Tämän alkuvuoden ja kevään aikana olisi tarkoitus oppia leipomaan leipää ja kokeilla vähintään kerran kuussa uutta reseptiä. Vuosien varrella kokeiltavia reseptejä on kertynyt runsaasti, joten sen ei ainakaan pitäisi olla este. Tänä viikonloppuna on tehty pitkään haudutettua naudan paistia vietnamilaisin mausten ja vietnamilaisia kevätkääryleitä. Erittäin maistuvia molemmat. Kevätkääryleiden reseptejä ja ohjeita löytyy runsaasti netistä, joten en niitä tähän kirjaa muuten kuin kuvien muodossa. Kannattaa kokeilla. Täytteeksi laitoimme porkkanaa, avokadoa, kurkkua, retiisiä, thai-basilikaa ja korianteria sekä marinoituja katkarapuja ja valmistamaamme naudan paistia. Haudutetun naudan lihan resepti löytyy täältä. Sopii erinomaisesti myös raikkaan salaatin ja riisin kanssa tarjottavaksi.

What was left from Christmas was our Christmas tree which was a birch branch this year. I think shadows of the branch are beautiful towards our living room's wall. I'll keep it until spring starts and we get more natural light inside. In southern Finland we haven't yet really seen the winter and I'm beginning to preparing myself for spring time. I still would like to have a bit snow this year, so it wouldn't be so dark all the time.
During this beginning of the year and spring my goal is to learn to bake a bread and try at least one new recipe a month. I have collected a huge amount of recipes in last years, so I have plenty of options to choose from. This weekend we prepared vietnamese food : spring rolls and beef stew. Both were great and worth to prepare There are plenty of recipes for spring rolls in the internet, so I only post photos this time. We filled them with carrot, cucumber, radish, thai basil, coriander, avocado, marinated shrimps and some beef stew. I'll write the beef recipe on my next post.

500 g beef steak

Start preparing the sauce. Chop the onions finely. Slice chili, remove seeds and cut into slices. Peel and grate the ginger. Fry them together in frying pan. Add chicken broth and other ingredients. Bring to a boil and pour over the roast until it's covered.
Cover the pot with a lid. Simmer the meat at 160 degrees for about 4 hours. Meat is ready when it is mouth-watering and perfectly crumbly.
When the meat is done, remove it from the pot and cover it with a foil. Strain the broth and cook it until it has evaporated thirds. For spring rolls you can you can add just a bit of sauce to moisture the meat before serving. When serving e.g with rice, add all the sauce.
