Birthday present update
Haven't been able to blog much because we've moved temporarily to a place with limited internet but anyway the bf got me bench scrapers for my birthday!
The ones on the left, top and right are one set that slide in together, from brand Chef'n. It was about 12 dollars. The right one has markings on it too! They're really useful when making bread and now my dough gets cut in slightly more reliably consistent chunks!
The bottom one is a cheap one dollar cutter that he got off eBay for funsies. It feels really floppy and I haven't made anything with it, lol.
I also got a silicone mat for $2 from Aldi, but since bread is usually baked at 220 deg C and the mat tolerates up to 220 deg C but ovens vary quite a bit around your desired temperature! I'm not sure whether to use it in the oven. If anyone has tips, please share on whether you use them for bread! I've seen these mats used for cookies and cakes in cooking videos.
Instead of using cling wrap to cover the dough when rising, i've been using wax cloth that another friend bought me for my birthday! I find it a bit annoying to wash, so now I just throw my silicone mat on top of the bowl.
Not an indicated use for the mat, but it's non stick and you'll use it later for rolling out dough anyway so it's brilliant!
Anyway sorry for the hiatus, here's the only thing I have to offer for my latest cooking adventure:
Muah Chee
Not exactly baking but it is a delicious childhood treat from South East Asia. The recipe I used is from a website called the MeatMen (themeatmen.sg) which does Singaporean dishes. They do lots of non meat dishes too!
This dessert/snack is basically chewy glutinous rice flour mochi-like lumps rolled in ground peanut and sugar. Some people add in white sesame seeds or they roll them in black sesame seeds, but I love peanut.
You need:
135 g glutinous rice flour
2 tablespoons tapioca flour
200ml room temperature water
2 tablespoons oil (we used rice bran)
Mix all that together until combined and microwave at 900W for 2 minutes. We didn't cover it and it was fine.
Stir it together to mix. If you have a rubber spatula, that's your ideal weapon of choice.
Microwave for another minute and you're done.
Now combine 100g ground peanuts and 90g white sugar. We couldn't find ground peanuts anywhere so we bought raw peanuts, toasted it in an oven until we could smell peanuts, and then crushed them by hand in a mortar and pestle. Apparently if you use any sort of blender or food processor you'll end up with peanut butter, which you don't want in this case. It's hard work, but it's delicious.
Anyway here's the fun part. Put the peanuts and sugar in a big plate and mix well. Chuck the entire dough mass into the peanuts. Roll it around and use kitchen scissors to snip it to pieces! Use tongs to hold it up and try to snip nice little 2 cm sized pieces, but really the smaller the better because the more surface area you have the more peanut mix you pick up. And that's it!
In South East Asia they then put it in a box or a plate and you eat it with toothpicks. It's also usually sold for like, 1-2 dollars for a box (it was 50 cents when I was a kid!) but if you live in a western country you're not gonna ever see it sold outside, so go forth and have a taste of Asia at home.
