Chinese New Year Kueh (aka Nian Gao)

I was doing housekeeping at home and found two pieces of this CNY must-have kueh. Not wanted to waste it (last year still in my fridge :p), I used some coconut to turn it into a nice dessert dish! Hubby loves it and pesters me to make more! hehe!

Ingredient:

- 1 piece Nian Gao (refer picture far below)

- 1 packet of coconut (not the coconut milk hor, can get it from major supermarkets, I got mine from ShopnSave)

- 2 teaspoons of salt

How to do it:

- Steam the Nian Gao in the wok together with the water for about 15-20mins (Notice that I didnt say "boil the water first". I 'boiled' it with the water)

- Once the Nian Gao turned soft, off the fire.

- Pour out the coconut on a plate, add in the salt and mixed.

- Used spoon to scoop a spoonful of the Nian Gao and roll over the coconut.

This is Nian Gao, one of CNY must-have goodies!

My first Sushi attempt

I finally started my very first sushi creation. Dont dare to be too ambitious so just made a very simple one (definitely idiot proof!) haha! But of course, lots of improvement still, the taste is ok but the look..ermm....gee, I have got a long way to go! hehe!

Ingredients:

- rice, approximately 2 scoops
- 2 large pieces of seaweed
- 2 tablespoons seasoning (refer far bottom on the package)

How to cook:

- Cook the rice as in usual way but add in a little more water than usual as needs it to be more damp.
- When the rice is cooked, add in the seasoning and stirred the rice with the seasoning.
- Make into the usual rectangle shape and roll the seaweed over it.

This is the seasoning packet I bought from Daiso at Plaza Sing.

Experimenting my dishes

hehe...so paiseh, I havent been updating any recipes recently...yeah, cos they are not ready to be 'seen' yet....still at the experimental stage...

I was trying to make some wantons for the family but it turned out quite horrible....then I was making some jelly using apple juice (real apple juice, with the new juice mixer I bought recently) but the taste turned out quite funnily and Trenyce rejected it outright! sigh...more experiments to improve on the receipes...

Pls bear with me.....
