Minced Meat Ball Porridge

Minced Meat Ball Porridge

This is a very smooth porridge. Lovely to eat during hot season or when you are recuperating from sickness.

Step 1

1 cup of rice - wash and drained and marinade the rice with salt and oil.

(By doing so, the porridge will come out smooth)

Stir in salt, pepper and corn flour into the minced meat.

(Note : Corn flour to make the minced meat stick to each other)

Thinly slice young ginger.

Step 2

Round the minced meat into balls.

Step 4

Boil the rice with water.

(I poured 3 big bowls of water. The size of the big bowl as per picture at Step 1)

Step 5

Once, the water is boiled, slightly open the lid cover. If not, the rice water will spill out.

Step 6

While boiling, make sure you stir the rice constantly to avoid the bottom being burnt.

If the porridge is too thick, pour hot water into it and stir.

Step 7

Pour the minced meat balls into the porridge and cook until done.

When you noticed the meat changed colour, then it is cooked.

Step 8

Stir for a while until all the whole minced meat balls are cooked well.

Or

Maybe you take out one minced meat ball to test it out.

Step 9

Once done, pour the slice young ginger and stir.

Step 10

Serve hot.

Or

When you want to eat later, remember, you can always heat it up and if the porridge is thick, you can always pour hot water and stir.

Chocolate Chips Cupcake

Chocolate Chips Cupcake

This morning, my daughter told me that she would like to eat Chocolate Chips Cupcake and not sure whether I am well enough to bake it because as at today (27 October 2009), I am in the 15 days after my cysts operation. Since, I am not in the excruciating pain, so I will be baking it. By the time I finished uploaded all these pictures, my son has eaten 6 pieces of the cupcakes.

Ha! Ha! I have warned my son not to finish those gorgeous cupcakes.

Need to keep for my lovely daughter....she has been studying hard for her year end 2009 exam.

Step 1

Heat up the oven and place 20 cupcake paper cases into the muffins tray.

To avoid messy while pouring the batter into the cupcake paper cases,

it will be a good idea to use the ice-cream scoop.

125 g butter (room temperature).

1 tsp vanilla essence.

2/3 cup caster sugar.

1/4 cup milk (room temperature).

Ingredients "B" :-

1/2 cup chocolate chips.

1/2 cup finely chopped dark chocolate.

******************************************

Beat all the ingredients "A" for 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 3

Add ingredients "B" and fold well.

After folding well, use the ice-cream scoop to scoop the batter into the cupcake paper cases.
