Home-Made IceCream

oh jangan salah paham..lum buat lagi...tapi ONE DAY..ONE DAY...ONE FINE DAY...akan ku buat juga......tunggu...

Recipe from Desserts for Beginners by Peggy Wong

180 grams fresh mango puree

60 grams sugar

2 egg yolks

120 grams whipping cream

60 grams milk

1/2 tsp lemon juice

I added some mango pieces

* Whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow .
* Heat milk in a pan until warm ; pour half of the hot milk into the egg yolks , whisking as you add to prevent curdling . Return the mixture to the saucepan and stir with wooden spoon until thickened . Set aside to cool .
* Mix lemon juice to mango puree and fold this to the egg mixture . Cool completely and put into the fridge to chill .
* Add the whipping cream to the cold egg mixture , mix until well combined and pour into the ice cream maker ; spin until thick and creamy . Transfer into ice cream container and layer some mango pieces and freeze until firm , about 4 hours or overnight

*** If you're not using an ice cream maker , use handheld mixer to beat the whipping cream until stiff and fold this to the cold mixture into two portions . Freeze mixture for an hour until half frozen ; then scrape the mixture and beat using a handheld mixer , in high-speed , until smooth but not melted . Repeat this 2-3 times to improve texture ; then freeze until firm .

Asam Pedas Untuk Chef...

gelak dulu sebelum post this one..

Sebabnya, other half tak pernah puji my cookings ye..mind you tapi I tak heran la sebab walau tak puji tapi dia makan banyak...tambah2...

Anyway, other half is now operating canteens at factory..not to be named, anyway..for security reason (la sangat!).. what i want to brag (gelak lagi...!) was about 2-3 months ago he invited his friends who are doing the same thing as his - including an exec chef, to have lunch at our place before off to rawang for some business deal..

i remember cooking them pulut + kuah serawa durian, kepala ikan asam pedas + nasi etc... yg bestnya, lepas makan, chef tu puji, sedap ni..boleh bukak kedai macam ni, leh jual... i terima kasihkan ajer.. sambil kembang2 la punggung.. hihihi.. exec chef la puji masakan mama marhaen ni.. hihihi..

when they already open this business, the second week, other half came home with a request: "Mama, nanti mama tuliskan resepi asam pedas mama ye..." i replied: "sapa nak Yah?" "chef tu nak...dia kata asam pedas dia lain...." (dalam hati I mesti chef tu kata asam pedas mama ni sedap,tak macam dia punya...tapi sampai kat mulut other half, jangan harap le kan nak keluarkan ayat tu...!" tapi i peduli apa..terus je i replied:"mesti asam pedas mama sedap kan....!! exec chef pun mintak resepi ni..." diam je other half malas nak layan i brag... hahahahha....

anyway, to other half n partners, moga keputusan yang diambil untuk meninggalkan syubhah ni akan memberikan seribu ganda kelebihan..amin!

Charcoal Cake

dey... kek kukus arang... wuish... mana nak carik arang weh.. hahha.. actually rupa kek tu mmg macam arang tpai the taste is wonderfulicious...! ni bukan i yang cakap ye ni my frens yang datang umah for our potluck which was held early feb aritu kata.... one of them said this: eh, farah rupa kek ko ni mmg tak memberangsangkan tapi rasa dia masyaAllah...not bad! owh, ramai yang tapau bawak balik...few weeks after, one of my friends called up for the recipe sebab anak2 dia suka giler kek arangku..
anyway, enough of the braggings, recipe for the Steamed Charcoal Cake as follows:
5 biji telur + secawan gula..pastu whisk kan je....buh sikit esen vanila, takmau bau hanyir nanti, on the other side of table, sift 2 cawan tepung gandum biasa +1 cawan serbuk koko (i used dark chocolate powder ada kat kedai kek usually)+sesudu kecik baking powder+setengah sudu kecik soda bikarbonat.. masukkan campuran yg dah diayak ni ke dalam bowl telur gula tadi.. pastu buh 3/4 cawan susu pekat, 1 cawan air suam, 3/4 cawan minyak masak.... whisk kan sekali bagi adunan jadik rata... buh dalam bekas, steamkan.. i prefer steam sebab the cake will remain its moist... kalau nak bake pun buleh...try le...p/s: rupa mmg takder la (cam tuannya) tapi rasanya insyaAllah...meletops!
