Pan Grilled Bacon rolled Prawns
2008-06-06 13:11:00
Two of my son's favourites are here, prawn and streaky bacon. I used some of the bacon for previous dish and the rest were used here.My son had this with his tomato sauce and I have it with my sweet and spicy sauce. And my daughter just ate the bacon. ^_^"To do this, you will only need large prawns and bacon. Smaller prawns are not advisable to be used here as they will end up being dry and hard.First, you have to shell your prawns. The head and shells can be retained to make Laksa. Then pierce a wooden skewer through the prawn from the tail-end. Oh, and please remember to wet the wooden skewer first. This is to prevent it from burning during the grilling process.Next, wrap a bacon from the tail-end with the fatty part of the bacon 'outside'. Overlap the bacon a little and continue wrapping till the whole prawn is covered. Tuck the loose end of the bacon in. If you have no idea how to do it, just use a toothpick to secure. Likewise, wet the toothpick first before use. You can se...

Roast Chicken with Bacon
2008-06-05 12:10:00
Anything with bacon seems to be tasty. :P My husband stays away from this now because he thinks it's bad for his cholesterol. ^_^" Still he stole a bite of the chicken meat, without skin, without bacon and likes it too.I like it how the bacon 'protects' the chicken from getting dry and hard and also at the same time seasons it. With bacon in here, you don't need any other seasonings. Just let the bacon to the job. Well, with the help of a slice of lemon too.This is my son's current favourite (because of the bacon lah). It might be yours too. Try it!Ingredients:2 Large Chicken Drumstick4 slices Streaky Bacon 3 glove Garlic, crashed with skin on2 slices LemonHow to do it:Place a slice of lemon on the chicken.Wrap a slice of streaky bacon slightly tight starting from the joint part with the fatty part of the bacon should be 'outside'.Overlap the bacon a little so you don't see the chicken.Place the chicken in a oven proof dish with the loose end bacon placed down.Scatter the gar...

Just sharing what I did with the Disney characters cookie cutters I have using this recipe. Originally, my plan was to bake a container for my friend to bring back to her hometown in Malaysia but due to some hiccups at my end, I could only bake it on Saturday morning and she is leaving in the afternoon. It a bit to rush for her to pick up from me.Oh well, I shall benefit my neighbour then. Hehehehttp://feeds.feedburner.com/wokking mum

Choux with Strawberry Sauce
2008-05-31 02:23:00
One night when the kids had gone to bed, I suddenly had the urge to bake something. As I didn't have a lot of ingredients in my store. With all the ingredients I had. Choux was the only thing I could do.In fact you are wondering, Choux is what its used as the shell of cream puffs, profiteroles and eclairs. Okay, we always call it the puff lah.As I didn't prepare to make this, I didn't get the ingredients to do the cream. Lucky for me, I had whipped cream and Strawberry Puree meant to make this. So I just use those on my on my puff. And that was what me and my husband had as midnight snack! ;)Ingredients:20 butter60ml Water35g Plain Flour1 teaspoon Sugar1 EggHow to do it:Combine butter with water in a pot.Bring to a boil.Add in flour and beat with wooden spoon over heat till the mixture doesn't stick to the base and side of pot and forms a smooth ball.Let it cool a little and add in egg.Beat with electric beater till it becomes glossy.Spoon mixture into pipping bag.Pipe small amo...

Chicken and Mushroom Soup
2008-05-30 02:22:00
We went out for dinner one evening and the restaurant's soup of the day was Chicken with Mushroom Soup but it was slightly sweet not saltish like the normal soup.My daughter like it and finished the whole soup on her own. Of course I had to try making on my own (by looking at what was in the pot :P)Hey, I'm not too bad. The taste was rather close. Maybe it would taste like the original if I added MSG. ;) But my daughter like it anyway and finished it all too.If you want something different, try this.Ingredients:8 Dried Chinese Mushroom, soaked to soften and drained35g Dried Longan1 Chicken Breast100g Pork Ribs1 slice Ginger1.5 litre Water1/2 tablespoon Chinese Cooking WineSalt to tasteHow to do it:Blanch both meat.Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and squeeze out excess water.Half the mushrooms if they are big.Place all ingredients except salt and wine in a pot.Reduce to a simmer after it is brought to a boil.Simmer for 2 hours till the mushroom are soft.Add wine and salt to ta...

Baked Soy Sauce Wings
2008-05-29 03:48:00
These days when my dinner involves baking in the oven, I try to parboil them first (if possible) to save electrical bills. :P Sometimes, by doing so, I can cut cooking time to almost half or more.Depending on what you are cooking, parboiling doesn't necessary make the food less tasty.Ingredients:6 Mid-joint Wings 100ml Light Soy Sauce 20ml Water1/2 tablespoon Sugar1 teaspoon Dark Soy Sauce1/2 tablespoon Ginger JuiceHow to do it:Mix all ingredients well in a pot.Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer.Continue cooking for15 minutes.Remove wings and place them on a rack.

Fish Paste Meat Rolls
2008-05-28 03:43:00
This is one of those dishes that everyone at home will eat. There are many ways to cook this.What is shown here uses fish paste. If you have more money to spare, you can buy prawns, grind them into paste and use that instead. It worked well using sotong (squid) too.Instead of having asparagus, you can have carrot stick, celery stick, bell pepper, etc or all of it in it. It all depends what you like or for my case what my kids like.If you chose to have the vegetables in the roll, you don't even have to add extra vegetable in the sauce. In fact, I don't even have the sauce if the kids are not eating.I have baked what you see here. You can pan fry it with a little oil and for a healthier choice, you can steam it.You can come out with many different ways to do this just using the concept of this dish and it's not that difficult to make this as well.Ingredients:150g Fish Paste 8 slice thin Lean Meat (get either meat for shabu shabu or use a tenderizer to pound it thin)16 Thai Asparagus...

Black Chicken with Angelica Sinensis Soup
2008-05-24 05:16:00
My recently blood test came back and my health condition would be perfect if not for that little star-mark showing I'm an Anaemic with a slightly low blood pressure. Other than that, my doctor said my bone marrow is producing smaller than normal red blood cells which might be the cause of my constant giddy spells.My husband joked that lucky I have 2 kids at home to help increase my blood pressure. Otherwise, it might be even lower. ^_^"Since I didn't want to do a blood count or a another blood test (later I faint,how? :P) now, Doc gave me iron pills though he said it could be deficiency in Vitamin B12 or Folic Acid instead. On top of that, I'm having this soup once a week too; till my next blood test in 2 months time.It's commonly know that Angelica Sinensis ?? (DangGui) treats fatigue and anaemia. But it's not a miracle herb. Don't expected to be treated with just a dose. You have to take it regularly over a period of time. Otherwise, just make this to enjoy the taste. If you...

Grilled Salmon with Herbs
2008-05-22 08:14:00
If you recall, I mentioned in my earlier post that my hubby wants fish for dinner. This is his latest favourite fish dish.However, accordingly to the seller for dill which is used in this dish, not many people like it as the smell is rather strong. It is rather strong but that's exactly why it's used. I don't eat cooked salmon (I only like it as sashimi) because of the smell when it's cooked but when it's cooked with dill, when I can smell is the aroma of dill. Yeah, I'm not so put off by cooked salmon now.Another plus point for this dish - very easy and fast to cook. Nice for those who are come back home late but still want some hot home cooked dinner. Just blanch or steam some veggies to go with this and dinner is done.I'm using oven to cook this but if you do not have one, you can try steaming it. However, do seal it with foil or cling wrap when you steam it. This is to avoid adding the water vapor from steaming to the fish.Ingredients:100g Salmon1 glove Garlic, chopped fi...

Homemade Garlic Spread
2008-05-17 04:10:00
My son and me love to each garlic bread! The more spread it has the better it is. Yeah, we both love to eat garlic. :P So, don't talk to us after dinner. XDI used to buy McCormick's Garlic spread with bacon bits but I was not able to find it since more than a year ago. Since then, I started making my more garlic spread.It's really very easy. The hardest could be getting the garlic into paste-like. If you using the knife, it's going to take you awhile for the garlic to be paste-like but it will work. It just takes longer. I do it with the help of a little tool, the grater. You can of course use normal the big one if you already have one at home. Mine is a tiny one which is smaller than my palm.Oh, you can use this method to grate ginger to get the ginger juice. At least this is how I did it.For my garlic spread, I mixed 4 glove of grated garlic to 1 tablespoon of softened butter. If you have garlic powder and/or parsley flakes, add 1 teaspoon each to the butter for extra flavour...

Huh? What 15 minutes cupcake? Weird name, right? Well, I don't how to call this. :P It actually a normal cupcake except this is recipe only takes 15 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to bake. Hence, I gave it this name. ;) Had this idea to try this out after seeing a similar recipe on cake in a magazine.It's not only fast to make but very easy too. And you will be surprised with the results too. At least, my husband and I was surprised. Before, we bit into one, I was telling him, "Just dump everything inside, beat, beat, beat and bake. 15 minutes later - done. Hmm ... I don't know... "It turned out moist and fluffy. Yeah, it won't lost out to any other complicated recipes I have tried (baking). I mean if I spend 30 minutes to get this result. I won't want to spend 1 hour or more to get similar result mah. Oh, and utensils used are lesser, hence, less washing. Okay. Maybe, I'm a amateur. I can't really tell the difference lah. :PBut if you had always wanted to try baking or h...

Flour Vermicelli in Thick Soup
2008-05-05 03:15:00
Many many years ago when I was still working, my friend brought me to Alexandra Market and ordered this Flour Vermicelli. It's unlike what we usually take which requires the use of chopsticks. The vermicelli is all crushed and all you need is a spoon and the soup is in thick form.In Chinese, it's called ???. It's kind of like what Shihlin has but I had this many year before Shihlin came to Singapore and I have not been to Taiwan either. So to me this was the original.I had no idea how it was done but I came up with my own verison. The idea came from the Little Bowl Fins. This is also one of my Saturday dinner because it is fast and easy to cook. But be warned.

I really love chicken cooked with herbs dishes. They just taste and smell so nice not to mentioned good for general health.This is one of the herbal dish I cook rather often. I used to steam it before I have an oven. This time I did it a little different. I roast it! I used the way I did the Roast Chicken with Garlic to make this. It's still taste the same except now we have crispy skin. Okay, it's a bit burned here. :PThis chicken meat is soft, moist and filled with the sweetness of herbs! If I were to do the the conventional way which is steaming, I won't get this result just in 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

I'm confused! Is muffin like cupcake? Is cupcake like cake?

Blanched Prawns with Sweet Mustard
2008-04-16 07:32:00
You know, prawns with mayonnaise is always a very popular dish. Everyone doesn't seem to get bored with that dish. But I get bored cooking that dish too often. :PSo, for a change and something much much more simpler, I did this. It's like the cold dish we get at Chinese wedding dinner but then those were served with mayonnaise (again). Mine, I served it with sweet mustard.It's super simple. You just need to blanch your prawns then submerged them in previously boiled cooled water. Next, you remove all the shells and sliced them in halves. Arrange them on a plate, spread sweet mustard sparingly over it or you can serve the sauce separately and it's all done. Simple?For the sweet mustard sauce, I add an additional 1/2 tablespoon of honey to 1 1/2 tablespoon of sweet mustard to make it milder. If you are using 'normal' mustard, you might have to add more honey.Try this if you want something fast and easy.http://feeds.feedburner.com/wokkingm um

I haven't make kid's meal for a long time. It's a good sigh because this means my son has no eating problem. Then why did I make one today?

I have been waiting for this day to come. *smiles* So, I thought I will spend some time to make his dinner interesting like before, just for today.What I had in mind was those swiss roll with cream and fruits inside. I should have chopped up the veggies and mixed it with the fish paste. It will look more convincing and nicer but but but ... my mistake. It didn't look anything close to a swiss roll. Still looked for like Sushi. But he still enjoyed it anyway. Oh well!In case you are wondering, it's normal cooked rice (I didn't use Japanese short grain rice) wrapped fish paste roll and top with furikake.http://feeds.feedburner.com/wokk ingmum
