Thermomix Tomato Eggs

 Made these tomato eggs lately and has been on a come-back often. Kids love it and its easy n light dish for my diet too. 

A lot of people dont know thermomix can actually fry eggs, but of cos without the wok hey. It is more like a cooked version of scrambled eggs? I would totally have these with my brunch platter. ❤️

I have used the same method to fry my brinjal, my bittergourd and the most favourite is to pair with tomatoes!

Egg Fried Rice (Thermomix)

Been a while I have not updated my blog. Too busy with house shifting, then the Chinese New Year, still settling in and then the PSLE kid. Tiring 😅

Today sharing a simple Egg Fried Rice Recipe that I have done with my thermomix. Using a fried eggs tips shared by my team’s advisor on how to have fried eggs! YES! FRIED EGGS! Not too bad for a TM-version without an oily kitchen. ❤️

Tips for higher success-rate Fried Rice would be using cooled rice, and preferably basmati rice. Using jasmine rice and japanese rice is fine too, but if its not cooled well enough or its too wet, the chances of the fried rice being mashed up is high. So do be careful with your rice prior to making Fried rice. I would reduce 1-2mins of cooking time to ensure less wet and soft rice if you are

not using basmati rice.

You can see the video of the process from my instagram here as the video was too huge to upload. It really quite simple and I will write down the recipe and steps below for you all. 

Made some homemade chicken floss as toppings. Really just dumping meat and seasonings and let my thermomix do its magic. Added in toasted seaweed and seaame for a small portion to use. Yums! Smell so good! And important is you know what goes in this batch of floss and its preservatives and msg free! 

Hope you like my simple sharing for today!

Sponge Finger (Dessert Base)

In life imagination and expectations always turns out different. And some people maybe more artistic, or creative or something that is your own strength.

I was never the artistic person, a bit of creative maybe but I always tried my best. LoL! And remember never to be dishearted when things dont go your way, somehow some stuff are never meant to be! The same goes for friendship, relationship and even kinship. Toxic people just let go, mingle less if you cant. Year is coming to an end, lets set off to a more positive vibes year in 2022! Ok, getting a bit heavy now! 😅

Today I tried making some sponge fingers from scratch as I wan to build my own christmas house. Turns out I didnt have the flair for it so I decided to use it as a base for my dessert! 

Since I have some whipped cream and frozen fruits and ta-daaa~~~ Our after dinner dessert is ready! Now chilling in the fridge for us to eat later on! 😋😋 After putting them in a box, looks like a snowglobe to me! Actually its a great gift to make for your friends too!

I tried 2 ways of baking the sponge and as it is too light, the rack on top of paper works better for me! And freshly baked sponge fingers is not so dry as compared to storebought and taste so much better! So here today, sharing my sponge fingers recipe along with my failed house and tree pics! 🙊

I would prefer using chocolate callets as the hershey chips cant really set well. It is more like flowy chocolate filling when u bite it! Tastewise, it is good cos I am using the sea salt chips! So tasty with the bits of sea salt sprinkle on top of the tarts! 

I lightly assemble the choux on my 6” tart, filled with the chocolate filling. Carefully adding some toothpicks for those choux above to secure them! Wearing a santa hat for my tree! Ta-daaa~~ So cute!!!

Sea Salt Chocolate Filling

125ml Whipping cream

110g Hershey sea salt choc chip (works better with choc callet)

Sea salt for garnish

Choux recipe is here

Tart recipe is here

1) Put water in pot and put in steam rack. Saute mode Hi

2) Place pot with whipping cream on rack and wait for water to bring to boil

3) Add in chocolate chips, close lid and off power. Wait 3-5mins

4) Open and stir them well. Used as desired.

Creamcheese Ravioli

Had some leftover ribs and beef and decided to finish them for next day lunch. Thinking what carbs to go with it and decided to make some creamcheese ravioli! 

This is my first time making so the night before I was trying to decide what sauce, and what filling should I use. Finally decided on creamcheese filing and pair with the leftover stew!

 Had a short video of how easy it is too wrap n make them at home! 

I even did a quick tom yum soup for my portion!!  So spicy n tangy with the creamcheese!! 

A dear friend shared a baked version ravioli to me! So i wrapped some with prawns to have it like an appetizer!! So yummy!!

This recipe is so easy to work with! I think we can have fresh pasta as and when we want. With or without filling and it will be so fun for the kids to try making them in the own special shapes too! ❤️
