many yrs ago during student time i got working in restoran. i was waitering and then also sometime i work kitchen to chap-choy (prep the vege). so the chef will scold me if i cut wrongly or portion not right. so is very very stress inside the kitchen. altho work kitchen, but no chance to see them cook cos so busying with chap-choy. slow abit will kena scold, just like Hells Kitchen the chef ramsay scold ppl one.

from there i learn cutted vege and also meats. so nowaday when cook, my fav part is prep cos i will cut the vege, meats and all and past to the chef. unfortunately chef vey is real lousy at the wok/pan.

vey99, if you're using beef patty then don't use oil also will work fine - you just have to use the ladel or whatever to stab it all over.

fry 1 side, stab the other. smile.gif then flip it over, stab the other side. you'll see the oil oozing out.

if you want to make it more tasty, grill the buns before grilling the patty. heat up the pan (best is flat pan) then put some butter there. then put the bun on the pan, try to even out the butter spread. or you can spread the butter first.

then after that your pan has some nice smell already. biggrin.gif can put the patty for the works.

then can put cheese, vege, wheat germ and all sorts of other sauces if you may. biggrin.gif


Added on December 14, 2009, 2:45 pmbtw tried Darabif (virgin beef?) but find it not as nice as Ramli patty. smile.gif

i stab one patty until it broke in two yesterday lol.

yeah no need oil one if juz fry patty, teflon pan is good.

darabif ok ok la, quite thick. taste wise i guess ramli is still better as well.

once i finish these batch i wont fry stuff liao. probably work on steaming foods - is my fav method of cooks.

if you fry, make sure you soak up the oil or let it drip before consuming. oil a lot, not good.

how you stab la? i should video my beef preparation la. tongue.gif anyway if you can do it the road side stall style, slice the beef patty in half (not necessary to tear it off) then fry inside, put pepper and whatever stuff. biggrin.gif

and btw making beef patty not consider frying la, it's grilling. smile.gif steam / grill / bake / roast are all nice. biggrin.gif btw you get material in SG should be cheaper la.

in M'sia i wanna get materials also so costly. sad.gif mozarella not cheap. olive oil not cheap. everything also not cheap.

Burger would taste much better with caramelized onions. Use low heat to saute the sliced onions for a few minutes until brown. dunnit to add oil oso can(maybe a few drops). If you like a better browning add a touch of sugar.

A touch of rosemary on beeef patties do wonders too

Got question. When I cook spaghetti usually i will boil them with a bit of oil and salt. When al dante i drain the water and then fill with warm or not so hot water to wash then drain again. Do you guys do this? I think i read somewhere thats why i always do this.

But what is the logic behind washing with not so hot water and drain?

To stop the cooking process and make it more 'springy'. Pls ensure clean water if not the bacterial will built up very fast and cause food poisoning.

vey99 - thanks for the great recipe but can you make your pictures a bit smaller? By half?

Spaghetti no need rinse lah. Just drain it in a colander and dump it into a dish and toss with olive oil so the noodles don't stick together. You can also toss it with some minced garlic or whatever else at this stage for flavour, before putting a dollop of sauce on it.

I'd say whack the butter 30 seconds before removing the fish out. That way, you get most of the butter's flavor and to avoid burning it.

i used bottled teriyaki sos before. i marinate the salmon with it and then pan fry it, but at the end, it just tasted weird so i decided not to use premade sause and find the recipe to do it from base. that way is harder but at least i understand the components that make the flavour.

lolol..u wanna add water can, given that whatever u marinate taste like water u dont mind la.

but seriously, don't add water to marinade la, don't add anything that doesn't contribute to the flavour of the meat into the marinade.

Indead Jap ingredient always expense, because most are imported. But compare you eat outside still cheaper.

Erm i believe this dinner cost me:
1) the sushi (RM2)
2) Pork chop (RM1)
3) Drink (Rm0.5), Sos (RM0.5), Egg (0.5)
Almost cost RM5, and spend almost 20 mins.....
so you see better go out side eat sweat.gif

It's not that expensive because that can be for 2 meals for people like me. The sushi is enough for one meal (maybe lunch). Just cook some rice and can eat with the pork chop for dinner.

Good yo, more ppl coming in ^^
can't see photo in my office, will check them out when i got home

I'm very bad at making sushi, i always put too much rice & when i roll it up, it will be so gigantic >.<

And for the yeast, i can't remember which brand i used, that time i was making bagels
i just follow the instruction attached on the packaging.
Need to activate the yeast with some sugar+warm water+flour beforehand, when u see bubbles, then only mix into the rest of the dough
Tempreature & humidity also playing important role.

Ya, don put too thick the rice, 0.5 cm thickness should be fine. I same having the same mistake like you, even worse when i roll the sushi time i press it too hard until all rice "melt"....

....I get hungry by just browsing this thread (eating now also). You guys are great cook... may I have the curry rice? biggrin.gif

Btw, I did a simple er... soup (if you consider that a soup) too. I make a terrible cook and photographer, so please forgive me.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Ingredients:
1. Chicken stock cube x 1 (powder form works too)
2. Sweet corn (cream style) - 1 can
3. Eggs x 2

*Optional:
You may add in whatever ingredients you like.. sometimes I'll put in hotdogs, chicken meat chunks, buttons mushroom or ham. ^^

You can also choose to use sweet corn kernels (not the cream style, soup will turn out more diluted and less sweet)


Step 1 - Heat pot. Dissolve the chicken stock in some water (roughly one to half a cup will do)
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Step 2 - Add in the sweet corn. You might add in some starch water if you find it too diluted.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Step 3 - Add in the eggs. Lower the heat.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Step 4 - Stir slowly to break the eggs. =D
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Step 5 - Let it simmer for a bit. Serve.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


...the ugh, finish product! This one looks a bit too tick and goo-ey because I added too much starch in it.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


The soup I did the other week, using sweet corn kernels and button mushrooms. :3

popcorn, sushi wub.gif

but don't make raw seafood at home....coz afraid of bacteria

and for the carrot...maybe you can cut it into slimmer stripes, softer but still crunchy. You can try cucumber too. Just cut it into stripes,take away the seeds; or can preserve in vinegar+sugar for 1 day.

I tried it with pork slices too


Result:

user posted image

Pork slices, minced meat, remaining meat using biscuit cutter






Behind the scene:

If anyone of you wishing to try out the recipe, maybe can exclude the five spice powder. I personally thinks it would be better w/o it.
And also, do it early in the morning when the sun is high and hot. Today when it started raining just as soon as i put it out under the sun.
So with no choice, i had to dry it under ceiling fan & with hair dryer sweat.gif

Jusco outlets that sells Japanese ingredients and Isetan Supermarket. Other than cucumber, crabmeat, pickled radish, there's more varieties. To enchance your sushi and maki flavours, try get this called Sakura Sugar. Forgot its proper name, forgive me.

Looks like this.

your sushi got alot of air inside, try packing the rice a bit more... did you add mirin to the rice? i was unable to see clearly whether you are using the normal grain rice or the japanese short grained rice. Try compacting the rice a bit more, adding some vinegar will loosen the starch content when compacting the sushi, leaving enough room for smooth texture. If you are using normal grain rice (local) do add a bit more water to the rice to make it softer and stickier.

popcorn513, did you use Japanese rice when making sushi and maki? If your skills and technique is great to make sushi rice, it doesn't matter if you are using Japanese rice or local rice. Kampachi Japanese Restaurant have a great 'kung fu' making their rice (local) to sushi rice and all those stickiness.

Speaking of the pink Sakura Denbu, have you seen those Maki sold outside coated with pink colour powder? That's the one.

Steamed Cod
14 Mar 2010

After doing my All About Ah Vey thread i felt something of fishness
so I go get a big slab of cod fish 雪鱼.

I just sliced some gingier/garlic/shallot put on top, and some yellow onion on the bottom to prop it up and add some flavour

user posted image

Steam for 12 minutes on medium fire.

Then I pour in a mix of superior soy sos, a dash of sesame oil

user posted image

The sweetness of fish is nice, this cod is very nice cut and quite pricey also
but i eated the whole slab just like that.

Great afternoon snak! thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

I tried it with pork slices too
Result:

user posted image

Pork slices, minced meat, remaining meat using biscuit cutter
Behind the scene:

If anyone of you wishing to try out the recipe, maybe can exclude the five spice powder. I personally thinks it would be better w/o it.
And also, do it early in the morning when the sun is high and hot. Today when it started raining just as soon as i put it out under the sun.
So with no choice, i had to dry it under ceiling fan & with hair dryer sweat.gif

I've been looking for a thread like this FOREVER! lol

Hey, I hope moderator can make this into a sub forum, because cooking have a lot of area like "Vegetarian" "Italian Food Indian Malay Chinese etc." "Fast food that easily made in 5 mins"

Btw, good job on this thread!! It seem so delicious

Okay la I also wanna share some recipes. Sorry I dont have rajin step by step pictures like vey99, only the last final product. I call this fast chicken under 30 minutes or less.

What you need:

3 pieces of Chicken Breast cut in strips

1 Lemon

½ teaspoon cumin

Lots and lots of grounded black pepper

Salt

McCormicks Mushroom Gravy Mix

1 onion, sliced

Half Green pepper, chopped

A handful of frozen mix vegetables

Step 1: Cut chicken into strips. Season with lemon juice, salt, cumin and go crazy with the black pepper like you’ve won a free supply for an entire year! If possible try to marinate it an hour before cooking, otherwise, cooking it immediately would do just the trick too.

Step 2: Fry the chicken until cooked and remove from pan.

Step 3: Mix McCormicks Gravy mix with 1 cup of hot water, mix it well until lumps disappear.

Step 4: Add oil in pan, fry sliced onion and green pepper till soft, add the gravy mix and throw in the frozen mix vegetable. Add cornstarch with added water if you want your gravy to be thicker.

Step 5: Arrange chicken on plate, then top up with gravy mix. Best served with a side of wedges and vegetables.

Your end product:

The chicken also very delicious you know tongue.gif

Nah it's about RM5 for a packet. Maybe less. Can add cornstarch to it to make the sauce thicker. I've seen those expensive ones too but never tried it.

Vey99, you are so right. My hubby always appreciates my cooking, he always has nice things to say about it and is quite grateful whenever I cook (which is only weekends). So needless to say that motivates me even more to look for new recipes smile.gif I was always to scared to cook previously (afraid I'd mess it up) but now I actually look forward to cooking!!

hah, never know there's a cooking thread here.

Well, I'm kinda into cooking though im a guy lol. Maybe because im an ex hospitality student i guess.

Specially interested with western cooking and inventing fusion cuisine. But sadly, the ingredients are not that cheap and kinda wasted because I cant manage to use it up before expiry date. And some of the sauce really need a lot of hardwork to do it and i don't really like canned western food.

Hokkien Mee or Prawn Mee


user posted image

Ingredients

1 kg medium sized prawns (get the reddish type with the big heads - 'mah ha' as they called it here)
buy as needed kangkong
1/2 kg pork bones or (ketam bunga substitute for our muslim friends)
the soup is clearer with crabs!
buy as needed lean pork (fish cake for our muslim friends)
600 gm (one pack) yellow noodles
1 pack rice vermicelli (bihun)
300 gms bean sprouts
1 pack fried shallots ( preferbly fried your own using rose shallots, more fragrant)
1 nos. yam bean (sengkuang)
one lump rock sugar
as needed hard boiled egg

For the sambal

250 gms chilly paste (chilly boh)
1 small pkt chilly powder
2 small slices 'belacan'
100 gms dried shrimp (har mai)
to taste sugar
to taste salt
to taste MSG (if you want)

First prepare the sambal. Grind the dried shrimp in a dry blender (I don't know what that thingy is called) and roast the belacan till fragrant. Put 250 gms. cooking oil in the wok. Cook the grinded dried shrimp till fragrant and add in the belacan. Add in the chilly boh and stir continously and then add the chilly powder. The chilly powder will give the sambal a nice red colour. Lower the heat and stir occasionally so as not to let it get burnt. Cook until a layer of oil forms on the surface. Add in 2 tbsp. of sugar and a dash of MSG. Then add salt to taste.

Heat up water (amount as desired) in a stock pot. When the water boils put in the prawns. Once the prawns surface to the top, scoop up the prawns.Leave aside the prawns. Add the peeled and sliced thickly yam bean and pork bones (or ketam bunga) and let it boil on high heat. Peel the prawns and put put the peeled prawns into the fridge. In another wok, heat up oil. Scoop 3 ladle ful of the sambal and fry the prawn shells and heads in it. Fry on high heat till really cooked, almost burnt. Transfer everything into the boiling stock. Let it boil and lower the heat when it boils and boil for one and half hours. Add MSG, sugar and salt as desired. Add in the sambal till you get the desired taste. Before shutting off the heat cook the lean pork or pork ribs if you wish and take it after it is cooked.

Scald the noodle, bihun, kangkong and bean sprout and put it into a bowl. Garnish with prawns, sliced lean pork and pork ribs (or sliced fish cake) and hard boiled egg. Pour the soup over and add in the fried shallots.

Enjoy.

ps.For most hawker, they will grind the fried prawn heads and shells to extract the most out of them but it will cloud the soup rclxms.gif

if the mould u're using is proper cake mould (20cm), then u might need to add more biscuits. U line the biscuits on the base of the mould, the amount u need is about one and a half layer...if u like thicker base then add more. The amount of butter u need is equal to half the weight of the biscuit (eg: biscuit 200g= butter 100g)

Recipe for simple dinner? I got a lot, used to cook for myself...
Will try to load some up later smile.gif

Pour in the creamy mixture and add 2-3 slice cheese to make the batter thicker and creamier. If it’s too thick for your liking can add in a bit of milk. Add in some salt and pepper. Cook for a while over low heat. Serve immediately smile.gif

Based from making other sauces without the egg yolk I highly doubt it will make a huge difference. Maybe what you can do is include half a packet of cheddar cheese / mozarella cheese in as well to the mixture to make it more creamier and thicker and balance it off with milk. Coz whipping cream alone with a bit of parmesan cheese won’t do the trick.

ooo roast chicken thigh? Dont' forget to include some rosemary, smells heavenly!

My first attempt to do Stuffed Baked Potato
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


First, heat the potato in oven for 1.5 hr ( the potato was as big as my pencil box..even so long also not soft enough)

Let it cool for awhile.

Slice off the top, about a quarter of the breadth of it.

Use a spoon to scrape the potato bits off the skin(careful not to penetrate the skin)

Mash the potato with chopped dill, smoked salmon, dijon mustard, mayonnaise and onions. If possible, add in shredded parmesan or cheddar/creme fresh/sour cream for better texture and flavor ^^(Dont forget salt and pepper!)

Put everything back into the potato and baked in oven again.


hehe stay tuned for my signature pesto pasta ^^ (my parents say very good so i signatured it LOL)

Pesto Pasta
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Chop basil leaves finely.
Add the leaves, toasted pine nuts, parmesan chunks, olive oil,salt and pepper into the blender and blend till smooth.
Toss with warm pasta and serve away!

Slow-grilled Duck Breast
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Marinade the breast overnight with honey, olive oil, crushed garlic, salt and pepper, and rosemary
Grill the breast at about 110degreecelcius for 1hour(supposedly use tea-smoke pouch to smoke it but duno where to find)
Let the breast to cool to allow it to distribute the juice evenly after cooking.
Slice em up thickly.
Serve with sweet sauces like peach/mango accompaniments.

If you want crispy skin, pan fry it skin down until golden brown(dont need to add oil since the fat of the duck will cook itself ^^ and save the duck fat for roasting potatoes drool.gif )
Then chug it into the oven and grill for 6minutes at 190C(depending on the doneness you desire)

The problem with it is it is still tough and rough eventhough it is about medium doneness. I can't seem to do it like the chefs where the meat is so smooth and tender.
Could it be due to the type of duck used?

wow!!!
so good looking~~~~

for smoking, u just need to put (sugar+tea leaves, herbs is optional) on top of a piece of aluminium foil, heat it straight on top a pan
put the duck in, cover with lid & smoke it for 10-15mins with medium heat, you'll see smokes coming out of the lid very soon
you get very nice brown colour on the piece of meat

Basically prepare a pan of water (either cold or luke warm), dip the rice paper in and get it out straight away ! Then start rolling, it's a matter of timing smile.gif

That's a fermented anchovy fish sauce (Mam Nem), blended with lemon grass, garlic, onion, pineapple and sugar. Must sieve thorougly smile.gif

Hey food lovers & cooking enthusiast, I am pretty new in blogging but I love to blog for the sake of sharing. This mdmchongkitchen is simply a where to share my mum's home cooked recipes to everyone and is my promise I made to her that I'll find times to sit down having dinner together with her & daddy no matter how busy I am. Hope everyone enjoys reading and try do cook the listed recipes. Cheers!

Chap Ba Rang fried rice is one of Mdm Chong always made dishes whenever there is leftover cooked rice. We all named it “Chap Ba Rang”, also known as “All-in-One” fried rice because she can simply add anything in stock and turn it into a main meal to feed us.

Serving: up to 8 persons for a family of 4 (see, just too much leftover cooked rice we had)

Cooking Time: less than 10 minutes

Ingredients

- Leftover cooked rice
- Unfrozen mixed sausages and cut into small chunks, amount as desired
- 1-2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 6-8 cloves Garlic, chopped finely
- Pre-soaked dried shrimps, approximately ½ small bowl
- 1 teaspoon of salt

user posted image

Cooking Methods

1. Heat the cooking oil over high heat.

2. Add the pre-soaked dried shrimps and quick fry until they turn into golden colour. Scoop them out and keep aside for cooking later. This is to keep the crispiness of deep fried dried shrimps.

3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the mixed sausages, yellow onions and garlic into the wok and stir constantly until they all well cooked.

4. Pour cooked rice into the mixture in Step 3. Stir constantly until the rice is heated and the grain of rice are separated and mixed evenly with the mixture. Add in the deep fried dried shrimps and mix well.

5. Season with salt.

3. Good quality of white wine (drinking wine is preferred)
4. Diced onion
5. Spaghetti
6. Egg yolk

While bacon is almost cooked, add the onion and sweat them

When the onions become tender, add in the white wine, to enhance the sweatness flavour of the onion, maintain low level of heat and ensure it's on low level boiling point

Now add the single cream, with pinch of salt.

Cook the spaghetti, make sure it's rawer than the al-dente because when you're mixing them in with the white sauce, the noodles would absorb the sauce.

When the onions become tender, add in the white wine, to enhance the sweatness flavour of the onion, maintain low level of heat and ensure it's on low level boiling point

Cook the spaghetti, make sure it's rawer than the al-dente because when you're mixing them in with the white sauce, the noodles would absorb the sauce.

Wow! looks great! will be sure to try it out. I've never tried cooking with wine coz I've always thought it's odd to have a weird grape aftertaste in our dishes.

Would be more awesome if you added a lil bit of thyme and button mushroom drool.gif

Hmm anyone has an easy-to-do authentic carbonara with egg yolk only?

quality wine is the key to it, which doesn't leave odd aftertaste ! if you've added too much, the taste would become...bitter ! a delicate balance !

i like simple carbonara, with just the bacon & white sauce; nonetheless, button mushroom and thyme are good in complimentaring ! some would prefer flat leaf parsley

Hm...... I've always thought cream is essential in making carbonara......i look up on me recipe books...all of them would need cream...if you happen to find only the egg york version, share it here too !

i'm impressed with your pesto pasta too.....i do make pesto sauce a lot myself, added onto the grilled salmon, it's heaven wub.gif

Jamie Oliver's Carbonara didn't use cream. Only egg yolks. I have his cookbook. Need to double check first. Stay tuned.

@panda00,

Why so lazy to chop onions. Can practise and improve your knife skills. sweat.gif

@vey99,

Confirmed, it is not called Carbonara. But he called it Oozy Cheesy Sauce. Jamie Oliver used 250ml Crème Fraîche, 160g Sliced Fontina or other nice melting cheese, 150g freshly grated Parmesan Cheese, 2 large free-range or organic egg yolks and a bunch of fresh marjoram, oregano or thyme leaves smile.gif

Errr......time saving eh...... I hardly have time to cook due to work ! heh....i know, it's an excuse..... tongue.gif hm......sometimes I even use....the blender or electrical chopper to get the really finely chopped effect....... doh.gif

Hm, creme fraiche, is a type of soured cream......I don't think it would do the justice, I mean carbonara without cream isn't carbonara, but cheese sauce like what you said, more of the american style too. I've gone through me italian cookbooks......unable to find any without using the cream rclxub.gif

but my gf is melay sometime and its not suited to cooked with arak. any substitute or flavour enhancer?
i am sure its tasty wif the ingredients in. but it looks rather "white"... would a few drops of kicap pekat spoil it?

By the time the food is cooked the alcohol is also negligible. Whist I respect your gf preference, do be aware by the time the food is cooked the alcohol is almost negligible which is far less than those in Chilli and Tomato sauce.

Thanks! When i'm free i'll post up my all-natural bolognaise (no canned stuff)

So you add red wine to bolognaise and white wine to creamy carbonara right?
Gordon Ramsay-style Scrambled Eggs
I did it exactly like how he did it on youtube, but with less butter(health's sake hehe), milk instead of creme fraiche and I used induction stove instead of standard stove xD
Its really creamy and smooth and requires almost no chewing.

Ingredients:
1.Unsmoked back bacon, sliced or diced
2.Single cream or double cream if you prefer creamier version
3. Good quality of white wine (drinking wine is preferred)
4. Diced onion
5. Spaghetti
6. Egg yolk
7. Salt & pepper

hmm, i dun think ur ingredients is bought in local market. cream in malaysia is damn expensive, i rather get a block of Parmesan as the cream. i mean, get a smoked bacon instead, cook it till brownish, leave it there. prepare 2 egg yolks as well, and when the spaghetti is well cooked, rinse the water and put in the egg yolk asap, mix it around and add the shredded cheese. and lastly, mix with the bacons. i think this basic carbonara is much easier and tastier right? biggrin.gif and less ingredient too.

Top quality parmesan costs more than a small tub of single cream. sweat.gif £8.99 v.s. £0.79

Hm...... and bacon can be unsmoked or smoked, price will not differ greatly. The reason I got unsmoked as I don't want it to be too salty Er..... I think you can find all these in tesco in Malaysia......

Too many ingredients ? Err.....hm....just additional the cream, onion & wine...... hmm.gif

These ingredients are easily available in any market, in the UK. smile.gif

Slow-grilled Duck Breast
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Marinade the breast overnight with honey, olive oil, crushed garlic, salt and pepper, and rosemary
Grill the breast at about 110degreecelcius for 1hour(supposedly use tea-smoke pouch to smoke it but duno where to find)
Let the breast to cool to allow it to distribute the juice evenly after cooking.
Slice em up thickly.
Serve with sweet sauces like peach/mango accompaniments.

If you want crispy skin, pan fry it skin down until golden brown(dont need to add oil since the fat of the duck will cook itself ^^ and save the duck fat for roasting potatoes drool.gif )
Then chug it into the oven and grill for 6minutes at 190C(depending on the doneness you desire)

The problem with it is it is still tough and rough eventhough it is about medium doneness. I can't seem to do it like the chefs where the meat is so smooth and tender.
Could it be due to the type of duck used?

if you want tender meat you got to cook it longer , cook it at 90 degree for 4hours . make sure u submerge it into the duck's fat itself . this method is to make duck confit lol . before you put it into the oven , slice some garlic and bruised some thyme or any other aromatics into the fats. drool.gif drool.gif

Wah that Soy Sauce chicken looks yummy *drool*

Anyway I tried to cook up a beef stew last night! Main problem is the meat was tender but dry. Any ideas why and how to un-dry? It was basically just brown beef in pan, then dump everything else in + half bottle of wine + a bit of stock then simmer for half an hour.

thanks smile.gif

Your stew looks great too ! There are few reasons why meat could go dry, commonest are,

1. Meat has been seasoned with salt prior to browning
2. High heat while cooking, therefore slow cooking for hours is the best
3. Cut of meat, has too little fats. Although in making stew, we tend to use tough leanest meat

Hope this helps

Did you marinade your beef? The last time I made stew, I marinated my beef and coated it with flour to seal the taste. It worked.

Panda00

The fried rice looks good! The soy sauce chicken, do you just let the sauce dry itself out? The end product seems to have thick gravy?

Also, I'm surprised you use salt instead of soy sauce for the fried rice?

Hey Geminist ! Yeah, let the sauce reduce on its own. It's overdone this time for various reasons ! I was cooking other dishes too ! it wasn't gravy actually, it is something, err.... similar to the sauce you use for chicken rice ? smile.gif It's more like, err..glazing wink.gif

Yes.. salt is more than enough to season and flavour, hence the healthier version !

err....just use usual salt instead of rock sea salt. After adding salt, stir and ensure flavour's there. And I know majority would prefer soy-sauce however the original egg fried rice....would just use salt, not even sesame oil smile.gif This is just my version of fried rice, one can always modify to suit one's palate drool.gif

small note: using soy sauce actually would risk burning the rice, in addition...resulting in chunks.....because it all sticks ........that's my experience......

Oh, I've not had problems with soy sauce before and I actually prefer the taste it brings when mixed into rice.

The chicken, what I meant was like a sticky/dry and thick sauce. I guess it must be the sugar that gives it that sort of texture? I think I still have some brown sugar left so I might give this a try some time!

wow...all cooking fried rice~~~~
belacan fried rice looks yummy,but why need to add water? Isn't that would make the rice sticky?
and also, the shrimp paste don't need to tumis until fragrant before adding wet ingredients?

at home we use belacan granules, coz it's easier...no need tumis or roasted beforehand

This is the ice cream i made last week, but have no time to load into the PC.
This is the first time i'm trying, i googled for recipe & most of it contain egg yolk (my aunt no take egg), and also required an ice cream maker
So in the end...i just gave up following the recipe...i simply hantam on my own.



Ice Cream

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Ingredients:
A. Greentea: 250ml thick cream, 500ml low fat milk, 3 sachets (2g each) greentea powder, 3tbsp icing sugar
B.Passionfruit: pulp of 3 fully ripen passionfruits, 250ml thick cream, 500ml low fat milk, 3tbsp icing sugar





» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


1. Blend the passionfruit pulp till fine. Dissolve the greentea powder with very little hot water, and set aside.





» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


2. Mix sugar and cream until smooth, add milk and paasionfruit/greentea, mix well. Put in the feezer and let it set.





» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


3. When the mixture is about 70% set, take it out and beat it with a electronic beater. Then put it back to the freezer. Repeat the steps 3 times.
(that's why it's better to have a ice cream maker, save up a lot of time and work T_T)





user posted image

4. The ice creams are set, after the 3rd freeze-beat-freeze.









Result:


user posted image

Decorated with butter cookie for passionfruit i/c, and a bed of red bean for greentea i/c
read bean paste: canned red kidney bean, mashed.



N/B:
1. The passionfruit is a lot creamier than the greentea, i have no idea why, i put exactly the same amount of cream & milk for both. Maybe next time I'll try it with whole milk instead of skim.

2.And also the greentea is not strong enough, maybe i should ad 5 sachets instead of 3.

wow...all cooking fried rice~~~~
belacan fried rice looks yummy,but why need to add water? Isn't that would make the rice sticky?
and also, the shrimp paste don't need to tumis until fragrant before adding wet ingredients?

at home we use belacan granules, coz it's easier...no need tumis or roasted beforehand

Fried rice the easiest, hehe. Can use a few sprinkle of water just to make it moist. You can skip it if you don't want. I'm using the shrimp paste so no need to do all that. I tried looking for granules but couldn't find it- may I know where you got it from??

Btw, your ice-cream looks delicious. Tabik you for having the patience and passion to make it, hehe. Looks very professional!

Mum is going to China on business tomorrow, so tonight I did an early Mother's Day celebration by roasting a chicken!

Nothing complicated, just rub salt & pepper on the skin, open a can of beer, drink half and sumbat the can into the cavity, and roast in the oven.

When done drain drippings into a sauce pan, add wine and reduce for the gravy.

Yeah, the whole can inside biggrin.gif ... makes the breast meat juicy and taste a bit like beer. Paint won't come off with only ~200deg C, the paint is like bonded to the can I guess.

Alternately I use a fork and poke holes in lemon and sumbat it in if cooking for muslims.

hehe i used to do that before, but slightly different. Roll lemon hard on the table to "soften" it then use a fork and poke lots of holes inside before sumbat into the cavity.

but after trying beer it's more awesome ... cos the chicken takes on the taste of the beer, different beers different taste biggrin.gif ...

@DarkNite I think Tommy means more chinese cuisine ... which even though I'm chinese I actually don't know how to cook chinese cuisine ... except maybe bakuteh haha ...

ah....not normally with tuna steak. love it to be just as bland, or rather, fresh with sprinkle of salt on top. actually the salads went well with the fish, with a little of balsamic vinegar, to enhance the flavour.


Added on June 13, 2010, 2:35 amAnother quick dinner, before the England v.s. US match begins.......

Ingredients:
1. Chicken breast
2. Cream cheese
3. Parma ham
4. Tomatoes
5. New potatoes
6. Homemade herb butter ( or you could buy at the supermarket )
7. Green beans
8. Tomatoes on vine
9. Olive oil

Method:
1. Pocketed the chicken breast, stuff some cream cheese and wrap it up with parma ham, drizzle with some olive oil
2. Put it in a baking tray, and then in the oven, on 200'C for 15 mins, along with the tomatoes
3. Boil the new potatoes, then mix it with the herb butter
4. Boil the green beans

Voila, done and ready to serve, all less than 20 mins.

The tomato in oven cooks so nicely and looks great on top of the ham-chicky roll

Well done!

That kinda scallops require marinating at least overnight because its frozen and tastes VERY bland.

For the marinade you can try

crushed crotons(crispy bread)
grated cheese
parsley
melted butter(heat)

put all in blender. then mix with scallops and put in fridge

I wonder if you could get black pudding in Malaysia ? Cause it goes best with frozen scallops.......just need to sear seasoned scallops (salt & black pepper) with butter. layered with thick slice of black pudding. If you can't find black pudding, try using chorizo.......I'm sure Malaysia has it. Purée is the most important that brings the flavours up one level ! you can consider mint & pea purée; celeriac purée or colcannon mash. Yum. I'm drooling now.......I shall cook some scallops this weekend biggrin.gif

1. For the celeriac purée
150g/5¼oz celeriac, peeled and cubed
200ml/7¼fl oz chicken stock
1 tsp curry powder
75g/2½oz butter
225g/8oz Bramley apples, peeled and cubed
salt and freshly ground black pepper

2. For the pea and mint purée
55g/2oz unsalted butter
6 spring onions, finely sliced
175g/6oz frozen peas
1 tsp golden caster sugar
300ml/½ pint vegetable stock
2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
150ml/5¼fl oz double cream
sprigs of fresh mint, to garnish
sherry vinegar, boiled until reduced by half, to garnish

3. For the colcannon mash
Boiled potatoes
Savoy cabbage
Butter
Milk
Salt & Pepper

Sure thing biggrin.gif I made some modifications to the original recipe which I found from The Star:

2 pieces of chicken breast. Original recipe calls for deboned chicken leg.

Salt and generous amount of white pepper

1 tablespoon chili powder (or enough to coat the entire chicken)

1 whole chicken stock cube, crushed

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 tablespoon orange juice ( I used Twister)

Black pepper

Cajun seasoning

2 spoons butter

1 whole onion, chopped

5-6 curry leaves

2 tablespoon ghee

½ tablespoon cumin seeds

Marinate chicken breasts with salt, white pepper, chili powder, crushed chicken stock, orange juice, sesame oil, cajun seasoning and black pepper. Let it marinate for about 30 minutes or longer.

Turn on the oven, butter up the foil and leave the chicken in for 25 minutes or until brown on both sides.

Fry onions, curry leaves and cumin seeds in 2 tablespoons of ghee until aromatic and soft. Dish it out and arrange on top of meat

As for the rostis, I bought the frozen ones from TMC and pan-fried it.

As for the brocolli - I boiled it in hot water until soft then removed it. I used the Prego's Herb And Cheese sauce, heated up the sauce, added in more cheese and let the brocolli simmer with the sauce.

how you cook it?

usually I simply marinate it with salt and pepper before cooks it (doesnt matter what kind of cooking method)

perhaps the chicken is not fresh. Because the chicken sold on the hypermarket usually place on the fridge there (not frozen)

No worries, let me know how it turned out  smile.gif

Post some of your cooking when you can. Mine also simple garnishing la.

Just tried it yesterday, modified the cooking style and ingredient for a bit.

I add a bit of french mustard to increase the spicy taste and I pan fried it instead of using oven (no oven at home sad.gif)

meanwhile the rosti failed. As I'm doing homemade rosti instead of instant ones.

Abit rush when pan frying it. I turned it before the bottom part get to set well. In the end it breaks and it turns out like stir fried potatoes sweat.gif

but the chicken and the onion topping turns out okay. Too bad didn't took the final product picture sad.gif

Thanks for the recipe yah Cas.

Did you marinate the chicken before cooking it?

Chinese style marinate: Sprinkle bit some oil, rub the whole chicken. Bit salt (i used sea salt in my home), rub the whole chicken. Bit cooking wine and sesame oil, rub the chicken. Put in the fridge for 1 hour before cooking.

Western style marinate: Sprinkle bit olive oil, salt and pepper, rub the whole chicken. Squeeze some lemon juice and Djion mustard to rub the chicken. Put the whole chicken into a cooking bag, covered and put in the fridge before cooking.

i guess it's not really fresh
i got the same experience b4, bought some chicken breasts from Carrefour MV...it's early in the morning, it looked really fresh...but when i got home...no matter what i cooked (soup, stir-fry), i can't get the odour away.
Don't dare to buy from them anymore

Instead of 3 apples....i actually used 4 in the end...coz the apple i had were quite small. I cut down the sugar for the tart shell too. i only used 30g.

Instead of "creaming the butter then add flour" method, i actually mix butter, sugar and flour together to form a crust like mixture, then add vanilla essense and gradually add cold water to form a dough( the usual short crust pastry method). I pressed the dough on mould, chilled it in freezer for 10mins, pricked the shell with fork before sending into the oven (to allow air to escape)

Cored the apples:

definately not fresh!.

When u purchase chicken from Hypermarket, bring it to your nose and smell whether there's odour smell (some really smell like dead chicken being left for few days). Dun just pick it up and put it in your trolley. The chicken must look pinkish colour and not pale. And pick the chicken last before you go to the cashier

If you are using the chicken for soup, I suggest you rinse it immediately & rub it with some salt. and I will normally cut off all the skin if it is for soup. Then boil a pot of hot water and blanch the chicken the boiling water. u will find lot's of scums. Then leave the chicken to cool down then keep them in the freezer if you are not using it the same day.

And if you are using the chicken for stir frying or roasting but not on the very same day, clean the chicken and marinate right away and put them in the freezer

What kind of pan you bought? Copper, stainless steel or the non-stick pan?

About the vinegar part, perhaps you can Google it. It depends what type is your pan, though hmm.gif

Use hard anodised pan
they work 99% like a non stick pan
and they dont get scratch as bad as a non stick pan
BUT
expensive....
I bought mine from US. 3 sizes for RM40++ (exclude delivery)
Malaysia.... 3 sizes for minimum RM300++

I never do anything to my new pan
but normally westerners seasoned the pan by heating a bit of oil and springkle some salt and pepper

chinese will use garlic and ginger

I used to cook using Stainless Steel pans and pots. But now, occasionally, because i've been using my Rice Cooker and Pressure Cooker to cook everything tongue.gif

By the way, Stainless Steel is Induction Safe while some Hard Anodised pan is not induction safe. It depends how you use and what you use for.

any1 knows how to make the thick Chee Cheong Fan sauce?

I just know how to make those thinner one like chinese ppl eat in Dim Sum,
Just add 4 table spoon of sugar, 2 table spoon sesame oil, 4 tablespoon of water and 4 table spoon of soy sauce and then stir well, there you have the sauce.

The sauce also can be use in chicken rice as the sauce

My all time favourite CCF is located in Penang's Genting coffee shop and according to vkeong's blog, they put peanut butter into the sauce. biggrin.gif So that might explain the 'sweety caramel' taste and the 'brown to black' coloured sauce.

I have personally tried this recipe twice. As I planned to bring this dish to a pot luck, I was a little bit worried that not many people like having coriander. But in the end, every one came to me and told me that the taste was great. Even people who do not normally take coriander thought the taste was acceptable. It only took me 15-30 minutes to grill the chicken. Very easy recipe and very tasty.

Also, I made some vietnamese sandwiches for lunch. They key is actually finding the pork sausage, and the pickled lotus roots/radish/carrots. Got to use top-quality pate & butter as spread. Not to forget handful of coriander as well. Bird eye chillies would be optional, if you like some kick drool.gif

you can buy the mee bandung sauce(a packet)from any supermarket ~~any brand you like~~and boil your pasta!~~..
Don`t add the sauce into your pasta or else it is not delicious anymore!..Bring it separatrly to your office~~~
Bring it to your office,reheat your pasta and before you reheat,sprinkle some water onto the pasta or else it will be hard after reheat~~..
and then a teaspoon(depend on how much pasta you made) of the bandung sauce and add it to your pasta~~..you can also bring some vegetable (salad/carrot) to add into your pasta~~~..it is simple and save budget~~..!

My recipe for duo of scallops

In a pan, saute some chopped chilli and garlic until they are fragrant. Take a tablespoon of fermented tofu (which can be found in most supermarts these days) and add to the pan and stir continuously until they are well mixed with the garlic and chilli.

Toss in the kang kong and stir well for a few minutes until the kang kong is cooked with a nice crunchy texture. Set aside while you prepare to do the other sauce.

Chop one pear and apple and saute them in a pan with some butter until they are soft. Add a spoonful of turmeric powder for that curry infused flavor and mix well with the fruits. Add enough chicken stock to cover the fruits.

Next, transfer to a hand blender and blitz the mixture until it is puree like. Set aside until you are about to plate the dish.

Finally, season the scallops lightly and pan sear the scallops in a pan on both sides until they are well caramelized. Just before plating, use the hand blender to blitz the apple pear mixture until there is a foamy texture.

To plate, place the kang kong first followed by the scallops and spoon some of the chilli and garlic on top and drizzle some of the remaining juices on top. On the other side, place the scallops first, then spoon some of the foam around the scallops, and garnish with some chopped coriander or parsley.

And there you have it, a beautiful plate of scallops done 2 ways!

@beeder/samantha try try try! if your'e worried about germs, use sashimi-grade salmon (cos then it would've been eaten raw anyway). But I just used normal salmon fillet bought from cold storage.

salt + suger = base ingredients for the curing process, everything else adds flavour. if you find a great ingredient combo I'll also try it biggrin.gif

Baked this last weekend, bf said he wanna eat banana cheesecake
so i google for the recipe, this is my first time trying out this recipe
the cake turned out nice, ppl who love bananas should try wink.gif


Baked Banana cheesecake

I got the recipe from the link below:

http://en.petitchef.com/recipes/baked-bana...cake-fid-278956


Ingredient:

user posted image


1. I forgot to buy digestive biscuits...so i made my own biscuit base.
using the same method as in the apple tart, but i add some sugar
and lemon rind.
-125g flour + 110g butter+dash of vanilla essence,
a spoonful of sugar, pinch of salt, rind from half a lemon
200°C until golden brown.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «



2. Mashed banana together with lemon juice. There's no lemon juice
in the original recipe, but i prefer the cake to be a bit sourish,
so i add in juice from half a lemon.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «



3.Beat cream cheese and dump in everything except the eggs.
The eggs have to beat in one by one, or else the mixture will not
come together.

Bake the cake over hot water bath. I used 200°C for 60mins.
I forgot to keep an eye on the oven, so i think it's a bit over
baked, the top is a bit too brown, and cracked.
So remember to watch the temperature, baking time should be around
50mins-60mins, depending on how's ur oven working.

Baked this last few weeks & found it it taste quite nice too. Most important it was simple & easy as ABC..

Chilled Oreo Cheesecake

Ingredients :-

Crust:
1. 120g Oreos (without cream – keep cream for filling)
2. 60g unsalted butter

Filling:
1. 250g cream cheese (basically one pack of Philadelphia cheese)
2. 70g castor sugar
3. 3-4 Oreo’s (Slightly break it into pieces)
4. 200ml whipped cream (which is 1 box) - Slightly Whipped it first
5. 1 tbsp gelatin
6. 80 ml full cream milk

Method:
1. Making crust: Crush the Oreo’s & mix in butter. (You can use a food processer to make it really very fine & powder, if not fine enough u'll end up finding the crust quite hard & not smooth after being chill).
2. Press into a round pan or cake tin. Chill in the fridge until firm. You can put it in the freezer so it chills faster.
3. Making filling:
a) Beat cream cheese & castor sugar until smooth.
b) Add whipped cream, Oreo cream & crushed Oreo’s. Beat with mixer for a while just to get the mixture a nice oreo spot of filling.
c) Heat full cream milk & gelatin in a pot. Stir constantly until boil. (Actually no need til boil, just make sure the gelatin is fully dissolved)
d) Pour the milk into the cream mixture & mix well.
4. Spread onto the crust.
5. Chill in the fridge (freezer recommended) for 3 hours.

The end result of the cake photoshoot.. Erm i do it quite simple as i lazy to decorate it.. It might not look delicious but i find it very nice & the texture are very smooth & creamy.. Ohh & please just ignore my pooh bear.. Hahaha.. Njoy !!!

Hehe.. Yup found out some recipes required 2 packs cream cheese but i made it simple as 1 pack cream cheese & 1 box of whipped cream.. but what i found out that chilled & baked cheesecake definitely have a different. Chilled was more soft just like creamy soft ais-cream while baked was more steady, hard & more fragrance. tongue.gif

@ Tommy Tan, deodorant & samantha88 :

If you guys really wanna try it 1day best if you chill it overnight, I normally do it on the night time & put it at the fridge & chill it overnight. Then on the next day i will take it out from the baking pan & chill it until evening. Coz u might find it quite soft after chilled it overnight especially for the side part but it's normally coz it not properly chill when it was inside the baking pan. So i take it out from the pan & chill it for few more hours. biggrin.gif

no way girl, i'm lousy. to me, someone who *really* cooks doesn't need to blindly follow recipes. for me I need to follow a recipe 100%. if i don't have one ingredient, i would have no idea what to do / what replacement to use / etc.

I wanna ask for induction cooker, is a non-stick saute pan or steel (not the non-stick type, the shiny metal type) pan better? I'm using a non-stick saute pan now, and after 2-3 times cooking, the non stick layer started peeling out and some even got stuck to the induction top (my whole pan is black, including the bottom of the pan). I'm using a bamboo spatula for saute.

any suggestions? I'm hoping to keep it below RM50 as I just cook simple food at home only....

Usually what temperature do you set for cooking? For me frying egg - 140-180C, meat 200C-240C. My cooker defaults at 300C but I feel my food hangus very fast at that temp sweat.gif

@snowfish you can't get good non stick pans/coatings for that budget. for rm50 might as well go normal un-non-stick pan, cos you rather have difficulty scraping off charred fish skin than to be eating bits of teflon coating in your food.

those high-end coated non stick pans are like damn expensive ... saw a sexy greenpan set the other day, wahhh frying pan rm500+++ T_T

I would recommend using hard anodized pan. it cost more than double of your budget but a good hard anodized pan can last very long.

Hard anodized pan required minimal oil usage and you can use steel/wood/silicon spatula. I would recommend using silicon spatula instead of wood or steel. Wood might leave some residue/bacteria onto the thin lines. Hard anodized pan can resist scratches from steel but why wanna risk it. Teflon as mentioned is harmful to health.

Greenpan are good for professional chef where you can fry your meat and put the whole pan into the oven. It's also hard anodized with ceramic instead of other steels.

Having a good hard anodized pan + silicon spatula = long lasting good cooking.

Urm ... that's a rather odd question to ask. I think Giant don't have cos it's fully halal. Other supermarkets will have it in the 'non-halal' section where all the pork is sold.

It's new to both of us...we use normal pan and the pan wouldn't heat up langsung

Maybe becoz we did not use the right pan, or she bought the budget induction cooker

Kneading should be done for at least 10 minutes. you can use a dough hook on a mixer to do it as well.

Oh yeah baby. Blogpost here if you want full info on how to grill it yourself. It's damn easy and makes you wonder why you need to pay 3-digit for steaks outside.

No induction cooker at home, the only time I had my hands on an induction cooker was at my bestie's house
It's new to both of us...we use normal pan and the pan wouldn't heat up langsung
in the end, we smell something burning and its from the cooker...we both broke the thing even w/o cooking once with it
Maybe becoz we did not use the right pan, or she bought the budget induction cooker

Hihi, what is cake flour n bread flour?

I like funghi pizza...always wanted to try making pizza at home
But hav bad experience kneading dough...knead until hand ache still can't achive the smooth and non sticky surface...u got tips
*
Cake flour is normal flour like soft flour .Where else bread flour is usually high gluten flour. The flour can really stretch when u make into dough.

High Gluten flour are usually for bread making including pizza bread. kneading the dough is very important.The technic inportant too. Too little flour and too much liquid will make the dough sticky. Add somemore flour is needed so that it won't be sticky.

Soft flour - cake making. You shouldn't have the stretching effect when eat them. It should taste soft & spongy.

dunno if it is considered extra large at UK

How much is the heat and baking time?

Sugar will make it rise faster and also brown the crust

Effects of Sugar

First, because it’s food for yeast, sugar alters the rate of fermentation. Up to 5 percent sugar speeds up fermentation. Over 5 percent begins to slow it down, however.

Second, it increases crust browning. This could allow a pizzeria to have a shorter bake time or a lower oven temperature. However, keep in mind that bake time must be long enough to insure full internal doneness, especially of that part of dough which contacts the sauce.

Third, it enhances flavor and aroma.

Fourth, white sugar produces a softer, whiter internal texture or crumb. This occurs because sugar delays the coagula­tion of gluten and gelatinization of starch during baking—in effect, causing the crumb to be “less baked” which, in turn, makes it more tender.

Fifth, it increases a product’s shelf life by increasing its moisture retention. For pizzas that are eaten immedi­ately, that’s of little concern.

In conclusion, each of the above conditions can be either an advantage or a draw­back depending on what you want in your dough and crust.

if you folded twice on the edge, you get thicker crust. It's a very quick pizza, go on 220'C for 15 mins, that's it. 15' is considered extra large. You can see from the pic that it's quite soft in the middle. I don't think sugar has made vast difference.

The key is kneading, and letting it rises, it requires about 1 hour and 3 quarters to double the size of the dough.

I dint fold the edges. without the sauce and toppings (which is heavy) and i poke some holes using a fork on the inner part, the dough on the side will rise up during baking.

I baked my pizza at 220C for 10-12 minutes only.

If you want to to be a bit hard on the bottom, try putting some oil on the pan before you lay the dough on it. butter can be used but it browns much faster than oil.

I only need to knead mine for 10 minutes instead of 20

Made Baked Honey Mustard Chicken Breast last night for dinner. Very easy to make...i think preparation only took about 15 mins or less.

Ingredients:
Chicken Breast
Salt & Pepper
1/2 cup of honey (or less if you don't like it to be too sweet)
1/2 cup of dijon mustard (or more if you like a bit of mustard heat)
paprika powder (few dashes)
1tsp of parsley flakes
1tsp of dried basil

Method:
1) lightly grease a pan. Pre-heat oven at 175C for 15 mins
2) To prepare the sauce - combine honey, dijon mustard, paprika, parsley flakes, dried basil. At this point, you can adjust according to your tastebud
3) Season chicken breast with salt and pepper.
4) Put chicken breast into a bowl. Pour half of the sauce into the bowl to marinade. (you can also prepare this a day earlier and let the meat soak the marinade)
5) Put the chicken breast into the greased pan and plonk them into the oven for 30 mins
6) After 30 mins, turn the chicken to the other side and you can baste some of the remaining sauce and further bake for an additional 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked.
7) Let it cool before serving it with the extra sauce.

BTW..the sauce can also be used as a salad dressing..yums!

Hehehehe...lazy bum tongue.gif. I usually like to make my own dressing...as i can control the taste that i want. I even make my own ranch or caesar dressing..the only shortcut i take is the mayo..which is usually added into the ranch or caesar dressing.

I don't use any local vege for salad..and would usually buy romaine or butterhead or ..aiya..coral salad leaves (i think).

Most beancurd skin at raw state is like paper and can be fold easily. If at raw state, it is too dry & crispy, just carefully wipe it with a clean damp cloth.

We use to make it with chicken(halal ones) for my Muslim friends but unfortunately... there were question about the bean curd skin halal-ness.

Hi Malaysianidol, thanks smile.gif Yes, you can replace the pork with chicken as I had made the same chicken roll for my pakistani colleagues. Those are fresh beancurd skins, so they are actually soft, and rolled easily. I believe back in Malaysia, you can find them everywhere, maybe in the pasar ? If you use the dry version, you will have to damp it with water, but it's very difficult from my experience as the sheets tend to tear apart.

thanks..

yes there are question about the beancurd skin halal-ness, but nowadays malay also know how to make it, that's why its not same like original i guess, that's why it is really crispy..
even when you want to take it from the container it can easily break..

and really i dont know what is the issue of beancurd skin halal-ness, i only heard about it everywhere.. maybe they put wine to make it.. i dont know..? hmm.gif

we malays always love this beancurd skin.. use in lontong... very nice wo.. rclxms.gif

hahaa.. i think the fermentation is maybe.. the sweat i think all hv that one, even roti canai mamak hv sweat all over it (seriously i dont eat at mamaks.. biggrin.gif)

i think some suspects it contain lard bcoz of that shiny2 look after it dries..
or maybe some sort alcohol or gelatin inside... hmm.gif

i think basic beancurd formation is when you boil soya milk, the top of the milk will form a layer, that will be taken as beancurd skin is it..?? blush.gif

no, it doesn't contain lard or gelatin. if it's freshly made, it's basically like what you've described, skimming off the top layer (foamy layer when boil). Otherwise my colleagues wouldn't have eaten the roll I make unsure.gif

yes, I'm not in Malaysia. Haven't been home for long time.

I think the key is the use of gelatine sheets, in appropriate amount. I have had bad experience making it, with extremely horrible texture , either too gooey or rubbery. Guess it requires fine-tuning with your own taste. Follow one cooking recipe and see if you like it, if not, go for others.

thumbup.gif this is mouth-watering, although i am never a big pud person !


Added on May 1, 2011, 9:04 amDecided to bake on such a lovely day and took it for afternoon tea at friend's.

Hybrid of between chiffon & angel cake without the frosting......as a matter of fact, it was a failed product ! haha...... but still retains lovely and fluffy texture apart from being overbaking it.

Ingredients

Mix A in a big bowl
1. 6 egg yolks (large)
2. 100g flour - sieved
3. 30g corn flour - sieved
4. 30g caster sugar
5. 50g of oil
6. 100 ml of freshly squeezed orange juice or from concentrated
7. 1/2 tsp of salt
8. 1 tsp of baking powder

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Mix B - Whip your egg white till stiff - so-called hard cliff (when you turn over your bowl, it doesn't fall on you !)
1. 6 egg white
2. 1/2 tsp of cream of tartar powder
3. 50g of caster sugar

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Fold mixture B into A then bake for 40-45 mins at 180'C. At 30mins, please check and see if the cake has risen, if it does, cover the tube pan with sheet of foil ( I didn't do that, as a result, overbaked !)

Serve with fresh fruits/whipped cream/ or make your own frosting smile.gif

The amount of time should be the same. Just like if you are frying 2 eggs using the same pan. Side by side that is

Sometimes you need a break from traditional pizza and all that red sauce. Next time you whip up a fresh batch of pizza dough, try topping it with this yummy, creamy Parmesan-Herb Pizza Sauce that's perfectly blends whipping cream and milk with parmesan and a variety of herbs for a delicious taste.
Ingredients

* 1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
* 1 garlic clove, minced
* 1 1/2 teaspoon all purpose flour
* 1/3 cup milk
* 1/4 cup whipping cream
* 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
* 2 tablespoons herb blend (use chives, tarragon, oregano, and basil)
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1. In a saucepan, heat oil and cook garlic for 30 seconds.
2. Briskly stir as you add flour. Cook an additional minute.
3. Add milk and cream, whisking until smooth.
4. Boil mixture for 1-2 minutes to thicken.
5. Add remaining ingredients and cool before adding to crust.

Just an advice, slowly add the milk by small batches to avoid lump created by the mixture of flour and oil

Tiramisu recipe
• 1-1/2 cups brewed espresso, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup brandy/marsala wine/liquor of your preference (I used Bailey)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 large egg yolks
• 2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1-1/4 cups heavy cream
• 1 pound mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
• One 7-ounce package crisp Italian ladyfingers (about 24 cookies)
• Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
• 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, scraped with a vegetable peeler to make curls

Steps to make Tiramisu

1.In a medium bowl, stir together the espresso, 3 tablespoons Bailey and the 1 teaspoon vanilla and the brown sugar; set aside. In a double boiler, beat together the egg yolks, 2/3 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup cream over simmering water until the mixture lightens in color and thickens, about 7 minutes. Transfer the insert to a larger bowl filled with ice water. Whisk until cold, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the mascarpone and the remaining 1 tablespoon Bailey until smooth.

2.Dip* half of the ladyfingers, one at a time, into the reserved espresso mixture and lay them flat in a single layer on the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Spread half the mascarpone mixture on top. Repeat with the other half of the ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

3.Using an electric mixer, beat the remaining 3/4 cup cream and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar on medium speed until stiff peaks form**. Spread the whipped cream onto the chilled tiramisu and, using a small strainer, dust the whipped cream with the cocoa. Top with the chocolate curls. Cut into rectangles.

* After reading many comments from baking forums worldwide, I believe that one of the most common problems encountered is soggy ladyfingers. It is crucial that you only dip it for only a second or less as these cookies absorbs liquid really fast. Or, if you worried that you do not have quick fingers, do what I did, take a brush, dip the brush into the espresso mix and brush it on both sides of the ladyfingers. It worked like a charm, no soggy ladyfingers!

** As it is my first time whipping cream with my electronic mixer, I screwed up the first time by over-beating it and it became butter-like *whoops*. After much research, a tip that I picked is that the utensils (albeit the mixing bowl and the beater) and the ingredient (albeit the cream) must be really chilled. It worked as I have perfect, stiff whipped cream on my second attempt!

dinner! gf cooked yesterday



anyway we've decided to cook for mum n dad for mother's day. have settled on two main courses to do (cos my dad dun eat beef).

1. grass fed rib-eye - i cooked this before, blogpost here
2. cod with miso - found the recipe off epicurious, here

maybe add on a quick caeser salad. shouldn't be too ambitious to try squeeze in appetizer or dessert ... right?

If you have an oven..i'll suggest making banana crumble (provided they like bananas). Just need bananas, flour, rolled oats, sugar, cinnamon, butter and some salt. I got the recipe from here http://www.food.com/recipe/banana-crumble-70920.


Added on May 7, 2011, 10:21 amIf you don't have individual ramekins..you can just put all into a baking tray. Then you can just scoop out into bowls and serve with vanilla ice-cream.

hey how did your black cod went? I tried the nobu style black cod in a restaurant in UK before and loved it. I read about the recipe in rasa malaysia's website, but when i make it, it turned out to be too sweet. It was a failure. I marinated it overnight, that might be the problem. and, cod fish from tesco isnt fresh to begin with, i think.

Pie dough is very hard to do

Best is use cold butter, cold flour and cold water. Try use dough mixer instead of using hand

Double confirm the dough recipe. Smetimes you need to check out the baker percentage of a few recipe to get you an idea. Smetimes some recipe is out from the norm

I tried to find also but it's not available. Bt most commonly is by removing those larger bones eg drumstick, tight bones first before cutting them to smaller portion.

Hokkien Mee  or  Prawn Mee
user posted image

Ingredients

1 kg                          medium sized prawns (get the reddish type with the big heads - 'mah ha' as they called it here)
buy as needed          kangkong
1/2 kg                      pork bones or (ketam bunga substitute for our muslim friends)
                                the soup is clearer with crabs!
buy as needed          lean pork (fish cake for our muslim friends)
600 gm (one pack)    yellow noodles
1 pack                      rice vermicelli (bihun)
300 gms                    bean sprouts
1 pack                      fried shallots ( preferbly fried your own using rose shallots, more fragrant)
1 nos.                      yam bean (sengkuang)
one lump                  rock sugar
as needed                hard boiled egg

For the sambal

250 gms                  chilly paste (chilly boh)
1 small pkt              chilly powder
2 small slices          'belacan'
100 gms                  dried shrimp (har mai)
to taste                    sugar
to taste                    salt
to taste                    MSG (if you want)

First prepare the sambal. Grind the dried shrimp in a dry blender (I don't know what that thingy is called) and roast the belacan till fragrant. Put 250 gms. cooking oil in the wok. Cook the grinded dried shrimp till fragrant and add in the belacan. Add in the chilly boh and stir continously and then add the chilly powder. The chilly powder will give the sambal a nice red colour. Lower the heat and stir occasionally so as not to let it get burnt. Cook until a layer of oil forms on the surface. Add in 2 tbsp. of sugar and a dash of MSG. Then add salt to taste.

Heat up water (amount as desired) in a stock pot. When the water boils put in the prawns. Once the prawns surface to the top, scoop up the prawns.Leave aside the prawns. Add the peeled and sliced thickly yam bean and pork bones (or ketam bunga) and let it boil on high heat. Peel the prawns and put put the peeled prawns into the fridge. In another wok, heat up oil. Scoop 3 ladle ful of the sambal and fry the prawn shells and heads in it. Fry on high heat till really cooked, almost burnt. Transfer everything into the boiling stock. Let it boil and lower the heat when it boils and boil for one and half hours. Add MSG, sugar and salt as desired. Add in the sambal till you get the desired taste. Before shutting off the heat cook the lean pork or pork ribs if you wish and take it after it is cooked.

Scald the noodle, bihun, kangkong and bean sprout and put it into a bowl. Garnish with prawns, sliced lean pork and pork ribs (or sliced fish cake) and hard boiled egg. Pour the soup over and add in the fried shallots.

Enjoy.

ps.For most hawker, they will grind the fried prawn heads and shells to extract the most out of them but it will cloud the soup  rclxms.gif

Actually very hard to explain without graphics. I have notice that even chicken rice sellers chopped it differently. For home consumption, I think how we chop is not important but how we present is more important. As for commercial, it is important as it will determine the profits for the operator. I will describe very briefly with my own graphic.

From a chicken we can have 2 plates of drumstick rice - RM5.50 x 2 , 2 plates of thigh meat ( Kai yee tou )- RM4.50 x 2 , 2 plates of shoulder meat ( kai pui chek also sometimes serves as kai yee tou ) - RM4.50 x 2 , 2 plates of chicken wing rice ( kai yik ) - RM4 x 2 and from the two portions of chicken breast and the two fillets, we can divide it into 5 plates of chicken breast rice (kai huung yuk fan ) - RM4.00 x 5 . Altogether a total of 13 plates if totals up comes to RM57.00 per chicken of 2kgs. This includes the fragrant rice, the chilly sauce, the ginger sauce, the soup, rental labour which actually does not amount to much profit.

user posted image

Slit the chicken at the centre of breast and then chop as near as the backbone as possible to divide the chicken into two. Cut the backbone out and discard. Take one side of the two halves and cut the wing out with a little breast attached. Cut out the drumstick but leave the thigh attached to the carcass. Divide the remaining lenghtwise separating the breast meat from the shoulder and thigh parts. Now take the breast meat and pull it apart from the bone. Dig out the fillet attached to the bone. Flatten the fillet a bit and chop. Pick up the chopped m,eat with your cleaver and place it on the plate. Slice the breast meat into to portions to thin out the meat. Chop the portion without the skin first and as before place the meat neatly on top of the fillet. Now chop the skinned portion and also place it neatly on top of the former portion.

Chop up the other half in the same way and now you have all the breast meat in the cneter of the plate. Then chop the thigh and shoulder section equally and also arrange it at the side of the breast meat. There's a bone in the center of the thigh that needs to be taken out because usually there's still blood here. Chicken is 90 percent cooked to be perfect. Do the same on the other side and then lastly chop up the wings and place it at the side. Try to arrange the chicken las where their parts should be, sometimes even the head in some festival meals. Garnish with chopped spring onions, coriader leaves and julienne red chillies.

Then buy a regular/conventional oven. Grilling and baking needs this kind of oven, not a microwave.

I find multi function ovens, (Panasonic even has steaming functions) not really functionable!!! laugh.gif

In microwave/convection ovens, the color of the cake never comes out right, you can but you have to experiment with the settings and all the recipes get haywire. In conventional ovens, you just have to readjust your oven temperature with times in the recipes and that is for once only because by that time you will understand the characteristics of your own oven. If you are really serious about baking, I suggest getting those stand alone ovens (as said by a forummer earlier). Europa is now on their own after splitting from Zanussi but both perform OK.

I have a Zanussi but the wattage is 3.5KWs and I have to change the ELCB to handle the wattage. But favourable point is the temperature is stable and heats up fast. The others I have seen is about 2.2KWs only. Suprisingly my friend's Singer is quite OK, a variation of Europa actually. Off course if you can afford, get those by Fagor and Indesit, but they are mostly built in types. Don't go for Butterfly though.

IMHO I rather pay RM1500 for a conventional oven and spend another RM300 for a microwave oven separately. What do you use a microwave for usually? Heating, defrosting and Maggi mee, laugh.gif

Zanussi today is not the same as 2 decade ago. Their product suxs! Europa is much better and durable.

I use the Panasonic NN-CD997S (SHARP version is better but alas they no more in production) to bake & roast also.
I find that it bakes cookies and brownies better than the normal oven.

If I have lots & lots of money, I would go and grab Rational CombiMaster CM 61E (IKEA use this)

It's quite common. It's available in most baking sections of hyper market. I think most of them are repacked in those transparent throw away tupperwares. It's white in colour. wink.gif

thanks etigge. Have you tried using shortening...does it make the pastry or cake or cookies have a funny taste? Coz there's feedback on the recipe using shortening.

Shortening has the same quality as margarine or butter and in pastry or cake baking, it serves the same purpose. The taste will differ though from ewach other and off course real butter will be the best tasting ones. Some are vegetarian therefore the need for shortening.

"Shortening is a type of solid fat that is made from vegetable oils, such as soybean and cottonseed oil. Shortening seems to get its name from the fact that it shortens gluten strands in wheat by adding fat. Since it is 100%, as opposed to the 80% fat content of butter or lard, it results in a very tender baked good. It is frequently seen in baking recipes, although it is rarely used in other areas of cooking."

Anyone tried cooking Korean glass noodles at home? biggrin.gif

I tried making them last week; this is my recipe:
1) Cabbage
2) Carrot and bell pepper (or known as capsicum too)
3) Onions and Garlic.
4) Bacons! I tend to include this in most dishes just because I love the taste of smoked bacon. Sorry Muslim friends lol you can use other meats as well!
5) Shitake mushrooms.
Why I used shitake mushrooms instead of any other type of mushrooms is because it taste better with glass noodles,my mom always used this even with Chinese glass noodles. The texture blends well together.
6) Glass noodles!

Basically the same as local 'tang hoon' except they are made coarser hence the bite is crunchier and you can bite into it rather than slurping straight down the throat. laugh.gif The dry raw ingredient seems darker in colour and this is due to the purity of rice flour, so I guess their taste should be better. They are expensive though. Can be found in Korean village in Ampang.

Shortening nowadays can get at any bakery stores. There are a lot of bakery stores that you can go.
Or Giant also sell shortening,just look at the shelf.Not only Crisco but there are a lot of shortening brand there.Where do u stay actually?

I've done the red velvet cake. My recipe did not use shortening as i follow my friends recipe.It is indeed an easy cake to do
just like chocolate cake just a lil bit red coloring in there.
Still taste awesome but u should give a try with the shortening and tell us about it.

simple choc molten lava cake recipe here

Ingredients (4 - 5 servings depending on ramekin size):

6 oz. Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate (or use your favorite 70% dark chocolate bar)
6 oz. Butter (diced, room temperature)
3 Eggs
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1/3 cup Flour
Some butter for the ramekins

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (200C)

2. Melt chocolate on low flame in ala bain-marie (double boiler). When melted, take of flame.

3. Stir into melted chocolate diced butter, until it melts.

4. In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar, until it starts to whiten.

5. Stir in melted chocolate and then the flour.

6. Butter 4-5 individual ramekins generously (you don't want your cake to be stuck if you intend to remove from the ramekin before serving, of course, another alternative is to serve it in the ramekin in itself), and pour in chocolate batter, until slightly about an centimeter from the top (leave a lil space as it will souffle up slightly)

6. Cook for about 10 minutes. You will know it’s done, when it looks cake-like on the top, but as you give it a lil jiggle, it is still wobbly.

7. Tip ramekins upside down onto dessert plates and serve. Use a knife and run along side if you find it difficult to nudge it out.

8. Voilà! Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Or eat it on it's own, warm from the oven!

You need cooking chocolate to start with. Then you add milk, sugar, cream or whatever you wish to personalised your creations. You can find the cooking chocolates in baking shops, either normal, white or bitter. There are 2 shops on the same row in Taman Megah, PJ. It is on the same row ( last row ) as Fatty Crab (now I don't know what the crab is called laugh.gif )

You can also make Power Bars yourself, they sell dried apricots, muesli, sunflower seeds etc there too. hmm.gif
