Chocolate Chips Oats Cookie - tips

the batter for this cookie is soft...to avoid my fingers getting sticky and messy in order to make a ball......i used piping bag ...or plastic bag. this method really speed things up.....

in here..i piped the dough....then arranged the chocolate button and the MM on top....he he he ...just to make sure that every cookie has the same number of choc button and one MM....he he he...actually the MMs was limited....so to be fair ...only one MM per cookie.... in this version...the choc button was hidden ........

this version...try to hide the choc button....and pecan to be on top and centered....

Tenggiri masak taucu

ini masak taucu style saya......
(resepi bawah nih anggaran lebih kurang saje tu...)

- Ikan tenggiri dalam 3-4 keping . ikan nih dilumur garam dan tepung jagung dan digoreng (kalau beli se ekor mintalah potong mamak so ikan tu akan berbentuk tiga segi. so potong lagi. so jadi lah macam tiga segi kecil atau saya panggil 'macam kuib' he he he. pastikan tebalnye lebih kurang 1 inci. untuk resepi ini gunalah 12 kiub ikan nih)

.

Bahan tumisan. (bahan tumbuk)
- 3 biji bawang kecil
- 2 biji bawang putih
- 1 inci halia
- 10 biji cili api
- 2 biji cili merah - cili merah nih tumbuk kasar saje

Bahan hirisan
- 1 biji bawang besar
- 2 inci halia, potong cara julienne (macam matchstick)
- 2 biji bawang putih

- 1 cili merah, 1 cili hijau

Bahan perasa
- 2 sudu besar taucu, ditumbuk supaya lumat sikit taucu tu
- 1/4 cawan air asam jawa. ( boleh juga guna cuka, 2 sudu besar)
- 2 sudu sos tiram - ini secret recipe saya
- garam dan gula secukup rasa
- 1 sudu kecil tepung jagung dicampur dgn 1/2 cawan air

.
Cara-caranye.

1. tumis bahan tumbuk hingga wangi

2. masukkan bawang putih hiris, tumis sebentar

3. masukkan taucu, sos tiram dan air asam (atau cuka) ..masak sebentar

4. masukkan bancuhan tepung jagung, garam dan gula...masak sebentar

Puding Tauhu versi 2

Puding Tauhu nih dah jadi favourite family. since raya dah buat 5 kali....so resepi tuh pun dah di modified so nak jadikan nye simple je....
____________________________________________________
ari tu buat lagi puding ni. tapi puding ni very soft lah pulak. agaknye dulu2 tu pakai agar2 weighted more than 20 gram and adjusted manually the agar2 nye kot... now with 20gram, the recipe need to be adjusted.
____________________________________________________
20 gm agar2 tali
GULA 1 cawan   3/4 cawan
AIR : 4 liter + 1 cawan (250 ml)    3.5  to 3.75 liter
-- panaskan hingga mendidih dan agar-agar hancur.  kecilkan api .

1 tin susu cair
1 tin susu pekat
-- campur kedalam adunan agar-agar . masak sekejap
-- tapis dan masukkan kedalam bekas. sejukkan.

-- bila nak di hidang, letaklah buah-buahan dalam tin; furit cocktail, peaches, longan , laici, nata de coco etc .
sedap bila di hidang sejuk.

ini buat dalam bekas bertutup sebab nak bawa balik ke rumah emak....

Kuih Bakar Pandan

Kuih bakar...a traditional malay kuih...also known as kuih kemboja.

this kuih bakar has been requested by aqilah few years back (may be three years back)...i have bought then the two small flower shaped mould pans....

last night i managed to bake this kuih....why last night? nanti i cerita kat bawah...he he he.

and aqilah said to me....'mummy, aqilah dah minta kuih nih dah bertahun-tahun...baru dapat makan mummy buat'....ha ha ha....

this kuih bakar is so popular in Terengganu ......the extreme case is the kuih akok.... so this kind of kuih is the family favorites....but i have no interest in the making...ha ha ha....

i got the recipe from the internet....banyak blog guna recipe yang sama je...he he he...

KUIH BAKAR PANDAN

- 1 cup sugar ( i added additional 2 tablespoon..so to get the more crumble crust...)

- 1 cup pandan juice ( blend 10 pandan leaves with water . tips from a cousin: you must use a lot (more than 10, maybe 20,30.... in order to get a rich green color)

- 2 cups plain flour

- 1/2 tsp salt

- 3 eggs -( i used 5 eggs now)

- 500 ml coconut milk ( i used two 200ml coconut milk carton plus 100 ml milk. )

- 2 tablespoon melted butter

- sesame seeds for decoration on top ( no stock, so not used)

- you can use raisin also for decoration (my arwah nenek dulu2 tuh buat....ini consider special lah nih)

METHOD

- mix everythings in a blender....and filtered.

- put some oil in the mould and heat it up in the hot oven first . once hot, pour in the batter.

- top it with the sesame seeds....( i skip this)

- i managed to get 4 kuih bakar....

- baked in 175 degree celsius oven for 90 minutes....aduh...lama nye...

COMMENTS:

- taste wise is nicer, much nicer than the bought one.

- but texture like, i like the crust from the traditional baking ....with charcoal and coconut husk.....

.

picture from internet search...

this is another recipe from the internet search which is from Terengganu.

- 8 helai daun pandan
- 1 liter santan
- 400 gram gula ( 1 cawan = 240 gm, ini kurang dari 1 3/4 cawan, atau make it 2 cawan )
- 400 gram tepung ( 1 cawan = 120 gm, ini 3 1/3 cawan)
- 6 biji telur
-> kisar daun pandan dengan sedikit santan dan tapis
-> satukan semua bahan dan tapis
-> bakar dalam bekas macam akok tuh....cara tradisi.

COMMENT....
macam dua kali resepi kat atas tuh....tapi kurang tepung..mungkin sebab tak ada extra water tuh....

CERITA
macam-mana boleh nak masak kuih nih?....
- i have a left over fresh pumpkin....so thinking to make kuih bakar labu.....but on the second thought only me and hb will eat this kuih...so since i was thinking on kuih bakar so might as well i cuba buat kuih bakar pandan...

- and since aqilah, once in a while, keep asking when i will make her this kuih bakar ... so proceedlah....
- pumpkin, then, i have to think what to do with it...which i ended up making pumpkin cake... ..

.

Pumpkin

the other day i bought small pumpkin so made masak lemak labu with prawn...chef wan recipe...(http://www.asianfoodchannel.com/bestwan/viewrecipe.php?id=48) i nak pedas...so letak gaklah cili api tumbuk....so the smell of fresh kunyit from kunyit hidup and daun kunyit....so nice, so fragrance...boleh buat lagi.... i masak untuk dinner...siap je terus makan...so tak ada gambar. NOTE: labu nih masa nak kopek buang kulit, dan potong2 tu...rasa keras juga kulit dan isi tuh...tapi bila masak, api kecil je tuh, cepat je masak dia..... from that small pumpkin i only cooked half for the masak lemak. so the other half has been in the fridge for almost one week already. so this morning i made pumpkin cake....so many recipes in the internet but i chose a simple one....the recipe is ok...may be next time nak alter lagi....

PUMPKIN CAKE
A.
2 cups sugar ( i used 1 3/4 cups brown sugar)
1 cup oil ( i used 250 gm butter, melted , this is equivalent to 1 cup)
4 eggs, slightly beaten 1/2 tsp salt

B. 2 cups flour ( i used 2 1/2 cups flour)
2 tsp bikarbonate of soda 1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

C. 2 cups mashed pumpkin. you can steam and mashed. ( from my leftover pumpkin i only got 1 1/2 cups only)

D. 1 orange peel ( i added) 2 tbsp orange juice (i added) 1/4 cup raisin ( i added) 1/2 cup walnut chunk ( i added)

INSTRUCTION.
- melt the butter in a heavy pot, pour in the sugar...mix thru. let it cool a bit.
- mix in the eggs and salt. mix well - add in the raisin, mashed pumpkin, orange peel and juice, stir well
- sifted B and add in into the butter mixture.... - pour into a pan and sprinke walnut on top
- bake in the 175 degree celcius oven for 45 to 60 minute or more until cook.

 

- serve with cream cheese topping....

 

COMMENTS:
1. the texture of the cake is ok...with the crumble look. the taste, surprisingly not so sweet...i cannot smell the pumpkin....the smell of cinnamon also was not there (maybe mine was no longer a fresh one).

2. i thought 2 cups sugar is sweet. since i used brown sugar ( not so sweet as compare to white sugar), i should maintain 2 cups still.

3. earlier the mixture looked so liquid, so i added another 1/2 cup flour... next time i want to try adding 1/4 cup only.... will it still look like a cake ....or a puding? ( if i used 2 cups pumpkin, then maintain 2 1/2 cup flour. if i used 1 1/2 cup pumpkin, try 2 1/4 cup flour....)

4. i like to use butter in my cake....the butter i used is not 100 percent butter. it is a combination of palm oil and milk cream (Buttercup Brand)....so oklah ...should have the lemak2 taste...

5. i baked in two loaf pans....next time to bake in bigger but shallow pan .......
