Organic Red Rice Fried Rice (Gluten Free & Vegetarian)

Pouched Fried Rice, Organic Red Rice Fried Rice

I guess everyone love fried rice. I can eat Fried Rice everyday for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even supper. It is simply delicious! The first time I attempted to Fried Rice my own was 18 and my parents went to Bukit Mertajam (大山脚), and I cooked for my three brothers. Brief introduction, Bukit Mertajam is a small town located in Butterworth, mainland, Penang. 

To get a prefect Fried Rice, remember always use chilled left-over rice. Cook the rice one day before. Keep the rice in the refrigerator to dry out a bit. To much moisture in the rice will make it heavy mess in the pan. Do not constantly poking at the rice, the grains will break and release too much starch and turn the entire thing gooey. The best thing is to spread the rice evenly in the pan, let it heat up for a few second, 1 2 3 4 5...flip, toss and redistribute the rice, again spreading it out and leaving it alone to cook for another side. 

Anson's Preserved Turnips Chee Cheong Fun

Anson's Preserved Turnips Chee Cheong Fun

We found Anson's Chee Cheong Fun in Nang King Kopitiam at Taipan, USJ. This typical Anson's CCF is eaten with pickled green chillies. There is no sauce for this Anson's CCF. They do provide sweet sauce and chilli sauce if you request. It is only  MYR3.40/USD1.00 for a packet, two pieces CCF and some pickled green chillies. I do not have the photo of this stall but you can find them in Nang King Kopitiam. (Opposite Pappa Rich Kopitiam)

Teluk Intan is a small town in Perak, formerly known as Teluk Anson "Anson".  My husband and I went there while travelling north during Chinese New Year two years ago.  My aunt is staying in Ipoh and she told me there is a famous CCF factory in Anson and just a five minutes drive from the famous Anson's Leaning Clock Tower. 

Anticancer Fruit & Vegetable Juice

Oh my!...So nice to drink a glass of chilled fruit and vegetable juice every morning. This is Anticancer Fruit and Vegetable Juice. I got this recipe from Dr. Tom Wu's books. There are so many recipes in his books but this is an easy one with just three main key ingredients, beet, carrot and tomato. Makes 500cc juice each time, drink at least twice a day, morning before breakfast and evening before dinner. Peel unless they are organic.

Moon Cake - Traditional Chinese Delicacy

Moon Cake (Yue Ping,月饼) is a Chinese pastries traditional eaten during Mid-Autumn Festival.  The skin is thin and sweet and prepared in the shape of the moon and filled with sesame seed paste, lotus seed paste, red bean paste, five kernel and may contain one or more whole salted egg yolks in the cake center to symbolize the full moon.

Mid-Autumn Festival (Zhong Qiu Jie,中秋节) or more commonly named in Malaysia as Moon Cake Festival and is celebrated on the 15th day of the eight lunar month. Usually, around mid or late September. In recent years, the Mid-Autumn Festival has benefited from a popularity boost. It is now the second most celebrated Chinese Festival in Malaysia, that is, if you measure it by the amount of advertising and promotions dedicated to it. 

Roti Jala and Sardine Curry # 2 (Lacy Coconut Pancake)

Makes 20 pieces Roti Jala

This time I cooked sardine curry and Roti Jala, Lacy Coconut Pancake. I have got a packet of fresh vegetarian curry powder from Malyn yesterday. She is the sister of my sister in-law Shaliin. The curry powder is blended with dried curry leafs and dried asam fruit. Asam fruit is also call Asam Gelugor, the sour fruit. It gives acids-citric flavour to Nyonya fish curry and Malay curries.

Sugar Free Fruit Cake

Serves 8

I have baked this Sugar Free Fruit Cake loaf that is moist and fruity but much lighter than a traditional Fruit Cake. It is sugar free and butter free Fruit Cake. My father has diabetes but can still indulge his sweet tooth, as the cake has no added sugar. It is healthy, delicious, moist and fruity cake - smell so great and can be eaten as a cake or as a tea bread with warm butter and a cup of hot cappuccino.

Fruits Custard Cream Puff Pastry

Makes 10 pieces

Puff pastry, called that because of its puffed-up appearance when baked is made from layers of rolled-out dough topped with butter then stacked together. The fat between the layers steams as it is baked and creates light, flaky layers. Puff pastry has countless uses including Croissants, Napoleons, and even savory pastry sticks.
