Braised Beef Brisket With Carrots

12:17 PM


Briskets is the cut from breast section, under the first five ribs. Although many other animals have briskets, the term here is to describe beef.
  • 750 g Beef brisket, 2-3 Carrots
  • 2 tbsp Cooking oil
  • 4-5 Ginger slices
  • 1 stalk Scallion
  • 2 clove Garlic, sliced
  • 1/2 tbsp Sweetened flour paste

  • Salt & chicken bouillon



  1. Peel and diagonally cut the carrots across. Roll it a quarter of a turn and cut off the next piece diagonally again. Cut scallion into chunks. Thoroughly rinse the brisket and cut into large pieces. To get rid of the blood and slime effectively , plunge brisket into a pot filled with boiled water and let stand for 15 minutes.

  2. Heat up a frying pan with oil. Stir in slices of ginger, onion, garlic, star anise and peppercorns until aromatic. Add in sweetened flour paste, sambel ulek rice wine, sugar and soya sauces Stir briefly. Add in briskets and carrots. Stir till all ingredients blended. Turn off the heat.

After cooking, the cooker automatically enters the "keep warm" status. After cooling, return the briskets into the frying pan and stir over the high heat until the whole mixture has thickened.

Soya Milk Prepared With Soya-milk Maker

9:36 PM
Soya milk is full of proteins, Vitamin-B and isoflavones. I am talking about REAL SOYA MILK, not those diluted one, or the soya beverages, which probably contain much of sugar. In supermarkets we can easily buy them in powder form, and they are no exception sweet. Street vendors sell just watery soyamilk. Therefore, homemade soya milk has gained popularity....
image nameimage name



  • 55-60 g Soya beans
  • 700 ml Warm water (below 70C/158F)
  • 1量杯/55-60克 黄豆
  • 700毫升 温水 (70C/158F以下)


image nameimage name

  1. Measure dry soybeans with the included measuring cup, about 55-60 grams. (I use JYDZ-15B soya-maker) Rinse the measured soybeans 2-3 times until water is clear. Discard the damaged beans and cover them with 3-4 times of water. Soak 8-10 hours at room temperature. After soaking, wash soybeans thoroughly with fresh water. Rub the skins off for a more smooth drink.
    用随机搭配的量杯勺出一平杯干黄豆,大约是55克。(我使用的是九阳豆浆机JYDZ-15B)黄豆清洗2-3次直到水清澈即可。挑出坏豆不用。用3-4倍清水,室温浸泡豆子8-12小时。泡好的豆子务必再用清水洗净才可以使用。搓去黄豆皮这样做出来的豆浆更顺滑。
  2. Place the soaked soya beans into the cup, and fill with warm water between the water level marks. It is quicker to make soya milk with warm water. Attach the filter to machine head and position machine head onto the cup. Connect power and press the SOYABEAN button to start. The whole process takes 8-10 minutes. Multiple audio beeps with a flashing light indicate the soya milk is ready. It may be consumed immediately. Filter through a colander to yield drink with a less grainy and creamier texture. Enjoy the fresh made soya milk with self-made yau-char-kwai.
    黄豆放入杯内,加入温水至水位线之间。用温水可以缩短制浆时间。拉法尔网装上机头,然后正确放入杯体。通电源,按下全豆豆浆键。制浆过程大约8-10分钟,完成后机器会用声光提示豆浆已好。喜欢口感更细腻顺滑口感的豆浆,可过滤后饮用。搭根自制油炸鬼,蘸着豆浆吃。

angiesrecipes
then the soya pulp/okara shall be cooked during the process. Or you will need to steam or bake the raw okara for about 20-30 minutes before applying to a recipe.

  • 330 g All-purpose flour
  • 5 g Active dry yeast
  • 150 ml Lukewarm soya milk
  • 2-3 tbsp Honey
  • 2/3 tbsp Salt
  • 80-100 g Okara, roasted
    angiesrecipes
  • 330克 中筋粉
  • 5克 干酵母
  • 150毫升 温豆浆
  • 2-3大勺 蜂蜜
  • 2/3大勺 食盐
  • 80-100克 烘熟豆渣


  1. Combine flour, yeast, soya milk and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with dough hook. Knead on lowest speed until a rough dough is formed, about 3 minutes. Add in salt and okara. Increase the speed and knead the dough until smooth and springy, about 8 minutes.

    面粉,酵母,豆浆和蜂蜜放到台式搅拌盆里。用面团搅拌钩将材料用低速搅拌成团,大约3分钟。加入食盐和熟豆渣。提高搅拌器速度将其搅打至面团匀滑及有弹性,大约8分钟。

  2. Lightly oil a mixing bowl and place dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to proof at room temperature for approx. 1 hour until doubled in bulk. Punch down dough and divide into two or three even pieces. Gently round each piece into a ball. Cover dough closely and let rest about 20 minutes.
    面团揉好后放到一个抹了些许油脂的盆里,盖上保鲜膜醒发直到双倍大,大约1个钟头。面团排挤出气体后匀切成2-3份。滚圆盖上保鲜膜松弛20分钟。

  3. If you divide the dough into two even portions, then form the loaf by rolling each into an oval, about the length of your baking tin. Turn over and roll up. Place them in a loaf tin. If the dough is divided into three portions, then shape the loaf by rolling each small dough into an oval, about the width of the baking tin. Fold it into thirds, overlapping them in the center, press the dough down firmly. Turn over and roll out into a 30-cm long strip. Turn over and roll up each to a column shape. Cover the loaf and set in warm place to rise until doubled. Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with desired topping, such as oat brans, poppy, caraway or sesame seeds. Bake in a preheated 180C/350F oven for about 40 minutes.

    如果面团是分成2份,那么将两份面团分别擀成模型长度大小的椭圆,翻面卷起后排入吐司模子进行最后发酵。如果是3份面团的话,那么每份面团擀成模子宽度大小的椭圆状。从上往下折1/3后,压紧。再从下往上折1/3,压紧。收口朝下,擀长面团,约30厘米。翻面后卷起成圆柱形。收口朝下放入吐司模内。盖上保鲜膜室温醒发至双倍大。表面刷上蛋液,随好洒上燕麦麸,罂粟籽,葛缕子籽或芝麻粒。入预热180/350F烤箱烘焙大约40分钟。

Matcha-Green Tea Marbled Cheesecake

4:33 AM
Matcha, which contains significant amounts of amino acids, is powdered green tea. Since antioxidant polyphenols ( the antioxidant effects of polyphenols appear to be greater than vitamin C) have been discovered in green tea, people start getting a bit way too much crazy for its health benefits.....
Take a note that any possible benefits of green tea are negated if it's taken with milk as calcium neutralize antioxidants. So now you get the idea....those matcha smoothie, ice cream, cakes...ect.etct.... they might taste good, but may not as healthful as you think...
