Salmon Baked Rice

I made my first ever baked rice last Sunday. All in the name of having salmon incorporated in my meals. The first recipe I googled used milk, and so I settled for that! Subsequently I found recipes with cream but I don't need the added fat. Who does, anyway.

So here's the link to the original recipe. I always trust Australian and British recipe sites to give good food. Haha.

Salmon Baked Rice

15g butter

1 cup milk

220g salmon, cooked

1 1/2 cups cooked white rice

1 tbsp flour

About 1 cup grated cheese (I used Perfect Bake mix)

1/2 head of cauliflower

Cilantro

Melt butter in saucepan till bubbling, then add in flour. Mix well. Add in milk 1/4 at a time and bring to a boil. Once mixture thickens, turn off the stove and add in 1/4 cup cheese.

Layer in a 7 inch round pan, 1/2 of the rice, cauliflower and fish. Pour some of the milk mixture and sprinkle cheese on top, and repeat for the 2nd layer.

Add more cheese for the top layer! Bake for about 25 minutes. Oh I sprinkled black pepper before adding the cheese I think. Just in case it'll be muak.

Ta-da! Lovely looking cheese crust! And the inside is soft and moist, the rice absorbed the sauce yay!

Of course I had to try it, and it's kinda good! I regretted not baking more cauliflower cos it's such a good complement, and more cilantro.

Oh and here's the baked salmon! I was kinda desperate so I just googled for a simple baked salmon recipe to see how it's cooked and the rest are by agaration. I know I baked at 230 degrees Celsius (never used that high before!). Seasoned them with black pepper, paprika, chopped ginger, cilantro and my fried chicken wings mix which I have no idea how to get the exact mix again. Haha. All I remember is ketumbar, jintan, black pepper, paprika, some garam masala and a bit of tumeric.

Can't remember how long I baked these, probably 20 minutes? Or 30. Not sure haha. All trial and error!

Bubur Asyura

Finally made this! Have been wanting to do so cos this porridge has loads of nuts. Not exactly a healthy porridge though since there's coconut milk. I already have most of the ingredients and had the time, so why not! I realise there's different types of bubur Asyura but I settled for the one closest to us, the Johor version . There's a lottt of ingredients, so I'll list in order of which goes into the pot first. I also boiled the mutton a day earlier so I can collect and throw away the fat from the stock. Bubur Asyura Saute: 1 stalk lemongrass 1 cinnamon stick 1 star anise 3 cardamoms 5 cloves 2 big onions, sliced 1 inch ginger, sliced 3 garlic, sliced 10 cups water (half is mutton stock, half water) 1 cup rice, washed 300g mutton, already cooked and shredded 1 tbsp soto powder 1/3 cup dhal, soaked in water for 10 min 1/3 cup peanuts, washed 1 1/2 carrots, diced 1 can chickpeas, washed 1 can kacang pool, washed 1/2 can sweet corn, washed 1 small box coconut milk Heat o...

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...

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...
