Homemade Kimchi

Kimchi1


When I first visit Korea 8 yrs ago, it was my very first time tried kimchi and eventually I have grown to love it so much. I can eat the rice with just kimchi alone. The sweet, sour and spicy flavour of the kimchi really appetizing. All the while I will just have kimchi at our local korean restaurant or bought the ready made kimchi from the store, until one day my aunt from Singapore shared her recipe with me. I tried and it turn out a lot better than the one I bought from the store.

Making kimchi are pretty easy, there few minutes of work and just let it ferment at least 1 week before we can eat them. I let my kimchi ferment for 2 weeks before I eat them. Kimchi gets better with age. The longer we keep it, the better it taste. We can eat kimchi with rice, we make soups with kimchi, we can use kimchi to fried rice and make kimchi pancake or omelette as well. Just store a jar of kimchi in our fridge and just eat them whenever you want☻


Ingredients:

1 large chinese cabbage/napa cabbage
some coarse salt (1/2 cup)

2 red chilli - chopped(optional)
4-5 cloves garlic - chopped
1 bunch of spring onions - chopped/sliced into 1 inch
1 inch of ginger - chopped
1 cup of gochugaru (korean chili flakes)
2 tbsp fish sauce

Note: the amount of the ingredients used can be adjusted to our own liking.

The most important ingredient for making kimchi is getting the right korean chili flakes. I have tried other chili powders but nothing else will give you that authentic taste. Korean chili flakes has a wonderfully sweet taste that accompanies the spice. It is not too spicy to compare with the chili powder available in Malaysia.
*We can use our local chili powder to substitute the korean chili flakes but beware of it will taste a bit more spicy. Reduce the amount of chili powder used and add some sugar to balance the taste. Always try to get the correct taste☻*

Prepare the cabbage:
Wash the cabbage layer by layer. We can cut it into quarter for easier wash and drain to dry. Sprinkle the layer of cabbage leaves with the coarse salt evenly. Set aside for a couple of hours - 4 hours. The cabbage will drain off some of its water and will shrink in volume by about 1/3. Rinse well with running tap water to remove the salt and drained.

Method:
In a large bowl mix the ingredients - chopped red chilli, garlic, spring onion, ginger, chili flakes & fish sauce.
Cut the cabbage into whatever size u like. I prefer it about 2 inches.
Add the cabbage into the bowl of mix ingredients and mix well.
Fill the cabbage into dry and clean sealable glass jar. Leave some space at the top about 1-2 inches to allow the gases to escape.
Leave the jar at room temperature for 2-3 days and then store in the refrigerator for about one week. It will slowly ferment in the fridge.
My jar shown above is probably too full and likely to spill kimchi liquid out of the top as it ferments.
The younger it is the sweeter the cabbage tastes. If you like it more sour just let it ferment longer.

Kimchi3

Cabbage will drain off some of its water after 4 hours.

Kimchi5
Cabbage shrink about 1/3 of it size.






Kimchi anyone???





Note: I found this kimchi very appetizing. For kimchi lovers, hope you all will give it a try!☻

Have a nice day!!

Rich & Moist Butter Cake

Butter Cake 1

I would like to thank Constance☻for sharing this wonderful rich & moist butter cake recipe with me. Butter cake have become one of my favourite since my younger days and now all my kids they too love butter cake. I found that this butter cake recipe by Constance are easier to bake to compare with my own recipe. We don't have to separate the egg whites & egg yolks, which make the whole baking process much easier and faster. The cake are simply yummylicious!!!

Assam Pedas Ikan Kembung

Assam Pedas Ikan Kembung1
For those who loved "Assam Laksa" will sure love this dishes. My kids loves laksa very much and they love soup too, this will be their favourite then. Since my hubby was home from Hanoi and I decided to cook this Assam Pedas for him. He can't have this and many other Malaysian food in Hanoi. This is a very appetizing dishes that you all can try at home and it's very easy to prepare☻

Assam Pedas Ikan Kembung 2
The ingredients that I use to cook this dishes and (2x2x1/2inch) dried shrimp paste(belacan) which I forgot to take the pic

Ikan Kembung

left:Wild ginger buds (cut lengthwise) - right: lemon grass & galangale (smashed)

Assam Pedas Ikan Kembung


Ingredients:
1 kg fish (kembung/parang)
2 litres water

Blend together:
10 dried chillies - soaked & seeded
2 fresh chillies - seeded
20 shallots - peeled
2x2x1/2inch dried shrimp paste (belacan)

10 stalks polygonum (daun kesom)
1 wild ginger bud (bunga kantan) - cut lengthwise
2cm piece galangale (lengkuas) - smashed
5 stalks lemon grass (serai) - smashed

4 piece dried tamarind skin (asam keping)
50g tamarind (asam jawa) mixed with 250ml water - optional

Seasoning:
some rock sugar to taste
some salt to taste
1 cube ikan bilis stock - optional



Method:
Bring a pot of water to boil. Add in the ground ingredients, daun kesom, bunga kantan, serai, lengkuas & asam keping. Simmer stock over low heat for 10-15 minutes.
Remove daun kesom and bunga kantan. Taste the soup if it's sour enough. Add the asam jawa juice to taste, add in fish and seasoning. Try the soup while you add in the seasoning until you get the correct taste☻. Keep the soup simmering over very low heat, once the fish is cooked turn off the stove. Serve hot.
Easy right??

Note : Remove if there is seed on the dried tamarind skin as it will produce the bitter taste to the soup. Soaked the dried chillies on a bowl of hot water, this will soften the chillies in shorter time. If you prefer a more spicy soup just increase the amount of fresh chillies accordingly. My kids can't take it too spicy and I only use 2 fresh chillies in this recipe. I omit the ikan bilis stock as well☻
HAPPY COOKING!

Yeah,...I baked a Blueberry Cheese Cake for my hubby. Welcoming him home and I miss him so much.

Blueberry Cheese Cake 1

I have been scratching my head thinking of an idea on how to decorate my cheese cake before this picture been snapped. The cake alone, it'll look a bit boring for me and I came up with this idea to put my 2 lovely teddy's mug behind as the background. Mugs that meant a lot to me, it was present to me by a lovely girl on my birthday about 10 years ago and I just keep them till now. ☻Ya, I add a yellow coloured fork there to bring out some colour contrast there, make the picture look more interesting. What you all think of the picture above??

See the smaller sponge cake base there??? arhh.. I just got myself a 9" springform pan and the normal cake pan I have currently is 8" pan. The 2 different size pan makes my cake look a bit "cacat" here.

Blueberry Cheese Cake 2

My attempt to snapped the cheese cake on different angle. I found this angle are just amazing.

Blueberry Cheese Cake 3
This is how the springform pan look like and look at my cheese cake. It cracked just like the one Constance baked the other day. We face the same problems dear. Huh~why, why, why??

Strawberry Yoghurt Ice-Cream

Strawberry Yoghurt Icecream 1

Yay...Ice-cream!!! Ya, it's a must in my freezer to cool me down in this warm and dry season. I loved the Baskin Robbin's Strawberry Cheese Cake flavour ice-cream, which make me to take the first move to try out this Strawberry Yoghurt Ice-Cream recipe. Without the knowledge of making ice-cream, I just followed Aunty Yochana's recipe that I found online and it turn out not bad at all except the ice-cream is not as smooth as it could be. I just beat the cream with my hand mixer without using the ice-cream maker as I don't have one at home. Will that be the reason of the ice-cream not fine?? Anyway, my kids and I still enjoying it as it's still taste far better than the one we got from the supermarket. Yeah! ~



Let me share the recipe☻

Ingredient :
300g Fresh Strawberries
100g Sugar
200g Non dairy whipping cream
1 tsp Strawberry emulco
100g Strawberry flavoured yoghurt



Method : Wash and blend strawberries with sugar until it become puree. Set aside. Whisk non dairy cream until it is thick or stiff. Mix yoghurt with the strawberry puree and then fold in the whipped cream slowly. Add in the strawberry emulco and mix well. Pour the cream mixture into a plastic container and freeze overnight until it's firm.

Note : The amount of sugar depends on the sweetness of the strawberries you use for the ice-cream. Cut down the sugar if the strawberries are very sweet. My strawberries are sourish sweet and my ice-cream taste like it. The recipe above makes 300g Strawberry ice-cream☻

They both loves chocolate and I end up baking this Aunty Yochana's Chocolate Chips Muffin☻ for them as breakfast. I make the small cup size for they can bring it to school as well.

My First Attempt Bread☻

Tadaa...! Look at my babies, it's the baby buns actually ~ hehe☻

Bread 1

All the while, it never crossed my mind to baking a bread. I have no knowledge about bread making at all. But I love to eat them so do my kids and end up spending money to buy the bread from the bakery. I want to thank my friend Constance for sharing her bread recipe with me in her BLOG☻which really inspired me to take the first step in bread making. Her step by step explanation make me easier to understand the whole process of bread making☻

Her recipe which using the whipping cream instead of bread improver turn out quite satisfy result for a bread baker newbie like me, the bun is soft like it should be. I just need to practise how to put the filling inside the bun and roll it into ball. I make few buns with sausage filling and some buns with cinnamon sugar filling. All together how many buns?? What a silly me, I didn't count them. Maybe I was paying too much attention on the buns and I forget to count them before they are all finished up by my kids☻(I knead 400gm bread flour-that's a lot!!!)

I don't have a stand mixer, so I did everything by hands. I rolled the dough until the butter was incorporated into the dough. It takes me about 2 hours or more. And then I put the dough in a plastic container and cover it with the cling wrap before proofing for 2 1/2 hours and went to fetch my kids from school.

Venturing into making bread and buns is not too bad, indeed I have grown to love it☻ I will experience with more recipe later when I find time again. Check it out!

Here is the bread recipe from Constance's Blog - Fad About Food

200g bread flour
30g sugar
1/4 tsp salt
5g instant yeast

100g whipping cream
40g fresh milk
1 egg yolk

20g soft butter


Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
2 tbsp Brown Sugar

Extra butter sliced in thickness of 3mm (optional)

Method :
Sieve flour, sugar, salt and yeast in large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix whipping cream, milk and yolk.
Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cream solution.
With a whisk, mix it up until it becomes a dough.
Once it becomes a lumpy grainy dough, you can start using your hands to knead it.
Knead until the dough is smooth and not grainy nor rough. It should feel smooth in your hands.
It takes about 15 minutes or longer, depending how you knead it.
When the dough is satin smooth, add in the butter.
Knead it well to let the butter incorporate fully into the dough.
It may feel a little wet at first and may stick to your hands.
Knead until it is non sticky. Kneading this time should take about 30 mins the least.
Stretch a little of the dough, it should not tear off easily and it feels like stretching a thin layer and looks translucent against the light.
If it tears off and looks jaggery, it means you have not kneaded enough.
Once the texture is reached, form it into a ball, leave it in a large stainless steel bowl that has been well oiled and cover with cling film. No droughts.
Put it in a warm place and proof for about an hour or a little more. It should double or triple in size.
Remove the dough, punch down to deflate gas inside.
Divide it into 2 balls. Let it rest for a further 15 minutes in the bowl, covered.
Roll each dough out into a rectangle piece, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar in the center part.
Place extra butter slices about 2cm apart in a row.
Roll it up like a swiss roll and fold down the two ends below.
Let it sit in your loaf pan and cover with cling wrap.
Rest it for another 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat your oven to 180 deg C.

Bake it for about 20 minutes.

Note:
The above recipes is for making 2 loaves of cinnamon bread. You can make the mini sausage bun by just roll the dough with the mini sausage in it, glaze the bun with beaten eggs and sprinkle some sesame seed on it. HAPPY BAKING!

Nutella Frosted Cup Cakes

Nutella Frosted Cupcakes

I love cooking & baking☻. Everything’s about food will sure attracts me. The main purpose I start this foodie BLOG is to jotted down my journey in exploring and experimenting new recipes. Besides sharing my cooking and recipes with my family and friends here. One of the main reason I started baking is for my 3 kids. They loved bread & cakes, especially cheesecake so much. Pizza & tarts too.
I tried this Nutella Cup Cakes with the recipe I got from a great foodie blogger She Bakes & She Cook ☻ The cakes turn out great & taste heavenly. My daughters loved it !

One of my kids favourite cupcakes and here is the recipe :


Nutella Frosted Cupcakes

☻10 tbsp(140 gm) butter, softened
☻3/4 cup white sugar (120 gm) - I reduced 10gm
☻3 eggs1/2 tsp vanilla
☻1 3/4 cups (200 gm) plain flour
☻1/4 tsp salt
☻2 tsp baking powder

☻Nutella, approx. 1/3 cup

Method:

Preheat oven to 325F(190c). Line 12 muffin tins with paper liners (I baked at 170c for 20mins)


Cream together butter and sugar until light, about 2 minutes.


Add in eggs one at a time, until fully incorporated - Don’t worry if the batter doesn’t look smooth. Add vanilla, mix well.

Stir in flour, salt and baking powder until batter is uniform and no flour remains **(I sift the flour, baking powder and salt together before fold them in the butter mixture slowly spoon by spoon, mix well - the batter will be a bit sticky and thick**)


Using an ice cream scoop, fill each muffin liner with batter.


They should be 3/4 full, if you’re not using a scoop.


Top each cake with 1 1/2 tsp Nutella (I topped them with 1/2tsp)


Swirl Nutella in with a toothpick, making sure to fold a bit of batter up over the nutella.


Bake for 20 minutes.


Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.


☻Makes 12 cupcakes


Notes : I bake it at 170c as my oven are tend to get hot easily. I reduce the amount of sugar used, it's a bit sweet for my taste buds.

It's not easy to swirl the Nutella in the batter for the first time. Practice makes perfect. Must try this okay! It smells & tastes heavenly yummy ! ~
