oil get 350F. Drop the pork into the oil, fried until outside come to gold color. Use chopstick to flip or press the meat. Do not use high heat. Bring it up on tissue towel to absorb the oil. You can cut the meat to check that is cook.

When you serve this dish put a scoop of Japanese rice (short grain). Put curry onside and put Tonkatsu on topped the rice. You can check the picture with recipes in my blog or our website. Hope you enjoy cooking and enjoy eating. Remember all the time “cooking is easy”.  Thank you for listen my podcast today. See you next episode with my popular dish “instant noodle seafood salad”. Have a nice day. Bye Bye.
