Short-Crust Men

Baking again! Haha. This time it's pineapple tarts supposedly for Hari Raya on the 31st, but I think the tarts will all disappear by then. Today my sister helped out!


This was actually baked on Wednesday, but I thought I'll just include it here anyway.


Today's batch of pineapple tarts!


My sister and I made gingerbread men! Macam we celebrate Christmas lydat. Haha! Actually they're not gingerbread lah, it's the short-crust pastry used for the pineapple tarts. Since we didn't have the mould, we cut the dough using the knife instead. Haha. The prettier one's mine! ;p


My sister trying to transfer her short-crust man to the tray. She had to try a few times before getting a nicely cut short-crust man. And then! She had difficulty transferring her pastry man to the tray. Hahah.


Our finally decorated short-crust men and cat before baking! Only had almond and choc chips lah, so deco was minimal. Didn't have choc rice or those colourful beads Carcar likes. The 2 on the right's mine, and the 2 on the left is done by the sister. The orangey layer is actually the pineapple jam! Hahaha


Already baked! Heh. See the parts with pineapple jam! Haha not bad rite. But dunoe how they'll taste like. Shall wait for my brother to get home tomorrow and show him before I eat them.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Stir Fried Udon

My baby loves this! Recipe adapted from here . 1 onion, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 packets udon noodles 1 carrot, julienned  250g mushrooms 2 chicken fillet, sliced 2 stalks spring onions 3 tbsp dark soy sauce 2 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tbsp sushi vinegar (replacement for mirin) 2 tsp brown sugar 1 tsp artificial vinegar Recipe doesn't call for onion and garlic but those are pretty much base ingredients for stir fries so might as well. Made this for quick lunch for the kids since they were home alone.

Chicken Rice (just the rice)

Need to jot this down! I have an earlier recipe for Hainanese Chicken Rice but this version is without proper chicken stock hence it's fuss free. Chicken Rice (just the rice) Skins from several boneless chicken thighs 2 tbsp sesame oil 1 lemongrass, bruised 1 onion, sliced 8 garlic cloves, pounded 2 inches ginger, pounded 2 cups rice, washed 3 cups water + 2 cubes chicken stock 1/2 tsp salt 5 knots of pandan leaves Fry the chicken skin until slightly crispy and the oils ooze out, together with the sesame oil. Add in the lemongrass and onions and fry until golden. Add in garlic and ginger. Add in rice and fry for a few minutes before adding the chicken stock water, salt and pandan leaves. Let it come to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes. I used 4 cups water instead and it was kinda soggy so I'm guessing 3 cups should be sufficient. Also, cooking the rice in a pot is way easier than having to transfer into a rice cooker. Chili for Chicken R...
