Cooking Tips & Recipe
- Thread starter little_cat
- Start date
Made this cake this morning.
Now can go polling liao...
Peach Teacake
==============
1 can of peaches
1/2 cup sugar**
1 cup self-rising flour
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
2 eggs
150 g butter (unsalted)
Note : oven to be pre-heated to 180 degree celsius
**you can lessen the sugar amount and add in some syrup leftover from the canned peaches, and in which case, you should add a little more flour
Steps :
- Grease the baking pan with some butter, and dust with some flour. Lay the peach halves into the pan
- In a bowl, add the eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla essence
- whisk the ingredients till light & fluffy
- Add the flour (sift it)
- Fold the flour in, and mix thoroughly
- Spread the mix over the peaches, even out
- Bake at 180 degree celsius for 45 mins . The pretty patterns on the surface are due to lesser batter that sit over where the peaches are, so if you want your cake to look pretty, arrange the peach halves well
- Remove from oven, and serve with hot custard or something cold, like vanilla ice-cream

Hi Lilipit,
Wow.. your Peach teacake looks very appetising... I just had a heavy lunch. After looking at your picture, I feel like eating something for dessert... lol...
Last nite, I had a catered party at my home. There's one dish that's very nice... Maybe one of these days I will try to experiment... Chicken in olives, mushrooms, tomato sauce. Very tasty...
choc06,
The baked apple pork chop is very simple and nice... Spread the apple sauce on the pork chop, then put into the grill till you like the level of "brown-ness". Maybe 45minutes...
Apple sauce:
Apple - mince (I used any apples. In angmo's recipe, Bramley apples is usually recommended for baking or cooking. But it's very expensive.)
Add some sugar, salt and lemon for taste. To prevent oxidation of the apples, slightly heat ("stir fry) the mixture in the pan first...
For the easiest alternative, go to Cold Storage and buy a bottle of Bramley apple sauce...

Hi all,
I was doing a search for black chicken recipe, and happen to chance upon this thread. Can I join in? I'm a Stay-At-Home-Mum-Wannabe and enjoys cooking. I've been eating more vegetables than meat for the past few years, but have recently started eating more meat after a miscarriage as mum & MIL both nag at me for not getting enough nutrition from veges alone...
I'm not sure if I am pregnant yet as I'm currently in my 2-week-wait period after ovulation, but I hope to become pregnant soon!
But I'll like to find out if it's safe for pregnant women to eat black chicken? I saw a recipe in this forum on black chicken essence with red dates and wolfberries... should be safe in case I get pregnant?
Hi lyn,
Good to meet you here!

He is now 9.5mths.
Hey Choc, yes, the peaches are arranged in the pan first, before adding the mixture. I also didnt know the pattern will emerge... found out only after the cake was baked...so it was good that i arranged nicely when i started ...kekeke

Hi Choc06
These are the pictures of our chocolate choclate chips cookies done a few weeks ago.... the photos were share with the sahm sometime back with ds helping.
Ds has been helping me with cookies making from very young, he has helped to make cookies and cakes from 16months and this year he was helped to make CNY cookies.

Over here was good as dh can be home earlier so he can helped ds take photos while my hands are dirtied.
Ds has been trained to sweep the floor, used vacuum cleaner as well as to mop up after his spill from 15months. I got the ideas from preschool power as he loves the series. And he has since being keeping all his toys, putting back all his books after reading, removing his socks, keep his shoes, take his dishes to the kitchen, clear all the unwanted stuff into the dustbin etc.

Here's the recipe for our chocolate chocolate chip cookies share some time ago with sahm too where Van told me about this thread.
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
(I used self-raising flour and minus the baking soda, I used small amount to bake but leave more space for it to expand.)
METHODS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180C).
2. In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well blended. Mix in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or just until set. Cool slightly on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Hi Sophie,
Welcome to this thread
Nice to see you here. It's certainly a happier one
hmm.. Remember to eat 5 colors and 6 types of fruits and vege a day if you gonna eat more vege.
Good luck to you... Lots of baby dusts for you...
Black chicken essence should be safe for pregnant women. My gynae taught me to use "pao sheng" or dang sheng or dong cong cao, red dates, and wolfberries to double boil with the black chicken.
Hi choc06,
hahaha... I was lazy to describe again ma... Then this morning very free so describe again lor... kekeke... I am using 3-in-1 microwave, bake, grill oven... I usually use the grill. I used to bake when overseas, but not anymore... cos back in Singapore, if I do bake, I gotta finish everything on my own...
For the apple pork chop, I think grill will be better than bake... I just use whatever apples I got in my fridge. Sometimes I use Fuji apple or granny smith. Bramley is expensive...

Hi Sophie
I takes alot of black chicken soup too during my pregnany with ds, however, I do not eat black chicken so I only drank the soup and dh ate the chicken, my mum does it this way, a few slices of bao sheng, dang tui, wolfberries and red dates/honey dates.
I also like lean pork soup that my mum makes with the same ingredients.
My mil did not cook me any special soups as she is not sure what to cook so she bought me birds' nest, cordyceps and bao sheng.
All you have to make sure is that you have a healthy diets with vegetables, fish, meat and fruits. You can also drink more milk. As I am lactose intolerance, I takes alot of home-made soy beans without sugar or with alittle of the golden sugar.

Lyn, thanks for the recipe.
All - Yesterday, we will with my dh's ex-colleague, retired teacher from Singapore who has migrated here as her childrens' family are all here. Have a good meal of peranakan pedas curry chicken that can only be served to Singaporean and we got our good buy, a 2kg plus salmon from Richmond Fishing men port at C$15. Will have grilled salmon, salmon miso udon soon.

For peranakan chicken curry, a simple way is to get the baba dry curry mixed and use coconut to cook the chicken.
But as a half-peranakan, we always see my grand, mum and aunties add in our own ingredients - we add in more chilli, shallots, garlic, galanga, etc.
Will ask my bro to get my mum to buy all the dried spices from Singapore to send over to me. I simply miss the peranakan food.
We have started training ds to take chilli by giving him warm soy bean milk and let him taste all the hot stuff little by little. He is able to eat some curry if we do not add in more chili.

Hi all,
Thanks for the advice on black chicken
Hi Choc06,
Nope, I haven't tested with HPT yet. Today is only 6DPO i.e. CD21 of my 28 days cycle, so I think it's too early to test. But I have been having symptoms like being constantly thirsty, sore nipples, heavier breasts (pretty happy about my new bustline hehe), and cramps & pains in my lower right abdomen, which makes me a little scared.
Hi lilipit,
I'm also a novice at baking... baked my first kueh lapis this CNY with a friend who came to my place to teach me. It was a great success, and when I tried to do it myself the 2 following weekends, the bottom layers got burnt. Probably something went wrong with my oven temperature control. Have since stopped baking cos I was still tired out from my kueh lapis episode!
Hi Pris,
Woah, I am impressed that you trained your ds so well... to the extent of sweeping the floor! haha, I must aim to do that next time too! And your son's really cute, looks like my twin brothers when they were young. My dh complimented him too!
Hi lyn,
Thanks for the advice on black chicken too. surprised you gynae gave you tips on chinese herbs, cos I thought most gynaes more Westernised. Yep, this is definitely a happier thread... food always makes me happy! Will remember to eat more different-colored vege...

Hi Sophie
Do not get to worry. Just have to rest well and eat well. Remember do not carry heavy things, leave them to the man of the household. You can continue with some light housework but do not wear yourself out.
Sophie, the problem is that dh and myself is not comfortable to have a live-in maid and we felt that we should train ds, and in a way, it also help us and he learnt to be neat and in future he can help his wife as well. My dh and I have a agreement before marriage which is his area of household chores and he still do them today so with ds, we just make him do the simple chores and this is also the house that he stays in and we felt that it is also his responsibility to take care of the house.
I also have a aim for a four year gap between my ds and then #2...so that I can train him well, nurture him and spend quantity as well as quality of time with him. I am praying and planning for my #2 next year, hopeful the EDD will be the same time as my ds.

I think it's better not to keep the apple sauce for too long. Usually I will use it once I made the sauce. Cos apples will oxidise easily. I am not sure if you add lots of sugar and lemon juice will help in preserving the apple sauce, but certainly to cook the apple sauce first...

You are going to try out the apple sauce pork chop soon? Me too! Probably this week will try it out.
Talking about confinement food, does anyone here tried and tested recipe for making Zhu Jiao Chu (Pig trotter in black vinegar),though I don't like to eat pork, but I like the sauce,and hubby like the meat and the sauce over rice.
I do have the recipe,but was looking for a simple and tested one.
LittleCat,
About steam squid for teo chew porridge, are u referring to the plain one that they serve with Citrus Oil(Ju Yu)? I like that too. In fact,I love squid and all food with that kind of chewy texture.Sotong,pacific clams,abalone,pig's stomach,chicken and duck stomach.
Have u tried steam squid stuff with minced pork.It's delicious. My aunt always make that,but she said need to get very fresh squid.
Also like the Thai Grill Squid at Takashimaya food court,wonder how they marinate the squid?
You are going to try out the apple sauce pork chop soon? Me too! Probably this week will try it out.
Talking about confinement food, does anyone here tried and tested recipe for making Zhu Jiao Chu (Pig trotter in black vinegar),though I don't like to eat pork, but I like the sauce,and hubby like the meat and the sauce over rice.
I do have the recipe,but was looking for a simple and tested one.

Choc06...yes, I have some recipes, let me go through them and I will post it here. Yes, we were so happy with our buy as the salmon at the supermarket is at least $5-7 per pound (454g). And we just have teriyaki salmon today.

Crab Chilli Sauce Sin Long's is the best,but hard to find, not even in NTUC and Cold Storage, think only Sheng Song has it. If not try Chng Kee,in NTUC. There is another brand Thai Sing, saw in NTUC and Shop n Save,but have never tried.You try already then let me know,ha ha!
Have never used other type of chilli sauce such as garlic chilli, for chilli crab.
The pineapple rice mix is really good, loved by all adults and kids! Becos it's already so good, no motivation to go and find recipe to make the mix myself.
Tried their green curry mix,not that fantastic.

Yah lyn,stir fry but the tangkui must be soft, the soup restaurant made it very tasty, think they added some hua tiao and msg..
My MIL will also fry the big pcs(peeled ones) of ginger in a little sesame oil, to make the ginger totally dry. And to make it spicier, she adds one or two fresh chilli. The sugar she added is gula melaka.

Amelia,
There's a differece in the way your boil - double boil or direct heat. Apparently, double boil is not so heaty or liang... Double boil, need two pots, one bigger and one smaller one. For the nutritional content difference of double boiling and direct boiling, I am not sure...
