Baked Salmon Veggie Cups


Seen a similar recipe using carrots and sweet potato as the base. Filling was just an egg per piece. Decided to improvise a bit as making it into a meal for my family.
Adding salmon and beaten egg with cheddar slices as the filling with the base using zucchini and carrots. ❤️


Baked some brussel sprouts and cherry tomatoes on vines. Squashing each baked tomatoes on the sourdough and it taste so good! Love it! 


This is how it looks cut halfways. The salmon is still juicy and goes very well with the whole baked cups. Filled with omega, protein and healthy fats, using only pink salt n black pepper for seasonings, I would say its a very healthy meal for all!


Baked Salmon Veggie Cups
2 Eggs
100g Pizza cheese
1 Carrot, cut into strips
1 Zucchini, cut into strips
1Tbsp flour
1Tbsp garlic powder
Pinch of salt n black pepper

Filling: Salmon slices (optional)
4 Eggs, beaten
Cheddar slices

1) Mix everything up except for the filling portion
2) Put spoonful into cupcake tray and press it down like small cups and bake for 15mins x 180deg
3) Remove baked cups from oven and press with spoon to shape it more
4) Put 1 slice of salmon in each cup and pour beaten eggs to fill up
5) Top with cheddar slices and bake 10mins x 180deg

Zi Char Theme (Thermomix)

 


Have some requesting for zichar fare using thermomix to cook. Putting together a request for Cereal Prawns, my to-order Sweet sour chicken & Stirfry Mixed Veg. Lets have a good lunch for today after live ❤️ If you keen to watch the live, click here😉


First up, the Cereal Prawns. Personally, i feel the prawns is nicely cooked by thermomix. Not undercook or overcook and so sweer and crunchy. The cereal, I feel not crispy enough. And I think I will attempt again with toasting the cereal with the curry leaves with a pinch of salt. And then cooking the prawns with butter and mix the 2 together. I think it can help with the crispiness of the cereal and enhance the fragrance of it more. The buttery prawns will allow the cereal to nicely coat it with a buttery cereal taste. 🤤🤤 Drooling and I so gonna try it. If you try it before me, do let me knw what you think. ❤️


My all time favourite and my eldest favourite too! As expected, she says to me, I love the vegetables today mummy. Of cos I knw right, already mentioned on live she gonna enjoy it especially with the gravy over rice. 


Our family’s favourite is sweet sour chicken or pork. Today I used chicken cos I forgot to thaw my pork 😅😅 therefore the choice for chicken as it defrost way faster. And why I buy thermomix cos I dont like the greasy kitchen after cooking and of cos no deep-frying cos of the oily aftermath. I ‘fried’ them in my Ninjafoodi, a good pairing with my thermomix. Nicely browned and crisp and goes so well with the gravy. 

Everyone had a great lunch today, Thanks to the special request of zichar style cooking! Feel free to throw in more requests and thanks for always accompanying me on live!

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! 😂😂 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! 👏🏻 Promfret is nicely grilled as usual! Rubbing with some tumeric and salt is already so flavourful. 😋😋


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)

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! 👏🏻


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 😉


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 😅


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

Belacan Grilled Fish Steak

 

Love anything belacan, especially seafood and fish! Somehow it always compliment the freshness of the seafood/fish used. Adding some lime or lemon juice will elevate the flavours too!! 


Did a simple grill over pandan leaves (cos I dun have banana leaves), it does leave a mild pandan fragrance to the end product. Its easy and great on days when you jus crave for homecooked and yet only eating 1 portion. ❤️ Yums!

2 Pandan leaves, cut into 3s and washed

2) Cut some pandan leaves and lay over airfryer basket and place fish on top. 
3) Grill fish x10mins and flip over. Spread 1tsp belacan on each fish and grill another 5mins
4) Serve with lime on the side, squeeze before enjoying 😋

Crispy Baked Shrimps


I seen this popiah wrappers prawn somewhere but cant remember from where. Been in my to-try list for the longest! And since I have popiah skin at home, I tot good to try and have it as our sides for tonite’s dinner ❤️


I am aircrisping them in my Ninjafoodi and love that it is really super grease-free! But I did a wrong move, I should have layer a few more layers. My wrapping was too thin and thus cant crsip up nicely for the whole shrimp. Only certain parts are crispy, especially at the overlapping part. 


This is how I wrap the shrimps. I suggest dun cut the strips shorter like me. Probably jus strips it at the original length and go a few more rounds. (I am using the big squares, cut into 4 quarters then I cut into strips) Remember to go a few layers and brush oil! Try it and tell me if it’s better cos I am gonna try it out myself too! 




Crispy Baked Shrimps
Approx 15 shrimps 
Popiah skin, cut into strips (approx 10 big sheets)

1) Wash and pat dry shrimps
2) Take popiah skin strips and roll them around shrimps til the tail
3) Brush with oil and Aircrisp 180deg x 10mins
