Pulut Serikaya

2010-08-13T14:54:00.004+10:00

I've been searching for this recipe for quite sometime. And most of the time, I found the same recipe as from the source below. My comment - got the wanted taste and texture, but not the look. The bottom part is to thick while the topping is to thin. I will definately use this recipe again with some modification -might reduce the glutinous rice to 1 cup and use smaller mould (6X6). I will get it equally then.

Homemade puff pastry

2010-03-30T15:59:00.030+11:00

I was eagerly wanted to make a homemade puffpastry since I have not found the big size of it in our market. In Sydney, they are selling it about the same size as A4. But here, the biggest size I'd found is 4X4 inches.

It isn't that hard as thought. Steps to be taken is just 'rolling, folding and resting'. The entire process of making it takes around 1.5 to 2 hours for small portion, but large volume may take about 6 hours.

Here is the recipe in detail:

500 gm flour
Pinch of salt
Pinch of cream tartar
1 egg
50gm butter - for dough
200gm cold water.
375gm margarine pastry - for laminating

Sieve together the flour, salt and cream tartar. Then add in the butter with rubbing method, to get a breadcrumb-like tecture. Remember, not to use your palm when you rubbing in the butter, but make a small pinch with your finger. Later, pour in the egg and cold water. Combine and knead to form a soft dough. Do not over work with it.
Wrap the dough with cling wrap, let it rest in refrigerator for 15 minutes. It is ready for laminating after rested.
Sprinkle the working surface with flour if necessary. Start the laminating by rolling the dough into a rectagular shape, approximately 1cm thick. Then cover 2/3 of the dough with the margarine pastry as in the picture 1A.
Bring the uncovered surface (1/3 of the dough) to the midle, and fold in another end, as in the picture 1B. Seal the edges if necessary. This is to avoid the fat from coming out while rolling it.
Again, roll the dough into rectangular shape and fold it as in the picture 2A and 2B. Wrap with cling wrap and rest it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. It is now done with the first fold.
Continue with the second fold. Roll it again into rectangular shape, as in 2A. And fold like a small book and in picture 3A, 3B and 3C. Rest it in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Continue with the third fold (last). Roll into rectangular and fold as in picture 2A and 2B. It is ready for use after rested in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. Picture 4 and 5 is the ready-to-use puff pastry.

Salam.

Hey all, I'm back here with my 1st posting from Malaysia. I have settled down earlier, couple weeks ago, but I was just not in the mood of blogging. I myself dont understand what has led me to became so ignorant to my own blog. Kenapa ehhh..I'm not working anymore at the moment, thus I should be free for this. Well, few times I sat and tried to surf the net, but the internet connection here is just suckssss, so I just buried my semangat away..and kept ignored my blog, kesiannnnn...

We are now on one of the broadband provider, the performance alahaiiiiiii nak cerita pun malasss. We've applied for the Strymix, but the company said..'sorry, kat tempat Encik takde line'. I was like, what???? It sounded like we are now living in the very uluuuu place kan. Padahal we are just next to USM ni je haaaa. So, nak tak nak, have to lahh, stay aje laa with this broadband. But then, sampai bila pulak kannn I nak ignore my blog kesayangan niiii, kalau nak tunggu strymix..alamatnyerr tak update pulak blog ni nanti..

Well..Im gearing up my baking mood with this lovely trio marble cake. Check out the recipe from Myresipi.com ehhhh and also form my previous entry. daaaa..

Pau (steam bun)

2009-11-05T10:16:00.004+11:00

I am no longer 'performing' from my ussual kichen, where I had normally prepared food/took pictures for this blog. I left the house 2 weeks ago and now transit somewhere else before we sign off from Sydney for good. I left my job as well since last monday, and now I became soooo free for blogging. My routine since then is taking care of our 'Nina' as well as sitting in front of my laptop doing nothing hhehehehe.

I found few pictures of my cooking in my C drive. Those pictures were taken weekssss ago when I was sooo busy with packing and sending our stuffs to Malaysia, and some were taken during my confinement, which was nearly 4 months agooo hehehhehe, banyang kan lah!

So this Pau is one of it! Talking about this Pau, I just fallen in love with this recipe. I was like kena curse before this. Whenever I tried any pau recipe, it didnt turn out well all the time. Sometime terkecut la, sometime terkeras laa, but this one, wallaaaa! The picture tells i guess..

All I like about this recipe is, it does not require specific measurement. Just agak2 aje ok...

2-3 cups bread flour
** 1 tablespoon sugar
**1 heap teaspoon yeast
** 50 ml warm water
sufficient water to form dough
2 table spoon vege oil
1 and half teaspoon vinegar

Mix ingredients marked with **. Disolve sugar and let it sit for a while until yeast looks breezing.
Pour mixture 1 into flour. Mix it.
Add in vinegar, oil.
Add in water little by little and form a dough.
Knead to get elastic/smooth dough. What I did, I jut put them into my bread maker and let it do the job.
When it ready, filling as u like. Sit it for while.
Pour few spoons vivegar in the water when steaming. Steam in preheated steamer for 10 - 12 minutes.

Talam Tepung Beras

2009-06-20T09:48:00.003+10:00

I made it again. Really love the taste of it, and as promised..i scaled all the ingredients, and will put up the metriks measurement here. This is originally from Ayu's mum and this amount of measurement yielding 9 inc round pan.

When i made it last time, i forgot to beat the eggs as in the recipe. It produced quite smooth topping surface. This time, i follows Ayu's instruction, and i got little bit spongy topping. So, it's depend on which topping we prefer, wether or not to beat the eggs before mix it with others ingredients.

Bottom (prepare this first):

150 gm rice flour (3 senduk)
625 ml coconut milk (2.5 cawan)
Salt to taste

Mix all ingredients, stir well and filter.
Simmer for a while on the stove to get thick batter (not to thick, just enough with little bit lumpy batter).
Transfer to the 9'' round pan, and cook in heated steamer for approximeately 20 minutes.
Prepare top part.

Topping

30 gm rice flour (2 sudu besar)
30 gm plain flour (2 sudu besar)
250 ml santan (1 cawan)
250 ml warm water ** (1 cawan)
65 gm palm sugar ** (lupa nak tgk ni berapa sudu :D)
10 gm white sugar ** (1 sudu besar)
3 nos egg
salt to taste

Boil ingredients with ** (water, palm sugar & white sugar). Set aside.
Lightly beaten the eggs. (tak beat pun takper).
Mix 1 & 2 with other ingredients, stir well and filter.
Pour on the bottom part when it ready. Steam till it set. I steam it for nearly 1 hour.
Let it cool before serve/cut.

Pandan Coconut Muffin

2009-06-20T08:52:00.002+10:00

2 cup self rising flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
little bit baking powder
1 egg (beaten a bit)
3/4 fresh milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Pandan paste
Descinated coconut
Icing sugar for dusting (optional)

Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl.
Add sugar and beaten egg.
Add milk, pandan paste and oil. Mix well.
Spoon mixture into muffin case/muffin tin.
Sprinkle with descinated coconut.
Bake in a moderate oven (180 degree celcius) for 20 minutes or until it just set.
Dust with Icing sugar (optional).
Tips - to get 'volcano muffin' heated oven to maximum heat, then lower heat to required temperature once muffin goes into oven.

Lepat Ubi

2009-06-16T07:57:00.004+10:00

I suddenly feel like eating lepat ubi, and when i browsing my freezer i found those little amount of frozen grated topioca that i bought from oriental shop, sometime ago. I have no exact measurement for this recipe, just 'campak2' all the ingredients, and yet it turned out to be a nice sweet treat. Again, since i didnot plan to have lepat ubi yesterday, i never bother to buy banana leaf for wrapping. As ussual, i just use whatever stock i have..(guess what??) heheh what else..my dried bamboo leaf lerrrr :D

Grated topioca: amount - depending on how many lepat you would like to have. If you doing it from scratch, the excess water need to be drained before we mix it up with any other ingredients. Mine was a short cut, since i am using ready-frozen grated topioca.
Mix with grated coconut, palm sugar, white sugar and salt. As for me, for 1 cup of topioca, i add-in 2 heapspoon of descinated coconut, sugar and salt to taste. I would love to have dark color of lepat, so i put more palm sugar into it.
Wrap it in banana leaf. (but i wrapped it in dried bamboo leaf..)
Arrange all lepat in heated steamer, and let it cook (approximately half an hour).

2009-06-14T21:45:00.004+10:00

I have posted this recipe before, once in here and myresipi. For me, this recipe is pretty simple, and it's yielding a lot! This 500gm flour portion, has full-filled a '1kg empty nescaffe tin'.

Here is the step by step recipe:

Ingredients:

500 gm plain flour
1 no egg
2 tsb margarine
Salt
Warm water - approximately 160ml
** 6 tsb corn flour **
** 6 tsb cooking oil **

Method:

Make corn flour paste. Simply mix corn flour and cooking oil, make a paste. Set aside. (I am using corn starch, that is why the paste look yellowish. Either corn flour or corn starch will do)
Mix all ingredients except with mark **. Form a dough, rest it for a while (3-5 minutes).
Shape, as A, B, C and D (in the picture)

A - To make it easy, devide dough into 3-4 small ball. Using a rolling pin, make a thin disc. Spread the corn flour paste on it.
B - Roll it and cut approximately 1cm - 1.5cm wide.
C - Again, using a rolling pin, press and make it thin.
D - Deep fry in heated cooking oil till golden brown. Dust with castor sugar.

Not long after that, Rezan came back and he asked 'buat roti??? what time are you going to bed then?' huhuuuuuu..well that's me...kalau dah nak buat, tak kira waktu! Lepas je siap roti..dok chat sekejap ngan budak tuu...mata dah terlelap! sorry laa brother..wa ngantukk lerr..lu punya pasal lerrr wa buat ini roti! heheheh

Tuan rumah nii..still lum habis mood nak makan mousse. Belum muakk lagiii..meanwhile, layan je lahh yerrrr hehehheheh

Canned mango with syrup (425gm) - mango not yet in season here, that's why i'm using canned mango. Puree those mango with the syrup. Just take half of the syrup, otherwise mousse will turn to sweet.
2 eggs white meringue - set aside.
150ml whip cream -whisk/cream with little bit sugar. Not to much sugar, as we already have mango syrup from the can.
75-100 ml luke warm water, disolve with 1 heap tsb gelatine. Combine gelatine mixture with mango puree.

Sambal Sotong Kering Berkacang

2009-05-26T22:24:00.001+10:00

Sotong Kering = Dried squid. In Sydney, it's available from any oriental shop, come in sizes.

Sambal Berkacang = Cooked with chilli with touch of toasted and grounded peanuts

Dried squid - soak overnite. Drain when it ready/set.
Onion ( i love to use lot of onion for this dish), garlic - sautee in little bit oil til fragrant. Add chilli paste. With slow heat, simmer till it thoroughly cooked.
Add little bit coconut milk (approximately 2-3 tsb) and toasted and ground peanuts (approximately 2-3 tsb). Again let it thoroughly cooked.
Salt and sugar to taste. Palm sugar will do better, as it will produce a really dark red in color.
Add-in those squid when the sauce ready. Cook till squid become soft and cooked (not to cook to long, the squid will turn rubbery).
Tips - Can add tamarind slice (optional), but not to put it to early before add-in the squid. It will cause the squid become rubbery.
