Siew Mai by Dolly Lee‎


(Makes 50)

Ingredients

200g lean pork (dinely diced)
80g pork fats (finely diced)
250g shelled prawns (finely diced)
15g mushroom (finely diced)
50 pcs siew mai wrappers

Seasoning

1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp light soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp msg (optional)
2 tsp fine sugar
2 tsp cornflour

Method

1. Mix ingredients and seasoning.
2 Place portion of fillings on wrapper and fold up around the sides.
3. Steam over high heat for about 10 mins.

Note: I used minced pork. As I asked for some fats in the minced pork, I reduced the pork fat to 40g. I bought the round shaped wanton wrappers. I only made 20 pcs, each with about 2 Tbsp fillings. Size is bigger than what you would normally get from stalls. As its bigger, I steamed the siew mai for 15 mins. I used finely diced carrots for decoration.

Next attempt I will add more cornflour as the fillings was abit crumbly. My brother thinks that if I make them smaller, then there's no need to add cornflour as they will be eaten whole.

Roasted beef by Quek Zong Ye

Ingredients

1. About 1.5kg of Your preferred cut of beef for roasting I used tenderloin (because target audience don't like fats) but I usually prefer fatter cuts )
2. A handful of Button mushrooms
3. One white onion
4. Butter
5. Fresh cream
6. Springs of Rosemary
7. Springs of Thyme
8. Salt and pepper
9. White wine vinegar / white wine
10. Chicken/beef stock

For the meat

1. Rub the surface of the roast generously with freshly crushed black pepper and salt.
2. With a butchers twine ( 100% cotton strings works too, make sure there is no polyester in it) tie the meat with a few springs of Rosemary and thyme tightly into a compact roll.
3. Leave the steak to stand for 30mins till it reaches about room temperature ( if you are using frozen meat, make sure you plan ahead to ensure the meat is fully thawed out at the core before you start cooking!)
4. (it helps to make sure that the steak is as dry as it can be on the surface before searing! Else u will end up steaming it) I used a paper towel to pad dry the surface)
5. Preheat a pan and keep heat on high to medium high, drizzle a little olive oil and bring it up to just before smoking, sear the beef on all sides to start off the crust formation and sealing. The juice in. ( you want that loud sizzling sound when your beef touches the pan. If not. The pan is not hot enough for searing!)
6. Remove the beef and leave it aside . Preheat oven to 180'C
7.Do not discard the caramelized meat juices ( brown bits) left after the searing you will need them for the sauce)

For The Sauce

1. In the same pan used for searing the beef, melt a little butter. Add finely diced onions and sauté until soft.
2. Add in a little white wine vinegar/ white wine and bring it to a boil, scraping all the nice brown bits from the searing into the mix
3. Add into the sliced mushrooms and continue cooking until soft.
4. Add in a little fresh cream followed by chicken/ beef stock and cook until slightly ticken. Salt and pepper to taste.

For The Roasting

1. Pour the mushroom sauce into a deep baking/ roasting pan
2. Place the beef right ontop of the sauce and send it into the oven.
3. Reduce heat to 160'C. Cooking time depends on weight of your roast. For a 1.5kg chunk I used 45 mins.
4. 5 mins before the planned time is up. Check the core temperature with a meat thermometer. Around 55'C for medium rare and 60'C for medium. ( remember the meat continues cooking and core temperature rises by 3 to 5'c even after you pull it out of the oven . So for medium rare it's safe to pull it out around 52'C and medium around 57'C.)
5. Wrap the beef tightly in a aluminum foil and allow it to rest for at least 15 mins before cutting ( if you cut into it now, you loose all the yummy juices)
6. Pour the sauce back into a sauce pan from the baking pan, bring it to a slow boil and add a lobe of cold butter to the sauce and allow it to melt stirring continuously. At this point you might opt to add a little more stock / cream to the mix of the sauce is too thick.

To serve

1. Slice the beef to desired thickness
2. Scoop a generous amount of sauce on a plate and place roast beef ontop.
3. Sides to serve with ( I used sautéed boiled potatoes and green peas) you can use anything from mashed potatoes to string means or salads.

Jelly Hearts Cheesecake by Vicki Lai


INGREDIENTS

Crusts (Bottom Layer )

300g digestive biscuits
150g melted butter

Cheesecake (Middle Layer)

500g Cream cheese - soften at room temp
1.5 tbl spoon Gelatin powder
1 & 1/4 cups boiling water
2/3 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Strawberries cut into heart shape

Jelly (Top Layer)

1 Box Tortally Brand Strawberry Jelly Powder
1.5 tsp of Gelatin Powder
250ml of boiling water
150ml of cold water


STEPS

1. Grease a glass tray with butter, lay a sheet of baking paper over and grease the baking paper once through. (I using IKEA glass tray for baking)

2. Crushed digestive biscuits ( i crushed it by putting biscuits into ziplock bag and roll it with a rolling pin)

3. Grease the tray, mix the crushed biscuits and melted butte well till it resembles wet sand. Spread it evenly over the tray and press firmly to create the crust layer.
Cover and put in the fridge while you prepare the cream cheese layer.

4. Pour the boiling water over the gelatine powder and mix till everything is dissolved. Set aside.

5. In a bowl, cream the cheese and sugar till creamy and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Pour the gelatine mixture into the cheese mixture and beat well. It should resemble milkshake.

6. Bring the tray out and poke some holes all over the crust with a fork. Pour the mixture on top of the crust. Leave it in the fridge for about 15 mins.

7. Meantime, cut the strawberries into heart shapes. Then gently place them on the top cheese mixture. Put into the fridge and let it set for at least 4 hours or overnight.

8. Prepare the Jelly layer by pouring the boiling water over the jelly powder and gelatine powder. Mix till everything is dissolved.(Do not follow the water level stated on the Jelly packaging)

9. Pour the cold water into the mixture and stir well.Set aside till it is completely cool. The pour over the Cheese layer In low position slowly and gently. (Pour high and too fast will cause the cheese layer to break)

10. Pop into the fridge and let it set for another 4 hours before cutting.

Tips

1. Cheese cream must be soften before mixing, otherwise taste won't be good.
2. Patience is needed for this recipe as you have to do this layer by layer. I leave my cheesecake mixture in the fridge overnight for it to harden before I pour in the jelly mixture.
The first time I failed because I pour in the jelly mixture too fast and the cheese layer mix together with the jelly layer.
3. If you don't have a glass tray, you can do it in individual cup too.

Enjoy!!
