CHOCOLATE MOLTEN LAVA CAKE WITH KHIND AIR FRYER

 Yesterday afternoon I made a chocolate molten lava cake as the recipe called it.I bought a KHIND
brand air fryer and I looked up for recipes that can make cakes inside the air fryer and I managed
to find this recipe.I'm so happy that I found this recipe because it is very easy to make and the
cake turned up very nice although it is a little bit sweet to my taste bud,but that's ok.I ate a small
piece and the cake is shared among 5 people.The sugar will have to less a bit.

We ate the cake warm within 10 minutes out of the oven,but I add on the ice-cream to myself,so I

had a warm and cold feel.10 minutes is after satisfied snapping photos of the cake.

 

 The recipe called for 4 small ramekins,but I only had 2 medium size ramekins and so I have to use
another small bowl to finish up filling the batter.If you use 4 small ramekins,you can fit in all 4 into
the air fryer.I ended up baking twice.

INGREDIENTS;

3 1/2 tbsps self-raising flour

3 1/2 tbsps sugar

99.5g unsalted butter

99.5g dark cooking chocolate,chopped

METHOD;

1.  Grease 4 ramekins with butter and cocoa powder.Set aside.

2.  Melt dark chocolate in a double boiler and add in the butter to melt.Set aside.

3.  Whisk eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until it turned pale and frothy.

4.  Add in the melted dark chocolate mixture.Combined well.

5.  Sift in the flour and mix well together.

6.  Pour the batter into the ramekins about 3/4 full.

7.  Pre-heat the air fryer 190°C for 3 mins.After that bake the cake in the air fryer at 190°C
     for 6 mins till done.Serve the cake with whipping cream or ice-cream with
     some strawberries or blueberries as you like.

HERE'S THE ORIGINAL RECIPE;

3.5 tbsps self-raising flour

3.5 tbsps sugar

3.5 oz unsalted butter

3.5 oz dark chocolate(chopped)

2 eggs

GREASE 4 RAMEKINS WITH BUTTER AND COCOA POWDER.THE REST OF THE METHOD IS THE SAME.

SAMBAL IKAN BILIS

 

If one scoop is not enough,then 2 scoop or more.You gonna love it.

I cooked a mild ikan bilis sambal today as a side dish.This sambal is not too hot and spicy as I've taken out the chilly seeds.If you like hot spicy sambal,don't deseed.Sambal is a spicy chilly
sauce that can be found in Malaysia,Singapore and Indonesia.Other than that,I'm not sure where
else can be found.
When I think of sambal,my mind flash back to the school when my teacher ask us students to
cook sambal to make sambal sandwiches for a sport event..At that time,we didn't even get to eat
the sambal sandwiches.Lucky for me as I was not into spicy food that I didn't even drool about
it.The first time I cooked sambal was when I made Nasi lemak a few years back.

This time is Sambal Ikan Bilis or Sambal Anchovies.


My recipe is just roughly an estimation.I made according to my taste,but my hubby said it is nice.


INGREDIENTS;


1 Small bowl(3/4 cup) Ikan Bilis/Anchovies,Wash and Pat Dry

INGREDIENTS TO BE BLENDED;

5 Red Onions

4 Pips Garlics

12 Red Dry Chillies,deseed some seeds out if don't like spicy

1 Small Pc Belacan/Shrimp paste

About 8-10 Tbsps Of Water

FOR COOKING;

1 Tbp White Sugar

1 Tbsp Brown Sugar(Gula Melaka Replacement)

150 ML Water

About 40-50 G Assam Jawa/Tamarind

1 Big Onion,Slice Thinly

Cooking Oil

1.  Pour enough cooking oil into a saucepan or wok.When the oil is hot,deep-fry the anchovies until
     brown and crisp.Dish it up onto a plate and put aside for later use.Leave the oil for cooking the
     paste.

2.  In a blender,blend all the ingredients that need to be blended.

3.  In any bowl,add the water to the tamarind and squeeze the tamarind with your hands until you get
     tamarind or assam jawa juice.Strain through a sieve to get rid of the seed.

4.  Prepare a saucepan for cooking.

5.  Using the same anchovies oil,take some of the oil out to cook the spicy paste.When smoke comes
     out, put in the big onions and fry till fragrant.

6.  Add in the spicy paste.Add in the white and brown sugar or gula melaka if you using that.Stir and
     keep on stirring all the time.

7.  Lastly,add in the tamarind water,follow by the anchovies.Continue cooking until the sauce start to       thicken and oil has comes out.Off the fire and dish it out.

After kept in the fridge,the oil harden.All I have to do is before eat,leave it on the table and the oil will come back.

TOMATO KWAY TIAW

This is yet another version of dish with sweet tomato sauce.It is the same as the tomato noodles that
I had posted some time ago in my blog and a video to go with it. Check it up: here

It is a Sarawak street food.The rice noodles is fried with some light soya sauce and then the tomato
thick soup is then added to it.

Whenever we had late night supper at our  neighborhood stall,I like to call for tomato kueh tiaw.It is
one of my favourite dish When there are no kueh tiaw,then tomato noodles will be a replacement,.
Both have the same sauce.No doubt.I love eating this since I was a young girl.It can be found almost everywhere in Kuching.I never failed to eat this.I'm a tomato lover.

There are times I liked to make myself this special kind of dish at home.It is not hard to make afterall.
Take precautions not to over fried the rice noodles/kueh tiaw or else it will be sticky.

It is not only a supper meal,but meals for breakfast,lunch and dinner and all other occassions like parties.I used to cook for guests on my son's birthday.

Prepare in advance any kinds of ingredients you want to be added in the sauce.Most of the ingredients are usually chicken,prawns,fishcakes,fishballs,cuttlefish,char seow and green vegetables.
There are some people who like to add in sausages and artificial crabmeat,but it is not my
choice.Sometimes,I can just go simple like adding only chicken,prawns ,fishballs and some
green vegetables.Fresh tomatoes can also be included in to add more tomato flavour.

Char Seow is bbq meat.

I have also pre-mix the sauce in advance,but you can do it the alternate ways.Cook it all in a
saucepan.

RICE LOAF CAKE

 I found this from an old recipe book.The pages of my book are yellow and almost torn now.I've
 kept it for many years. I'm still able to see clearly the written recipe.The author is Betty Yew.

 I love her recipe.I've been following most of her recipes since I started out baking.Then one day,I stop looking at recipe books and turned to the internet for recipes and my poor books all sitting on
the shelf.A few days ago,I began browsing through all the books and so,this is the recipe that caught
my eyes and I decided to do it.It uses rice flour instead of any cakes flour.

 After baked and while the cake is still warm,we were so eager to eat.So eager to try.We ate half of the loaf in the night and half of the loaf in the morning.It tasted nice.

INGREDIENTS;

120g Butter

220g Castor Sugar

4 Eggs

225g Rice Flour,Sifted

Finely Grated Rind Of 1/2 Lemon(optional)

METHOD;

Preheat oven to 180°C.Lined a 1kg loaf tin with greasepaper/grease greaseproof paper.

Cream butter in a mixing bowl.Beat in sugar until light and fluffy.Add lemon rind and
mix well.

Separate eggs. Add yolks to butter mixture one at a time.

Beat egg white until fairly stiff but not dry.Take a spoonful of egg white and mix into butter mixture.
Stir in half the rice flour and add another spoonful of egg white.Add the rest of the rice flour and
the remaining egg white.

KUIH LAPIS 2

KUIH LAPIS-NEW RECIPE.MUCH BETTER CHOICE.A.K.A 9 LAYERS CAKE,BUT CAN BE MORE LAYERS.

 

 

 Today,I try making a newer version of Kuih Lapis and I must say this is the best choice from now onwards.The texture is very soft,moist,chewy,but not like you are eating rubber.Normally,I had the one that is made up of rice flour and tapioca flour only,but this one has got 3 flours added to it-
rice flour,plain flour and corn flour and thick coconut milk.The taste is simply delicious!It just
bring back memories of childhood years when my mama bought home some kuih muih/desserts
from the hawker stalls and we can only have no more than 2 pieces.But soon I found the recipe
from a magazine and had make this local dessert for years.Only today that I decided to add in some corn flour after hearing my sister said her daughter in law uses corn flour,but was not so successful because it turned out hard than expected.Then,I go on to try with her recipe and surprise that I made
it successfully.The only thing that I'm not happy about is the colour.They are too light,but it's just because I do not want to add in too much colouring,hence the colours look like it's fading.

 And so,here is the recipe:

INGREDIENTS;

1 Cup Rice Flour

1/2 Cup Plain Four

1/2 Cup Corn Flour

1 Cup Thick Coconut Milk

3 Cups Water

3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar

1/8 Tsp Salt

Colouring Of Your Choice

METHOD;

1.  In a saucepan,add sugar and water and bring to a boil until the sugar is dissolved.

2.  In another big bowl,add in all the rest of the ingredients,and lastly the sugar syrup.

3.  Divide the mixture into 3.Add in red colouring to one mixture,green coouring to another
     mixture and leave the other mixture plain.Red,green and white.

4.  Prepare the  steamer for steaming.Steam layers by layers with alternate colours.Each layer
     steam for about 5 minutes.When all the layers are finished,steam for 20 mins more,then turn off
     fire and let cool a bit in the steamer before taking out to completely cool.Cut out shapes.
     Enjoy!

NOTE; Please don't mind about the colours.The kuih is nice,make to perfection.In case you think you like to eat the one that is made up of only rice flour and tapioca flour,please do try out my other recipe from:Here
