Fried Carrot Cake and Vegetarian Noodles for breakfast

Saturday was a rainy morning so lazy to go market to buy breakfast. Told hubby maybe I fry carrot cake for breakfast. 

Hubby: mummy, you frying carrot cake? If not, I going to cook instant mee liao. 
Mummy quickly got out of bed and make these for breakfast.

Dinner on 27.02.17

I am flying off on Wednesday and decided to cook a good dinner for the family. Invited my parents, Vernon's aunt and sis in law over for dinner.

No exact measurement of the recipe.

Ingredients:

Chopped carrots
Minced chicken
Prawn Paste
Prawn bits
spring onions

Use low heat to fry them as they get burnt easily.

Min Jiang Kueh

I have been wanting to attempt to make min jiang kueh. Came across this video on https://www.facebook.com/meatmen.sg/videos/970140706360472/ in the morning so decided to make this for Brayden's breakfast before he goes for his Sat classes.

I think it needs a longer time to ferment. I prepared it in the morning.

I brought the peanut powder from NTUC.

Baked Salmon and potatoes

Hubby wanted a simple dinner on Friday so baked Salmon and potatoes for him

Simple breakfast

I learnt this method of steaming egg from the farm host during the holidays. 

She steamed 4 eggs at one go. Boil the water in the pan. Put in the baking paper and pour the eggs into the baking paper. Steam for 2 minutes. woohoo.... Sunny Side up without oil.

Pizza

My first bake for 2015.

Feeling bored at home since I cannot go anywhere. Decided to make pizza for the family. Think I have not made this for almost 7-8 years. Haha. I used the breadmaker to knead the dough.

Verdict: Crust is too thick and not cheesy enough.

My loyal supporter for food. :)

Hakka Soon Kueh aka Hakka Soon Pan

Hakka Soon Kueh aka Hakka Soon Pan-Father's day celebration on 15.06.14

I remembered my late paternal grandmother often made these for the family. However, I did not manage to learn the recipe for the soon kueh skin. I only remembered that she had to steam yam and mashed it. She also took out a dough and cooked it in boiling water. I googled and found this method quite similar to my grandmother's. http://wlteef.blogspot.sg/2008/10/hakka-soon-kueh.html

I also cooked the filling based on estimation and my family's taste.

1. Steam 300g yam and mash them with 150g of tapioca flour. I omit 5 spice powder as I don't remember my grandmother using them.

2. I fried dried cuttlefish, dried shrimps, black fungus, chinese mushrooms. orange tau kwa with the turnips.

When I was wrapping the soon kueh, I was thinking it shall be my last attempt. It was so hard managing the skin. they broke easily. :( 

However, I will attempt again as I was quite satisfied with the results.

Hakka Yong Tau Hoo

Hakka Yong Tau Hoo-Father's day celebration on 15.06.14

This is a dish that I learnt from my late paternal grandmother. My brother and father like this dish. Usually, we will use yellow beans and pork ribs to cook the soup base. Since I cooked Chicken Rice, I use the chicken stock as the soup base.

My hubby and helper do not take pork so I made some using minced chicken for them. 

The minced pork version.

 The yong tau hoo after frying. Some people will steam them. But frying them will be nicer.
