Recipe: Mochi with red bean paste filling

This is my first time trying to make mochi, surprisingly quite easy to make. Just need to take some time to get used to wrap the glutinous rice paste with red bean paste filling inside, otherwise your hands will be all sticky.

1 cup glutinous rice flour
1 tbsp sugar
3/4 cup water

Mix glutinous rice flour with sugar and then stir with water until well mixed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for 4 mins. Cool down for few mins. You will need to hold plastic wrap to scoop the glutinous rice paste by hand, flatten the paste and then put a teaspoon of red bean paste in the middle to seal into a round ball. That's the only difficult part.

Lay all the mochi on plastic wrap with cover. After few hours, you can pick mochi up by hand without sticking to your fingers. You may also blend water with pandan leaves to make green color mochi. Mochi can last in fridge for about 3 days.

Enjoy!

Chili Oil Anchovies recipe

After reading all sort of news on food with MSG and cancer causing preservatives and colorants, I decided to try making chili oil with anchovies at home instead of buying from supermarket. It’s actually very easy to make and turns out delicious. However, it requires using a lot of oil to soak in the bottle, a bit fattening for health conscious individuals.

Here is the recipe.
- Fry anchovies in hot oil until crispy, then set aside to let it cool down.
- Fry finely chopped onions/garlic/dried chili in hot oil, add salt and stir until onions turn brown.
- After all the ingredients cool down including cooked oil, mix together in a small glass container. Let the ingredients soak well for a day before serving.

Shanghaiese Xiao Long Bao recipe

Well, after lining up outside the restaurant to view chefs there making Shanghai steamed dumplings for such a long time, I must get my hands on to try making them. Hey, actually not really that difficult.
First, marinate grounded pork meat with salt, corn starch, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, green onion bulbs, sugar, wine…
For making the dough, put 2 cups of flour into bread machine's dough cycle, mix with icy-cold water and some vegetable oil for ~10 mins. Hit the dough on table few times really hard, this is to make it more elastic. Cut dough into very small pieces. Roll it into very thin round shape and then wrap with pork meat.
Boil water first and then steam them for 10 minutes. Don't forget the vinegar ginger sauce. Enjoy!

Steamed egg with milk recipe

This recipe is very easy to make and nutritious. It is a popular dessert in Hong Kong namely 鮮奶燉蛋, 冰糖炖蛋, 薑汁撞奶..

Here you can simple make it at home and have it as often as you like without costing much. It is supposedly good for the skin if consumed regularly.
First, boil water in steamer.
Scramble an egg in a bowl, add little rock sugar and then add in fresh milk. Stir well.

Enjoy your delicious healthy dessert!
