CONFINEMENT

I've finally decided the confinement food menu that I'm gonna order from Peiling and faxed over to them already. In the first 14 days, I'm only ordering 1 meat, 1 vege, 1 soup, 1 brown & 1 white rice (enough for lunch & dinner), plus delivery fees, it cost close to RM700. If the quality of food & service are good, I will then order for another 14 days but might slightly change the combination of menu.

Based on my estimation, this whole confinement food catering will cost me around RM1500 for 28 days and on top of that, I'll still need to buy some herbs like Dong Guai, Dong Chung Chou, Pao Sum etc & Kampung Chicken & liquor to make double- boiled herbal soup from 14th day onwards. Not forgetting also the Red Dates, Dong Sum & Kei Zhi to prepare the daily herbal tea to drink.

Well if I can work within a budget of 2 - 2.5k, it is still cheaper than getting a confinement lady isn't it? In my last confinement where my aunty was helping me day care, I've also spent nearly 2k on just buying the raw food, herbs & wine so to me I still think DIY it this time can save me a bomb.

Banana cake recipe (no butter)

Ingredients

3 - 5 over ripe bananas
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Whip the banana's for about 5 minutes. Then add eggs and vanilla

Pour the batter in a greased and floured pan. Any size will do. This mixture will also fit nicely into 2 loaf pans.

Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes, and then check with a clean dry knife. If it comes out clean it's done. If not give it another 10 minutes and check again.

Icing:

1 cup of confectioners sugar
Drizzel in some coffee a little at a time and mix until you have the consistency you want, and then ice the cake!

BROWNIES

bahan:
4 butir telur
2 cup gula pasir (untuk yg gak suka manis, biasanya aku kurangin jadi 1 1/2 atau 1 3/4)
1 cup minyak goreng (pake minyak tidak jenuh supaya sehat. i.e. minyak canola, minya kedelai, etc. Tapi pake minyak goreng biasa juga gpp kok)
3/4 cup bubuk coklat
1 1/2 cup tepung terigu
1 sdt garam
2 sdt vanili
cincangan kacang tanah
cara membuat:
- Telur dikocok sampai mengembang.
- Masukkan gula sambil dikocok terus. Masukkan bahan-bahan lainnya, aduk perlahan-lahan sampai tercampur.
- Olesi loyang dengan mentega, panaskan oven 160 derajat celcius.
- Tuang adonan ke loyang, panggang� 35 menit. Test dengan tusuk gigi/lidi yang bersih.
- Dinginkan sebelum dikeluarkan dari loyang dan dipotong-potong. Demikian resep aslinya. Aku suka tambahin coklat chips kurang lebih 1/4 sampai 1/2 cup untuk yang suka dalemnya moist dan pekat. Kalo ditambahin coklat chips, loyang sebaiknya di alasi kertas kue supaya coklat chipsnya gak nempel dan hangus di loyang.Happy baking! (I have no secret anymore..)

Low Fat Baking Subsitutions

Cookie recipes don’t fare as well with substitutions, unfortunately, but you can try substituting a little bit of fruit puree for butter (and up to half) and see how you like it. Plain non-fat yogurt can be used to substitute for sour cream in baking and cooking with no discernible difference.

Other low-fat substitutions:
•1 cup whole milk = 1 cup skim milk

•1 cup buttermilk = 1 Tbsp vinegar OR 1 Tbsp lemon juice + enough skim milk to make 1 cup

•1 cup heavy cream = 1 cup evaporated skim milk OR 1/2 cup low-fat yogurt + 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese

•1 cup sour cream = 1 can chilled evaporated skim milk whipped with 1 tsp lemon juice OR 1 cup low- or non-fat yogurt

•1 cup cream cheese = 4 Tbsp margarine + 1 cup dry low-fat cottage cheese (+ a little skim milk if needed)

•1 cup butter or oil = 2/3 cup applesauce or other puree

•1 egg = 2 egg whites

Do you have any tips for low-fat baking?

Shrimp Fried Rice Recipe


Shrimp Fried Rice Recipe
Serves 4

  • 8 ounces small uncooked shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or 1/2 tsp kosher salt)
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil (divided)
  • 3 eggs, beaten in a small bowl
  • 2 stalks scallion or green onion, minced
  • 4 cups previously cooked leftover rice, grains separated well
  • 3/4 cup frozen carrots and peas, defrosted
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce if you are making a gluten-free version)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the salt, pepper and cornstarch. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  • Heat a wok or large sauté pan on high heat. When the pan is hot enough for a bead of water to instantly sizzle and evaporate, add only 1 tablespoon of the cooking oil and swirl to coat pan.
  • Now add the shrimp, quickly spreading out around the pan so that they are not overlapping. Let the shrimp fry, untouched for 30 seconds. Flip over and let the other side fry for 30 seconds, or until about 80% cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the pan onto a plate, leaving as much oil in the pan as possible.
  • Turn the heat to medium and let the pan heat up again. Pour in the eggs, stirring in a quick motion to break up and scramble the eggs. When the eggs are almost cooked through (they should still be slightly runny in the middle), dish out of the frying pan onto the same plate as the cooked shrimp.
  • Use a paper towel to wipe the same wok or sauté pan clean (no need to wash) and return to high heat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, swirling to coat. When the oil is very hot, add the green onions and stir fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add in the rice and stir well to mix in the green onions throughout. Spread the rice all around the wok surface area and let the rice heat up, untouched until you hear the bottoms of the grains sizzle, about 1-2 minutes. Use the spatula to toss the rice, again spreading the rice out over the surface of wok or pan
  • Drizzle the soy sauce all around the rice and toss. Add the peas and carrots, the cooked eggs, shrimp and sesame oil, tossing to mix the rice evenly with all of the ingredients. Let everything heat back up again, until the rice grains are so hot they practically dance! Taste and add an additional 1 teaspoon of soy sauce if needed.

Vietnamese Spring Rolls Recipe (Cha Gio)(Red Lantern Crisp Parcels)

2¾ ounces dried bean thread noodles (or mung bean noodles)
1¾ ounces dried mushroom strips, such as wood ear mushrooms or Chinese black fungus
½ pound ground pork
½ pound ground chicken
1 pound carrots, grated
½ onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons fine white pepper
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
20 spring (egg) roll wrappers,
8½ inches square

Dipping fish sauce, for serving

  • Soak the noodles and mushroom strips separately in cold water for 20 minutes, then drain and drip dry in a colander.
  • Cut the noodles into 1½-inch-long pieces, then combine with all of the filling ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Cut the spring roll wrappers diagonally to form two triangles, then separate them into single sheets.
  • Place a piece of wrapper on a plate with the base of the triangle facing you.
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto the middle of the bottom edge of the wrapper and fold the two adjacent sides, one on top of the other into the center.
  • Roll toward the apex to form a nice firm roll, and secure with a dab of flour mixed with some water. Repeat until you have filled all of the wrappers.
  • When freshly rolled, the cha gio can be deep-fried in oil preheated to 350 degrees F or until a cube of bread dropped in the oil browns in 15 seconds.
  • Alternatively, you can store them in the freezer and cook when needed.
  • These can be cooked and eaten on their own, dipped in dipping fish sauce, or placed on top of a dressed vermicelli salad. At Red Lantern, we like to wrap the parcels in lettuce with herbs and serve with dipping fish sauce.
    Note: Be sure you use the spring roll wrappers as soon as they thaw.

Healthy Homemade Cake Recipe Tips

When baking with butter:
Room-temperature butter in the cake batter is one of the biggest cake baking mistakes. In fact, butter must be below 68°F to trap air molecules and build structure. Otherwise, the fat will liquefy and the cake will be flat.
To get “cool” butter:
Cut the chilled butter into chunks and let it sit in a bowl for 5 minutes before beating.

When mixing cake batter:
You cannot overbeat the eggs, sugar and butter, but you can overbeat the flour. If you do, gluten will form and you will be making a quick bread instead of a layer cake. Beat the flour just until there are no visible signs of dry flour, but not until the batter is completely smooth.

Cake flour:
Cake flour is milled from soft wheat that has a lower gluten content and higher starch content than all-purpose flour. It helps to ensure a fluffy texture in cakes and pastries. A substitute for cake flour is to use all-purpose flour, but reduce the amount by 2 tablespoons per cup.

pound cake recipe

Recipe:
1 3/4 cups (230 grams) cake flour, sifted
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup (226 grams) (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (200 grams) superfine or castor sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Zest of a lemon or orange (optional)
Note: To make your own superfine sugar - place 1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar in the bowl of your food processor. Process until very fine, about 30 seconds.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Butter or spray with a pan spray, a 9 x 5 x 3 inch (23 x 13 x 8 cm) loaf pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and butter or spray the paper.
  • In a large bowl, sift together twice, the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the butter until creamy and smooth. Gradually add the sugar, beating continuously on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (this will take about 5 minutes). Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • After about five minutes the batter should be light in color and fluffy in texture. Then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. You will notice that the batter will look curdled. Don't worry as the batter will come together again after you add the flour mixture. Add the vanilla and lemon zest, if using, and beat until incorporated.
  • Add the flour mixture and mix just until incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the cake from the pan and cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature
    Will keep several days well wrapped or it can be frozen for a month.
  • Makes one 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf.

tips membuat cake

  • Jangan meletakan loyang terlalu dekat dengan sumber api pada bagian bawahnya (atau suhu oven terlalu panas) karena permukaan cake bagian atas masih tetap basah walaupun bagian bawahnya sudah hangus.
  • Jika cetakan terlalu tinggi sehingga bagian atas loyang dengan dinding atas oven terlalu dekat atau jika suhu oven terlalu panas maka hasil cake juga tidak akan sempurna karena bagian atas cake sudah hangus sementara bagian tengahnya masih belum matang.
  • Dasar loyang sebaiknya dilapisi dengan kertas roti dan jangan dipoles dengan margarine, serta ditaburi tepung karena akan membuat bagian bawah cake menjadi tebal dan terkelupas.
  • Memanggang cake yang tipis membutuhkan suhu oven yang lebih tinggi (± 200°C), sedangkan untuk memanggang cake yang tebal suhu oven harus lebih rendah (± 180°C).
  • Bungkus cake dengan aluminium foil dan masukkan ke dalam freezer, maka cake akan tahan lebih dari 5 minggu.
  • Oven sudah harus dalam keadaan panas sebelum cake dibakar. Air kukusan juga sudah harus dalam kondisi mendidih sebelum mengukus kue.
  • Coklat bubuk dalam adonan harus diayak bersamaan dengan tepung terigu yang digunakan membuat cake, supaya coklatnya dapat tersebar lebih merata dan tidak berbutir-butir dalam adonan.
  • Pewarna cair yang digunakan harus dimasukkan pada saat adukan pertama. Jika dimasukkan pada saat adonan sudah jadi, maka volume cake tidak akan maksimal.
  • Margarine cair harus dalam keadaan dingin sebelum ditambahkan ke dalam adonan cake. Jika panas, maka tekstur cake yang dihasilkan akan menjadi kasar.
  • Jika cake ingin diberi butter cream, usahakan cake sudah dalam keadaan dingin selama 2 jam. Jika tidak, maka butter cream akan meleleh dan cake menjadi tidak tahan lama.
  • Adonan yang paling cocok untuk membuat cake yang diberikan buah adalah adonan pound cake.
  • Jangan memasukkan beberapa jenis buah-buahan yang berlendir di dalam adonan cake untuk isian, sebab akan membuat cake menjadi tidak tahan lama.

chicken curry nyonya


Ingredients:
1 pack instant curry paste (8 oz or 250 grams)8 oz peeled potatoes4 chicken leg quarters (4 drumsticks and 4 thighs or 2 lbs chicken)3 shallots (peeled and sliced thinly)2 lemongrass (use the white parts only, pounded)1 tablespoon oil2 cups water/500 ml (use less water if you want thicker curry or more if you want more curry sauce)1/2 cup coconut milk (100 ml)Some curry leaves (optional)
Method:
Cut the chicken into pieces. Leave the chicken bone-in. If you prefer boneless chicken meat, then debone the chicken.
Heat up a deep pot and add the oil. Saute the sliced shallots until aromatic or light brown in color. Add the curry paste into the pot and stir until aromatic. Add the chicken meat and lemongrass. Stir for 1 minute before adding the water.
Cover the pot and lower the heat to medium. Bring the curry chicken to boil and then lower the heat, add the potatoes and simmer for 20 minutes or so or until the chicken become tender. Add the coconut milk and bring it to boil. Serve hot.
Alternatively, you can leave the chicken overnight before adding the coconut milk the next day. This cooking method ensures that the chicken meat is really tender and aromatic as the flavor develops overnight. Serve the chicken curry the next day if you use this method.

chicken shepherd pie

Ingredients
2 1/2 to 3 pounds (about 4 large) Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1 tablespoon EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small dice
Salt and ground black pepper
1 cup store-bought shredded carrots, roughly chopped
1/2 10-ounce box (about 1 cup) frozen peas
7 to 8 scallions, thinly sliced
6 sprigs of tarragon, leaves removed and chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 5-ounce package soft garlic and herb cheese, such as Boursin
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup (about a handful) flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 cup milk or chicken stock, to loosen potatoes
Paprika, for garnish

Yields: 6-8 servings
Preparation
Preheat broiler.
In a medium-size pot, add potatoes and cover with cold water. Bring up to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Once the potatoes have finished cooking, drain them and put them back into the same pot they were boiled in.

While potatoes are cooking, place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 turn of the pan of EVOO, about 1 tablespoon. Add the chicken, season it with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 6-7 minutes.
While potatoes are cooking, place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 turn of the pan of EVOO, about 1 tablespoon. Add the chicken, season it with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 6-7 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the pan to a plate or bowl and toss the carrots, peas, scallions and tarragon into the pan. Season the veggies with a little salt and pepper, and cook until tender, about 2 minutes.

Scoot everything in the pan over to one side and melt in the butter. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and cook for about 1 minute. Whisk the white wine and chicken stock into the flour-butter mixture and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Season the sauce with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper, then add the chicken back to the pan along with the Dijon mustard. Give everything a good stir and turn it out into a casserole dish.

When your potatoes are done cooking and drained, add the herb cheese, egg yolks, parsley, milk or chicken stock and some salt and pepper to the spuds. Mash them up until they're the consistency you like (you can add more liquid if you like them a little thinner), then spread them over top of the chicken and veggie filling in the casserole dish.
Put the dish under the broiler until the top is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Keep your eye on it so it doesn't burn!

When the casserole comes out of the oven, dust the top lightly with some paprika and serve it up with your favorite salad alongside.
