Ice Cream Jelly

Ice Cream Jelly

Ice Cream jelly, everyone loves it.  Don't you?  

I made it today because I am so bored in my own house.  

Like a prisoner in her own home.  Yesterday, my husband and son

went back to my husband's home town in Tanjung Malim, Perak to

visit his mother before he flies off overseas next week.  Both of them will be back today.

It is a good idea because my son has sinus and this haze is getting to him uncomfortably.

The yearly haze is back since last few days ago and Kuala Lumpur

is experiencing it badly.  The worst is the southern part especially Johor and Malacca, 

heard that schools have been closed temporarily because the API (Air Pollutant Index) 

is way above 400.  Eventhough, my house windows and doors are closed

at all times, we still can smell it.  Our house air-conditions are switch on 

24 hours.  If we don't do it, we will be suffocated.  By the end month, our 

electricity will be like a bomb.  What to do, health is more important.

Lastly, my daughter has received email notification that she has succeeded 

to join the Moot.  Hooray to my dear daughter.  Can't wait to tell

my husband and son.  At least, both of us has this Ice Cream Jelly

for celebration.   :)

Two boxes of 90g Jelly Crystal (any flavour that you like)

Follow the instructions at the back of the boxes.

I followed exactly the instructions and found that the jelly is a bit soft.

But overall it is edible.

Next try will reduce 50 ml of water for each box.

Pour the Jelly Crystal into the water and boil until all dissolved.

Once you notice the water boil, switch off the fire.

Transfer to mould and let it cool before putting into the fridge.

Place the mould in the fridge for 3 hours or until it is harden.

I put one scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream on top of the Jelly.  

Please click here of the Vanilla Ice Cream recipe.

That is why this recipe is called "Ice Cream Jelly".

Oh La La, delicious (that is our word) for it.

My daughter said it is the same with KFC Ice Cream Jelly which

we will order it whenever we are at KFC for their Fried Chicken.

Stri Fry Roast Pork (Siew Yoke) With French Beans And Five Spice Bean Curd

Stir Fry Roast Port (Siew Yoke) With 

French Beans And Five Spice Bean Curd

The above dish is just like one stone killing two birds....oooh I am not a birdie

killer, just a matter of expression, haha!  Well, my husband and son

like the Roast Pork (Siew Yoke), my daughter likes the French Beans and

lastly, I like the Five Spice Bean Curd.

This week will be the 2nd last week of June 2013.  Time flies so fast,

another one more week, we will be going into the 2nd half of the year.

Do you want it to be fast or slow? For me, I am not sure. Something for you to ponder.

Today, my daughter went to college to be interviewed for Moot Competition.

She succeeded for the 1st and 2nd round and now awaiting result.

Before she went to college, she backed out suddenly because 

she didn't revise all her notes.  I push her to go ahead and 

told her to not be like the type of plant that closes up its leaves when we touche it.  

Just like when we face difficulty, we back out.  

Told her to go ahead and do it. If fail, try again.  

My son did his Moot and now my daughter is trying Moot as well, 

so proud of them.  Just like this dish, delicious and satisfying.

345g French Bean (clean and drain)

547g Roast Pork (Siew Yoke)  

2 pieces of Five Spice Bean Curd (lightly wash and drain)

French Beans - Cut around 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches in length.

Five Spice Bean Curds - Cut into strip.

Roast Pork (Siew Yoke)

1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic.

Heat up the wok with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.

Stir fry the Five Spice Bean Curd until slightly brownish.

Do not over cooked it because the bean curd will be hard.

Dish out and keep at one side.

With the same wok, pour in 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and slightly brown the garlic.

Pour in the cut Roast Pork (Siew Yoke) and stir fry for a 2 minutes.

It is not necessary to cook it longer because the Roast Pork

(Siew Yoke) is already cooked.

Pour a few drop of Dark Soya Sauce and stir fry until well combined.

Do not pour in any salt or soya sauce because the Roast Pork

(Siew Yoke) is already salty.

Pour in the French Beans and stir fry further for 2 minutes and 

pour in some water if it is a bit dry.  

Stir until well combined.  

When the water is about to dry up, lastly, pour in the Five Spice Bean Curds

and stir until well combined.

Taste it, if the french beans and five spice bean curds are not that salty, 

by all means sprinkle some salt or soya sauce and stir until well combined and dish out.

Eat with your hot piping rice.  Enjoy

Thanks to Veronica from Quay Po Cooks for sharing this recipe.

Because of her, my family enjoyed this recipe and our stomach was happy

and satisfied.  Would like to take this opportunity to wish my

dear beloved husband a Very Happy Father's Day and to all the fathers out

there.   

Without you, the family won't be perfect.  Sometimes, my

husband is pain in the neck but overall he is a good husband and a 

good father to our two kids.  Well, life is not perfect, we just take it

as it goes by and lastly, we have to be strong for our family, 

good communication and love & respect one another.

F.A.M.I.L.Y.

(Father and Mother, I Love You)

12 pieces of cleaned chicken wings.

2 teaspoons minced garlic / 2 teaspoons minced ginger.

2 tablespoons honey / 2 tablespoons flour.

2 tablespoons corn flour / 2 beaten Eggs (next try will put either 1 or 1 1/2 eggs).

1 teaspoon chilli power (did not put).

Salt to taste / 2 tablespoons Soya Sauce.

In a container, pour in the chicken wings and mix in all the ingredients.

Mix well thoroughly and keep in the fridge for 4 hours.

Heat the cooking oil.

And fry those chicken wings. Please do not fry all at one go.

Fry it batch by batch.  

Once cooked, use kitchen towel to soak those oil as much as possible.

Serve at once with chilli or tomato sauce.

For us, the chicken wings were full of flavour, so without the chilli or

tomato sauce, the taste was still great.

You hands won't stop picking it up.. ;)

Enjoy!

Vanilla Ice Cream

Vanilla Ice Cream

Never known that ice cream is such an easy dessert to make eventhough

you don't have an ice cream maker.  I have been telling my daughter 

that I wanted to make this easy ice cream for the past weeks and yesterday

managed to make it at the right time of the day.  Non working day for me

and non college day for my daughter to enjoy this sumptuous ice cream

especially in this hot weather.  Found this recipe from

Everyday Food With Sarah Carey, Martha Stewart.

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (400 g)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 tablespoons bourbon* 

2 cups cold heavy cream (500 ml Thickened Cream)

(Note : Above black colour is the original recipe and

red colour is my modification to avoid wastage)

(*Note : Bourbon is to make the ice cream smooth)

Pour into a bowl the sweetened condensed milk with vanilla extract and bourbon.

Mix well and leave at one side.

Pour the cold thickened cream into a mixer bowl.

 

And mix until approximately 3 minutes.

or until stiff peaks form.

With a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the mixture of

sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract and bourbon.

 

Once you have folded in all the whipped cream into the mixture.

Pour into a prepared loaf pan or any other container that you have.

 

Freeze until firm, around 6 hours (mine 8 hours).

When I scooped it out, it was so soft.

Note : I found it is a bit sweet with condensed milk and I still

can taste the bourbon. Next try, I will reduce the condensed milk

to 350 g and bourbon to 1 1/2 tablespoons.

But the softness and texture were great.

I sprinkled with chocolate rice.  Less than one day, one loaf pan

of ice cream is gone!  I think the other loaf pan will be gone by tomorrow afternoon.

I showed the picture to my colleague and told them that from the bottom of

my heart, I wanted to share with them but with 40 minutes of driving

to work, I believe it will melt by the time I reach office.
