Been Surfing through blogs on what recipe to try next and came across

in any super marts.

Decided this recipe from < Happy Home Baking > to make strawberry Jam.

2009-08-16T18:34:00.005+08:00

Another attempt on pudding. This time used fresh strawberrys.

Result:

As good as mango's but need to add slightly more gelatine to have firmer texture. The strawberry puree is more watery than mango's.

Japanese Rice roll (饭团)

2008-08-17T21:07:00.012+08:00

I assume that my nieces are tired of eating porridge everyday so i made some Japanese rice rolls this morning for their lunch.

These 2 little mosters were overjoyed and keep rushing me to finish off to make this colour roll.

I used eggs , tuna & ham for the fillings and roll up with dried seaweed sheet. The roll was not wrapped tight enough and the fillings tends to drop out when bited. For yr information, this is the 1st time, i cooked Japanese rice, Perhap need to reduce alittle water to get firmer rice .

So here it goes, Quick & easy :- Japanese Green tea to go along with these rolls.

This also can be a quick snack for kids during school excursion or family picnic where this can be packed ahead.

Lavender (薰衣草) Cookies

2008-08-13T20:29:00.010+08:00

Yes, lavender cookies..i dare not try recipes that using lavender as many feedbacks that it taste like soap and a bit of bitterness aftertaste.

As it's said in this article whatscookingamererica, a little goes a long way, so decide to try this recipe by Fresh from the Oven.

The dough was a bit too wet after 30 mins of refrigeration so i addeded 1 tablespoon of flour and

put in the freezer for another 15 mins. Perhap i have added too much butter due to the guessimation of tablespoon.

I 've also cut down the amount of lavender to half and the result is too mild of smell and abit too sweet for me.

However, it's defintely a keeper for festival baking's gift

Glutinous Rice

2008-07-26T19:23:00.017+08:00

Hi, i'm back.......

Well, back to my kitchen again after long 'Holiday'..

Too many recipes to try on and i chose to start with today's topic.

As a cantaonese, our family love this traditional Tim Sum snack made from G. rice. I like anything which made out of it like Bak Chang, Law mai Kai, Lotus leaf rice, thai mango rice pudding etc.

I followed to this recipe http://jodelibakery.netfirms.com/ but made a little modification.

I mixed all the stir fry ingredients with the uncooked rice and then steam it at 1 time and also replaced the chicken granules with 1/2 tsp of salt.

The rice is really smells good with all the chinese sausage and mushroom when it's cooked piping hot from the wok. You can add any topping as you wants depend on your preferrance. With topping of deep fried shallots, braised peanuts & spring onions, i can't wait to finish it off.

Will be back soon...

2008-05-12T16:18:00.002+08:00

Made these Mini cream puff last weekend.
Use custard filling with some durian meat added.

And the result is satifactory.
Golden Brown firm crust with soft texture inside.
Cool on rack before piping in the filling.

Yummy...best after chilled.
