Glutinous Rice

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...

Sorry, has been missing for quite some time due to some Job changes...i promise to come back soon...see u then !!

Feuillitine filling layer with Chocolate sponge cake.

Durian cream puff

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

I had tried few recipes before but couldn't get the best result
as the consistency of the batter is important for the puff to rise.

This time, i try to judge myself instead of following extactly to the recipe.

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.

'Sushi' Egg Roll

No, It's not sushi......

Get attracted by the combination colour of this dish while searchingrecipe for CNY dish.http://www.rasamalaysia.com/2008/01/recipe-steamed-fish-rolls.html

It's simple and yet looks appettizing to both adult & kids.

I bought this fish paste from Supermart and modified alittle for the kids
so omitted mirin and also substited chili with grated carrot in order to get the

colours.

Next time , i will try to improve on the egg thickness so that thinner ones can be rolled easily.
