Roti John Serunding Cheese

Do I look like I'm that creative? No. I got this idea from my mom and my mom got this idea from her besan.  Interesting and hilarious.  It just tickled me as the main ingredient is serunding. This is when you are lazy to prepare the meat lah kan.

And surprisingly the mister oso like it.  I tweak abit the recipe cos my mom did not put mayo in hers.  I put cos I want the serunding to stick on the bread.  Sooo clever alahai... 

Roti John Serunding Cheese ala Mystyle

Ingredients:

Bread (can be any bread, square, loaf, bun)

Mayo (optional)

Eggs

Cheese (I used mozzarella)

Serunding (meat, chicken, fish, plain)

Methods:

I used hotdog bun.  I cut it on the side not all the way thru.  

Spread mayo thinly and sprinkle generous amount of serunding on it.

Heat a non-stick pan.  whisked egg and pour it in the pan not too much enuf to cover 2 buns.

Put the bun on the egg with the serunding facing down.

Once the egg is cook flip it.

Add mozzarella cheese onto it and fold the bun into half.

Let it be in the pan for a while just for the mozzarella cheese to melt.

Can serve it just like that or cut into half.

I brought this stack of Roti John Serunding Cheese to my BIL's place across the road.  It was a hit with the kids. A nice and simple dish to prepare.

Sabsuka

Sunday is visit your mom's day.  And I did not come empty-handed.  I volunteered to cook for the family.   My brothers will be home.  So I hope to finish cooking early and head to ibu's house.  

Off all the 4 days of fasting, I think sunday I ate the most.  Apart from the sabsuka, there's sardine puff from Shakilah's family, ibu fried some chicken drumlets and chicken seaweed.  There's kuihs and I manage to make cincau drink.  So rajin right.  Not all the time hor.

Anyway sabsuka is a repeated recipe.  I have cooked this so many time and each time I will improvise according to my guest.

Bistik Daging

Cooking we must ~Yoda

It's the first weekend of the fasting month. And MIL was at home so we break fast at home lah. Since the other days we broke fast at the mosque nearby.  

Ask the Mister what he wants to eat and he said anything to eat with bread.  How simple! Woke up early to prep and started cooking after asar.  The taste was quite mile no kick.  Maklumlah puasa tak boleh rasa =p.

But can better if can taste while cooking I would have alter the flavour lah.  I did some Google-ing and I like Tiffinbiru's recipes. Easy and hassle free though I made some changes to the recipe to suit may laziness hahaha.

Ingredients:

500g minced meat or sliced meat
5 potatoes
Black pepper
1 cinnamon stick
Blended dry chilli
Salt and sugar to taste
Peas
Water
Tomato sauce
Tomato paste
Beef stock

Blended ingredients:
                                  1 onion
                                  6 red onions
                                  3 cloves garlic
Oil for frying

Method:

Season the meat with black pepper and salt and put aside.
Heat oil. Throw in the cinnamon stick and the blended ingredients.
Add the potatoes and mix well.  Add water cook the potatoes till half cook.
Add in the meat and tomato sauce, blended chilli, tomato paste, and beef stock.
Mix well and cover the pot with low heat till the meat and potatoes are cook.
Season with salt and sugar cook till gravy thickens.
Garnish it with peas, fried shallots and chopped coriander leaves with sliced French loaf.

Bread & Butter Pudding with L.O.V.E

New year's resolution to update blog promptly.  Oklah slightly late... hee hee ... I made this last saturday.
I will try to update one a week lah eh if I'm free. Umi ask for bread & butter pudding a few weeks back so I gave her.  I realised that I've not been baking for a super long time.

Since she (my cousin and my niece) visited ibu last sat I decided to surprise her. I took the recipe from Livin' In The Kitchen. The recipes here are all mouth watering ... my gawd!!! I wish I can try everything in there ... but .... I have to be focus ... one at a time.

So here we go Bread & Butter Pudding with Vanilla Sauce. I did the Vanilla Sauce first cos I chill it before serving.

Bread and Butter Pudding with Vanilla Sauce

Recipe from “Lenôtre’s Desserts and Pastries”
7 ounces fresh sandwich bread, uncut
Butter for bread
2 cups, (generous, 1/2 1) milk
1 vanilla bean (I used vanilla bean paste)
3 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup, generous (125 grams) granulated sugar

Optional

1 cup of sliced almond

1 cup of chocolate chips

Remove the crust from bread and slice very thin (set crust aside)
Lightly butter the slices, cut them in half, corner-to-corner so that they are now 2 triangles.
Brown the buttered side of the bread under the broiler for 3 minutes, cover oval baking pan with bread, toasted side up in overlapping pieces.

Sprinkle sliced almonds and chocolate chip.
Preheat the oven to 425F.
Boil milk with vanilla bean. Beat the eggs and the egg yolks with the sugar for a few minutes, until mix whitens. Slowly pour hot milk (not boiling) into egg mix while stirring.

Pour the combined mixtures over the bread while pressing down bread that floats with a spoon.
Place the Bread Pudding into a larger dish. Pour boiling water in the larger dish until it reaches half way up the sides of the smaller dish.
Bake 30 minutes, continue to press down bread when it rises to the surface in oven. When baked, allow to cool then place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Make Vanilla Sauce (can be served without).

Vanilla Sauce
1 cup (1/4 1) milk
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
3 egg yolks
1/3 cup granulated sugar

Place milk and vanilla bean in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover the pot and let the vanilla bean infuse for 10 minutes.
Beat egg yolks and sugar on medium speed until the mixture whitens. While beating, add milk to yolks. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Heat slowly, stirring constantly. When liquid coats spatula, remove the saucepan immediately and place in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking. Remove the vanilla bean.
Cool mixture in bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. Whip sauce occasionally while cooling.
Once cooled, pour over your Bread and Butter Pudding and return to the refrigerator,
Wa-La!
