Cash Bakery

Its actually my little kitchen that I experience all kinds of recipe that I come across. Its also the place where I make favourite food for my loved ones.

Homemade Kueh Pie Tee

An excellent party food affair that involves hands on by your guests. They are thin and crispy pastry tart shell filled with a spicy, sweet mixture of thinly sliced vegetables and prawns.

Bamukuchen

Baumkuchen is a kind of layered cake. It is a traditional dessert in many countries throughout Europe and is also a popular snack and dessert in Japan. The characteristic rings that appear when sliced resemble tree rings, and give the cake its German name, Baumkuchen, which literally translates to "tree cake".

Bento (Lunch box) ~ Chicken Rice Bowl with Soft-Boiled Egg

Thought of doing something easy for take out dinner, then I come across this recipe on newspaper from NTUC and there I go.

Its pretty easy and minimal mess and of cos it provided enough nutrition for your loved ones. The taste is actually more towards Japanese flavor.

I have changed the vegetable from the original recipe as this is what I found in my fridge. Therefore you can actually use any vegetable as you like...

Ingredients

Marinade
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1 tbsp mirin
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp minced ginger (I used ginger powder for convenience)
1 tbsp sake

2 chicken thigh
asparagus/cauliflower
2 bowl of rice
2 eggs

Direction
1. Mix the marinate in a bow and add the chicken thigh. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 190 degree celcius. Place the chicken on a foil-lined baking tin and drizzle over any remaining marinade.
3. Bake in the oven for 25 min. Remove from the oven and set aside.
4. As for the vegetables, there are 2 options:
- Place the asparagus on a baking tin and sprinkle some olive oil and salt and pepper.
Bake it over the oven around 5 min
- Cook cauli flower over boiling water (add some salt in the water) for 1-2 min. Remove and
sprinkle some pepper over it and set aside.
5. To make soft-boiled eggs, bring a saucepan of water to boil. Turn off the heat and lower the eggs into the hot water. After 7 min, remove and set aside.
6. Assemble the chicken and vegetable on top of the bowls of rice and drizzle over the remaing juice from the baking tin. Break an egg onto each bowl of rice and serve.

Homemade Kueh Pie Tee ~



One day I saw Kueh Pie Tee mould shown below sold @ Cold Storage, then it inspired me to try to do one at home when we only usually eat them at food court or food centre or at buffet line.

And it can be a very intereting food to do @ party as it involves some hands on by your guests.

At a Kueh Pie Tee Party everyone gets empty shells and fills them up with whatever they want. I once saw people fill up with carviar on top, nice one I guess.

As for me the base filling is as below:

Ingredients:

Base fillings
1 medium size Jicama (Bang Kwang) (shredded)
1 carrot (shredded)
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
2 cloves Shallots (minced)
1 tablespoon dark soya sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup of chicken stock
Top fillings (you can choose any top fillings that you like anything that you can think of)
200g fresh prawns/steamed crab meat or a mixture of both
2 hard boiled eggs
coriander leaves & chillies for decoration
Direction:
1. Heat some oil in a large pot over a low heat. Add the minced garlic and minced shallot and stir fry until fragrant.
2. Add the shredded bang kuang and carrot  and sautee until fragrant. Add the dark soy sauce, salt and pepper, and then add water and chicken stock. Cook until the liquid dry up and set aside.
(Optional: you can add additional water/chicken stock to just-cover the bang kuang if you prefer softer texture than the crunchy texture)
3. As for the top fillings, you can boil the prawns or steamed crab meat and season it with some salt and then set aside.
(Optional: you can squeeze some lemon on it to make it more refreshing flavor)
4. Boiled eggs and cut them into small pieces or shredd them.
5. To serve, use chopsticks to fill the case with the base filling, and then top with shredded eggs, prawns or crab mean, and finally decorate with some red chilies and corriander leaves.

Molten Lava Cake ~

Its my boss's birthday, I asked him what kind of birthday cake he want for this year?
He name the Molten Lava Cake. Oops... so its quite simple... but I would like have some nice decoration and see what I found... BALLOON decoration I found @ Tott Bake Store

Too bad I didnt take the photo when the chocolate lava was melting out from inside...
 
 
I learnt this recipe from Raymond Blanc, but I did some changes to suit my boss taste, you can see how he did it at the youtube below...
 
 
 
What I have followed is just the fondant part... and I learnt from Chef Raymond that you can prepare this 1 day in advance by keeping in the fridge and only bake it the next day when you are ready to serve.
 
Ingredients:
15g cocoa powder
15g caster sugar
80g good-quality dark chocolate (I used 70% dark chocolate)
80g butter
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
30g icing sugar (you can used up to 45g if you prefer sweeter fondant)
18g arrowroot (I used tapioca flour instead)

 
 
Direction
1. Grease the insides of 4 ramekin moulds (I used 6cm diameter mould) with softened butter.
 

 
2. In a bowl, mix together the cocoa powder and caster sugar until well combined. Dust the inside of the ring moulds with the mixture, shaking off any excess.
 
3. Melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
 
4. Meanwhile, place the eggs and egg yolk into a bowl and whisk together until pale and fluffy.
 
5. Sift the icing sugar into the whisked eggs, whisking until well combined. Next, sift in the arrowroot and whisk until the mixture is pale, thick, has doubled in volume and the beaters leave a trail on the surface of the mixture when lifted.
 
6. Whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
 
7. Fill each moulds with the chocolate fondant mixture until they are three-quarters full. (I add my favourite hazelnut chocolate in the middle of the fondant as variation)
 
8. Chill the chocolate fondants in the fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
 
9. Preheat the oven to 200C/.
 
10. Transfer the chilled chocolate fondants to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove the fondants from the oven and allow to cool.
 
11. Run a butter knife around the insides of each mould to loosen the fondants. Carefully remove the moulds.

12. To serve, dust the chocolate fondants with icing sugar and place an ice cream next to the fondant. Serve immediately.
