Dry Chilli Pan Mee (Spicy Broad Noodles)-MFF KL & Selangor

Pin It Now!
 Pin It
Ingredient that attracted me in this noodle is the dry chili. Imagine the taste after mixing the chili paste with the noodles…make me drooling! That’s why I choose to cook it for MFF KL/ Selangor.

As usual I make my own noodles. This time not using pasta machine but hands roll! The reason is my pasta machine is out of ‘service’ therefore I try to work without the pasta machine (Thanks to Vien Lee for the inspiration). We prefer more chewy noodles so I’m using high protein flour together with tapioca flour which I had share in Homemade Chewy Udon post. Instead of making udon I roll the dough thinly to get broad noodles.


The main ingredient in Chili Pan Mee is the dry chili. Cooking this dry chili till dry and fragrant require a lot of patient. The blended spices need to be stirred frequently as you cook. With the 2 handful of hot dried chilies inside the paste definitely will make you sneeze and cough during the cooking process. This is what happen to me :D It is worth the effort as you can keep the dry chili well in fridge and consume slowly. 

Recipe reference from We Dare Food
Dry Chilies Pan Mee (Spicy Broad Noodles)
~Dried Chilli Paste
Ingredients:
(A)
2 handful dried chillies (soaked)
2 fresh red chillies
2 medium-sized onions
5 cloves garlic
1 handful dried shrimp

(B)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Methods:
1. Blend all of the ingredients A in a food processor.

2. Heat the oil in wok under low heat and stir-fry the blended paste for about 30-40 minutes until dry. Stir as you cook to prevent burning.

Note: You can prepare this in advance and keep inside fridge until needed.

~Broad Noodles (hands roll version)
Recipe form previous post Homemade Chewy Udon with modification
Ingredients:
350g bread flour
35g tapioca flour
1 teaspoon salt
200ml warm water (about 50C)
Extra tapioca flour for dusting

Methods:
1. Add in bread and tapioca flour in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Dissolve salt in the warm water. Pour into the flour mixture. Mix by running a fork around the flour. Try to combine every bit of liquid with the flour.

2. Once all combine get in your hand and gather the lumps together become dough. Then knead till well combine and smooth. Keep aside to rest for about 30 minutes.
* This dough is softer compare with previous version (with pasta machine) as this will ease the kneading process.

3. Divide into manageable portions. With rolling pin roll out the dough into your desire thickness of sheets. Repeat the same with the rest of dough.

4. Apply tapioca flour on the sheet, fold it over itself to form smaller rectangle. On a floured cutting board, with a very sharp knife, cut the folded dough into strips. Repeat the same for the rest of the sheets. Unfold the strips and now are ready to cook.

5. The fresh noodles should be cooked right away to ensure the best texture. Bring a pot of water to rapid boil. Add in the noodles and lower the heat to boil gently (make sure use more water as too little water will cause noodles become gummy and doughy). After about few minutes, the noodles will float to the top; let it boil for another minute and take them off the heat (cooking times vary on the thickness of noodles). Immediately drain off the cooking water and rinse with cold water. The noodles are now ready to be used.

~Minced Meat Sauce
Ingredients:
(A)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
handful of dried anchovies (ikan bilis)

(B)
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced

400g minced pork (marinade in soy sauce, salt and pepper)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1 cup water
1 cube chicken stock (Knorr brand)
Dash of pepper

Methods:
1. Heat the oil in wok with medium-low heat. Add in ikan bilis and fry till golden brown. Dish out and set aside.

2. With the remaining oil add in diced onion and garlic. Stir fry for a minute or two. Add minced meat and stir-fry until colour turns pale.

3. Add in oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, water and chicken stock cube into the wok. Bring the sauce to simmer and taste the seasoning. Lastly add in pepper.

~ Poached Egg
I understand that the original Kin Kin chilli pan mee is served with poached egg. Here is how I cook.
1. Bring a pot of water to rapid boil. Add in a teaspoon of white vinegar and lower the heat. Bring the water to simmering stage.

2. Crack an egg in a small bowl and gently pour the egg into a simmering pot of water. Cook the egg for about 2-3 minutes. The yolk should be at the runny stage.

Lemon Butter Cake (Egg Whites)

Pin It Now!
 Pin It
I have few bags of egg whites sitting in my freezer for quite sometimes. In order to get rid of the whites I choose to bake this lemon butter cake which only whites are used. According to the recipes’ author the butter has to be beaten until really light, fluffy stage before adding the whites. Whites has to be added slowly in small amount into beaten butter. Or else the whites won’t be absorbed by the beaten butter.


Overall the cake is just ok. Due to only whites are used it is not as rich and fragrant with the one with whole eggs. However it is still consider a nice cake.

Brownies Cupcakes

Pin It Now!
Pin It
I seldom bake cake with high content of chocolate and butter especially brownies. Brownies tend to have high quantity of butter, chocolate and sugar. Therefore I consider more than once before I bake this brownies cupcakes :D Since it has been quite sometimes not having brownies I decide to bake it for myself and especially my kids!


I'm glad I try! These brownies are airy, light and definitely moist in texture! The step of beating eggs and sugar till pale and light does the magic! A tablespoon of honey (replace for golden syrup) does lift up overall taste of these brownies. I had reduced the sugar quantity tremendously as I used semi-sweet chocolate. The sweetness level is right for our liking. 


Initially I plan to make the cream cheese icing. But all my cupcakes 'bloom' and leave no more room for topping. Looking at those brownies I know they going to taste delicious just plain. Therefore I skip the cream cheese topping. Little sprinkle of icing sugar on top does the trick!
Serves 8 cupcakes

Klang Bak Kut Teh (巴生肉骨茶)-MFF KL & Selangor

Pin It Now!
Pin It
Occasionally, I will cook Bak Kut Teh for my family. Like other household I used the package of pre-mixed Bak Kut Teh herb for the stock. But not for todays’ recipe. Thanks to MFF KL & Selangor and Alan of Travelling Foodies for sharing the basic herb and spice concoction used in the Bak Kut Teh soup base. And methods of preparing Klang Bak Kut Teh too. The soup base just as good as the pre-mixed herb. This recipe is a keeper for my family. There is no reason why not gather the Bak Kut Teh herbal from Chinese pharmacy instead of buying the pre-mixed package. It is a lot economy! 


These are the herbal for Klang Bak Kut Teh that recommended by Alan. 1.Dang gui  2.Bei qi 3.Chuan xiong 4.Chinese licorice 5.Star anise 6.Dang shen 7.White pepper 8.Cassia bark (chinese cinnamon) 9.Yu zhu, 10.Wolfberries (only added when the dish is near its finishing)

I'm using pork ribs and stomach in my Bak Kut Teh. I do not like to eat animal’s organ neither handling them. Since my hubby love to eat I decide to add. Initially I plan to add sweet intestines (粉肠) which I believe I will take it. But when I consult my neighbour on how to clean the organ she said pork stomach is easy to clean and more nutritious. Therefore I bought one and clean it with the methods taught by her.

This is my 1st time handling pork stomach. When I holding it..Ewe! Slimy..Smelly.. no choice have to carry on since I had bought it! At first scrub and wash with salt..then corn flour then vinegar. After 30-40 minutes of repeating cleaning ...at last ready to be cooked. I add in the whole stomach into soup base and cook for about 30 minutes. I check by poking chopstick into the stomach for doneness. I fish out when I think is done. Due to lack of experience the stomach ends up chewy to eat! :P I should cook it longer... I don't think I will handle it again in future :D Type of meat used is up to individual so just used whichever pork portion you prefer.

Methods:
1. To a pot of boiling water add big bones and blanch for 10-15 seconds until the exterior just turns pale. They may continue to ooze some blood but that is normal. Drain and set aside. Repeat the blanching process for prime ribs. Discard blanching water.

2. Rinse all the herbs and crush peppercorn. Place the herb and spice mixture into a muslin bag if using. To a large pot, add 6-8 bowls of water. Bring to a fast boil and add the herbs and spices except for wolfberries. As it come to a boil again and then lower to medium low flame and let it simmer for 10 minutes with lid on. This is to allow the flavours of the herbs to infuse into the water.

3. Add pork bones, pork ribs and garlic. Bring to a boil again before lower to medium low flame and continue to simmer with lid on for 30 minutes. Add more boiling water if necessary. Periodically use a ladle or small wired sieve/tea strainer to remove any scum or blood clots on the surface of the soup. This helps to keep the soup clear.

4. After 30 minutes, add Chinese mushroom and pork stomach. Season the stock with salt, soya sauce and rock sugar. Adjust taste and colour with amount of dark soya sauce used. Let the pot simmer with lid on for another 20-30 minutes or more till the meat done.

5. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, ladle some soup into another small pot to cook beancurd puff. Add wolfberries at this point (I forget to add!).

6. Serve Bak Kut Teh with chunks of you tiao, chopped chilli and dark soya sauce dip, and cooked rice.

I have read a lot baked doughnuts recipes and I thought baked doughnuts must only baked in ring pans :D I don't feel like buying the special pan just for making doughnuts. That's the reason holding me from trying. 

Doughnuts muffin, theme for this time Bake Along telling me doughnuts can be baked into muffin shape too! Without much hesitating I baked and find out how baked doughnuts taste like. 

This recipe has thicker batter however it is still easy to fill into muffin moulds. I choose the smallest muffin mould I can find in my pantry and end up using tart moulds :D I love their muffin-y looks with a nice round curve in the center. The texture is more on muffin, cake-y and not like those fried doughnuts. My kids love them just the way they are. For me, I still prefer the fried one :D

Zebra Butter Cake/ 斑马蛋糕 (Egg Separation Method)

Pin It Now!
 Pin It
I saw this beautiful Zebra butter cake in Sonia place and I know I going to bake it. I make Zebra cake before but not as nice as hers. The key is controlling the amount of plain and cocoa batter used in the layers. The bottom 2-3 layers used more batter. It reduces gradually as you work towards the upper layers. Mine one still has a lot of room to improve. Thanks to Sonia's tips on the Zebra pattern technique.

Butter cake with egg separation yields lighter texture. Definitely is worth the effort when knowing you are going to enjoy moist and soft pieces of butter cake :)

Japanese Ginger Pork

Pin It Now!
Pin It
I learn this dish from Taiwanese cooking show. It is pretty simple, flavourful dish and healthy too. The amount of oil used is very little. According to chef it is sufficient as long as the coated meat is slightly browned and sealed. Non-stick pan definitely helps a lot! Once the meat is sealed, onion slices is added and lastly seasoning. Sounds pretty easy right?

This ginger pork dish is using basic Japanese seasoning which are Japanese soya sauce, cooking wine and mirin. I’m sure it is pretty easy to get them in grocery shops nowdays. 


Ginger is first grated then extracting the juice. The ginger is only added when about to dish out. If you prefer more ginger pungent add in the grated ginger as well (skip the juice extracting step). Of course you can increase the amount of ginger as recommended too.
