"French Fries Cutter 薯条刀"

最近才学会原来波浪形的薯条是用这种刀切成的。一直以来,我以为只有机器才能切出波浪形的薯条,而waffle格子薯片,我还以为是经过加工的。

Recently only I learned that crinkle fries are produce from this type wave cutter. All the while I thought only can be produce from machine. Never explore never know! I was assuming waffle fries is produced by batter thru mould.

Actual fact is they are from fresh potatoes.


"Borner V- Power Vegetable Slicer 蔬菜刨 "

常常刨菜时割到手指,最后决定把心一横,痛痛一次买个好的蔬菜刨,至少没那么容易再割到手指,也能耐个五年十年,哈哈!我是这么想的。

买了这玩意儿后,其实我觉得很兴奋,一直在找机会试用它。

请在此参考我第一次用它来刨碎红萝卜。

I always cut my finger while slicing vegetable. Finally i decided to spend more money to get a more high tech slicer with higher safety feature. At least it can reduce my chance getting cut again and hopefully it can last for at least 5 or 10 years! Am I dreaming?

In fact I feel so excited after purchased this new toy...=)! I keep finding chances to utilize this new toy, yeah!

You may refer to my first trial to produce chopped carrot at here.

"Air Fried Meat Spring Roll气炸肉卷"

这是我的家传肉卷。年年农历新年大团圆时,这道菜肴百吃不厌,而且总是很所欢迎。我们是用肉碎、虾肉、蒜头及葱头加其他调味料做成。 还有我们的肉卷是有蒸过的。蒸过的肉卷,如用不完,还能冷冻,下次要吃时才解冻,炸过即可。来到北方后,发现他们的肉卷和我们做法不一样。北方的肉卷是用肉条而不是肉碎。

This is recipies is inherited from my grandmom.Each reunion lunch during lunar new year,we never miss this dish. It always got very hot demand. For this spring roll, we are using minced pork meat, minced shrimps,onion,shallot and others flavoring and spice to make it. Then it will steam first before we fried it.The remaining stream roll can be keep in freezer for next time consumption.That's why we normally make quite a huge batches each time.When I move to the northern region, I realized that their fried spring roll is using meat strip rather than minced meat.The method is diferrent.

碎肉                  -500g 
碎虾仁             -150g
红萝卜       -1条(小或中形随个人喜好)(切碎)
蒜头及红葱头 -个10粒 (切碎)
苏打饼               -5 片(压碎成粉状) 
五香粉       - 1汤匙半

蛋白                  -1 粒( 大粒的)
豆皮                  - 1-2 张
香蕉叶              - 足够放蒸盘就好
适量盐,味精调味


做法:
1。 将碎肉,碎虾仁 ,红萝卜碎,蒜头及红葱头碎, 搅拌均匀。
2。 放入蛋白,苏打饼碎搅拌均匀。
3。 接着才放入所有的调味粉搅拌均匀,备用。
4。 在一个大菜板(砧板)打开豆皮,将碎肉馅料用汤匙舀在豆皮上,排
        成长型,再卷起豆皮,只要一层豆皮包到馅料就可。然后,用小刀沿
        着肉卷边刮一下切破豆皮就可以了。
5。 下一步是把肉卷放在铺了香蕉叶的蒸盘上。记得豆皮切口要向下。
6。 重复相同步奏把所有馅料包好。
7。 排满肉卷的蒸盘可以先下锅蒸,大概蒸10分钟让肉卷熟即可。
8。 记得要待冷后才能拿来炸,炸至黄金色即可。
9。 如没炸完,可将蒸好的肉卷冷冻,下次在炸。

注:炸肉卷配Ayamas辣椒酱是最好吃的了。

"家常薄饼Homemade Popiah(Vegetable Spring Roll)"

这是我们家常吃的薄饼。我经常(一两个星期一次)会煮这道菜肴当晚餐。我曾经几次试过自己做薄饼皮,但是老公总是说我做的皮比较厚,我最后放弃再花时间尝试把皮做好,直接在巴刹买就算了。做薄饼皮的过程可不间单呢!费时又费力。回想小时候,我家每次都是自己做薄饼皮的,因为当时很难买到现成的。不过都每人投诉皮厚,大慨是没机会做比较吧!现在好命了,比较会选择,哈哈!至于小金杯,有时我会买现成的,有时就自己做。现成的其实不便宜,一个如没记错30仙。目前为止我还在寻找最满意的小金杯食谱!现实中,做小金杯的功夫也不输于薄饼皮,都是费时又费力!唯一不同的是小金杯耐收,只要收在密罐里就能耐整个月,下次还能吃。但是薄饼皮就不能。我没试过把薄饼皮冷冻,可能可以这样收藏,谁知呢?试过才知道。

This is the Popiah that we always have it at home. I will prepare this as our dinner once each weekly or bi-weekly. For popiah skin, I did try to make it few times but hubby complaint it is thicker than ready bought from wet market. I give up to continue trying it as the effort putting on this experiment not worth. As for the popiah cup, sometimes I will buy the ready make cup from wet market but it is very expensive. If not mistaken, it cost是 30 cents per cup. I still hunting for the best recipes for this popiah cup. Those in the picture still not my satified popiah cup. By the way, the effort to fry this cups are not less that the popish skin, that's the reason it is quite expensive. The only different is popish cup can keep in air-tight container for next round consumption but popiah skin can not. Never try to freeze the popiah skin, may be it worked, who know!!
