Ni-Tamago (Lava Eggs) Recipe

2014-02-22T23:44:00.002-08:00

How do you like your eggs? Different people like their eggs done differently. I love boiled eggs with yolks in their glorious gooey form.

Here’s the recipe for Ni-Tamago Enjoy!

NI-TAMAGO (LAVA EGGS)

Ingredients:

4 eggs (or any number of eggs you want)
4 tablespoon soy sauce ( I did not follow I estimate with the water level to taste)
4 tablespoon mirin (I replace it with sugar)
12 tablespoon water ( I did not follow I estimate the water level that can cover the egg)

Method:

Mix soy sauce, sugar and water together in a small pot. Bring to boil then remove from heat and set aside to let it cool.
Keep the eggs in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook them.
In a separate pot, add water (enough to cover eggs) and bring to boil. Once the water comes to a rolling boil, take the eggs out of the fridge and gently put them in the pot of boiling water. Boil the eggs for 7 minutes. I use 7 min and the yolk is not so lava so I will suggest you try for 6 min.
Remove pot from heat, drain and transfer the eggs into a pot of ice water. Leave the eggs in the ice water bath for 30 minutes.
Carefully peel the shell of the eggs and leave them to soak in the soy sauce mixture, turning occasionally, for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can.
Carefully cut the eggs in half and serve with your favorite ramen

Below is the image I have cooked out the Ni-Tamago and the looks of it. I hope you love it and enjoy your try while cooking this easy Ni-Tamago.

There you go my Ni-Tamago ( Egg Lava). So yummy and tenderly soft.

Egg Benedict Recipe

2014-02-20T12:30:00.000-08:00

Fans Of Egg Benedict? Here come my recipe......

Eggs Benedict is the ultimate weekend or special occasion brunch. Making eggs benedict requires careful orchestration. You have to have warm, crispy bacon, hot buttered toasted English muffins, eggs poached perfectly to your desire, and a warm, creamy, unbroken Hollandaise sauce, all at about the same time.That said, if you know how to toast an English muffin, know how to cook bacon, and know how to poach eggs, then the only element that is not your standard fare is the Hollandaise sauce, which is actually quite easy if you have a blender.

Quick Blender Hollandaise Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Let bubble for 10 to 15 minutes and then pour through a strainer lined with cheesecloth, discarding the milky solids, or simply pour off the clarified butter, leaving the milky solids in the bottom of the pan.
2. Place the egg yolks and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until the mixture is foamy.
3. With the blender running, gradually add the clarified butter in a thin stream.
4. Season with salt and pepper, and it’s ready! The sauce should be served immediately.

Eggs Benedict Recipe

Ingredients

4 pieces of bacon or 4 pieces of honey ham
2 tablespoons chopped parsley, for garnish
4 eggs
2 teaspoons white or rice vinegar
2 English muffins or wholewheat bread
Butter

Method

1. Start with the honey ham. Heat a large skillet on medium low heat. Add the honey ham or the slices of bacon. Slowly fry, turning occasionally, until the honey ham is browned on both sides, and if using strip bacon, much of the fat is rendered out (about 10 minutes). Remove the honey ham from the pan, set on a paper towel to absorb the excess fat.

2 While the bacon is cooking, bring a large saucepan two-thirds-filled with water to a boil, then add the vinegar. Bring the water to a boil again, then lower the heat to a bare simmer.

3 Poach the eggs. Essentially, working one egg at a time you crack an egg into a small bowl and slip it into the barely simmering water. Once it begins to solidify, you can slip in another egg, until you have all four cooking. Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let sit for 4 minutes. (Remember which egg went in first, you'll want to take it out first.) When it comes time to remove the eggs, gently lift out with a slotted spoon. Note that the timing is a little variable on the eggs, depending on the size of your pan, how much water, how many eggs, and how runny you like them. You might have to experiment a little with your set-up to figure out what you need to do to get the eggs exactly the way you like them.

Method

1 First bring water in a saucepan to almost boiling. If the water is already boiling, lower the heat until it is no longer boiling. At this point, you can add one or two teaspoons of vinegar to the water, if you want. The vinegar will help the egg whites to congeal more easily. We use seasoned rice vinegar.

2 Working with the eggs one by one, crack an egg into a small cup, then place the cup near the surface of the hot water and gently drop the egg into the water. With a spoon, nudge the eggwhites closer to their yolks. This will help the egg whites hold together.

3 Turn off the heat. Cover. Let sit for 4 minutes, until the egg whites are cooked.
4 Lift eggs out of pan with a slotted spoon.

Look at my Egg Benedict I have made. Cool right.

4 As soon as all the eggs are in the poaching water, begin toasting your English muffins. If you can’t get all the muffins toasted by the time the eggs are ready, gently remove the eggs from the poaching water and set in a bowl.

Get ready your serving plate you can match with some salad and even Hash Brown with it for a lovely breakfast for your love ones to enjoy it.

5 To assemble the eggs benedict, butter one side of an English muffin. Top with two slices of bacon or 1 slice of honey ham. You can trim the bacon to fit the muffin if you’d like. Put a poached egg on top of the bacon, then pour some hollandaise over. Sprinkle some parsley over it all and serve at once.

Look at my egg benedict the yolk is glazing done so nicely and is so yummy a thumb up for it! Try for yourself and I believe you will love it too just like me I love it so much.

I hope you guys love my recipe and enjoy your cooking as I love to cook for my love ones to try it and guess what they love it so much. I just love to share all my recipe to everyone and I also love to read others recipe and try it for myself.

Besides offering a combination of Asian and Western cuisines, the Terminal Café menus also feature various types of the traditional and ever-popular “dim sum” dishes only for morning session till 12 noon.

Chinese Lap Chun Day With The Standing Egg Day 2012

2012-02-04T07:40:00.000-08:00

Lap Chun (立春）

04.02.12 is the 1st day of Water Dragon Year. Egg can stand on this special day. Do try it at home yourself. Happy Spring Day!

Today (Feb 4th) in particular is what we known as Lap Chun/Li Chun. That means it is the First Day of Spring. Chinese believe that the whole of your year will be quite like whatever you do (or whatever that happens to you) on Lap Chun.

Today, 4th February 2012 is Lichun (立春) which signifies the first day of spring according to the Chinese calendar. This year, Lichun starts at 6:22 pm Malaysian time. It is based on the the Xia / Hsia (Solar/Farmer) Calendar. Lichun marks the begining of another cycle. For Feng Shui, 4 Pillar Destiny Chart or Phat Chee reading purposes, the Year of the Dragon starts on Feb 4th. It takes over from the animal zodiac sign of Rabbit.

About The Year of the Dragon 2012:

This is a year of double Lichun, it is also know as "shuang chun" (双春) meaning double spring. This is considered very auspicious, hence many people believe that this year will be good for marriage and childbirth. The lunar new year started on 23 Jan 2012 and ends on 10 Feb 2013, hence the year of the dragon will experience the first lichun on 4 Feb 2012 and the second lichun on 3rd Feb 2013.
It is a leap year with February 29th according to the western calendar
There are 13 months with a total of 384 days in our Chinese lunar calendar, the extra/leap month being in month no. 4. A Chinese lunar month has either 29 or 30 days.

According to geomancers and fengshui masters, only babies born after Lichun, 4 Feb 2012, 6:22pm local time are considered to be under the zodiac sign of the dragon. Therefore, a baby born on 3 Feb 2012 is a rabbit, NOT a dragon! To be a real dragon baby, he/she must be born after 4 Feb 2012, 6:22pm local time.

So, my dear friends, if your birthday is in January and February, are you sure you've got your zodiac sign correct?

Today, we can conduct prayers at an auspicious hour to welcome the Wealth God and Nobility God after 6:22pm. Good times are 5-7 pm, 9-11 pm and 11 pm -12 midnight, depending on which zodiac sign you belong to.

Some people believe that wearing red and banking in money on this day brings forth a continuous flow of money and income throughout the year!

Happy Lichun/ Lap Chun!
Happy Holidays!

My Mom Birthday 8 Jan 2012

2012-01-08T13:34:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday To You Mom !

I'm rather impressed with their cleanliness of the business premise as well compare to their main brand in another side of Puchong Batu 14.

This is not the 1st time I visit here. I found the Yong Tau Foo is not bad than I bring my Mom to eat here and she love it so much... All the Yong Tau Foo is in big size is worth to eat.

The first thing that you need to do before you get to enjoy your Puchong Yong Tau Foo is to head to the corner to pick your own un-stuffed Yong Tau Foo. They have plenty of varieties here, namely: brinjals, ladies finger, bitter groud, red chillies, fu chuk(beancurd skin) and tau pok. After picking them up with the tongs, just hand it over to the person in charge before returning to your table to wait for your Yong Tau Foo to be served.

Among the varieties, you should not miss out the deep fried fu chuk(bean curd skin). Contrast to the usual preparation where the fu chuk piece is rolled, the fu chuck piece here with fish paste spread on top of it are being deep fried in a piece. It resulted to a tremendous crispiness of the fu chuk that went so well with the fish paste.

Puchong Yong Tau Foo in Soup (RM 1.20 per piece)

Fish paste genuinity, where it should have the sweetness and a fresh fish aroma less the muddy taste and to compliment with a spongy texture, is what that distinguish a good Yong Tau Foo. At here, the fish paste scored well for me to reckon it as a good Yong Tau Foo. Not only that, the ingredients were very fresh as well.

The second thing that you should not miss out when having Puchong Yong Tau Foo is to have some sips in their soup.

The soup here are no ordinary soup where you usually find it at a normal Yong Tau Foo stall. The soup were brimming with sweetness that will keep you sipping it. It makes me wonder at times, how much MSG have they poured in to the soup. However, I don't feel the extra thirst after the meal and that does the soup a justice. If you are fan of su chai choy (sweet leaves or gooseberry), you will love the abundance of it in the soup.

2012-01-08T12:33:00.000-08:00

Chinese New Year snacks will be Fried Ngaku Chips

Ingredients:

Chinese Arrow Head - 10kg ( you can buy as many as you desired).
Cooking Oil
Salt

Method:

1.To get the Ngaku ready for frying, the skins must be removed and cleaned properly. The Ngaku is then left to dry.
2.You can use the typical slicer to slice the Ngaku into slices that resemble chips. One can choose to slice them first and put them into a pan waiting to be fried or you can choose to slice them on top of hot frying oil. If you opt for the former way, you need to add some salt and mix with the slices to prevent them from sticking to each other.
3.Make sure the Ngaku is dry enough, else the mixture of water droplets into the hot oil will react violently.
4.Make sure to keep stiring and flipping the chips to ensure both sides evenly fried. It is relatively fast for the chips to turn golden brown.
5.Use a strainer to scoop the Ngaku chips from the frying pan and leave the oil flow back to the frying pan.
6.Once the chips cool down, you can store them into containers. Some will not make it to the containers, they will end up in somebody’s mouths… hehe

The potato chips lookalike snacks that we normally eat are actually Ngaku or Arrowhead root (or just Arrowhead). Some actually called this Chinese potato, probably due to ngaku only available during the festive seasons.
Nga Ku chips taste like potato chips and you can be quite addictive to them once the bottle cap is opened.

Happy Chinese New Year 2012

Nian Gao 传统年糕 (Chinese steamed New Year sticky cake)

2012-01-06T13:52:00.001-08:00

Since my mom and brother love to eat Nian Gao, thus I have a big curiosity to learn from correct recipe and this traditional Chinese cooking especially Hokkian dishes during Chinese New Year. I would like to keep this recipe in my blog here, so you can try out if you have interested on it(so far, I have not seen any blogger that I knew doing this cake, tedious to make right?)

Ingredient:

-makes 4 cakes

Glutinous Rice flour 500g
Water 500ml
Brown Sugar 600g
Cooking oil 2tbsp
Banana leaves - soften it by blanched in hot water

steaming bowls- I can't find the right bowl, thus I use plastic container instead.

Method:

1. Line banana leaves on the steaming bowl.
2. Place the glutinous rice flour in a large bowl, mix in sugar (500g), oil and water. Stir the mixture till sugar dissolved.
3. In another pot, cook the balance sugar (100g) till became golden syrup.
4. Pour golden syrup into flour mixture, and the syrup will form into curd, don’t worry, continue stir until syrup dissolved in the mixture (Be careful when you pour the syrup, it will spill !)
5. Strain the mixture and pour the mixture in steaming bowl.
6. Steam cake over high flame for 1 hour, and turn to low flame for 2-3 hours. Make sure the water does not dry up, refill hot water from time to time. You also can use the electric steamer around 3 hours until the mixture turn brown and you can open the lid and see the Nian Gao so that is not steam till bubble appear.

The best part is this Nian Gao can be kept in the fridge up to 6 months even no preservative is added..

Why Chinese eat Nian Gao during CNY?
My mum told me that Nian Gao is traditionally fed to the Chinese Kitchen God, so that he will give a favorable report on the family's behavior throughout the previous year when he returns to heaven.

With this lovely bite of Nian Gao, I wish you all "年年高升" (symbolism of raising oneself higher in each coming year ) !!

My Home Made Honeycomb Biscuit For CNY Recipe

2012-01-03T11:37:00.000-08:00

Last time when I was teenage I try to make this and was failed. That time I was in Secondary School I study home science with cooking class at school. I was pretty in love with cooking and back home during CNY I wanted my mom to teach me but she doesn't know how and I love to eat this during Chinese New Year.
So now I wanted to try again and it works pretty nice. My hubby ate and he love it so much compare to Kueh Kapit.......

Ingredients:

1 pack of coconut milk 200ml add in 200ml water
100g castor sugar
1 egg, beaten lightly
Oil for deep frying

Sift:

125g rice flour
125g plain flour

Method:

You will need a kuih rose brass mould.

Combine sugar and coconut milk. Use a handheld wire whisk to mix both ingredients until sugar has dissolved. Add in the egg and whisk till well blended. Strain the mixture through a wire mesh sieve.

Stir in sifted flours and mix to form a smooth batter. If the batter is a bit thick, add a little more water until the consistency is just right.

Heat oil in a wok. Put in the brass mould to heat up. When it becomes hot enough, remove the mould and dip into the batter. Make sure that the sides are coated with batter.

Return the mould to the hot oil and deep-fry the batter till it turns golden brown and crispy. Shake a little to remove the pastry from the mould. Remove the kuih rose from the oil, then drain and leave to cool on absorbent kitchen paper. Store in airtight containers.

This is very easy any cheap Chinese New Year biscuit that you can make compare to outside they are selling very expensive. If you have your extra time why not make your own self and save a lot of money from buying expensive outside.... Is nice when people come visit you and you can share with them your own recipe.

Malaysia United Buddy Bear-Pavillion

2011-12-31T10:02:00.000-08:00

"We have to get to know each other better ...
... it makes us understand one another better,
trust each other more, and live together more peacefully."

Under this motto, the UNITED BUDDY BEARS promote living together in peace and harmony on their global tour. Around 140 Buddy Bears (each 2 m tall) represent as many countries recognized by the United Nations.

Since the first exhibition in Berlin in 2002, more than 25 million visitors world-wide have been able to admire the United Buddy Bears.

Art and Culture: Each Buddy Bear shows the individual design created by different artists on behalf of their native countries. The international artists’ different styles are joined together in one work of art, spreading zest for life. The diverse design of the Buddy Bears – always typical for the respective countries – enables the visitors to experience a journey around the globe.

The Message: The Buddy Bears stand together “hand in hand”, symbolizing the future vision of a peaceful world. Each bear stands for the people of the different countries and their culture, yet not for political systems.

All 143 Buddy Bears are in town at Pavilion KL, the United Buddy Bears had made its way to the 23rd stop of the world tour in Malaysia as the 19th city visited and traveled by the Buddy Bears; over five continents where more than 25 million people around the world had the opportunity to admire the bears. And yesterday, one more bear - the Malaysian Bear is officially lunched.From 08th December 2011 until the 15th February 2012 the United Buddy Bears exhibition are launched in the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, under the patronage of the Sultan of Selangor. 143 bears are presented downtown on Jalan Bukit Bintag.

The Mayor of Kuala Lumpur, Tan Sri Ahmad Fuad Ismail, supports the exhibition and the overall focus is on aid for children in need. Numerous charity activities are planned to take place during the weeks of the exhibition.

The programmed of activities for the exhibition will include visits of children from various homes and schoolchildren, coloring activities for children as well as an auction of some of the life-size Buddy Bears at the end of the exhibition to raise funds for Malaysian children charities.

Spot the Special Bears in silver. There are 4 special bears, I'm able to spot two of them over the crowds.

The Respect for All Life Bear is a symbol for respecting all life, whether human or animal. It also acts as a role model for the concept for rescuing cruelly tortured bears - the Moon Bear Rescue, a project of the Asia Foundation.

Einstein Bear with the quote from Albert Einstein, "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding"

The other two special bears are the Golden Rule Bear and Global Ethic Bear.

Close up of some of the bears, the United Buddy Bears will be in Pavilion from now till February 15th, 2012. Don't miss out your chance to meet the bears and be amazed.

Strolling outside Pavilion while looking at lovely cute and artistic bears around the world. Could you imagine these bears had traveled way more countries than most of us had?

Ending with the Motto of United Bears:

"We have to get to know each other better ... it makes us understand one another, trust each other more and live together more peacefully."

***
The exhibition of the United Buddy Bears will be in the main entrance of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, from 8th December till 15h February 2012.
