[Healthy Version] Bubur Terigu - 大麦

Bubur Terigu/Bubor Terrigu also known as White Wheat Sweet Porridge is a common dessert that can be found in most dessert stalls in Singapore. Depending on individual stalls and personal preference you can use either palm sugar(gula malaka)/brown sugar/cane sugar to cook this wheat porridge together with some coconut milk/cream.

This is one of my mum's favourite hawker desserts which she always order when we are having our usual dessert break. Normally this is quite a heavy dessert due to the amount of coconut cream/milk used which some of us might not prefer even thought white wheat is good for our health. Here I have prepared a lighter version without stirring in the coconut milk/cream like most of the traditional method and it still taste as good as the usual one.

Ingredients: (serves 4)
100g White Wheat (Terigu), soaked at least 2 hour
1.2 Litres of Water
1 Bundle of Pandan Leaves, washed and tie into knot
Pinch of Salt
Cane Sugar to Taste

Toppings:
* Palm Sugar Syrup
Coconut Cream/Milk

Tips:-

To make the palm sugar syrup:-
1. Bring 2 cubes(about 200g) of Palm Sugar(Gula Melaka) together with a knot of pandan leaves and 80ml of water to boil.

2. Lower the heat and simmer till the palm sugar cubes melt and syrup slight thickened.

3. Remove pan from heat and sieve the syrup into a sterilised glass jar and cool completely before storing in the fridge.

Method:-

1. Bring 1.2 litres of water to boil in a saucepan(used my small Endo, thermal magic cooker), then add in the drain white wheat and let it simmer for about 7 - 10 minutes.

2. Remove the pot from stove and place it into the magic cooker, cover and let the wheat continue to cook through using the heat from the pot.

3. After 30 minutes, remove the pot and simmer it on low heat again for another 5 minutes together with pandan leaves.

4. When done, place the pot back into the magic cooker, cover and let it cook for another 15 - 20 minutes till the wheat became soften.

5. Remove the pandan leave and add in cane sugar/caster sugar to taste while simmer the pot on stove over low heat.

6. Turn off the heat, stir in pinch of salt and ladle into serving bowl and serving with coconut cream/milk and gula maleka syrup according to personal preference.

*7. If you are normal pot, simmer the white wheat with 1.3 litres of water over low heat for at least 40 - 50 minutes(add pandan leave 30 minutes later) till wheat soften. Stir in sugar to taste and serve with coconut cream/milk.


The inner pot of this magic cooker can be used on any stoves as well as on induction cookers which then helps to save time, gas or electricity and at the same time achieve perfect cooking too.

Zebra Pandan Chiffon Cake

A few days ago, I saw a beautiful Zebra Pandan Chiffon Cake from one of the Chinese website which I get to know through Aspiring Bakers event. And upon looking at it I knew I must give it a try because Pandan Chiffon is one of my favourite childhood cake even till now. This Zebra Chiffon required some sponge cake to achieve the zebra effect but since I cannot find any sponge cake at my area I replaced it with Japanese Cotton Cheesecake which yield a different end result compare to the original recipe.

Dark Soy Sauce Chicken with Potato Cubes Stew

I love this dish especially during busy weekday nights where I only have very limited time to prepare dinner. This one pot dish look and taste rather quite similar like "Beef Stew" due to it's ingredients like Onion, Carrot, Potato and Tomato. But this is more like a fusion dish towards Asian taste whereby dark soy sauce, sesame oil and cooking wine is being incorporate into the ingredients.

Yesterday after sharing a photo of this simple home cook dish over at Facebook page (Here), I was surprised that there are quite a number of the readers actually "Like(s)" this dish and also requested for the recipe. So without any photos on the preparation steps, I hope you can still follow the recipe and cooking method below.    

This dish can be cooked in either dry or soup version because you can adjust the amount of water according to your preference. I preferred more gravy if I am having this as a one pot dish so that we can  drizzle it on  steamed rice. The gravy has a combination of sweet, sour and starchy flavour due to  the tomato and potato. Usually with this my family will always request extra serving of rice to go with this dish.

Ingredients: (serves 2 - 3)
5 Chicken Wings, cut into halves
3 Medium Size Potato, peeled and cut into 1" cubes
2 Medium Size Tomato, halves and seeds removed
1 Medium Size Carrot, peeled and cut into 1cm thick slices
2 Medium Red Onion, cut into wedges

Seasonings:
1 Teaspoon Thick Dark Soy Sauce
1 Teaspoon Light Soy Sauce
1 Teaspoon Cooking Wine
50 - 70ml Hot Water

Method:-

1.Trim and clean the chicken wings, cut them into halves(drumlet and mid-joint), marinate with 1 teaspoon of cornflour, 1/2 teaspoon of dark soy sauce, sesame oil and cooking wine. Set aside for 3 - 5 minutes while preparing the rest of the ingredients.

2. Heat up a saucepan or frying pan with 1 tablespoon of oil, fry the potato cubes(dust it evenly with some cornflour)for 3 minutes or until slightly golden brown, remove on plate and continue the same method with carrot.

3. Next using the same saucepan/pan, toss in onion wedges and saute till fragrant before adding in the marinated chicken wings.

4. Fry both side of the chicken wing till slightly brown, add in potato and carrot together with seasonings and give it a quick toss before pouring in the hot water(water level must be able to cover the chicken).

5. When the mixture comes to boil, add in tomato and simmer on low heat for about 15 - 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, potato and carrot soften and soup is almost thicken.

6. Lastly, drizzle some sesame oil and dash of pepper, top with spring onion(cut into sections) and serve with hot steamed rice.

Cost of Ingredients:
~ Chicken Wings = S$2.50
