SOTO KAKI AYAM (Chicken Feet Soto)

  Scroll down to the bottom for English version

Salam sahabat2 semua. Musim PKP ni bagus sangat kalau sediakan masakan sendiri daripada beli dari luar. Tentu nya resepi yang mudah dengan bahan2 yg sedia ada dapat membantu anda untuk sediakan masakan2 yg istimewa untuk keluarga.

Maaf ya gambar cincai2 guna handphone, soto pon berterabur jer dalam pinggan tu sebab dah lapar sangat dan tak rancang nak masuk blog pon... tapi Along nak share juga sebab Soto ni guna rempah homemade tapi amat mudah utk menyediakan nya. Kaki ayam pula kumpul2 berlambak dalam petiais, buat sup memang sesuai sangat lah. Bagi yg tak gemar dgn kaki ayam boleh jer ganti dengan kerangka ayam.

Rempah soto ni Along tengok kat blog CheNom tapi kita adjust2 sikit ikut citarasa sendiri. TQ CheNom, Along suka tengok video2 CheNom yg mantap.

Resepi di bawah ni Along cuba ringkaskan seboleh nya supaya mudah nak rujuk, kalau tidak nanti takut panjang berjela pula. Kalau ada apa2 yg kurang jelas sila lah tanya ya.

Bingka Ubikayu Filifina (Cassava Cake with Custard Topping)

 Scroll down to the bottom for English version

Assalamualaikum pembaca yang sudi singgah di blog Along yang sudah lebih setahun sunyi tanpa update. Tetiba harini rasa rindu pulak nak update sesuatu. 

Kelmarin ada  pula mencuba kuih ni yang agak berbeda dari bingka di Malaysia dengan tekstur yang lembut dan topping kastad yang manis. Bingka Malaysia agak kenyal tetapi versi filifina ni menggunakan santan yg agak banyak kuantiti nya dan hanya menggunakan susu pekat sebagai pemanis tanpa gula. Itu yang buatkan Along rasa tertarik nak mencuba sebab curious nak merasa nya.

Rasa nya lemak manis dan amat lembut dan sesuai sebagai pemanis mulut terutama selepas berbuka puasa kelmarin. Bagi yg tak gemarkan manis, boleh skip taburan gula perang.

1 Ib Ubikayu (di sagat)
14oz Susu Pekat Manis

7oz Susu Pekat Manis
1/4 cwn Single Cream / Susu Cair Evaporated
2 bj Telur
1 st Esen Vanilla
1-2 sb Gula Perang (utk tabur)

2. Campurkan kesemua bahan2 kuih.

Hi everyone!! I hope all are well and stay cool and safe during this pandemic time. Sorry for a long disappearing action due to hectic retirement life. I'm glad my retirement life is so fulfilling but sorry that blogging has not been easy for me nowadays. I've been cooking and baking a lot but not much opportunities to do a proper photographing and sitting behind pc can be a back torture sometimes.

Anyway, here sharing a recipe I tried yesterday. Didn't manage to capture a great photos... no special table set up and using just a handphone camera but hopefully something to kick this blog alive.

I was attracted to try this one because it seems quite different than our Malaysian bingka. It is much softer in texture and not springy due to a lot of cream added to it producing very delicious creamy and soft kuih. The bottom is moderate sweetness but complimented well by its sweet custard topping. The sugar sprinkles is a killer for me and will skip next time.

CASSAVA CAKE WITH CUSTARD TOPPING

TOPPING:
7oz Condensed Milk
1/4 cup Single Cream / Evaporated Milk
2 large Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
1-2 tbsp Brown Sugar (for sprinkling)

METHOD:
1. Preheat oven 180C. Grease baking tin well with butter.
2. Mix all cake ingredients and bake for 50 minutes.
3. Mix all topping ingredients and pour onto baked cakes and continue baking for another 20 minutes.
4. Sprinkle with brown sugar and broil for about 2 minutes until the brown sugar melt and caramelised. Skip this step if you prefer moderate sweetness.

Air Fryer Omelet ( Telur Dadar Air Fryer )

  You should try making omelet in air fryer... for many reasons! I talked a lot about air fryer in my previous post here. You can make thick omelet without having to worry about the typical problems of uncooked and yet burned omelet when cooked in a pan above a stove. I now can enjoy thick, fluffy and juicy omelet.

See the second photo how to place it in the air fryer. Use a pan smaller than the air fryer pot and cook about 10-15 minutes at 140C. Herewith, I'm using only 4 eggs + 1 tbsp oil + chopped bean curd + spring onions + tomato + salt + pepper. Test done-ness and add extra cooking time as necessary... after several attempt you will understand better your own air fryer.

 BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
   Memang berbaloi dan mudah kerja memasak dengan air fryer ni. Along ada citer pasal air fryer kat sini kalau minat nak beli air fryer tapi unsure, boleh lah baca pengalaman Along kat situ.

 Meh cuba buat telur dadar pulak kali ni. Along suka sebab cara begini dapat hasilkan telur dadar yang tebal dan gebu serta juicy. Kalau nak buat yg tebal dalam kuali agak susah sebab tengah nya lambat masak dan di luar mudah hangus.

  Cara nak masak nya mudah jer, letak bancuhan telur ke dlm bekas aluminium yg muat ke dlm air fryer dan bakar 140C selama lebih kurang 10 minit - bergantung kpd saiz yg anda buat. Di sini Along guna 4 biji telur + 1 sb minyak + sekeping tauhu + daun bawang + tomato + garam + serbuk lada. Selepas 10 minit, test masak ke tak dan tambah masa jika perlu.

Soft Durian Puffs ( Karipap Apam Durian )

Durian season is now over... however, the sensational durian delicacies made many months ago were still freshly luring in my mind for its sweet, creamy and special fragrance!

No fuss with only three ingredients to produce amazingly soft puffs. The creamy durian fillings perfectly complement the soft fluffy skin in each and every bites! Perhaps, the filling preparation will require little bit more effort and for some people who hate standing up long beside the stove due to aging knees (am referring to myself actually....LOL!) will still not complaining for the craze of durian!

I may not post this in the right timing or season for you to try but in some places you can get durian throughout the year long....

If you require the recipe in English, just shout and will be happy to do so. The recipe is quite long to type, so will do so only if anyone needs it.

Here is the recipe in English... hope you will enjoy making them...

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
  Musim durian memang dah abis tapi  godek2 jumpa lak photo ni dalam handphone. Walau pun dah beberapa bulan yg lalu, tapi keenakan nya masih terasa. Sayang pulak kalau tidak di kongsikan resepi ni.
  Resepi ni di kongsikan oleh Iza Akma dalam tahun 2013... lama dah tu tapi baru ni Along mencuba. Memang berbaloi buat nya - kulit apam yg lembut dan inti yg enak meleleh, sebiji memang tak cukup sekali cuba nak lagi!
  Nak buat tak susah sebab bahan2 tak banyak tapi kena rajin sikit lah nak godek masak sebiji2 tu. Tak lama nak masak dia pun sebentar sahaja. Dapat banyak biji juga walau pun tepung yg sedikit. Lupa pulak nak tulis berapa biji sewaktu buat dulu tu.

4. Terus letakkan inti durian selepas di angkat dan picit2 ditepi nya untuk melekatkan. Boleh juga guna acuan karipap jika suka.
