Stir-fry Fish Bladder ~ 翻炒魚鰾

A simple stir-fry dish of Fish Bladder (魚鰾) with carrot, celery, shitake mushrooms and not forgetting my favourite soy bean chip/dao bao (豆包).  The dao bao tends to be very absorbent and hence I had to add in more water to the dish after I added them in, and I added them in last.  This dish goes very well with white rice and is quite popular during Chinese New Year.

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!
