Assorted Sushi

We had heavy breakfast and kids wanted to eat sushi for lunch which is light enough.

Here is how I made my sushi :

INGREDIENTS:
2 cup Japanese sushi rice (or use high starch content rice)
2 cup Water
1 packet of Seaweed sheets
3½ tbsp Rice Vinegar
1 tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Mustard powder + 3 tbsp Mayonaise
ASSORTED FILLINGS:
Fish fillet, crab sticks, sausages, carrot, cucumber, avocado, prawns

METHOD:
1. Cook rice in a rice cooker.

2. Fillings can be deepfried in batter (except vegetables) or steam.

3.On a bamboo mat, place a piece of plastic & a piece of seaweed sheet.
Spread enough rice about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread mayonaise & place fillings.
Roll tightly and slice.

4. Serve with Japanese soya sauce & wasabi.

Moist Fried Kway Teow

Simple breakfast today but as usual we like to have something heavy in the weekend morning and go for lighter lunch.

For recipe, refer to my earlier posting Fried Mee but in addition, I also throw in cockles, chives and oyster sauce.

Pandan Coconut Cake


 This is a lovely cake with perfect combination of Pandan & Coconut aroma. My husband loves Bounty Chocolate bars so I thought this cake will suit his taste but surprisingly everyone in the house loves it too. I baked the cake for a charity event this morning so hubby & kids did not have enough, so will bake this again one day.

I was attracted to try this recipe when I saw it at Cek De Sam's blog. Original recipe is from Noraini. The recipe suggests for 9 inch square tin which I followed but I find that is too thin. I would suggest for 8 inch square tin instead.

INGREDIENTS:
270g Butter
230g Castor Sugar
5 Eggs
60ml Coconut Cream
1 tbsp Coconut Paste
240g Cake Flour*
½ tsp Baking Powder* (*sifted together)
30g Desicated Coconut

METHOD:
1. Preheat oven 180C and grease 8 inch square tin.

2. Beat butter & sugar until white & fluffy.
Add in egg one by one while beating.
Add in coconut cream & pandan paste.
Add in flour gradually followed by desicated coconut.
Sprinkle topping and bake for 40 minutes or until cooked.

3. To make topping (I skipped this step), beat 40g butter & 35g icing sugar & add 55g desicated coconut.
