HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015

May this year be smooth year for us

Everything goes on good way

Finally, kembali nge blog lagi. kemarin sempat pindah blogging di wordpress selama dua bulan, Tapi setelah dua bulan blogging di wordpress, mendadak blogging blue. Juga dikarenakan saya yang belum mahir menulis sih.

Tapi tetap sering nyoba resep baru tiap weekend atau hari libur. Setelah dipikir-pikir pengen blogging lagi sebagai catatan untuk resep-resep yang coba dan tempat pamer taruh foto-foto hasil cooking /baking saya. Makanya saya mutusin untuk blogging di blogspot aja, jadinya saya pindahin posting-posting di wordpress ke blogspot ini. Campur aduk bahasanya, ada bahasa inggris ada bahasa indonesia.. hahaha

Cheddar Cheese Cake (CCC) ini masih menggunakan resep yang sama dengan  yang pernah saya buat dulu. hanya saja kali ini saya beri topping jeruk, kiwi dan cherry. CCC yang gurih dengan rasa keju cheddar sangat cocok dipadukan dengan buah-buahan. Apalagi setelah didiamkan di kulkas.. Yummy

Sausage Bread ( Water Roux Method )

This weekend, I am trying to make some sausage bread using water roux method. Also too answer my curiosity, is bread making with water roux method really can produce softer bread? Water roux starter is a mixture of flour and water. That is to combine together one portion of bread flour and five portions of water by weight in a pot. Heat up the mixture to bring out the gelatinization of starch in flour. What makes the bread baked with this kind of starter difference is Starch Gelatinization, which helps to engage more water, namely more water will be absorbed, to provide a characteristic softer, more elastic-textured bread. Moreover, the bread will have long-lasting freshness. (source: Angie's Recipe)

I learn how to braided the bread from here and how to make caterpillar bread from here.

Dumpling ( 饺子)

The dumpling (餃子/饺子) is a common Chinese dumpling which generally consists of minced meat and finely chopped vegetables wrapped into a piece of dough skin. The skin can be either thin and elastic or thicker. Popular meat fillings include ground pork, ground beef, ground chicken, shrimp, and even fish. Popular mixtures include pork with Chinese cabbage, pork with garlic chives, pork and shrimp with vegetables, pork with spring onion, garlic chives with scrambled eggs. Filling mixtures vary depending on personal tastes and region. Jiaozi are usually boiled or steamed and continues to be a traditional dish eaten on Chinese New Year's Eve, the evening before Chinese New Year, and special family reunions. Extended family members may gather together to make dumplings, and it is also eaten for farewell to family members or friends. In Northern China, dumplings are commonly eaten with a dipping sauce made of vinegar and chili oil or paste, and occasionally with some soy sauce added in. ( source: wikipedia )

Jelly Roll with Pineapple Jam

I do like eat jelly roll especially with pineapple jam, but a little bit hard to find jelly roll with pineapple jam at here. Almost them are filled with butter cream or others. At home, my mom have some leftover pineapple jam that she homemade when CNY for making some pineapple cookies ( nastar ), she store it in freezer. The Jam still look very nice. So, i just need to heat it a while in saucepan. Before i make it, i surfing in several food blog and they tell must be  carefully when roll the cake because the skin will stick to baking paper. they suggest us to spread some castor sugar on top of baking paper which we use for roll the cake. After i make it, I think exclude of spread some castor sugar, we must not bake the cake to long. if cake too dry, the skin will stick to baking paper easily.

Chicken Nugget

After making kaki naga udang last saturday. on sunday, i decide to make some chicken nugget and freeze it. so when i need some bento for my lunch. i can simply fried it. Actually we can find chicken nugget easily at supermarket with various kind brand and type. but, i believe homemade is healthier than package one. because we can exactly know how fresh chicken meat we use to make this chicken nugget.



Taste of chicken nugget was really nice, . but, i think should add more breadcrumbs flourand carrot  inside will make chicken nugget more crunchy and doesnt taste only chicken meat. sure, i will update the recipe next time.

Chicken Nugget

Ingredients:

500 gr ground chicken
1/2 carrot, shave roughly
1/2 onion, cut thinly
3 clove garlic
2 egg
2 tbsp cornstach ( tepung maizena / kanji )
1 1/2 tsp white pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp light soy sauce ( kecap asin )
5 tbsp breadcrumbs flour ( tepung panir )

for the cover:
mix 2 beaten egg with 1tbsp water
some Breadcrumbs

How To Make:

1. Prepare a bowl , put all ingredients, stir well with a spatula.
2. Pour the batter into the pan.Steam the dough for 25-30 minutes until completely cooked. Undercooked dough will be soft and difficult to cut .
3. Cut the dough the shape you want.

4. Roll pieces of nuggets into beaten eggs, then coat the surface with breadcrumbs , tap a bit so breadcrumbs will paste nicely to the nugget.
5. Roll once more time nuggets to egg and breadcrumbs, in order to get more crispiest nugget.
6. Fry in hot oil over low heat , because breadcrumbs are easily burnt, fry until the surface becomes golden brown.


If you are going to freeze the nuggets in the freezer , it is not necessary to fry the nuggets, just coat with breadcrumbs, then put nuggets on a baking sheet. Don't stack it, put into the freezer until freeze well.

Afterthat store nugget in container. and chill in refrigerator. In this case,can be store for 1 months!
