A cup of blueberries a day keeps the blues away. Oregon and Washington Blueberries are back in season! They are the leading producers of blueberries in the U.S. and the nutritional benefits are boundless!

We created Blueberry Sago with Fresh Basil and Sweet Cream using Oregon and Washington Blueberries. Grab a boost of blue with this small-but-mighty superfood!

Ingredients: (serves 3)
450g Oregon or Washington Frozen Blueberries
50g Sugar
237ml Water
0.5g Ground Cinnamon
15ml Lemon Juice
60ml Evaporated Milk
35g Pearl Sago (uncooked)
Fresh Basil
Sweet Cream

Steps:
1. In a large saucepan, bring frozen blueberries, water, sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice to a boil over medium heat. Boil for a few minutes, stirring continuously, and remove from heat.

2. In a blender, combine the slightly cooled blueberry mixture and evaporated milk. Blend until smooth. Chill the blended mixture until ready to serve.

3. To make the sago, bring a pot of water to boil and add in the sago. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 15mins, until sago is transparent. Drain and rinse under cold water. Let it soak in a bowl of cold water until ready to use.

4. Portion out the chilled blueberry soup and top with sago, sweet cream and fresh basil. Serve and enjoy!

----------

They are widely available under various brands from retailers such as RedMart and FairPrice. Simply look for the words ‘Oregon’ or ‘Washington’ proudly emblazoned on punnets, or refer to the source at the back of a pack of frozen or dried blueberries, to be assured of premium quality.

【飲食文化衝擊】生吃就是野蠻人飲食嗎？

⭐生吃會增加脾胃負擔
⭐容易腹瀉人士要格外小心
#星期六隻眼閉

從前不敢生吃的食物 / 真的可以生吃嗎？
幼稚園生都知道：食物要煮熟才能吃。但人越大，眼界越開闊，小時候煮熟才吃的東西，長大了發現原來都可以生吃！以下食物你覺得生吃還是熟吃美味呢？

🌽 白粟米
粟米煮法多樣，但北海道白粟米可以當水果般生食，號稱是世界上最甜的粟米。

🐟 魚
刺身是日本的經典料理，將新鮮魚類、貝類切片，配以山葵、醬油食用，不少人對刺身為之瘋狂，不過大量進食要當心吃下寄生蟲。

🥚 雞蛋
日本人喜歡用生雞蛋拌飯吃，然而並非所有雞蛋都可以生吃，日本產雞蛋由下蛋日開始計算，21天內可以生吃，蛋盒上印的最佳食用期限就是可以生吃的期限。

🐮 牛肉/雞肉
法國菜的經典前菜Steak tartare韃靼牛肉，將生牛肉剁碎，混合香料及生雞蛋製成，除了牛肉亦有韃靼雞肉，日本亦有餐廳供應雞肉刺身，你敢試嗎？

🦀 蟹
醬油蟹是著名的韓國菜，將生蟹放在醬油中醃製而成，江蘇、上海等地亦有生醉蟹的做法，用酒將生蟹醃製而成。要注意吃生蟹有機會感染肺吸蟲病、霍亂等疾病。

🐙 活章魚
活章魚是韓國的傳統菜式，將仍然鮮蹦活跳的章魚直接放進嘴裡，章魚觸鬚吸盤有機會吸住人的嘴巴、舌頭甚至食道，有機會導致窒息，可說是玩命的飲食體驗。

中醫理論認為生冷食物有違養生原則，「生」是指未煮過的食物，「冷」是指低於室溫的食物，進食生冷食物容易損傷陽氣及脾胃，令體內產生濕、痰等。而且未經煮熟的食物容易附有細菌及寄生蟲，任何調味料例如醋、酒、蒜頭、辣椒等均不能將之消滅，吃後輕則消化不良，重則食物中毒，大家進食前要三思。

Can we eat them raw?
Even kindergarteners know that cooked foods are safe to eat. As we grow older and are exposed to new knowledge, we realize there are some foods that can actually be eaten raw!

Do you enjoy eating the following foods raw or cooked?

🌽 White corn
There are many ways to cook white corn, but the Hokkaido white corn, known to be the sweetest corn in the world, can be eaten raw.

🐟 Fish
Sashimi is a classic dish in Japanese cuisine. We can slice fresh raw fish and shellfish and eat them with wasabi and soy sauce. Many people enjoy sashimi, but do beware of the parasites that might enter the body if we consume them excessively.

🥚 Egg
Japanese enjoy mixing raw eggs into their rice, but not all eggs can be eaten raw. Eggs that are produced in Japan can be eaten raw within the first 21 days. Do watch out for the expiry date for raw consumption on the packaging.

🐮 Beef/chicken
Steak tartare is a classic French dish, and it is made of mixed minced raw beef, spices, and raw eggs. Besides steak tartare, there is also chicken tartare. In some Japanese restaurants, they serve chicken sashimi too. Would you be willing to give that a shot?

🦀 Crab
Soy sauce marinated crab is famous in Korean cuisine, and the crabs used in the dish are uncooked. Likewise, in Jiangsu and Shanghai, there are also people who marinate raw crabs with wine. Do note that eating raw crabs can increase the risks of getting the Paragonimus infection (lung infection caused by parasites called paragonimus) and cholera.

🐙 Live octopus
In traditional Korean cuisine, raw octopus is served. While diners would consume live octopuses as they are, the mollusks’ arms might cling onto the mouth, tongue, and even esophagus, suffocating the diners.

The Chinese Medicine theories believe that eating raw and cold food is not good for the wellbeing of the body. ‘Raw’ refers to uncooked foods, whereas ‘cold’ refers to foods that are below room temperature. Eating raw and cold foods can damage the yang energy, the spleen, and the stomach, and it would cause the body to accumulate phlegm and dampness.

Uncooked foods may also become a growing site for bacteria and parasites. Seasonings like vinegar, wine, garlic, and chili are not effective in wiping out the bacteria and parasites. Some might experience a mild indigestion after consuming uncooked foods, but in more severe cases, individuals might experience food poisoning. Hence, we need to be more cautious.

Follow Chef Ross' easy steps to get your Bak Chang beautifully wrapped!

After rinsing and soaking dried bamboo leaves and strings in water overnight until slightly soft:

1️⃣ Overlap 2 leaves at the halfway point of each.
2️⃣ Fold through a V-shape into a cone. Ensure that the tip of the cone is sealed with the excess leaves folded in.
3️⃣ Fill coned leaves with 2 spoonfuls of uncooked glutinous rice, followed by the ingredients and more uncooked glutinous rice until cone is full. (Depending on the size of your leaves, adjust the spoonfuls accordingly. The idea is a 1:1:1 ratio of rice to ingredients to rice.)
4️⃣ When filled, form a C-shape with your dominant hand to cup the bottom of the cone.
5️⃣ Using your non-dominant hand, fold the excess leaves over the open area of the cone.
6️⃣ Continue folding the excess leaves around the cone / pyramid shape.
7️⃣ Over 2 points of the cone / pyramid, tie strings around and a knot to secure the dumplings.
8️⃣ Steam / boil dumplings and enjoy!

Basically you just need only 2 ingredients. Hot Cake Mix (Japanese pancake mix) and sausages!

I used Hot Cake Mix for the batter to save time. Hot Cake Mix is perfect for corn dog batter. It is a very popular and versatile Japanese pancake mix. You can make cakes, cookies, muffins, or any kind of sweets.

Hot Cake Mix is available at Asian grocery stores overseas. Morinaga and Showa are popular brands.

Heart-Shaped Corn Dogs (2 Ingredients)

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 15min
Number of servings: 20 sausages (5cm/2in long) OR 10 sausages (10cm/4in long)

Ingredients:
50g (1.7oz) hot cake mix
50ml water or milk
20 sausages (5cm/2in long) OR 10 sausages (10cm/4in long)
deep frying oil
ketchup if you want

Directions:
1. In a bowl, mix hot cake mix and water very well.
2. Cut a sausage diagonally and join the cut sides reversely to form a heart shape. Put through an uncooked spaghetti piece or a toothpick to hold them together.
3. Dip the heart-shaped sausages in the batter and deep fry at 170C (340F) until golden.
4. Carefully remove the toothpicks. Spaghetti will become soft, so you don't need to remove it. Serve with ketchup.
