Naan

I am craving for naan right now. Its been ages since I ate it....

For some of u, naan is a hindi unleaven bread thats both fluffy and crispy. Simply delicious and goes well with dry curry.

Yummy!

If time permits...Im going to try this recipe.

7 g active dry yeast
235 ml warm water
50 g white sugar
45 ml milk
1 egg, beaten
10 g salt
615 g bread flour
6 g minced garlic
55 g butter, melted

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
Punch down dough, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
During the second rising, preheat grill to high heat.
At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared.

That reminds me...I did some cookies the other day...will update u on that later.

Prawns with vinegar sauce.

A sweet and hot prawn dish with many chinese cooking flavours..
PRAWNS WITH VINEGAR SAUCE.

what u would need...

PRAWNS!

Dried chillies. Garlic and ginger

-2 tsp oyster sauce

-2 tbsp siao xing jiu

-1 tbsp bak yau

-quarter block butter

-3 tsp condense milk

-pepper

-spring onion

-3 tbsp vinegar

I kinda played along with many ingredients and yes this is an original recipe.

Butter the ginger and garlic

until its almost cook.
Add more butter and condense milk. this is to give its sweetness and crispyness. (Im not jk)

The prawns have been added with the dried chillies pepper, light soy sauce (bak yau), the chinese wine, and then just give it a few tosses and finally the spring onion.

Dish onto a plate.

its actually quite nice....lol..try it yourself. I havent did the option yet but judging by the taste. Frying some chicken fillet with this recipe would taste lovely as well.

Lamb shanks. The simple turtorial.

Amy suggested that I put recipes and turtorials so that people can try instead of comment on muffin...lol....alright....

Lamb Shanks.
Leeks

Carrots

Onions

Potatoes

Garlic

Chicken Stock

red wine (optional)

Rosemary

Thyme

Cut the veggies ( I love slicing! haha)

Season the lamb shanks with herbs, salt and pepper. (lots of it! XD)
Carameliaze the onions and garlic
then transfer the onions with the chicken stock in a separate pot. and brown the lamb shanks with butter and olive oil.

Transfer the browned lamb shanks into the chicken stock pot. The pot with the onions.

After about 2 hours, the meat should be off the bone and beautiful!

You can add some oxtail soup or tomato paste for added flavour. But I didn't had much time so yeah....it was simple stew for my family tonight. haha....

the finish product couldnt be taken because we ate it all up....lol....so just try it yourself. SUPER EASY.

But last time I added oxtail soup into the stock...and it turned out like this.

enjoy.

Simplicity of a chocolate muffin

There's just something about chocolate chip muffins.

Something that's so addictive about it.

You can dine in the most finest places, have the most professionally baked desserts and such but somehow to me personally, just a simply good chocolate chip muffin takes the cake!

Seriously....

ESCEPIALLY WHEN ITS MEGALLY RICH CHOCOLATE CHIPS.

yes the words are fattening.

Chocolate Chips + flour + butter = fat.

We all know tat,

but its delicious by a long shot.

I dont know what makes me drool on really good chocolate chip muffins.

Is it the fluffyness of the muffin?

The crsipy top?

The elegant and smooth texture?

The smell of sweetness in the air?

The chocolate chips melting in your mouth?

I assure you this can go on for a long long time if you do give me more time to continue.

But Im not here to promote muffins. Its just an opinion from this gay muffin lover...lol

YOU JUST CAN'T GO WRONG WITH IT! YUMMY!!

of choc cakes that just aren't moist.

I made a chocolate cake recently...last last week...ok that is...kinda not recent.
It was alright. But it wasn't as moist as I wanted it to.
I cheated a bit by using the Intrico sponge mix....but that turn out terribly unsucessful.
Jenny, making cakes from stratch is the best, k.
Anyways, overall it was not as moist as Brenda's mom's cake. AND not even close to secret recipe's moist choc cake. hmmm....now that's awesome...seri0oousslyy.
Oh well.

A simple pie.

I had some extra puff pastry in the fridge and my mom was like telling me to get rid of it.

LOL

and so with some beef in the fridge as well....why not make a pie eh?
Ingredients were quite limited as we didn't have much at that time, so I had to kept it simple.

I started with chopping some carrots and potatoes for boiling. At the same time, prepared some chicken stock with a chicken breast and gizzards. Chop some onions to add. And poof a last minute stock! XD

I recommend you use beef stock though, but I didn't have the bones.

Generally it was all really really random.

Just basically popped everything that was generally what was needed to make a stew. But it worked k!

What I did.

-Saute the onions and garlic with butter and olive oil.

-Add in the beef and a few sprinkle of herbs (rosemary is a must!)

-slowly incorporate the chicken stock

-occasionally season it with pepper

-And finally a few tablespoons of good mushroom spaghetti sauce and some cut tomatoes

-if you have cream, it would be great to thicken the sauce with it

And cover the top with the puff, bake it for 15 minutes or so. and I guess that was about it. I made a small cafe inspired one and another big plate pie for the whole family. Lunch was served!

And truthfully, it was pretty good. A bit like the one in Dome cafe. Their beef stew had some tomato base elements as well....just like this one. I kinda like to incorporate some tomatoes to stews...it might sound weird, but they do have great flavour. Overall it was just a nice simple beef pie. Simple and delicious! =)
