Creamy Macaroni (Pressure cook)


My secondborn loves mac and cheese but i feel that mac and cheese is always nicer when eating straight out of the oven after baking, therefore decided to use campbell soup and make a creamy macaroni for recess. Added in some greens and proteins! 


Use simple ingredients that I have at home. Easy peasy prepare them the night before and only need to throw them in the pot. All it takes is 10mins and you get a pot of creamy macaroni ready for school! πŸ₯·


Ready for school ❤️


This is how easy it is! Jus throw, close and stir! 😍

Creamy Macaroni (Pressure cook)
1cup macaroni
1can Campbell Soup (I use cream of chicken)
1.5can Milk (using the can for the soup)
100g beef shabu, cut smaller
Brocolli
Carrot
Frozen corn kernels

1) Put ingredients into pot and spread them out. Then pour in milk and canned soup. Stir them up and break up the beef slices too. 
2) Pressure cook on Hi x 2mins and natural release 5mins. After that quick release if there is still pressure
(Macaroni suggested cooking time is 8-10, so I use 8mins/2 then minus 2)
3) Stir well to combine the macaroni. Ready to eat!

Easy Bread Pudding


Made easy bread pudding to use up the bread skin. After soaking in a milk bath overnight, the bread are soft and fluffy after baking! 😘 This is my first time trying bread pudding as well! 


I used chocolate chips and cinnamon instead of raisins as I dont like raisins. I love how the chocolate chips complement the cinnamon flavour! Only regrets is should have added more, and probably try dark chocolate chunks. And perhaps add in another 20-30ml of milk πŸ˜‰


Can you see how fluffy it is? And it is soaked up with the milk and egg mixture overnight 😍 Try it.

Cookie Base New York Cheesecake


Decided to bake a Cheesecake using cookie base for a change. Wondering if it will be nicer with that added crunch, and will the cookie actually still be crunchy as the base? πŸ€”


Since it’s hub birthday and he loves New York Cheesecake plus this cookie also his favourite so far, decided to have a go and try it out! Happy Birthday to the man of my life! Love you always and thank you for loving me so much ❤️


I used 8inch tin instead of 6inch thus the cake is lower but I love the proportion of the cheesecake and the cookie dough as its not overly cheesy. The cookie dough is very fragrant with the cinnamon flavour and surprisingly not overly sweet and goes so well with the creamcheese! Its not crunchy and its slightly soft with the cinnamon cookie taste. Hub loves it as compared to the usual digestive biscuits crumb base. Yay! 


A very easy and fast recipe to make and took me around 20mins to assemble everything up to baking the cake! Chill it overnight so remember to bake ahead ❤️

Cookie Base New York Cheesecake
Cookie base: recipe from here
125g Butter
125g Brown sugar (I used 100g)
178g Plain flour
10g Bread flour
1egg
1tsp vanilla extract
1tsp cinnamon powder
1tsp baking powder
1tsp bicarbonate of soda

Cheesecake: recipe from here
200g creamcheese
10g butter
10g sugar
15g milk
15g cornflour
1tsp vanilla extract
1tsp lemon juice
1yolk
1 white
30g sugar

1) Prepare cookie base by mixing everything together until it forms a dough. Chill.
2) Prepare cheesecake batter by mixing all ingredients together except egg whites & 30g sugar. Mix it til smooth and set aside
3) Using a mixer, beat egg whites and 30g sugar til it forms a shiny firm meringue.
4) Fold in meringue to creamcheese mixture in 2-3 additions. Do not overmix.
5) Prepare cake tin and press cookie dough onto base of tin. Try to spread it as even as possible.
6) Pour in cheesecake batter and knock a few time to even out the batter.
7) Pour water into base of pot. Put in steam rack and place cake tin on top. (I use foil to cover the base of cake tin in case of leakage or water seep in)
8) Bake 150deg x 20mins. Check after 15mins and lower temp to 120deg x 5mins (Ignore video as cake was set after 5mins)
9) Cool thoroughly before chilling it in fridge for 3-4hours or preferably overnight before serving ❤️

Foodi Hack: 2 Dish + 1 Rice


Been thinking how to better use the tingkat so that I can spend less time on preparing dinner this week as mummy got to supervise some light revision this week. 


Decided to steam yongtaufoo since I am going to the market and slotting the brocolli in between them so that I can take care of 2 dish in 1! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ So yums!! Brocolli still crunchy n not mushy, goes so well with the sauce. 


Another dish to try is the kids’ favourite Bulgogi beef. Today try steaming them and hopefully it will turn out well. With the usual marinade I used, steaming will have more sauce created and keeping fingers crossed it wont make the dish any less flavourful. 🀞🏻🀞🏻 Thankfully it is flavourful with more gravy for the rice! 😍 (Only setback, dun overfill too full to brim as top tt was ‘pressed’ by the tray on top was slightly uncooned. I steam it another 2mins)


And since grandma doesnt eat beef, I grill a promfret before doing my pressure cook so that time is not wasted and still minimal cleaning with just 1 pot! πŸ‘πŸ» Promfret is nicely grilled as usual! Rubbing with some tumeric and salt is already so flavourful. πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹


Simple video of the dishes before and after. Hope you enjoy my dinner tonite! 

Foodi Hack: 2 Dish + 1 Rice + Grill Fish 
300g Beef Shabu, cut into halves
1/2 onions, thin slices
2Tbsp Bulgogi sauce
1Tbsp mirin

Yong Tau Foo (I buy enuf for 3 pax)
Brocolli
2tsp dried black beans
1Tbsp Dark soy sauce
1Tbsp Oyster sauce
1Tbsp Sesame oil
Pepper
1/2cup water

1 Golden Promfret
1tsp tumeric powder
Pinch of salt

1) Wash and gut promfret. Pat dry and rub salt and tumeric over fish and set aside to marinate for at least 1 hour.
2) Marinate beef shabu with bulgogi sauce, mirin and set aside. Perferably for 1hour.
3) Wash and cut brocolli, rinse yongtaufoo and arrange on tray. Slot brocolli in between the yong tau foo. Prepare the sauce and drizzle evenly over the yong tau foo.
4) Grill Promfret x 10mins, flip and grill another 10mins. Remove and rinse pot. 
5) Put beef on bottom, followed by yong tau foo and rice on top. Add 3 cups of water, put tingkat in and Pressure cook Hi x 8mins and natural release 15mins. (I kept warm til its time for dinner, approx 25mins)

Priscilla’s Bolognese Beef Fusilli


Today we have ‘baked’ Priscilla’s Bolognese Beef Fusilli to school! Everything dump in a baking dish and let it bake! πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ Oh man, love this method and just need to think of ways how to use this around my daily meals 😍 Pasta is always a win-win with the big kids as the youngest still prefer Fried rice a lot. Or anything rice. πŸ˜… 

I call it Priscilla’s cos I added milk to the tomato pasta sauce as the kids dont like it too tangy and the milk will sweeten the sauce slightly. Stirring in a bit of parmesan at the ending will add some flavours to the pasta too! The beef bites will get the kids happy as they love beef! 


Easy fuss free method, only washing 1 dish after the cooking. Loving this! Gonna try more creation with this style of pasta cooking ❤️


Kids’ meal to school for today! Ease my work so much. 


Priscilla’s Bolognese Beef Fusilli
1/2cup fusilli
1/2cup pasta sauce
1mini beef patty, tear into pieces
milk, pour enough to submerge the fusilli
grated parmesan


1) Prepare baking dish and pour fusilli in it. (Dont overfill and yes I overfill slightly. Jus enough to fill the base of dish with minimim overlap)
2) Tear beef patty on fusilli. Pour in pasta sauce then follow by milk enough to cover the fusilli and give it a gentle stir to make sure all is covered in milk
3) Bake 180deg x 23mins (I extended another 8mins after the first 15mins as it is not fully cooked yet)
4) Give it a stir and top with more milk and add in grated parmesan cheese. Mix it well and add more milk if needed. Sprinkle some parmesan on top and bake another 5mins.
Serve warm and sprinkle some parsley flakes and chilli powder if you like ❤️

Foodi Hack: Chicken Rice + 2 dish


Thinking of making more us for my tingkat trays so instead of cooking chicken rice in the pot, I decided to make use of the tray so I can make more dishes out of it! 

Decided on making some assam stingray for myself and add on a longbean dish for everyone! ❤️ The recipes are all very simpl homecooked dishes and since only using ‘steaming with the pressurecook mode’ everything is simplified. 


First time trying vegetables dish on pressure cook mode. Thinking that longbeans need to be softer therefore first trial was to try adding it as 1 of the dish for the tingkat method! Surprisingly they are soft and crunchy inside!! Its cooked well! And managed to soaked in the sauce I put in earlier to steam it with! πŸ‘πŸ»


The stingray and shrimps is nicely steam and gravy compliment rice so well! Too bad I am on low/no carbs diet, I tried to control myself from having rice πŸ˜‰


The only flaw was the rice and chicken as the chicken leg covered the rice too much thus the rice wasnt cooked that well in the middle. Probably would be better if I had used boneless chicken leg. 2 would be nicely on top of the rice giving it enough place to steam and also cook the rice. I ended up steaming the chicken another 5 mins and then steaming the rice another 10mins. Phew πŸ˜…


The sauces to make are also simple and straightforward to enhance the flavours of the dishes. Do give it a try and let me
know. 


Chicken Rice + 2 Dish
3 Chicken legs
1 garlic
1 pc thick ginger
pandan leaves (i left out as i forget to buy)
1 Stingray, approx 200g
Some shrimps
1 tomato, thin wedges
Ginger slices
4Tbsp Assam sauce, Ikan brand
1pack longbeans
Shrimps

Sauce for chicken: 
1Tbsp sesame oil, 2Tbsp light soy sauce, 1Tbsp huatiao and pepper + 1/2 bowl hot water

Sauce for longbeans:
1Tbsp sesame oil, 1Tbsp oyster sauce, 1tsp light soy sauce and pepper + 1/2 bowl hot water

1) Wash and rinse chicken leg then rub salt for 30mins then rinse away and pat dry. Cut some slits on chicken so that it is easier to cook. 
2) Wash 2 cups of rice and put 1:1 ratio rice to water, place chicken leg, pandan leaves, garlic and ginger on top. (Use the deeper dish for this) 
3) Wash and cut stingray into smaller cubes and put it in the tray. Arrange shrimps, tomato and ginger then pour assam sauce over. 
4) Wash and prepare longbeans then place in last tray. Layer prawns neatly on top. Drizzle sauce over long beans.
5) Add 3 cups of water. Close all with the stingray at bottom, followed by chicken rice then longbeans on the top. Pressure cook on Hi x 8mins and let it natural release for 15mins. 
6) Meanwhile prepare sauces for chicken. Drizzle sauce over chicken before serving. Bon Apettit

Bacon Risotto (Pressure Cook)

All in total took me about 20minutes max from start to end. And kids get a flask of risotto for school. Shall see how it goes with my fussy gal at the end of school and update.
