圣诞节平安夜。在家折腾点好吃的吧。
同朋友学了一个简单但好吃软糯的甜点。浓浓的椰子香味。很有东南亚的特色。
很简单了。就是把所有的原料加在牛奶或椰子奶一起用中火煮。再加些西米和糯米丸子。 最后加些椰浆将汁收浓。
Learned this simple and yet yummy desert from my roommate Bing.
1) 4 cup of milk
2) 1 cup of sugar plum fruit
3) 1 cup of coconut jam
4) 1 cup of jack fruit
5) 1 cup of frozen banana
Boil with medium heat till everything is tender. Then, add a cup of sweet rice balls, 1 cup of rice cakes
Till everything is ready and tender. Add 1/4 cup of coconut cream to thick the mix.
Christmas is coming. It's the time to bake some cookies and share them with friends.
So, mom and I turned my kitchen into a cookie shop with cookies laying all over the tables and counter tops. We even did the AB testing between my cookies and the cookies we got from the store. Surprisingly, my cookies tasted better!!!
Ingredients
* 3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
* 7 ounces sweetened flaked coconut
* Raspberry and/or apricot jam
圣诞节要到了。 烤点小甜饼同朋友们分享吧！
Ingredients
* 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
* 1/4 cup vegetable oil
* 1/3 cup unsulfured molasses
* 1 extra-large egg, at room temperature
* 1 1/4 cups chopped crystallized ginger (6 ounces)
* Granulated sugar, for rolling the cookies
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, and salt and then combine the mixture with your hands. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the brown sugar, oil, and molasses on medium speed for 5 minutes. Turn the mixer to low speed, add the egg, and beat for 1 minute. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula and beat for 1 more minute. With the mixer still on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the crystallized ginger and mix until combined.
Scoop the dough with 2 spoons or a small ice cream scoop. With your hands, roll each cookie into a 1 3/4-inch ball and then flatten them lightly with your fingers. Press both sides of each cookie in granulated sugar and place them on the sheet pans. Bake for exactly 13 minutes. The cookies will be crackled on the top and soft inside. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Very excited!!! I mean it's way more exciting to bake an ultra successful Chiffon cake than to push out a smooth release. :) I know if I ever say this in front of my engineers, I am going to get a bunch of rolling eye-balls.
太激动了。 第一次做戚风蛋糕就如此成功。太有成就感了。 可口，细腻，咸甜适中。。。在我的印象中，戚风蛋糕是个高水平的象征。简直不敢相信我这种业余水平的，也能搞定。
我妈边吃蛋糕，边说:“这蛋糕比大华买的还好吃。要是那天你不想做你的工作了，你就改卖蛋糕吧。我觉得你的手艺还可以找碗饭吃。” 承蒙我家老妈抬举我呀！
Ingredients for the Flour Mix
1) 1/2 cup cake flour mix
2) 1 tsp baking powder
3) 1/2 tsp salt
In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the above ingredient. Set aside.
Egg Yoke Mix
1) 4 egg Yolk
2) 2 tbs sugar
3) 3 tbs corn oil
4) 1 tsp vanilla extract
5) 2 tbs skim milk
whisk on medium speed for 2 minutes till all the ingredient is combined.
Then, add all the dry ingredient into the Egg Yoke Mix. Whisk till all are combined
Egg White Mix
1) 4 egg whites
2) 1/2 tsp white vinegar
3) 1/4 cup sugar
Tip: The most challenging part of making a chiffon cake is to make sure the cake still maintain a full body after it cools down out from the oven. The fully whisked egg white is the key to avoid a sagging cake body. How do you know the egg white is fully done? Turn over the mixing bowl. If the egg white does not fall or drip from the bowl, that's the sign.
Tip: Another key here is the action of "fold gentally" not "mix". This will help you get a smooth and light texture of the cake.
过感恩节了，又要请邻居过来吃饭，又要去朋友那边聚会，简直把我妈搞得不亦乐呼，烤个红豆椰奶年糕吧。美国人的节日，中国人的过法，合情合理。Tip: Many recipes call for condensed milk. I replaced it with threaded coconut. This way, the rice cake still has the nice coconut flavor but the fat and calorie is much reduced.
Tip: I made my own black sesame mix. The red bean mix is available in any Asian market.
Tip: You want to spray some oil on the foil before covering the baking pan with it.
Tip:The cake tastes great if you microwave it the next day for just 10 seconds.
这款小饼干，软软的，不太甜，健康养生。虽然味道没有办法同星巴克的小饼干相比。但从健康营养的角度出发，是个做早餐的好选择。 第二天，用微波炉打一下，香甜软糯，得到公司同事的一致好评。

装好了一些，准备明天带到公司犒唠一下我的同事。最近帮我做我的软件，比较辛苦一点。表一下感谢，也是应该的。
我家老妈，年轻的时候号称“王巧巧”。 现在没有事在我家闲着，我也给她找点事做。看她包装的小点心，多可爱。
终于过上了好吃懒做，衣来伸手，饭来张口的生活了！ 就一个字 - “爽”啊！
老妈还同我争论。到底是谁的功劳？ 她做的体力活。我做的高级包装，艺术指导和摄影。你说呢？
What should I bring to share with my friends tonight? Since mom is here, we can all enjoy some tasty Chinese desert. So, with my "tireless coaching, packaging and styling to her cooking techniques, mom made this steamed rice cake with black sesame. Tasty, soft but not too sweet!

This is one of the cozy and yet silly night one can spend with close girlfriends, catching up over dinner and then shading tears together over a movie...(Sigh) Hopelessly silly! :)
Cerina and TingTing were here tonight. So, I thought I could bake them some tasty banana bread for desert. Because of the raving reviews from the food network, I picked this recipe but made my own revisions to make it healthier. They liked it so much that I packed the extra bread and send them home with it.
It tasted light, yummy and not as dense as those available in Coffee house. And, it's very easy to make.

过年了，吃年糕，发红包，都是为了讨一个彩头。红红火火，一年更比一年高的意思。Tip: Many recipes call for condensed milk. I replaced it with threaded coconut. This way, the rice cake still has the nice coconut flavor but the fat and calorie is much reduced.
AssemblyTip: I made my own black sesame mix. The red bean mix is available in any Asian market.

星巴克的咖啡蛋糕确实让人无法抗拒，特别是我这种又特别爱吃甜食的人物。那就寻求一个美味健康的解决方案吧。这款香甜美味的蓝莓咖啡蛋糕，滋润，高纤，营养健康。在味道上虽比星巴克稍差一点，但想想免去了那60分钟的跑步机。那一点点的差距也值了。
Seriously, we need a cure over the coffee cakes from Starbuck. Those stuff are flat-out evil and bad. There was once I asked the shop-girl which one might be a remotely healthy choice there. The answer is pretty much nothing.
So, I figured that I need some tasty, moist and yet coffee cake. Here it is... Although it does not taste as good as the ones from Starbucks, I had to admit that, the taste did not suffer much at all.

上个周末在PEETS， CHRIS看着柜台里的小点心流口水。我就问他最想要吃什么。他点了一个南瓜玛芬。这个周末，在家看球赛，做一些边看球赛边喝下午茶。明天还可以做早餐。
下面的配方蛮健康的。我把原来FOOD NETWORK的配方做了些修改，减少了一些糖，用了全麦面粉，麦片和LOW CARB的面粉，加了葡萄干， 核桃仁和一些红莓酱。成品香甜滋润，很好吃。CHRIS说比STARBUCK的玛芬还好吃。
试试看吧？
Last week, while we were getting some coffee in Peet’s, I noticed that Chris was drooling over the pastry plate. So, I asked asked Chris what pasty he would fancy. He said pumpkin muffin. Oh, well, since I still have a couple of cans of pumpkin left from the Thanksgiving. I made it today, a perfect afternoon snack for a play-off game for Steelers.
In spite of many ingredients this recipes calls for, this is a rather easy and healthy recipe. The mini-pumpkin-muffins turned out moist and delicious. The chopped walnut and raisin enriched the texture, and made each bite more interesting and satisfying.
Marsha;"Chris, compared this one with the Starbuck's muffins, which one you like more?"
Chris:"Actually, believe it or not, yours seems to be better."
Marsha:” Chris, maybe we should wrapped all those little muffins up, otherwise, we would finish them before the game.”
Chris:” Na, not necessary…”
(A few minutes later and with a few more muffins disappeared) Chris:” Marsha, I think you are right. Those are so good, we’d better put them away, otherwise, we won’t have any thing left for tomorrow’s breakfast.”
Ingredients for the Batter
1) 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2) 1/4 cup splenda
3) 3 tbs molasses
4) 1/4 cup canola oil
5) 2 large eggs
6) 1 cup canned pumpkin
7) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8) 1/2 cup of raspberry source (from Trader Joe's) (optional)
9) 3/4 cup low fat buttermilk or (1/2 yogurt plus 1/2 milk)(Set this aside)
Prepare Batter
In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, molasses, oil and 1 egg until combined. Add the other egg and whisk well. Whisk in the pumpkin and vanilla.
Ingredients for the Flour Mixture
1) 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour (I used whole wheat)
2) 1/2 cup oat bran
3) 1 cup whole-grain flour (I used CarbquiK low carb bake mix)
4) 1 tsp baking soda
5) 1/2 tsp salt
6) 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
7) 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
8) 1/2 tsp ground cloves
9) 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Add Flour Mixture to the Batter
1) In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and whole-wheat flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
2) Whisk in the flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Whisk just until combined.
Adding Extra Flavor
1) 1/2 cup chopped walnut
2) 1/2 cup raisin
Bake
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2) Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
Tip: This is important to make it easier to take out the muffin. Today I coated it with margarine, I had a little problem of taking some of the little muffins out.
3) Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pan.
4) Tap the pan on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles.
5) Bake for 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center of 1 of the muffins comes out clean. For mini-muffin pan, I baked 10 min. It worked very well.
Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the muffins to loosen them and unmold. Cool completely on the rack.
我最爱吃巧克力葡萄干甜饼。软软的，甜甜的。再加一点椰子茸，烤香的核桃仁。
试一下这款甜甜软软的巧克力葡萄干甜饼吧
So, I made this cookie tonight. It had many ingredients including chocolate chips,oats multigrain, resin, coconut, pecan and was tender,flavorful and yet not too sweet.
It's definitely beats most of the cookies you can find in a grocery store. It's arguably even better than Softbake Chocolate Chip cookie from the Pepperidge Farm. Of course, I thought my cookie was better. Anyway, enough said, the whole wheat touch did not prevent him from raiding half of my cookies right off from the baking sheet.
I got the recipe from the foodnetwork, but made some adjustments.
Dry Ingredients
1) 1 cup all-purpose flour (I used whole wheat flour)
2) 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3) 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4) 1/4 teaspoon salt
5) 2 cups rolled (old-fashioned) oats (from Trader Joe's)
6) 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans (Tip: to have more obvious pecan flavor in each bite, you may want to chop the pecans really coarse)
7) 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
8) 1/2 cup shredded coconuts
9) 1/2 raisins
Wet Ingredients
1) 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2) 1/2 cup lightly packed light brown sugar (Tip: brown sugar makes cookies softer than regular sugar)
3) 1/2 cup granulated sugar (I did not add this)
4) 2 large eggs
5) 1 tablespoon of milk (Tip: it makes the cookie being software when it's done)
6) 1/4 cup maple syrup (I used grade B from Trader Joe's_
7) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix the Wet Ingredients
1) In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until it's blended
2) Beat in the egg until smooth and barely fluffy.
3) With mixer running on medium high, drizzle in the maple syrup, and vanilla until incorporated.
Mix The Wet and Dry Ingredients
1) In a medium bowl, stir the dry ingredients together
2) Then fold the dry ingredients into the web batch
Bake
1) Set 2 racks in the middle and upper thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
2) Drop walnut-sized balls of dough onto a nonstick or parchment-lined cookie sheet at 3-inch intervals.
3) With moistened fingers, flatten and round out the cookies a little.
4) Bake for 9 minutes, turning the pan once for even baking. The cookies are done when they are lightly browned on top. Set the cookie sheets on a rack to cool.
Tip: Don't over bake this cook if you want to have a soft-baked cookie. So, watch the cookies during the last 2 min closely.
The gingerbread is pretty good, although I have to say it has better presentation than taste, to be perfectly honest.
The taste may have suffered because I used the whole wheat flour and replaced the full-fat sour cream with a lite version. It was still a good choice to go with the duck, and I found it better the next day when it became more moisturized. It served well with some whipped cream.
Ingredients for the 1st Mix
1)4 oz of unsalted butter at room temperature
2)1/2 cup sugar
3)1/2 cup molasses
4)1/2 cup sour cream
5)2 large eggs at room temperature
Ingredients for the 2nd Mix
6)1.5 cups all purpose flour
7)1 tsp baking powder
8)1/2 tsp baking soda
9)1/2 tsp salt
10)1.5 tsp ground ginger
11)1 tbs finely grated fresh ginger root
12) 2 Granny Smith apple
Make the 1st Mix
Preheat the oven to 350 degree. Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan
Place the butter and sugar in a bowl of a mixer. Mix until creamy. Add molasses and mix until creamy. Add the sour cream and mix until creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Make the 2nd Mix
Add all the ingredients of the 2nd mix into the 1st Mix. Mix just to combine.
Place the batter in the prepared pan and smooth down. Tip:You want to make sure the outer part of the batter is equally thick as the center in order to make sure the surface of the cake comes out evenly. This is the lesson I learned.
Place the apples on top in a circle, around the edges of the cake. Tip:You also want to push the apple down a bit to letter the batter comes out a bit between the apple slices. This adds both the flavor and the presentation.
Bake
Bake at 350F for about 30 min.
Basting every 10 minutes with the melted butter. Tip:This is important to prevent the apple from being dry.
We also shared the plate with our neighbor the next door.
The filling actually wowed Chris. And, it's very simple to make.
Here is how to make the dough
* 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
* 2 teaspoons sugar
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup cold butter (1 stick), diced
* 1 large egg, lightly beaten
* Flour for rolling the dough
With the machine fitted with the metal blade, pulse the flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add the butter and pulse until it resembles yellow corn meal mixed with bean-sized bits of butter, about 10 times. Add the egg and pulse 1 to 2 times; don't let the dough form into a ball in the machine. (If the dough is very dry add up to a tablespoon more of cold water.) Remove the bowl from the machine, remove the blade, and bring the dough together by hand.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
Then, make the mini pie crust and put them in the mini muffin pan. Freeze the pie crust for another 30 min.
* One 15-ounce can unsweetened pure pumpkin puree (about 2 cups)
* 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
* 3 eggs, lightly beaten
* 1 1/4 cups half-and-half
* 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
It's a rather tasty and seasonal desert for Thanksgiving. I am going to a after-Thanksgiving party today, and it's perfect to share it with my friends. No need to cut a big pie into slices. No need to worry about the extra calories, since it's so small. I personally think it tastes better than the traditionally pumpkin pie.
In a food processor, pulse pecans with the sugar, salt, and flour, until the nuts are ground and the ingredients are combined. Add in butter and pulse until dough resembles coarse meal. Slowly pour in ice water through the feed tube, pulsing, until the dough comes together. Remove from processor bowl onto clean work surface sprinkled with flour.
Form dough into a ball and divide evenly into 24 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and evenly press into each cup, until the bottom is covered. If the dough is sticky, dip your finger in flour first.
Bake 15 to 18 minutes, until the crusts are very golden. Check periodically to make sure they don't get too brown.
Meanwhile, make the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and yolk with the corn syrup, sugar, pumpkin filling and vanilla. Stir in the chopped pecans.
tinsRemove dough from oven and spoon 1 tablespoon of the filling into each cup. Top each with 1 pretty pecan half. Return the pans to the oven and continue baking, for 12 to 15 minutes more, until the pumpkin filling is set. Allow to cool before removing from the pans.
我加了一些椰茸。香喷喷，很好吃，又不太甜。可以浇一些无糖糖浆在上面，就更完美了。
Morning, Chris still asleep, I went downstairs and made myself a cup of tea. Hmm...What we should have for some breakfast? Healthy, simple, different. I found this recipe, and it turned out to be pretty good.
I do product management for software, so I do customer demos a lot. The whole purpose of demoing software to a customer is basically to get the customer interested, interested enough to sign the deal. Right before a customer demo, I see my development manager running around in the office like a chicken with its head cut-off and telling everybody, “We have this important demo coming up at so-and-so date, we got to make this perfect!” So, of course, the demo is always very presentable, perfectly functional, the most user-friendly.
However, after the deal is sealed and the real release arrives, the customer may often find that the previous perfectly functional software starts to show signs of malfunction here and there. User-friendly? Oh, no, don’t be so delusional. Whether the software is going to do what you need it to do totally depends on its mood. Presentable all the time? You got to be kidding! You, the end user, should start increasing your tolerance level to the random error messages thrown at your face.
So, some may say that sounds very much similar to how women function before and after the marriage deal is signed off. The dating phase is like the demo. But, you can never set up your expectation low enough for the real version that arrives after the marriage paper is signed.
买了好玩的厨房用具，就一定要翻天覆地的折腾一番。大年十五过没有，不知道。管它呢？现在自己做些红薯芝麻花生汤圆先。
Got to find all sorts of excuses to play with my kitchen toys. So, let's make some black sesame mochi. Making some gigantic mass in the kitchen? No problem!
开蒸。成品嘛？马马虎虎了。不过在厨房了折腾折腾是蛮好玩，蛮放松的。
Steaming! Steaming! Steaming! The end result? Good enough, he, he, he.... The process , on the other hand, is rather enjoyable and relaxing.
