Oil-free Mini Egg Biscuit 无油迷你鸡蛋饼干

Plain. Roll with slightly wet hands, the surface is smooth.

Mini Egg Biscuit with Blackcurrant, I was in a rush, just rolled out everything without wetting my hands constantly. Got a little crack here and there... This batch are so crunchy that I can't stop munching!



No Oil, No Butter..... one of my favorite no-guilt snack! 

These biscuits are crunchy if you made them small, slightly chewy in the middle if you made them a little bigger. These biscuits were made without oil and butter, so do not expect it to melt in your mouth like butter cookies. :) 






Ingredients: 材料

(A)

1 Egg (lightly beaten) 鸡蛋 1粒 ,打散

(B)

75g Milk Powder 奶粉 75克

40g Icing Sugar (Can be reduced for less sweet biscuit) 糖粉 40克,不爱吃甜的可以减少份量

10g Corn Flour 玉米粉 10克

100g Potato Starch 马铃薯粉 100克







Blackcurrant or any dried fruits (optional) 黑加仑果干/葡萄干/其它干果,随意,不放也可以

把手稍微沾点水,把面团分割成小球,搓圆。(小的饼干烘烤后会香脆,大的饼干烘烤后中心会有点QQ的。)

Oven Baked Prawn Paste Chicken 烤虾酱鸡(免油炸)



Prawn paste chicken aka Har Cheong Gai was introduced by the hubby in a not so healthy way, he packed the prawn paste fried chicken for my supper. Deep fried with oil, loaded with oil but I really love the flavour! The only way to fulfill my craving but not consuming so much oil from deep fried is.... home cooked!





I have 2 healthier cooking and less oil method - oven baked and air fried. Both methods uses much lesser oil compared to deep fried. I personally preferred the air fried method because the cooking time is shorter and air-fry method helps to extract the oil from the chicken (those fat under the skin). For air fried method, click here for recipe. 


This was my first attempt back in year 2014.
Used chicken thigh, the skin is crispy and the meat is juicy! 


Ingredients:
材料

400g Chicken Wings or thighs/ drumstick with skin 鸡翅膀/鸡腿 400克


Seasoning: 腌料

1 tbsp Shrimp paste 虾酱 1汤匙

1 tbsp Oyster Sauce 蚝油 1汤匙

1/2 tbsp Shao Xing Hua Tiao Cooking Wine 绍兴花雕酒 1/2汤匙

Some White Pepper 胡椒粉 适量

1 tsp Sesame Oil 麻油 1小匙

1 heap tsp Corn Flour 玉米粉/粟粉 1小匙满


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some Corn Flour for coating 玉米粉/粟粉 适量

Cooking Spray or cooking oil 油 适量

Method:步骤

1. Mix all seasoning in a bowl. 
腌料拌均。



2. Add chicken and mix well with hand. Do a little massage to the chicken. (I normally wear glove when handling raw meat and seasoning). Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor! 
加入鸡肉,拌均。盖上保鲜纸,放进冰箱腌隔夜。






3. Remove from fridge. Coat the chicken with corn flour. Place onto a lined baking tray. Let it sit for 30 minutes or until return to room temperature.
取出鸡肉,沾上玉米粉/粟粉。放置30分钟或回室温。









4. Spray some cooking spray all over (or brush with a thin layer of oil). Bake in a preheated oven 210'C for about 25 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Serve warm.
喷/涂上少许油,放进已预热的烤箱,以210度烘烤25分钟左右或香脆熟透。若喜欢我的食谱,可以LIKE和追随我的面书专页,不要错过最新食谱发布。

Air Fried Crispy Prawn Paste Chicken 虾酱炸鸡 (气炸)





I like crispy fried food with great flavor and here's another of my favorite dish - Shrimp Paste aka Prawn Paste Fried Chicken. I have 2 methods cooking this flavorful dish using much lesser oil compared to the usual deep-fried chicken - oven-baked and air fried. 

The method that I often use is air fried because the cooking time is shorter and the chicken is less oily compared to oven-baked chicken. The air fry method helps to extract the fat underneath the chicken skin. 

Air-Crisp ~ Fried Prawn Paste Chicken Drumstick

Air-Crisp ~ Fried Prawn Paste Chicken Wings


The Ninja Foodi multi-cooker that I'm using is a combination of a pressure cooker and air fryer in one pot, it's super-efficient and time-saving. The heat distribution is even and it heats up real fast compared to my other air fryer. This is so far the best air-fryer I have ever use and that's the reason why I'm recommending to my readers. 

The deep pot could prevent oil/ residues splatter all over the crisping lid making it easy to maintain and clean. 

The one in front is my Ninja Foodi OP300 after 6 months of heavy usage, the crisping lid still as good. The one simple step is to wipe it clean with a damp cloth after use. 

Besides pressure cook and air frying, there are other functions such as steam, slow cook, sear/ saute, bake/ roast, grill, and keep warm. I also use it for stir-frying dishes with the 5 adjustable heat levels. Overall, Ninja Foodi is a good all-in-one product, just like a portable kitchen with a rice cooker, pressure cooker, air fryer, oven and stovetop functions, reasonable price, and highly versatile.

Braised Oxtail & Carrot in Chu Hou Paste 柱侯酱焖红萝卜牛尾

Photo updated 5 January 2015, Added some carrots and potatoes, garnished with chinese coriander. I forgot to add star anise today, still taste good :)

Added some carrots, garnished with spring onion

Tender and delicious! 

I seldom cook beef at home because I do not like to touch beef. It's the smell that I don't like....but, I found a way that I do not need to touch the beef. :) Get the FROZEN one! lol...

I bought a packet of frozen oxtail that I planned to cook sup buntut (aka indonesian style oxtail soup) but I'm not in the mood of cooking something complicated today. So I changed my mind and cook this simple yet very time consuming braised oxtail in chu hou paste. Trust me, the oxtail tastes superb with Chu Hou paste. 

I normally use slow cooker to braise meat but I find it very oily sometimes. For cooking oxtail, I'd prefer to use a pot which is easier to remove oil on the surface. You could hardly see OIL floating in my pot of braised oxtail. :P
