Chee Cheong Fun

Chee Cheong Fun is a rice noodle rolled sheet which is a popular breakfast in Malaysia and Singapore. It is normally eat with sweet sauce, chili and sesame.

We did not make the Chee Cheong Fun but get the ready pack from NTUC supermarket. Snow White wanted to roll the chee cheong fun with the fried carrot and turnip. However, the Chee Cheong Fun was over frozen and turned out to be too lumpy and hard to unroll.

This is what Chee Cheong Fun supposed to look but it end up looking like Kway Tiao. ^^

The lunch is not totally destroyed as the fried carrot and turnip is amazing tasty.

Ingredients:

1/2 turnip (shredded)

1 carrot (shredded)

dried shrimp (soaked)

dried cuttle fish (shredded)

3 garlic (minced)

2 onion (minced)

Mixed the oyster sauce, soya sauce, pepper, salt with a bowl of water.

Method:

Sauteed the garlic, onion, shrimp and cuttle fish till fragrant. Add in the shredded carrot, turnip and mixed sauce. Stir fried a while and let it simmer for 20min.

Steamed the Chee Cheong Fun, lay it on a plate and pour the fried turnip and carrot over it. Garnished it with spring onion, coriander, sweet sauce, chili and sesame. Tah Dah! Our new creation of Chee Cheong Fun is ready to serve.

Seafood Yee Mee Soup

Seafood Yee Mee Soup, using the same recipe of fish soup. The ingredients include, sliced fish, prawn, tofu, cabbage, chye sim and tomato. This time we did not pan fried the fish but boiled in the soup directly.

The Yee Mee is boiled, drained and put aside. When the soup ready, then pour over the Yee Mee. Garnished with shallots and spring onion and the Seafood Yee Mee is ready to serve.

Souffle

Souffle is an fluffy sweet savory, made with egg yolks and beaten egg whites combined with other ingredients.

This is Snow White first attempt on this dessert, she did the blueberry and chocolate souffle based on this recipe.

It is a bit burnt on the top as we used aluminium muffin cup and baked in a mini toaster oven.

When the souffle ready to come out of the oven, it was puffed up and fluffy.

After a few minutes, the souffle fall rather quick just likes a flattened balloon.

The Souffle is best to serve hot or it will be too dense when cold. The texture is likes eating cotton candy, a light dessert which can be eaten immediately after a meal.

As simple as it is, Salted Fish fried rice, with vegetables, salted fish, eggs, or any combination of the ingredients above and more. Regardless of the recipes, fried rice always pleases Rapunzel taste and appetite. A good fried rice calls for overnight rice. Keep it in your fridge overnight, and you will have the perfect overnight rice for Salted fish fried rice.

Add in soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, white pepper powder and continue to fry the rice for a couple of minutes. Make a “well” in the middle of the wok and pour the beaten eggs then cover the “egg well” with rice.

Potato Chicken & Fried Celery with Rice

The celery is sautéed with minced garlic, dried prawn and a tablespoon of oyster sauce. Babe does not really like the taste of raw celery but when fried with dried prawn, the celery taste crunchy and sweet.


Fried the potato and put aside for later used. Stir fried the garlic, big onion then add in the chicken. When the chicken turned white, add in the fried potato. Reduce the heat and add in water, oyster sauce, dark sauce and salt to taste. Let it simmer for 30min or more till the chicken become tender and the potato turn soft.
