Seri Muka

Once I start, I can't stop! It all started when my other half suggests to bring a dessert to a host who were planning on making nasi lemak.

 First time doing it and it was a hit. The flavours were there. Only needed to tweak the steaming process as it didn't come out flat after trying for three times. MOH thinks it's to do with the coconut cream brand used. Which can be true.

 I relied on this recipe when making it and substitute the Pandan leaves to a paste which I had cleverly add to reach the right colour.

Flavour tastes amazing regardless!

Beef Stew with Pressure Cooker

Just to save time! And it turned out tastier than it looks. And the meat is tender too~

Does pay to learn the type of beef cuts for this =)

My referred recipe sites were foodinaminute 
And from thesaltymarshmallow for pressure cooking tips

As well as I read 10 tips about using the pressure cooker too to learn more about the time saved when cooking various things.

Important thing to take away using pressure cooker:

• Need to add more gravy as it keeps moisture
• Must release valve slowly after cooking and before even touching any parts of the pressure cooker
• Bring to high heat, until it starts sizzling then bring the heat down slightly
• Have to empty the dish and wash immediately after using

Time saved:
Instead of cooking 1.5-2 hours, I cooked for 35 mins, then left it on off for another 10 minutes.


See below for more steps that I use for cooking :)

Modified Chocolate Brownies

Well, I thought I needed to bake these brownies from this recipe but no it was straight into the fridge ready to eat.

Then again I had uncooked cashew nuts....so better be safe and bake them slightly

Turned out amazingly moist and hits the spot with all the nutty ingredients, packed intensely with wonderful energy and healthy 'fats'

Thanks Kim though! For the instant simple recipe, using initially only just 4 ingredients.

Makes roughly 12 pieces from an 8" square baking tray
