Blondies

Another clear the fridge recipe! This time round I was clearing the large eggs I bought to do macarons and were expiring soon, also clearing salted caramel chips, hazelnuts and brown sugar.

I think this is my first time making blondies, and it's like brownies but no cocoa. Anything fudgy and sweet is definitely good.

This recipe makes 2 trays of 8x8 and good enough to bring round to many colleagues. They were snapped up pretty fast too! I should be making another batch soon :)

Blondies

226g butter, melted
2 tsp vanilla essence
250g light brown sugar
100g caster sugar
2 large eggs + 1 normal egg
285g flour
2 tsp cornflour/starch
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 packet Hershey's sea salt caramel chips
250g hazelnuts

Melt the butter with the sugar and mix well. I didn't have 250g of light brown sugar but about 180g of dark brown sugar, so I just topped up the rest with caster sugar instead. My blondies turned out darker cos of the dark brown sugar, so technically it's not blonde. HAHA. Add in vanilla and the eggs, then dump in the dry ingredients. The mixture is pretty sticky but don't worry. Bake in 2 trays of 8x8 (buttered and lined) for 30 min at 170 degrees Celsius.


There's that thin crackle layer like brownies! Yay! I thought the nuts and caramel chips were overkill, but hey I'm clearing the fridge and there's nothing wrong with being generous right?

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...
