2 eggs
2 rashers of bacon - change to Salmon *slightly pan fry
1 muffin, halved - I used bagel bread

FOR THE HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
2 egg yolks
2 tbsp white wine vinegar - I use apple vinegar
5-6 black peppercorns
125g clarified butter
lemon juice, to taste
salt and ground black pepper

Method
SERVES 2

1. To make the hollandaise sauce, place the 2 tbsp of white wine vinegar, along with the black peppercorns, into a small saucepan and reduce the vinegar by half and then strain. Heat the clarified butter in a saucepan. Put the egg yolks into a bowl suspended over a saucepan of simmering water and add the reduced vinegar. Whisk vigorously until the mixture forms a light, airy foam. Gradually add the clarified butter a little at a time to the egg mixture, whisking all the time to form an emulsion. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Keep warm.
2. Poach the eggs for 2-3 minutes. Grill the bacon rashers * pan fry salmon * and toast the muffin halves.
3. To serve, place the bacon on top of the muffin halves, followed by the poached egg. Season with salt and pepper and then pour over the sauce.

Churros are often referred to as Spanish doughnuts.

Vegetable oil, for frying
Confectioners’ or superfine sugar, for dusting

-Heat the water, butter, brown sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until the butter has melted.
-Add the flour all at once, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Remove the pan from the heat and beat rapidly until the mixture pulls away from the side of the pan.
-Let cool slightly, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, until the mixture is thick and smooth. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a wide star tip.
-Heat the oil in a deep frying pan. Pipe 5″ lengths of the dough into the oil. Deep fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Dorayaki

Dorayaki

visit this blog and u will be amaze on how good her's dorayaki and the blog has all japanese cuisine you can imagine , she took great photo and great recipe
:) click here!

DORAYAKI/ JAPANESE RED BEAN PANCAKE

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 140g (2/3 cup) sugar
• 2 Tbsp. honey
• 160g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1-2 Tbsp. water
• 1 can Ogura-An (sweetened red bean paste)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, and honey and whisk well until the mixture gets fluffy.
2. Sift flour and baking powder into the bowl and mix. Keep in the fridge to rest for 15 minutes.
3. Stir in ½ Tbsp of water at a time to get the right consistency. It should be a little bit thicker than pancake batter. If the batter is too thin, Dorayaki buns will be too flat and not fluffy.
4. Heat a large non-stick frying pan on medium-low to medium heat. Dip the paper towel in oil and coat the bottom of the pan with the oil. The pan should be slightly oiled but shouldn’t be visible. That’s the secret to get nice texture on the surface of Dorayaki. With a ladle, drop the batter from 1 foot above the pan to create 3 inch diameter “pancake”. When you see the surface of batter starts to bubble, flip over and cook the other side. Transfer to a plate and cover up with damp towel to prevent from drying. Continue making pancakes.
5. Make sandwich with red bean paste. Put more red bean paste in the center so the shape of Dorayaki will be curved (middle part should be higher). Quickly wrap them with saran wrap until you ready to serve.

sound easy right !!

till then have a great weekend

Perkedel / Potato Patties

Perkedel is an Indonesian potato patties.The word perkedel was from Dutch "frikadel"  it made from potato mash with corn beef, sweet corn and spring onion...everyone will do differently but those ingredient was how my mum always made, and I lovee it so much...despite the time consuming on making it...
it took you 2 sec to love the 1st bite and 2 hours to made them haha..eniwey
in Indonesia , perkedel will be a great companion to Yellow rice / Nasi Kuning. we ate them with other dish too..or even as a snack on its own ...

My Mum always made this in medium size...but I love to make the mini version

Aren't they calling u...to take a bite..

Perkedel Kentang

Ingredient

Potato - chop into small pieces
corned beef
sweet corn
spring onion
salt/pepper/sugar
eggs
oil to fry

The most important trick to make these perkedel is to fry your potato 1st...use small heat to avoid burn the potato. this need patient :D then mash your fried potato then mix with everything else (corned beef, spring onion & corn). I usually will let the potato cool down for 1 hour or so , add egg once your mixture cool down

Shape your mixture into round or oval shape ..coat them with egg white then deep fry in hot oil until golden brown each side

let it cool before served :)

take a lot of time but worth to try

 

till then have a great Monday :)
