Salted caramel & oreo cheesecake

This was a birthday cake baked at the last minute as I was not feeling well over the weekend. I've planned to bake this cheesecake long ago and I was even hesitating to present it as a belated birthday cake. Unfortunately I was not able to attend the birthday dinner on Sat and was lying down in bed most of the time. Thankfully I was slightly well enough to do up the cake on the actual day. Happy Birthday T! I will get a "make-up" dinner after-all.

Ingredients/ Method:

Base

6 pieces of digestive biscuits (about 80g)

40g butter, softened

Filling
500g cream cheese, at room temperature
30g caster sugar
20g cornflour, sieved
200ml whipping cream
3 eggs, lightly beaten

A: zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp vanilla essence
9 pcs of oreo cookies, roughly crushed

B: 75g salted caramel dark chocolate, melted
1 tbsp cocoa powder, sieved

Chocolate ganache

100g dark chocolate bar (I used 85% cacao) 

25g butter

50g whipping cream

Decoration

1/3 cup whipping cream, whipped with 1/2 tbsp powder sugar

mini oreo cookies

salted caramel dark chocolate 

1. For base, crush the biscuits and mixed well with the butter. Press onto 7' loose base tin. Put into fridge until ready to use. Wrap outer tin with aluminium foil.

2. Preheat oven at 140 deg C.

3. Beat cream cheese, sugar and cornflour until smooth and creamy. Add in whipping cream. Lastly, add in eggs. Divide mixtue into 2 portions.

4. Stir ingredient (A) into one portion of cream cheese. Pour onto base and steam bake for 30 mins.

5. Stir ingredient (B) into one portion of cream cheese. Pour onto oreo layer which has baked through. Steam bake for another 30 mins.

6. Turn off oven and leave cake in oven with door closed for 30 mins.

7. Remove cake from oven and leave to cool completely. 

8. Melt dark chocolate bar, butter and whipping cream. Pour onto the chocolate cheese layer.

8. Cover cake and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.

9. Remove cake from tin. Decorate as desired.

P.s The chocolate ganache is slightly too hard and should add more whipping cream the next time. The 85% dark chocolate is too bitter for most of them, to use a "sweeter" chocolate the next time.

Portobello mushroom stuffed with potato

I'm a mushroom lover since young maybe due to my mum's influence, as she always has mushrooms in most of her cooking. However during one of the medical check-ups couple of years ago, the doctor tested me to have a slightly higher level of uric acid and mushroom is one of the stuff that I have to avoid. Regardless, I'm not avoiding mushroom totally but to consume in moderation.

During our recent grocery shopping at the supermarket, I saw a very beautiful pack of large portobello mushrooms, and how can I resist...hehehe. So our today's lunch is portobello mushroom stuffed with potato. It's a pretty easy dish to prepare and the big porto mushroom is really juicy!! One big mushroom is good enough for a serving.

Portobello mushroom stuffed with potato 
(makes 4 servings)

Ingredients/ Method:
A) 4 big portobello mushroom
olive oil

B) Mashed potato
5 medium sized potato, skinned
7 baby carrots
50g broccoli
50g bacon bits
2 small onions, diced
olive oil

1 tbsp butter
1/2 cup milk

75g mozzarella & cheddar cheese

1. Rinsed and dry the mushrooms with kitchen towel gently. Set aside. 
2. Boil potato in a pot of boiling water for about 5 mins, or until the potato is soft enough to be mashed. Mash potato using fork in a bowl and set aside. 
3. Boil broccoli and carrots in a pot of boiling water for about 3 mins. Diced the broccoli and carrots, set aside. 
4. In a pan with some olive oil, sauteed the small onions for couple of minutes and add in bacon bits. It is ready when the bacon bits look slightly crispy. 
5. In a small pot, melt butter and add in milk until boiling. Add in seasonings and continue to boil for a minute. Leave to cool slightly.
6. Add butter-milk to the mashed potato and mix well. (Adjust the amount of butter-milk to be added, you may need lesser depending on the moisture of potato.) 
7. Next, add diced broccoli, carrots and bacons bits to the mashed potato.
8. Put 1 1/2 ice-cream scoops of mashed potato on the mushroom caps and slightly pressed down. 
9. Pour some olive oil in the pan, and lightly pan-fried the rounded side of the mushroom on low-medium heat for about 3-5 mins. 
10. Transfer the mushroom to the baking tray. Generously sprinkle cheese on top of the mashed potato/mushroom. 
11. Bake in pre-heated oven 175 deg C for 10 mins. 
12. Serve hot with a dollop of mashed potato at the side. Drizzle some truffle oil on the mushrooms.

云吞面 (Wanton dumpling noodles)

Now that I'm taking a long break from my career, I'm officially a SAHM. I'm enjoying the time with Z who is in primary 1 this year, and hopefully I can set some useful foundations for his curriculum and future learning. Before I took THE decision, my boy wasn't too happy that I will not be working (as he can't understand why I can "relax" at home and he has to attend school; in his own meaning, this is "unfair" that he can't choose!) There are always so many whyS from Z but I'm happily attempting to explain them all as simple as I could. A few weeks after being a SAHM, I asked Z again whether he's happy that I can be with him most of the time, thankfully his reply is a sheepish and happy 'yes'!

I'm taking lunch orders from my little master and this 云吞面 (wanton dumpling noodles) is one of his requests! (Ps. Should it be 云吞面 or 云饨面 i.e. 吞=to swallow; 饨=chinese riavoli?) The wanton is made based on my memory on how it was done together with my late mum. And what is 云吞面 without char siew?! I found one simple and easy, not compromising on taste, char siew recipe in Food Canon. I made half the portion (500g) of the original recipe (and regretted it) hehe..

I'm copying the recipe here for easy reference, please visit Food Canon blog where there are couple of write-ups on making good char siew.

叉烧肉 (Char Siew)
Ingredients/ Method
1 kg pork belly (I used 五花肉 which the butcher sold to me when I said I wanted to make Char Siew)

Marinate/Sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp honey (I used maltose)
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp rose flavored chinese wine (or other chinese wine)
1 tsp 5-spice powder
1 bowl of water

2 tbsp oil

1. Heat up wok and add in oil. 
2. Add pork and after 5 minutes, add all ingredients into the wok and simmer for 40 mins or till the pork is tender enough. 
3. Remove most of the sauce into a separate bowl. 
4. Caramelise the meat in medium heat, add some maltose (or honey), about a minute or two per side. 
5. After the char siew is done, coat lightly with some honey. (I skipped this step). 

(P.s. I think the char siew would taste even better if marinated overnight.)

云吞/ Wanton dumplings 
(makes about 80 to 100 dumplings)

Wanton skin
300g minced pork
10 prawn, deveined and chopped
5 water chestnuts, skinned and chopped
2 pieces dried 蝙鱼, toasted and pound into powder-form
Oyster sauce
light soy sauce
sesame oil
pepper
corn flour

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. 
2. Continue folding and kneading the pork mixture for about 10 mins. Rest the pork mixture for about 1 hour in the fridge. 
3. To wrap dumpling, take a piece of wanton skin and put slightly more than 1/2 tsp pork mixture in the centre. Fold the skin and giving it a tight squeeze to seal it. 

To cook the dumplings
Prepare a pot of boiling water, and throw a few dumplings into the pot. It's cooked when the dumplings float on the surface of water.

To prepare soup for the dumplings
Boil soya beans and dried scallops (or anchovies) on low heat for at least half and hour. Or longer to have a more robust tasting soup. Add salt to taste.

To prepare dry 云吞面
Prepare a pot of boiling water and cook the noodles for about 3 to 5 mins (depending on type of noodle used). Scoop up the noodles and let it run under tap water, and drained.

Seasoning for noodles: Ketchup, sesame oil, oyster sauce, char siew sauce (from above), fried shallots.

Yoghurt blueberry cake

Lavender chiffon cake and cupcakes

My ex-colleague was recently hospitalised and I was thinking of baking something "light" when I visit her. I did a Lavender chiffon cake before and since it's not readily available in the market, reckon it would be special too! 

The original recipe is for 8" chiffon tube pan, but I baked them in 6" chiffon tube pan (baking time reduced to 25 mins) and remaining batter into cupcakes (baking time 18 - 20 mins).  

Recipe for Lavender Chiffon Cake

20g Caster sugar
90g Whole milk

120g Self-raising flour
5 Egg whites
70 Caster sugar
1 tsp Corn flour


Method:

1. In a heatproof bowl, microwave dried lavender with milk for about 20secs at high heat. This is to bring out the fragrance of the lavender. Leave aside. (I boil the milk & lavender in a small pot over low heat.)
2. Mix egg yolks with sugar till light yellow.
3. Add in salt, lavender with milk and cooking oil. Mix well.
4. Sift in self-raising flour and mix well.
5. In a separate clean bowl, beat egg whites till foamy.

Chocolate cheddar cheesecake

I've made a couple of cheddar cheesecakes using this original recipe, and had modified it to orange-flavoured one before. Thinking it would be quite straight forward to make it into a chocolate version, but it resulted to something quite different. At first glance, it looks like the Magic Custard Cake, which I've bookmarked but yet to try. Without making comparison to the original cheddar cheesecake and to eat this cake on its own merit, I would say it's pretty good. 

Chocolate cheddar cheesecake

(makes a 8" x 8" square pan) 

Ingredients:
6 slices of Cheddar Cheese
100ml fresh milk
100g unsalted butter
6 egg yolks
6 egg whites (preferably cold, place in fridge after separating)
100g caster sugar
75g cake flour
25g cocoa powder 

Method: 

1. In a heatproof saucepan, place the butter, fresh milk and tear up the cheddar chesee slices in. 
2. Place saucepan over medium low heat and stir gently until all is melted and mixed in together. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool before use. 
3. Ladle big spoonful of the milk mixture into the egg yolks. Mix well and then add in the rest of the milk mixture in. Stir well. 
4. Sift in the cake flour and cocoa powder into the egg yolk mixture and make sure no lumps. 
5. Preheat the oven to 155 deg C with a water bath. 
6. Grease and line an 8x8 square baking pan. 
7. In another large mixing bowl, add the egg whites in and beat till foamy. Add in the sugar gradually and beat till stiff peaks. 
8. Gently fold in 1/3 of the egg whites portion into the cheese mixture. And repeat with the other 2 portions and careful not to deflate it.
9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the surface. 
10. Bake the cake in the oven for 50 minutes or till the tester comes out clean.
11. Chill the cake before serving.
