Triple C (Cheddar Cheese Cake)


Ingredients : 4 pcs cheddar cheese, 3 eggs (seperate yolk), 100ml milk (full cream better), 50g sugar, 50g butter, 50g flour, 1/4 tsp tartar powder





1. Melt cheese, butter in the milk. Double boil in the pan, do not put in on direct heat, will burn the butter.
After everything dissolved, leave heat and set aside t cool down.




2. Seperate egg white from yolk, add tartar powder.


mix with low speed for few second, until you see big bubbles like in the pic above.


add half of the sugar and continue beating with medium speed, until you see smaller bubbles like in the pic above.

7. Pour the batter into a 20cm mould, put the mould over the hot bath.
This is to retain the moisture of the cake while baking.



8. Bake in a preheated oven, 150-170°C, 50-60mins. Prick the cake with a toothpick to check whether it's fully cook.
If it's cook, toothpick is clean when pull out.




9. Cool the cake upside down to prevent it from sinking.





And the final result:



yummy, decorated with homegrown mulberries

TQ. I did a lot of things with this tiny oven.
Will try to show more recipe in the future (when i'm not feeling lazy )

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.

Since CNY is just around the corner, the next recipe I would like to try out is Bak kua ^^

But have to wait till next weekend, this weekend I'm away

popcorn, sushi

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.

Hihi~~~~
made Bak Kua today, it's my first time

Bak Kua


Ingredient: 600g minced meat, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp MeiGui Lu (chinese rose wine), 3 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp honey,
1/2 tbsp oil, 1/4 tsp five spice powder






1. Mix everything in the same direction.





2. Spread the meat on a tray and dry under hot sun, until the meat is 70% dry.





3. Cut into squares & bake in preheated oven, 130-150°C for 10mins, then 180°C for another 10-15mins (or until brown).



Result:

I tried it with pork slices too


Result:



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

Then i made cheesecake cheese squares too
Was suppose to make cheesecake, since i have 2 pieces of cream cheese, but last minute decided to use one piece for cheese squares and the other one for cream cheese jelly.



Strawberry cheese squares


Ingredient: 150g oreo biscuit( w/o the cream), 75g butter, 250g cream cheese, juice of 1 1/2 lemon, strawberries cut into cubes, sugar enough to taste, a bit of lemon rind




1. to make the biscuit base, crush the biscuit into crumbs, add the melted butter, mix well and press it firmly on the mould, put into freezer to let it set.




2. The beat the cream cheese until soft n creamy, add in lemon juice and beat well. Add sugar bits by bits and adjust the sweetness to your own liking. Add in lomon rind n strawberries. Mix well.


3. Pour the cheese mixture onto the biscuit base and chilled over night.


Result:

my cream cheese jelly....phailed....but still very yummy
a bit cacat-ed
but ok lar for first timer...hehehe

the ingredients: 250g cream cheese, 5g konyaku jelly, pinch of malic acid, 400ml water, juice of half a lemon, sugar enough to taste, strawberry cubes

1. Beat cream cheese until soft n creamy, add lemon juice, beat well, add sugar to the sweetness of yout own liking, add strawberry cubes, set aside. (important that this mixture is not too cold, best is to be in room tempreature)


2. Boil 400ml of water, then add the konyaku jelly powder and stir till dissolve. Off the heat, add in acid n stir well.

3. Pour the jelly solution into the cheese mixture gradually, and stir well.

4. Quickly pour the the jelly mixture into moulds n set aside to cool, and later chilled in the fridge.

but I iz no haz siham for u

sad sad...look ugly only, but taste yummy

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

I dun like the cream, normally i throw it away
but for this cake, the beat the cream together with the cheese, it's like the substitute to the sugar.

next time when i cook again lor

Thanks...hehehe
your chicken chop looks very appetizing too
