Merry X'mas! Chocolate and Raisin Cookies

Belated Merry X'mas and Happy New Year!! This is what I baked and gave to my colleagues and friends before Christmas. I baked cookies in three batches: first was with chocolate chips, second batch was with M & M(as nose or mouth) and raisins(as eyes) and third batch was using chocolate chips and raisins.

All these are using the recipe I posted earlier.

Besides cookies, I also baked and gave chocolate cupcakes. This time I used another easy chocolate cakes recipe. Will post the recipe later. Stay tune. :)

Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I know what to give to my dear colleagues but still tossing with what type of cookies to bake. As X'mas celebration is just in few days time, I need to look for something easy and quick to make. This recipe does not require mixer and is a one bowl formula!

I did not use wheat flour but self raising flour and it turned out pretty good for my first attempt! Just the right texture, not too hard nor soft. As I added orange zest, it did give a hint of refreshing orange flavor. Guessed my colleagues will like it! Very good recipe to adopt.

Ingredients: (make 44-45 cookies)
2/3 cup brown sugar (I used 1/3 cup)
1/3 cup vegetable oil (I used olive oil)
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 large egg
1 cup self Raising flour (sifted-I omitted baking powder and salt)
70gm dark chocolate chips
Zest from 1/2 orange

Methods:
1. Preheat oven to 175 deg C. Lined with cooking sheet.
2. Mix together brown sugar, oil, vanilla essence and egg. When well mixed, add self raising flour and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and orange zest.
3. Scoop small teaspoon of soft dough onto cooking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
4. Cookies is ready when edge turn slightly brown.
5. Cool on wire rack. Dust with icing sugar.

Although it's not very creative, but it's christmasy. Therefore I have submitted this post to very good recipes white Christmas challenge.

As X'mas is around the corner, I need to look for a easy and fast to make, no mixer required orange cake recipe. Among all that I have searched, this Martha stewart's recipe post is one that fits my requirement:

1/2 cup 2 tsp caster sugar (I only used 1/2 cup)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup plain yogurt (equivalent to 1 cup of Meiji low fat plain yogurt)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Zest and juice from 1/2 orange
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

1 orange (segmented)
Icing sugar for dusting

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 175 deg C.
2. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
3. Pour yogurt, oil, egg, vanilla essence, orange zest and juice in a bowl. Stir well with a whisk.
4. Add sifted dry ingredients gradually till well mixed.
5. Fill each cup 3/4 full. Top with orange segment.
6. Bake for 25 minutes, till skewer comes out clean.

Easy Curry Tuna Pizza

I like to watch "省时间达人“and always inspired by how the guest chefs cooked. There was a few episodes that showed how to make pizza in different ways. I was inspired and came out with my own version:

6. Ready to serve.

Verdict: I liked the crispy prata crust! Although it was smaller and thinner than normal pizza, it was very filling. After having one for breakfast, I was already full.

Prawn Pancake

Each time we go to Ding Tai Fong(鼎泰丰）, we will order the prawn pancake. Recently saw a post by wokkingmum, she said that she likes to eat that too and shared her recipe. I get inspired and modified to this recipe:

Ingredients: (serving for 2)
15 medium prawns

1/2 tbsp corn flour
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp rice wine

Teriyaki Sweet Corn

I remembered during a trip to Bali last year , we had seafood dinner by a beach(don't know what beach). Before dinner were served, we saw a guy selling BBQ corn near the shore and the smell was so good. We can't resist the smell, so each bought one corn. It was not the normal butter corn, taste more like marinated in teriyaki sauce. It was so good, I had 2 in a row before dinner were served. That experience was so unforgettable and I hope to bring back that sweet taste I had. So here is what I did:

Ingredients:
1 corn (cut to half)
Some Teriyaki sauce
Some olive oil and salt

Method:
1. Preheat oven at 180 deg C. (better if you have grill pan)
1. Blanch corn in boiling water with a few drop of Olive oil and a pinch of salt. Blanch for 5 minutes. Set aside.
2. Brush corn evenly with teriyaki sauce and wrap in aluminum foil.
3. Bake/grill for 15 minutes.
4. Ready to serve.

As I baked the corn and not grilled, the corn lacked the burnt taste and smell as the one in Bali. Maybe next time I should marinate for 1 day before grill? Anyway, overall it was good, but can be better. ;)

Papaya Milk木瓜牛奶

I miss Taiwan and hope i can go there for holiday next year. Each time i go, night markets especially 师大夜市 is a place that i cannot miss.

200g papaya
120g milk (I choose low fat milk)
1 tbs honey
Some ice cubes

Method:
Put everything in juicer and blend well, ready to serve.

Note: I like more papaya in my milk, that's why the ratio is not 1:1 as the adopted recipe.

Not sure if this recipe passed this month Aspiring Bakers: enjoy cupcakes! Criteria, I still try and submit this post to Aspiring Bakers #13: Enjoy Cupcakes! (November 2011) hosted by Min of Min's Blog.

Lemon Yuzu Cupcakes

Recently I bought a packet of Marigold Peel Fresh Yuzu juice. And thinking I can substitute lemon juice with Yuzu juice (both are from citrus fruits) if i am baking lemon cupcakes. So I adopted recipe from 爱丝特 and modified from there:

Ingredients: (make 15 small cupcakes)
100g margarine
60g caster sugar
2 eggs
120g top flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/2 potion of lemon peel (fine chopped)
1/2 tbsp +1/2 tsp Yuzu juice

Method:
1. Beat margarine till smooth.
2. Add half potion of sugar each time, till mixture turn slightly pale.
3. Add egg, pour 1/4 potion each time till mix well.
4. Add sifted top flour, baking powder and salt. Use spatula to mix well.
5. Add lemon peel and Yuzu juice, mix well.
6. Fill 3/4 cup full and put in preheated oven at 160 degree, bake for 20 minutes.
7. Cool on rack and ready to serve.

I go less with sugar(adopted recipe use 100g), and substitute with 1/2 tsp more Yuzu juice(adopted recipe only use 1 tbsp of juice), in hope of "borrow" the sweetness from the juice.
I like the fluffy texture! Also each bite With lemon peel bits. Yuzu juice does give a hint of yuzu flavour to the cake, and it complimented the lemon peel bits and gave out a nice citrus aroma.

I used fruit tea instead of Earl grey tea as I have a box of fruit tea teabag in my kitchen cabinet that's still not opened. And also this is my first time using tea in cupcakes, I want to see how well it turned out. Surprisingly, it turned out quite well, very spongy and has very nice berry aroma. I don't like to add frosting on top as i find frosting too sweet, so I sprinkled some mixed seeds instead.

Luncheon Meat Fried Rice

对飞机餐没有太大的期望，也就没有太大的惊喜和期待。最近，坐了目前生平最长的一次飞机，来回长达56小时！一趟27小时，就吃了5次飞机餐！因为知道到了美国一定餐餐吃西餐，所以在飞机上全程选中餐或亚洲餐。其中一餐我只有两个选择：烤鸡或炒饭。乘上桌的炒饭没有其他配菜，只有杂菜和蛋炒的饭。凭卖相，本以为淡而无味，但却出乎我意料的香。我一口气吃完，这也是我在飞机上这56个小时里吃过最好吃的飞机餐！

回来后，还对SQ的炒饭念念不忘，想再重温当时的味道，所以去NTUC买了冷冻杂菜包，希望能够炒回当时的味道。（看以下食谱）
对这次的炒饭非常满意！之前都炒不出这样的水准！而且跟我在飞机上吃的炒饭是一摸摸一样样！（我还加料：午餐肉）太好吃了！下次我要煮给妈妈吃。在此也希望跟你分享这份喜悦！

Recently I flew to US by SQ, to and fro on the plane for almost 56 hours, and had a total of 10 meals! On my way to US, I asked for fried rice. When served, the main was just mixed veg fried rice with egg and nothing else. I thought it will taste bland, but to my surprise it was quite fragrant and tasty! And it was the best meal among all plane food that I had during that 56 hours.
It was so unforgettable and I wanted to bring back the same flavor when I came back to Singapore. So i bought mixed veg from NTUC and cooked luncheon meat fried rice.

Ingredients:
2 tbs of mixed veg
1 slice of luncheon meat (diced)
2 bowls of cooked rice
1 egg
1 tbs oyster sauce
A pinch of garlic powder, white pepper and some fish sauce to taste

Method:
1. Fried egg to just cook, set aside.
2. Boil mixed vegetable in water with a pinch of salt and olive oil, till soft and cooked. Set aside.
3. Fried luncheon meat dices till crispy.
4. Add mixed vegetable and fried with garlic powder and oyster sauce till fragrant.
5. Add rice and fried egg, stir well.
6. Sprinkle white pepper and fish sauce and stir fried till fragrant.
7. Ready to serve.

I am so proud of myself! because this is exactly how SQ fried rice tasted like, with added ingredient:luncheon meat! Will cooked this again for my mom.
