Easy Leche Flan Recipe...

Yummy dessert...

   I learnt to make Leche Flan from my Filipino's auntie since I was in primary school. If I am not mistaken, I was just 10 years old when I first make my very own Leche Flan. The original recipe that my aunt had taught me was just using few simple ingredients. All I need are granulated white sugar, a dozen of eggs and a can of evaporated milk. I've been using the same recipe for years until today... No worries, it is still one of the easiest custard dessert ever; just substitute sugar with condensed milk and walla.....

   So, these are the ingredients used to make this yummy dessert:

• granulated white sugar (for caramel sauce)
• 8 nos of eggs (whole eggs. I'm using grade A)
• 1 can of evaporated milk
• half can of condensed milk
• pure vanilla extract 

  Methods:-

• Place all the eggs in a big bowl then gently stir them using a fork or egg beater.
• Add condensed milk and mix thoroughly.
• Add evaporated milk and mix well
• Add vanilla extract.
• In a saucepan, combine 3/4 sugar and water. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium and stir until it caramelized. Quickly pour the caramel in a mold until it evenly covered on bottom. Set aside to cool.
• Pour the eggs mixture into the mold.
• Steam in low heat for 45mins to 1 hour. The size and thickness of the mold affect cooking time. Make sure the water in the steamer is boiling..
• Set flan mold aside to cool..
• Unmold the flan by simply run a knife around the sides.

Chu Kiok a.k.a Pig's Trotter in Black Vinegar + Ginger (Non-Halal)

Cooked with love for Aaron's birthday dinner...

   Other than beef stew, 'Chu Kiok' is one of my favourite dish to prepare during family pot-luck. Basically my recipe is a combination of recipe shared by a friend and my mum (using Hong Kong Mix ginger). 

   Bdw, this dish is one of the famous dishes during confinement. I only knew about this when I attended my friend's son fullmoon. He told me that it was prepared by a confinement lady that took care of his wife. I 'googled' for it and this is the info I get:-

   "Black Vinegar purifies the blood, Old Ginger drives out wind, and Brown Sugar puts a check on "dampness". Pig's Trotters are said to provide collagen which is good for strengthening joints & lumbar. Sesame Seed Oil is also to promote blood circulation and the eggs for nourishment. This is a dish cooked for postnatal moms"...

   Oh... no worries!! Whether confinement or not, we still can eat this anytime... 

   Let's check on the Ingredients.....

Ingredients:- 

Pig's Trotters (approx 2kg)

1kg Old Ginger, skinned & smashed lightly

4 bulb of garlic

1 bottle (~4cups) sweetened Black Vinegar

Hong Kong Mix Ginger (1 bottle)

3-4 cups water

Half cup sweet dark soy sauce

3-4 tbsp oyster sauce.

*Rock sugar

Hong Kong Mixed Ginger will gives a taste of sweetness to the dish. Substitute with *Rock sugar if you can't get it.

Method:

1) Cut trotter into small sections. Rinse the pig trotter in clean. Remove all the hair carefully. 

2) Boil water in a large pot and cook the pig trotter for 2-3 minutes. Transfer out and wash under running water. This process can help to remove the odd taste as much as possible.

The purpose of blanching is to clean the meat from unwanted dirt. It also wash away some of the fats.

3) In a pressure cooker, add all the garlic, ginger and Hong Kong ginger mix. Then, cover pig trotter with  vinegar, water, and dark soy sauce.

4) Bring to a boil and leave to simmer for 1/2 an hour.

5) Add water and continue to simmer until soft & tender (approx. 2hrs)

*This dish tastes better upon standing for days!

*You may add hard boil eggs.

Bambangan pickles, anyone???

So, is it Bambangan season already? 

Image from Google

  I was following newsfeed on Sandakan Kini when I saw someone selling Bambangan fruits. I never seen Bambangan in Sandakan before (seriously), so I got excited when I saw the post. The seller willing to do COD (cash on delivery) too and most importantly, it was cheap!!! 

 For RM10, I managed to get 5 pieces of big size Bambangan. At first, I planned to cook Pinasakan with the raw Bambangan but after a week of keeping it, it has turn half-ripped and not suitable for Pinasakan. 

  It's a waste of money to throw it away. So, I try to recall on how to make a Bambangan pickles. I remember helping my late grandma grating the Bambangan seeds and slowly the ingredients popped out. Yea, sometimes we tent to forget the simplest things in life huh...

Cinnamon Roll & MEALSHAKE cheesy glaze

Hello....

After berbulan-bulan lamanya oven tak berasap,  hari ni the house was surrounded with the smell of cinnamon. One thing about cinnamon I love the most is, it always remind me of Christmas. Yes, Christmas. Maybe I should start baking gingerbread cinnamon already, no???

Anyways...  Supposedly, I have few (quite a lot actually) testimonials to share with you guys but since the Internet connection is not being nice to me, I decided to do something to make the tummy happier. The tummy (yes, blame the tummy!)

Ada siapa2 tak yang anak-anak kategori picky eater? My son sangat picky when it comes to food. No vegetables, no fruits!!! Yang mamanya ni pula pening just trying to cover cebisan sayur dlm timbunan nasi.  Pening kan?

Tapi, hari ni dapat idea nak buat anak makan makanan favorite but at the same time, they getting nutrients from it. Dari situlah datangnya idea nak buat Cinnamon Rolls with creamy MEALSHAKE glaze. Yes, I'm using Mealshake by Shaklee as one of my special ingredient.

Why do I choose MEALSHAKE? Mealshake sebenarnya mampu mencetus selera makan anak-anak. Sangat sesuai bagi mereka yang kurang selera makan, sembelit, asma, sering selsema, kurang berat badan dan sebagainya.. Istimewanya lagi, Mealshake membekalkan 35% atau lebih nilai harian bagi 19 vitamin dan mineral yang penting. Sumber yang kaya kalsium, fiber dan protein. That is why, walaupun kita kurang makan namun, namun pengambilan Mealshake banyak membantu memberi badan rasa bertenaga..

So, untuk mereka yang PM untuk dapatkan resepi Cinnamon Roll with MEALSHAKE creamy glaze. I will post the recipe here...
