Whole Wheat Naan



My bread machine was literally busy everyday for the past few weeks. I use it not only for bread, also chapati dough and naan dough.

It is a perfect tool for making home-made naan, this time I modify the recipe a little, adding whole wheat flour and handful of wheat germ to make it a little healthier.

We liked the out come, and so does our guest!

Edamame salad 【凉拌毛豆荚】


This Edamame/green soy bean dish is a very simple, tasty and healthy snack.

The Soy plants I planted in the spring is now time to harvest, it is about time to make us some yummy snack this afternoon!

这是跟网友爱厨学的小吃。是台湾那里喝泡沫红茶时很多人喜欢点的小食,我每次做老公都可以一边看电影一边把一磅的毛豆都搞定。

今年春天的时候我在后院种了十几棵的毛豆,长得非常好,结的豆荚都很饱满。今天收一盆回来做这个凉拌毛豆吃。

Healthy Bread (Water Roux Starter)



I am getting better with bread I guess.

Today I decided to make multigrain healthy bread, that was the whole purpose learning to make bread at home actually, to be able to make healthier bread.

Multigrain would be tougher I am sure.... I thus decided to knead the dough longer, and raise the dough at low temperature (inside the fridge) overnight. This way the yeast could work on the dough slowly and will not over ferment and make it sourish.

The result was amazing, the bread turned out so soft and taste heavenly !

Dinner Rolls (Water Roux Starter) 【汤种餐包】


I bought a bread machine recently. 

I have never made bread before, so I decided to start with something easier, which is dinner rolls to pilot test the machine.


I do not have bread flour at home, so my first batch of dinner rolls are made of all purpose flour.


买了一个面包机,就想先试试功能,不做太复杂的,就做简单的餐包。

家里没有高筋面粉,用的是普通面粉。方子是结合几个高手的,我随手记录一下。

Huat Kueh (发糕)



Today is the ninth day of Chinese New Year,the hokkian normally has to pray to the god of heaven (天公),We normally buy this huat kueh for the prayer, it symbolize prosperity and growth.

I didnt quite like the colouring part of the huat kueh bought, so I found this recipe online using the natural colour from the red rice wine lees. (The remains from making red rice wine).

The house smells so good when I steamed the kueh....
