Waffle Crowned Strawberry Mousse Cake

Monday, March 30, 2009



Bright red, remarkably juicy and flavourful strawberries are truly a delight to both the eyes and the taste buds. When selecting fresh strawberries, look for firm, glossy, red fruit with a fresh-looking green hull and no visible bruises. Do not wash strawberries until ready to use.

Strawberry MousseStrawberry Coulis

  • 2 layer 8-inch Chiffon or sponge cake

  • 30 g Powdered sugar
  • 200 g Strawberries, rinsed and halved

Soy milk is made by soaking soybeans, grinding them with water, The fluid which results after straining and cooked is called soy milk. Soybeans contain rich protein, vitamins A, B1, B2, and other mineral elements.

After making tofu or soya milk, the solid residue which remain in the filter sack called okara (pronounced oh-KAR-uh) or soy pulp. Okara, low in fat, high in dietary fiber, along with protein, calcium, iron, and riboflavin, were recognized to be helpful in controlling diabetes, reducing blood sugar and cholesterol, adding in digestion and circulation, protecting the bones, and reducing cancer risk. If you make soyamilk by machine, the okara will be cooked during the process. Otherwise, I would suggest to steam or toast the raw okara for 20 minutes before using.

Steamed Chicken Breast in two Colours

Saturday, March 21, 2009




A very healthy dish made with ground skinless chicken breast, mixed with egg whites. To make the dish look more colourful and appetizing, I have separated some of the mixture with spinach to make a duo of steamed chicken.

  • 180 g Chicken breast
  • 2 Egg whites
  • ½ tsp Jiafan rice wine
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Ginger powder
  • 2 tbsp Frozen spinach puree, thawed
  • 1 tsp Garlic, minced
  • 1/3 tsp Ginger, chopped
  • ½ cup Chicken stock
  • ½ tbsp Cornstarch solution
  1. Rinse the chicken and grind in a food processor. Season it with rice wine, salt and ginger powder. Add in egg whites and stir vigorously until all ingredients are well-combined and the mixture is elastic.

  2. Divide the chicken mixture into 2 portions. Mix one portion with the spinach puree. Place them in a heat-proof rectangular container. Steam for 12 minutes over the high heat until cooked. Slice the chicken and arrange them in a serving plate.
  3. Heat up a skillet with oil. Add in chopped ginger and garlic, stirring until fragrant. Season with salt and thicken with the starchy solution. Pour over the chicken. If you wish, garnish the dish with shredded spring onion, carrot or tomato.
