Quick and easy !

As student, I tend to get stress easier. Different people has different ways to relief their stress. For me, the best way to relief stress was by cooking what ever I'm craving for. But, I am still young and have not so much experience in cooking. So I like to cook something simple recipe and what I like the most is 'Cucur Udang' or 'Prawn Fritters'.

Ingredients,

For the fritters:

• 300 g plain flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp salt100 g onion, sliced thinly
• 60 g carrot, finely shredded
• 60 g Chinese chives, cut into 4 cm lengths
• 300 g prawns, shelled and de-veined
• 400 ml water

For the chilli sauce:

• 12 fresh red chillies (240 g), sliced
• 6 cloves garlic, sliced
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 4 Tbsp white vinegar
• 4 Tbsp tomato ketchup
• 4 Tbsp water

Method:

1. Filter flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the carrot, onion, prawns and chinese chives. Then, stir in water and mix well.
2. Heat the oil in a shallow pan on medium heat. Test the heat by placing a small drop of batter into the oil (if it sizzles, the oil is ready). Drop tablespoonfuls of batter into the oil, one by one. Fry until lightly puffed and golden brown on both sides. Drain well in a wire basket. Fry fritters in batches until all the batter is used up.
3. Meanwhile, measure all the ingredients of the chilli sauce into a blender and blend finely. Transfer into a small bowl. Serve the fritters hot or warm, accompanied with chilli sauce.

Yummy ! It was so tempting !

As usual, you are pleasure to leave any comments. I'm sorry if my post are doesn't make sense. Thank you :)

Capo d’opera! - A Masterpiece!

Voler bene, everyone!!!

Today we would like to share another new recipe from the land of the Grand Canal of Venice! Wuuu.. Sounds great, but it's cuisine are much greater than the name. Here we are, White Chocolate And Sour Cherry Semifreddo.

Yessss.. it might looks like an ice-cream but, no machine needed to make this ice cream-like dessert! Tart-sweet sour cherry jam beautifully offsets the creamy white chocolate in this dessert. For the best flavor, search out for white chocolate made from cocoa butter, not vegetable fat as is found in some brands coz it will be much cremier. *sslrrrpppp hahaha.

Have a try. Aumm ;)

Here's the ingredients:

• 1 cup cold heavy cream
• 170g best-quality white chocolate, chopped
• 4 large egg yolks, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 Tbs. whole milk
• 2 large egg whites, at room temperature
• 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
• 1/4 tsp. table salt
• 1/2 cup sour cherry jam, such as Morello
• 
  
• 

Direction:

1. Whip the Cream: Whipping heavy cream in a chilled bowl with chilled beaters keeps it very cold so it can reach its loftiest potential. Stop the mixer the moment the cream has reached stiff peaks.

2. Make a zabaglione: Beating the zabaglione ingredients over simmering water cooks them gently; don't let the bottom of the bowl touch the water, or the eggs may scramble. The zabaglione is done when it's thick and foamy and the beaters leave a ribbony trail when you lift them.

3. Make a Swiss Meringue: Gently cooking the meringue ingredients over the same simmering water streamlines the recipe and yields fluffy, glossy results. To prevent the eggs from overcooking once the meringue is glossy, continue beating it off the heat until very thick and billowy, like marshmallow fluff.

4. Fold together: When folding the components together, use a large silicone spatula and long, gentle strokes to preserve as much air in the mixture as possible. Stop as soon as no streaks remain.

5. Add swirls: If adding swirls of jam at the end, don't overmix lest you lose the effect; just one or two long strokes of the spatula should do it.

6. Freeze, then serve: Smoothing any wrinkles on the surface of the frozen semifreddo is easy to do with a warm knife or small offset spatula.

Anddd... wallaahhh !! There you go. A mouth watering semifreddo ready to be served :D

 Slice the semifreddo crosswise into 1-inch-thick pieces to serve.

Here are a video of how to make a semifreddo to guide you along ;)

That's all from us and enjoy the dessert. Grazie !!

DREAM CAN BE REALITY!

It’s sound a little bit funny if we said that one of us knew crème brûlée when she watched High School Musical. lol ^^v. Yeah! She's one of HSM fan!! No doubt. From that moment, her dream is to be master in making crème brûlée.*winkwink And now, she can make it with her eye closed. Hahaha. Only one eye not two okay. We searched what is the meaning of crème brûlée just now and we found this! Okay, let me summarize it to you. Crème brûlée actually is a French pronunciation. Its  also known as burnt cream. Crème brûlée is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a contrasting layer of hard caramel. Now you knew what is a crème brûlée so, we may proceed to the main part of this post.

The ingredients:

• 600 ml of heavy cream
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 5 egg yolks
• 1/3 cup of sugar
• brown sugar

Direction:

1. Put a clean saucepan on a stove and turn into a medium heat
2. Pour a heavy cream into the saucepan then the vanilla extract. Stir it in 5 seconds using a whisk and leave it but remember we don’t want to boil it, just heat it until soft bubbles begin to form at the sides of the saucepan.
3. Put the egg yolks into the mixing bowl then the sugar. Stir gently in 15 seconds.
4. Pour bit by bit the cream into the yolk mixture and stir constantly.
5. Then, strain the mixture through a sieve into a jug to remove any grit. Use the blow torch to remove the bubble on top of the mixture.
6. Pour the mixture straight into the ramekins. Next, pour enough hot water into the tray to reach half way up the ramekins.
7. Place the tray into the oven for 30 to 40 minutes at 160 degree Celsius
8. The half ready crème brûlée will look like a jelly. Cool it in the room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes then, chill it in the fridge for at least 4 hours
9. Roughly one hour before you going to eat the crème brûlée. Layer up thin the brown sugar on the aluminium foil to dry it for about half hour.
10. Sprinkle the dry brown sugar on top of each crème brûlée evenly.
11. Quickly caramelize the top with the blow torch. Leave it for 20 seconds and repeat the step before.
12. Lastly, leave it for 5 minutes just for the top to completely harden.

Here you go, a ready crème brûlée to impress your guest. :D

We know maybe some of you can't afford or forgotten to buy a blow torch. Don't worry! You can make this crème brûlée even you don't have a blow torch. Just don't lose your hope and keep trying. Hahaha. The other methods are you can use a spoon to remove the bubble in the step 5 and place the ramekins into the oven to it's highest position then turn on the broiler. Broil for 3 to 8 minutes and frequently rotate them so that they broil evenly.

Note: In step 4, you must make sure you are slowly incorporate the cream into the yolk mixture. Don't rush in this step because if you incorporate the cream too quickly, the egg may cook.

Last but not least, you can also put some fresh fruit on top of the crème brûlée such as strawberries, blueberries or cherries to decorate this dessert.

That's all for now. Thank you for visiting this web page and hopefully you try this

simple step in making crème brûlée at home.
