Dairy-free & Egg-free Chocolate Cake

Guys,

I have to share this. Why? Because I think this recipe is super easy and even a dummy baker like me can have it right. I get the recipe from Milk Allergy Mom website and co-incidentally I don't have egg and milk to make cake on that day. So, here we go. A very delicious chocolate cake by me. 

Heat oven to 350F

Grease pan(s) with an allergy safe food if you are making this for someone with food allergies. We have luck with most Pam sprays and or dairy-free margarine also works.  

1.5 c flour
1 c sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder / Chocolate powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup oil
1 c cold water

Combine ingredients by hand or with a mixer. Pour batter into greased pan or muffin cups. 

Bake in oven until done, when cake springs back to the touch or a toothpick comes out clean. Time varies on the pan you use, 15 to 30 minutes possibly.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hello everyone,

I'm experimenting new Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe today from Epicurious. My housemate suggested to sell our cookies for International Deaf Week in Limkokwing University on September, so we try out this recipe as if it suitable with our international students taste bud. So, here is the recipe.

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (16 ounces)

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment or wax paper.

Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.

Beat together butter and sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Lightly beat 1 egg with a fork in a small bowl and add 1 3/4 tablespoons of it plus 2 remaining whole eggs to butter mixture, beating with mixer until creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low and mix in flour mixture until just blended, then stir in chips.

Scoop 1 teaspoon batter for each cookie, arranging mounds 2 inches apart, on 2 baking sheets. Flatten mounds into 1.5-inch rounds using moistened palm of your hand. Form remaining cookies on additional sheets of parchment.

Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool and continue making cookies in same manner using cooled baking sheets.

My Easy Clear Chicken Soup Recipe

Recently I am more conscious about having a healthier meal especially for my dinner time. I don't know why. Perhaps it is just a feeling that I want to eat something with clean taste but yet still delicious. 

Last night, I made this Clear Chicken Soup and enjoy it with my homemade Black Sesame Noodle. I'm not going to share the noodle recipe in this posting. But lets start with the Clear Chicken Soup recipe first okay.

Below is the recipe, I do appreciate if you could FOLLOW me on below channels to know more about what I cook daily:

My Triangular Scone with Pumpkin Seed for Teatime.

Hello everyone,

It has been awhile since the last time I post a recipe here. I cooked daily and snapped most of the food photos, but never happen to write any entries due to my high level of business. So, lets start with this one, the SCONE. This is my first try to make scone and I love the texture and the taste. Since, I made this based on what I have in my kitchen, you will find this scone come with pumpkin seed instead of raisin. So, it taste a bit nutty and milky.

1 large egg
1 cup of milk
3/4 cup of butter
5 tspn of baking powder
2 1/2 cup of floor
1 tsp of salt

1. Preheat your oven at 190C 
2. In a big bowl, combine the butter, sugar, baking powder, salt and flour
3. On separate bowl, combine the egg and milk. Then, pour it into the big bowl little by little until its slightly moist. 
4. I add 200g of pumpkin seed to the dough and mix it well. 
5. Sprinkle some flour on your kneading surface and then knead your dough nicely. It should be not sticky to your hand.
6. Get a rolling pin, then roll the dough for about 1/2 inch thick. 
7. Get a scone cutter, cut the dough and place in on your baking tray.
8. Bake it in oven for 10 to 15 minutes until its slightly brown. 

I don't have scone cutter at home, so I made this one in triangular shape. It is all about flexibility. This scone is very nice to enjoy it while it still warm. It should be very smooth when you bite it. I love to enjoy it with strawberry jam and compliment it with a good quality of highland tea (Yes... I am overly expressing my feeling here). 

My Simply Taiwanese Style Spicy Deep Fried Chicken

Maybe you guys are familiar with brands like Amle Ayam Gunting, Uncle Bob or Shihlin Taiwan Snack. This kind spicy deep fried chicken is one of their hot selling item. A serving of this may cost you MYR7 a serving outside and today I saved MYR7 when making 2 serving of this at home.

1. Prepare your egg mixture with pinch of salt, black pepper and 1 tbsp of paprika powder. You can add more paprika powder if you want it more spicy.
2. Then marited the chicken in the egg mixture for at least an hour. Good to have it overnight by keeping it in the fridge.
3. After the chicken marinated, you need to coat it with flour, then coat dip it into the egg mixture again and finally, re-coat it with the flour and remove the excess. Repeat this process for another chicken too.
4. Heat your deep fryer and then add the oil. 
5. Next, you may deep fry the chicken with medium heat fire. If you deep fry the chicken with high heat, There is a high possibility your chicken will get burn outside and under-cooked inside.
6. I can say the chicken will be cooked in about 15 minutes for both side. 
7. When the chicken is ready, you can sprinkle it with paprika powder. You can sprinkle more if you like it very spicy. 
8. This is really easy and tasty snack food, or perhaps can be a nice main dishes too. Lets have a good try at home okay. 

Anyway, for more updates or sharing, please add my Facebook Fanpage at https://www.facebook.com/mealsonthehill for more weekly recipe. I also do have my lifestyle blog www.microscopasia.com for you to browse about South East Asia travelling too. 

My 2 in 1: Spicy White Radish & Carrot Meal and Easy Chicken Soup

Well, I'm created this recipe because I have a lot of white radish at home and I need to finish it before it ruined. So, I create this 2 in 1 recipe which is a Spicy White Radish & Carrot meal and Easy Chicken Soup. 

1 large white radish, julienne
1 large carrot, julienne
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp chili flakes
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp vegetable oil
4 cups of water
Salt & Pepper for taste
A handful of chopped Chinese celery

1. Heat your cooking pan, and add the oil.
2. Then saute the garlic, for few sec.
3. Add the carrot, and the white radish. Mix it well.
4. You may add some water if its too dry.
5. Then add the chili flakes. You can reduce it if you don't want it too spicy.
6. Next, add 4 cups of water and let the white radish and carrot cook.
7. Add salt and pepper and taste it. Then turn off the fire.
8. Since we only need the white radish and carrot for this meal, use a colander to pour the soup into a soup pot. 
9. Now u can roughly mix the white radish and carrot in the colander with the chopped Chinese celery and serve it. 

As for the chicken soup, we will use the remain soup. Add 200g of chicken cube into the cooking pot and boil until the chicken cook.  You can add more water, salt, pepper and fish sauce if the taste is a bit bland. 

When everything is ready, serve the chicken soup into your soup bowl. As for me, I prefer to shred my chicken into the soup and sprinkle some fresh Chinese celery into the soup. 

With this idea, you can simple get 2 meal at once. 

My Dr. Ben Kim's Healthy Kimchi Recipe

Of the countless varieties of kim chi that are made in Korea, by far the most common and celebrated version is made with Napa cabbage.

Kim chi that's made with cabbage is loaded with indole-3-carbinol (I3C), a compound that is well recognized as a powerful cancer-fighting compound. Numerous studies indicate that I3C can offer protection against many different types of cancer and may even stop the growth of existing tumors.

You could hop on over to a local Korean market to buy a bottle of kim chi, but it may not be as healthy as you'd like, since most commercially prepared varieties are made with white sugar and shrimp.

1. To make healthy kim chi that still has lots of flavor and health-promoting compounds, start with a whole head of fresh Napa cabbage.
2. Separate the leaves and chop them up into bite-size pieces. These shreds of cabbage will shrink about 25% during processing, so no need to make them too small. And no need to clean them yet, as we'll be giving them a good rinse in a bit.
3. Measure out a quarter cup of sea salt and add it to a small bowl of warm water. Give it a gentle stir until the salt is dissolved.
4. Now add the salt water to the cabbage and give the cabbage a light toss to distribute the salt water.
5. Now a bit of waiting time. The salted cabbage needs to sit at room temperature for about four hours. The salt will help draw moisture out of the cabbage, and will also act as a natural preservative.

Black Sesame Cookies with Peanut Butter Filling

http://mealsonthehill.blogspot.com/2015/05/black-sesame-powder-cookies.html

Healthy Korean Pickled Radish Recipe

Ingredients:

1 white radish (sometimes called daikon or Chinese white radish)
1 cup water
1/8 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon turmeric
Sea salt

Directions:

1. Start by peeling your radish, cutting in half lengthwise, then chopping into 1/2 cm half-moon slices. Put radish slices into a large bowl, sprinkle one flat tablespoon of sea salt over the radish slices, give them a gentle toss to distribute the salt, and let sit for about 20 minutes or until the radish slices soften to a point where you are able to gently fold a slice without breaking it.

Here's a look at a peeled and an unpeeled radish. We didn't have our best peeler available on this particular day, so we had a bit of a hack job on our hands.

2. Once your radish slices are bendable, don't be shy in using your hands to squeeze off the liquid that has come out of the radish and transferring your slices to a glass bottle - this is the bottle that you'll be allowing your radish to ferment in for a couple of days before eating, so be sure that it's clean and that you have a lid for it.

3. To make your turmeric brine, bring one cup of water to a boil, then add your vinegar, turmeric, and one flat teaspoon of sea salt. Reduce heat and stir gently for a minute to evenly distribute everything. Then take your pot off the heat and add one tablespoon of honey or any other sweetener on hand. Be careful not to burn yourself and give your brine a taste test; you can add a little more salt or sweetener to suit your tastes.

We use brown rice vinegar, but any vinegar will do.

4. Cover the radish slices with your turmeric brine. You want to do this while your brine is still relatively hot, as this improves the final crunch factor of your radish slices. If you wait until your brine has cooled down to add it to your radish, you'll end up with relatively soft radish with little crunch.

Allow things to sit, uncovered, until your brine cools down to room temperature, then cover and allow the bottle sit out at room temperature for two days.

After two days of fermenting, your radish slices are ready to eat. Store leftovers in the refrigerator and take out small portions as needed. While refrigerated, pickled radish slices are fine to keep around for at least a couple of months.

My Dummy Version of Red Bean Flower Bun

I get inspired by below recipe to make this Red Bean Flower Bun. But since I don't have bread flour and fresh milk at home, I use my regular whole wheat bread recipe for this batch. Its a bit hard but still nice for me. But for next time, I will use the below shared recipe by Sugar & Everything Nice. 

143g fresh milk (I used HL low-fat fresh milk)
35g egg (about 1/2 an egg)
25g caster sugar
1/4 tsp salt
250g bread flour
4g instant yeast
38g butter (unsalted)

For the Filing: 

1. Place milk, egg, followed by caster sugar, salt, bread flour and yeast into a large mixing bowl. Using a dough hook knead the mixture for about 12 to 15 minutes on number 2 of your KA. If the dough is still moist, sprinkle with a little bit more bread flour. The dough should be kneaded until it forms a ball and is no longer sticking to the side of the mixing bowl.
2. Lightly oil a separate bowl. Remove dough from the mixing bowl and place in th oiled dough. Coat the dough with the oil and then cover the bowl with cling wrap. Let proof for 60 mins.
3. Remove dough and punch out the gas.
4. Divide dough into 60g pieces and shape into balls. Let the doughs rest and relax for 20 mins. (this ‘relaxing’ time is needed so that the dough will be easier to roll out and shaped). Lightly cover with cling wrap.
5. On a lightly floured surface, flatten one dough into a round disk. Place 35g of red bean paste (rolled into a ball) in the middle of the disk and wrap the filing with the dough. Pinch the joints to ensure that each dough ball is sealed completed.
6. Again, flatten the ball down using a rolling pin. Using a very sharp knife, make deep cuts all the way down around the dough. This will give the bread the flower shape.
7. Brush the top of the bread with a little egg wash and then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in a pre-heated oven of 190C for about 18 - 25 minutes.
