牛油檸檬醬麵包Butter Bread with lemon cream topping

剛打掃房間, PO一張秒殺面包吧. 最近都忙到很晚. 原本想做波羅包但又點懶, 這個味道多層次的自創牛油檸檬醬麵包, 軟軟香香甜甜酸酸, 不秒殺都很難 ....

Just finished cleaning up my room before posting this irresistible bread. I planed to make polo bun but feeling lazy, so I made the butter bread instead. I made this with my own recipe. The variety of taste, soft, smell nice, a bit of sweet and sour, left you an empty tray .......

自製花生醬Homemade Peanut Butter

第一次做不成功, 第二次, 就是這次OK了, 家裡沒有食物調理機, 用的是普通的果汁機, 是有點勉強, 不過還好完成了. 花生烤好, 就被吃了很多, 所以, 這次沒做這麼多, 成品只有半罐. 吃自己做得花生醬這樣比較不擔心有反式脂肪或氫化的問題, 比較健康喔!

Failed on first time but this time I had made it. I don't have food processor, so I used normal fruit blender to blend the peanuts. It's a bit harder but finally I had it done. After the peanuts were roasted, some of them had gone into stomach. Thus, I didn't do many this time. It's only half of a peanut butter bottle. Home made peanut butter ease the worry of trans-fat and hydrogenation. I think it's more healthy :)

檸檬層層蛋糕Lemon layer Cake

哇, 檸檬醬成功! 疊疊層層加上檸檬醬, 好吃! 蛋糕烤好, 好香又好看(別人說的 :)), 大家都等著吃喔!

Wow, the lemon cream is well done. Layer by layer with lemon cream filling, so.... delicious! When the cake was moved out from oven, it smell so good and looked so nice (this was the comment from other). Everyone was waiting ...., ya !!

香蘭卡士達面包Pandan Custard Breads

上回, 照食譜做的卡士達醬不是很滿意, 這回自己調吧, 這樣才會有感覺. 還不錯, 有被喜歡喔 :)

而且, 可以很快速煮好, 不結塊

I tried to make custard cream by following the given recipe but it did not look like what I want. Thus, I just simply cook it in my way this time to have some feeling about it. Alright, it turned out great and people like it. By the way, it could be cooked faster and won't turn rough.

The pandan juice gave the color and fragrance, all natural ... :)

獨家釀豆腐Exclusive yiong tio fu (stuffed bean curd)

客家釀豆腐. 我一直都是用魚肉作內餡, 這次冰箱只有絞肉, 沒辦法啦, 只好做傳統的釀豆腐內餡. 我不喜歡絞好的的肉, 對我而言太多肥油了, 人在異鄉可沒能挑剔喔! 

一個人做, 感覺有點孤單, 得有一些人一邊包餡一邊閒話家常, 才有那種"傳統"的感覺, 也比較有生氣. 有別於傳統的湯底, 用了自己的慣用的煮法. 其實, 準備一餐釀豆腐, 是很健康的一餐, 營養很均衡, 像我少油的烹調, 就不怕油份太高.

Normally I use fish for the Hakka yiong tio fu filling but this time I only could find minced meat in the fridge, so I just made more traditional type. I don't really like the ready minced meat because it has too much fat. Inconveniently, I couldn't be so picky since I was in  foreign country.

A bit lonely to prepare the yiong tio fu, should have some people to do the filling together and chit chatting to have a kind of "traditional" sense, but also more alive. For the soup base, I used my own cooking method other than the traditional way. In fact, yiong tio fu is a very healthy meal. It has good balanced nutrition for a meal. I cook it with less oil and this will not be too oily for the diet.

美祿巧克力蔓越莓杯杯蛋糕 Milo Chocolate Cranberry Cup Cake

今天的下午茶, 主角其實是烘培紙摺的紙杯. 上次, 看到摺得很好看的紙杯, 很想嘗試. 有一次紙杯脫色, 被嚇到了, 我想用烘培紙會比較好而且也滿好看的, 對嗎? :)

味道太好了, 搶了紙杯的鋒頭. 我自己不是很喜歡巧克力蛋糕, 要讓我覺得好吃, 就得讓味道更有層次 .... 成功 !!

Today afternoon tea snack,  Milo Chocolate Cranberry Cup Cake. Actually, the main role is the paper cup. I  was learning how to fold the paper cup using baking paper since last time I saw the paper cups were beautifully folded. I had a bad experience once the paper cup decoloring I thought using baking paper will be safer and it looks good too, right?

The taste of the cup cake is too good to grab more attention than the paper cup. I don't really like chocolate cake. To let me eat, it must  have more different tastes in my mouth.. I think I have just made it right, Hurray !!

水果迷你比薩 fruit mini pizza

早上弄一份這樣的早餐, 真得有種單身的感覺. 心情格外的輕鬆. 全麥吐司, 水果再加上起司稍微的烤一烤, 起司融化就行了, 不要烤得太焦. 配上一杯淡咖啡, 早上您好 !! :)

Having a breakfast like this made me felt single again. Nice mood indeed in the morning. Whole wheat toast, fruits and cheese baked for a while until the cheese melted, don't over cook the toast. Plus one  mug of light coffee ... All I have to say is "Good Morning !! " :)

人心果香蕉蛋糕Sapodilla(Chikoo) banana cake

三更半夜做蛋糕! 沒辦法啦, 忙玩已經很晚了, 這些水果一定要儘快處理掉. 香蕉被帶回來的時候, 壓壞了, 那好, 做香蕉蛋糕吧! 發現了一個過熟的人心果, 那好, 拿來做蛋糕吧! 二合一, 會是什麼味道呢? 我只能說, 又多了一個食譜. 想不到那麼就沒做蛋糕, 竟能一氣呵成 ...

在做的時候, 人心果的味道很濃, 或許香蕉不是很熟. 烤的時候, 香蕉的味道會慢慢出來. 烤好的蛋糕別有一番風味. 水果香, 綿綿帶有一點溼溼, 完全無添加, 無牛油少油份, 吃起來無負擔.. :)

I have no choice to make a cake in the middle of the night. Too many chores to do and those fruits have to get rid of it. Bananas were mashed when bringing back. Ok, just make a cake! One chikoo was over ripe. Ok, just make a cake! Two in one. What will it taste? All I can say I have one more recipe. It has been time I did not make cake and I made it!

When making the cake, the fragrance of chikoo was strong, maybe the banana was ripe enough for cake, but when baking the cake, the fragrance of banana was getting stronger. When the cake was done, it has a very special fragrance. Fragrance of fruits, soft and little bit wet, no additives at all, no butter and less oil, nice to eat and good to health :)

2014冬至 ~ 天然湯圓 紫色系 All Natural Tang Yuan for DongZhi Festival (purple theme)

因為發生了一些事, 好久都沒有更新, 希望大家沒有忘記這個部落格. 昨天, 有人問我:"今天是不是冬至?", 想一想, 好像是, 趕緊買材料做湯圓, 想說沒什麼準備, 內餡來不及做, 就做簡單的湯圓.

我不是很喜歡吃湯圓, 因為不喜歡糯米粉的味道和那種哽喉的感覺. 記得小時候, 紅白湯圓加上加了姜(沒記錯的話)的糖水, 沒有很吸引我, 所以, 我不是很記得"冬至".

想了想, 沒了內餡要用什麼去壓過糯米粉的味道? 首先, 先要把湯圓弄得美美的, 要有好看的顏色, 當然, 那一定要用天然的色素, 找來了紫萬年青屬, 楊桃, 紅蘿蔔做了三色湯圓, 做了不同的造型, 傳統單色圓形, 混色圓形, 圓柱形, 還有彩蛋 :)

湯底大概是只此一次, 下不為例. 舅媽送的紫竹蔗, 紫萬年青要我煮湯水喝, 那正好就拿來當湯圓的湯底好了, 沒想到意外的大受歡迎, 一大鍋沒剩, 大讚好吃. ^_^

我搞錯了, 今天才是冬至, 祝大家冬至快樂!!

Somethings had happened to me. I was unable to do the updating. Hopefully, people will still remember my blog.

I was asked yesterday  :"  Is today Dong Zhi?", I guessed it was, so I immediately prepared for making tangyuan (Glutinous rice balls) but I had no time for making fillings. Thus, I made some simple Tangyuan.

I don't really like Tangyuan because I don't like the taste of glutinous rice powder and the choking feeling of eating it. When I was kid, red and white tangyuan with ginger(if I'm no wrong) sweet soup did not attracted me at all. I guess this is the reason I always forget the Dongzhi festival.

After some thoughts, how to cover the taste of glutinous rice powder without fillings?First of all, I needed to make some beautiful tangyuan to make it more attractive. O! Color is important. No doubt, we must use natural colors. I used rhoeo Spathacea, starfruit and carrot to have three colors tangyuan.
I made different shapes for this year, single color traditional tangyuan, mixed colors round, cylindrical shape and colorful egg shape.

I only can make once soup base for this year because the ingredients are from my auntie's garden. She gave me some rhoeo Spathaceas and purple bamboo canes for making dessert. I thought it might be a good idea to make the soup for tangyuan. Unexpectedly, they love it, whole big pot finished and praising delicious ^_^

I was wrong the Dongzhi Festival is on Today not yesterday. Hope you all have a happy DongZhi !!

1/8全麥蔬菜香菇雞包子1/8 Whole wheat vegetable mushroom chicken baozi(steamed bun)

等待嘗試已久的包子, 終於都出爐了. 包子皮做得很好, 可內餡有點差強人意, 因為不小心其中的調味料倒過頭了, 還好加了熟蛋, 又扳回了一點. 這個食譜也是為健康早餐設計的, 也很方便, 收進冰箱, 隨時可以蒸來吃 :)

Longing to try for so long and finally, I made it. The steamed buns were well done but less satisfied with the fillings because one of the seasoning had accidentally been added more. Nonetheless, the boiled eggs had added credit for the taste. This recipe is also designed for  healthy breakfast. It's convenient to keep in the fridge and you can have it anytime, just steam it to reheat. 

全麥起司蛋餅whole wheat cheese egg rolls

得感謝今早沒留早餐給我的人, 讓我在餓急之下, 想了一個食譜, 一個健康早餐. 不配醬料, 其實也很好吃, 加了辣椒醬, 番茄醬, 會失去原味, 加了紅紅的醬料只是想讓畫面好看一點.

我放很少的油, 一點都不油膩. 我想以後早餐就這樣了, 畢竟我還是比較喜歡鹹點 , 還可以有多變化^_^

Thank to someone did not save the last piece of  spring onion cake for  breakfast to me this morning. I had nothing for breakfast  made me think of a new recipe for egg rolls, a healthy breakfast, under my hunger.  It's tasty enough without any sources. Chilly and tomato source will cover the taste of original. I just made it looked nicer when photographing.

I put least oil.Thus, it won't be oily. I guessed I will make it as my breakfast the day after. After all, I like salty more than sweet snacks and it can have different ingredients according to my favorites. :)

紫薯饅頭purple sweet potato raisin mantou

好久都沒更新, 不曉得這個blog有沒有被遺忘 :)

是啊, 出國去了. 到美國的第一個作品. 想不到我在這裡可以找到紫薯, 原本只是想買些番薯煮糖水, 發現是紫薯, 真的是心喜若狂. 雖然道具不足, 還是成功, 更加歡喜, 哈哈哈!!

It has been long time not updating my posts. Hopefully, this blog won't be forgotten ...

Yes, I was abroad. The first thing I made in USA was purple sweet potato mantou. I bought some sweet potatoes for making dessert, never thought that I could find purple sweet potatoes here. It's really a big surprise to me and it's my first try on purple sweet potatoes to make mantou.

haha! Well done even I did have proper cookwares to use. Feeling wonderful indeed!

楊桃海綿蛋糕 StarFruit Sponge Cake

真的好忙好忙, 公事家務事占據了大部分時間, 已經很少進廚房. 相片也沒整理, 那天不小心把SD 卡的資料全刪了, 雖然做了restore但還沒檢查那些不見了. 

家裡楊桃成熟時, 理應要做有楊桃口味的烘陪. 我做了楊桃海綿蛋糕. 如果你喜歡蜂蜜蛋糕, 你應該也會喜歡楊桃蛋糕. 口感清淡, 但會口齒留香 ......

Busy, busy, busy...Spent most of the time on my work and housework, less time in my kitchen. Plenty of photos have not arranged yet. My SD card was deleted accidentally, although I had tried to rescued but I haven't checked the restored files. I doubt I can remember which files have been missing :P

When the star fruits ripened, should have something baking with it. I made Star Fruit Sponge Cake. If you like honey cake, you should like it too. Light taste and left scent in your mouth .....

芒果巧克力牛油蒸蛋糕 Mango Chocolate Butter Steam Cake

這些日子都懶懶的, 又忙忙的, 有一些等待著我處理的剩餘材料, 今天給他搞定, 東拼西湊弄出了個蛋糕. 炎熱的天氣, 壓根都不去想, 煎啊炸啊烤啊的食物, 就蒸個蛋糕吧!

天啊! 好醜喔! 不想做記綠, 反正是隨興創作. 吃了一片, 蛋糕很軟, 味道很好, 拍了拍了 ..... ^_^

Having  lazy and busy days recently, some leftover ingredients are waiting for me to get rid of them. OK, let's do it today. Such a hot weather, I better made something without baking and frying. How about a steam cake? Just nice for afternoon tea :)

O! No!Looked bad when I opened the steamer cover. It's ok. Anyway, I won't make any record. However, I changed my mind after eating one piece of it. Soft and good taste, so here you are 

Mango Chocolate Butter Steam Cake ^_^

素料理 Vegetarian Cuisines

蔬菜煮得很油, 而且用的是炸過麵筋類的油, 大量的人工調味料, 加上麵筋製品在製作過程的添加劑, 人工調味料, 這樣的素食料理, 並不健康. 如果要排除這些人工增味劑, 加工食品, 要煮一道好吃又美味的素食, 感覺有點困難. 炒一盤蔬菜, 沒什麼問題, 可以像平時一樣料理. 但是, 像我們習慣用肉熬湯煮出濃郁的湯底, 可素素素, 又不能加人工調味料, 還要簡單快捷, 要如何煮出美味的湯底呢?

前些日子, 用了不同現有的食材煮了湯, 味道都很好, 我喜歡, 家人也喜歡.

If the cooked vegetable is too oily and the oil is reused after frying the seitan or wheat gluten products, lots of artificial seasoning, flavors, especially those processed gluten products which have additives, lots of artificial seasoning, flavors, I won't agree that they are healthy even they don't contain any meats. Cooking vegetarian cuisines sounds a little bit difficult without those flavor enhancers. For me, pan-fry a plate of vegetable is quite simple but how to cook a nice and delicious vegetable soup, especially needing less time to cook?

Days before, I used different ingredients to try cooking some soups. They all tastes good. I like it. My family like it either :)

巧克力香橙蛋卷Chocolate Orange Rolls

卷卷卷, 最怕的雞蛋捲, 因為喜歡面朝上露出淺褐色表皮, 不小心可是會破相的哦! 家人都不喜歡whipped cream 鮮奶油, 家裡也沒有瓶裝果醬, 所以每次做, 內餡都要傷腦筋. 不過, 這樣也好, 可以激發創意 .......

這樣得下午茶, 你喜歡嗎?

Do you like the afternoon tea like this?

Roll, roll, roll. What a horrible egg rolls! I like rolling in to show the brown top on surface. However, this will be ruined if it stuck on the lying surface.

My family don't like neither the whipped cream nor jams. Thus, every time I makes the egg rolls, it's a big headache to think of the filling but the good thing is it's a good chance to be more creative ... :)

手打全麥香蕉麵包+ 糖水 Hand Kneading Whole Wheat Banana Bread+dessert

下雨的星期天總得弄個吃的, 前些日子, 買了有幾全麥麵粉, 家裡又有香蕉, 做麵包吧!

想不到隨意弄一弄, 弄出個超軟麵包, 又可以多寫一道食譜, 樂也 :)

今晚就吃了一半, 留一半當明天的早餐..

手打也能打出薄膜, 神! 希望明天手, 肩膀不要痛得太厲害 .....

辛苦歸辛苦, 做麵包的感覺越來越多, 越來越好. 雖然, 有很多局限, 也沒有很好的工具, 但我相信我一定做得到 .... ^_^

No doubt, I have to made something to eat on raining Sunday. I had brought a packet of organic whole wheat flour few weeks ago. And now, I have bananas. OK, let's go for banana bread!

I did have any recipe for that and I just followed my feeling. What a surprise, it turned out to be a very soft bread. Happy to have one more recipe of my own :)

Tonight, half of the breads had already been eaten, saved the rest for tomorrow breakfast ....

Wow, I kneaded the dough until it had paper-thin film. Hopefully, my hand and shoulder won't pain too much .. ^_^

表面不刷任何東西, 所以顏色淺淺

I didn't brush anything on the top, so their color is light.

番薯薏米糖水 Sweet potato barley dessert

今天也煮了糖水. 橙白兩色番薯, 薏米, 自製的鹹湯圓. 一直被橙色番薯的顏色給迷惑, 沒想到白番薯的味道更香濃, 這一鍋吃光光 .... :)

Today, I also made some dessert, sweet potato barley dessert. It has orange and white sweet potato, barley and homemade tangyuan. Most of the time, I was attracted by the color of orange sweet potato but today, I found that white potato has richer and more fragrant taste. Yummy dessert, all finished .... :)

沙葛豆腐煲Pot of Yam Bean Doufu

昨天衛塞節假日, 人有點不舒服, 沒打算要煮晚餐. 可是, 有人堅持要吃住家菜, 沒辦法啦, 只好起立乖乖進廚房, 煮個懶人餐. 這個懶人餐, 總比快熟麵強多了. 原本要來個素的, 加了蝦米, 就不能算素食. 這道料理, 不加葷料, 也可以做成素食. 吃葷的話, 可以加雞丁, 味道也會很好.

這一鍋的材料有Ingredients in the pot:   

1. 香蔥蛋卷 Spring Onion Egg Rolls

2. 豆腐 Doufu

3. 沙葛 Yam Bean

4. 小白菜 Green Vegetable

4. 蝦米 Dried Prawn

5. 黑木耳Black fungus

6. 蒜頭 Garlics

這樣子簡單的"一鍋熟", 在忙碌的生活中, 或只有自己吃飯時, 懶得煮, 又懶得出去, 懶人餐的確是很好的選擇, 簡單的烹飪法, 又不失營養 :)

I didn't feel well on yesterday Vesak holiday. Thus, I had no intention to make dinner. However, someone insisted on having home cook for dinner. I had no choice to stand up and walk into my kitchen cooking dinner.

aha!The best choice was "lazy meal" which is always better than instant noodles. At first, I would like to cook vegetarian meal but after adding dried prawn, I don't think I can call it vegetarian meal. However, it can be vegetarian meal if opt out any meats or seafood. Another option for this cook is replaced the dried prawn with chicken will give you the good taste too.

When you feel lazy, lazy to go out, the simple "ready in one pot" dishes is a good choice after a hectic work and for one having dinner alone. The cooking method is simple but won't trade in the nutrition :)

雞絲海帶炒飯+奶油蘑菇湯 Chicken Seaweed Fried and Mushroom Cream Soup

忙碌的一天, 晚餐簡單吃, 煮個炒飯加個湯, 那就一餐了, 比起外食也強得多 :)

那就來個雞絲海帶炒飯和奶油蘑菇湯. 不油膩, 少油, 不需隔夜飯, 也能炒出好吃的炒飯.

自家煮奶油湯可以調整牛油的份量, 鹽份也比較低. 這樣的搭配, 也不會有很大得負擔.

看似簡單的一頓, 準備起來也不能馬虎, 細活也不少, 準備時間也差不多,

只是用餐的時候, 會比較放鬆一點 .......

After a hectic day, it's good to have a simple dinner. Fried rice and soup is just nice and it's better than outside food :)

I made Chicken Seaweed Fried and Mushroom Cream Soup for dinner. Not too oily and no need overnight rice still can make delicious fried rice. You can adjust the quantity of butter and salt for homemade cream soup. Totally, it won't be a burden for your body.

Look simple but still had a lot of work to do to prepare a dinner like this. Sometimes, a simple meal makes me feel more relax ... :)

菜包子Vegetarian Steamed Buns

今天的下午茶, 素菜包子. 現炒, 現做, 現包, 趁熱吃.....

第一次用自己的方法, 第一次做包子, 所以沒加全麥粉,  想看看成果如何, 下次再做全麥包子.

麵糰原本揉得很好, 下半場有點失魂, 成品表皮底下有點小坑洞, 沒關係啦, 這樣才有話題. 380克中筋麵粉, 大約可以做10個, 這個體積剛剛好, 不會太大也不會太小.

午餐沒吃飯, 只吃了點心,  這個太好了, 吃了兩個 :) 

三光麵糰

盆光, 手光, 麵團光滑
