Refreshing Sweet Potatoes Dessert

Having a bowl of refreshing sweet potatoes dessert on a lazy raining Sunday is heaven!  I would usually cook dessert during weekends when every member of my family is at home and we have time to enjoy it at our own sweet time instead of in a rush rush.

Ingredients :

- 4 medium sized sweet potatoes (peeled, cut and soaked in water so as to prevent it from turning dark, drained)

- 2 thumb sized ginger (crushed)

- 1 bunch of pandan leaves/screw pine leaves (washed, knotted)

- honeycomb sugar (to taste)

- enough water

Method :

1)  Fill water in a pot and add sweet potatoes and ginger.

2)  Bring to boil and let it simmer until the sweet potatoes is semi-cooked.

3)  Add pandan leaves and honeycomb sugar and continue to simmer until the potatoes are soft.

4)  Serve hot.

A very refreshing dessert.  Reduce the ginger is you are not a ginger lover.  As for me, I LOVE ginger and I like to add extra into the dessert.

Alternatively, you can also cook Barley with Sweet Potatoes (<-- click here for the recipe) too and it's also very refreshing.

Sweet Fragrant Wheat (Gandum) Porridge

Are you having the same breakfast beverages such as Milo, milk, coffee, tea, etc over and over again?  Instead, why not prepare a healthy breakfast porridge for your family?  It's Wheat Porridge and it's simple and yummy.  In order to have a very sweet aroma of wheat porridge, you need to add lots of pandan leaves (screwpine leaves).  Adding pandan leaves into your wheat porridge is a MUST.  Without it, it's like eating nasi lemak without the sambal!

Ingredients : (depending on individual's preferences and to taste)

- 1 cup wheat (washed and soaked overnight)

- 100ml santan/coconut milk (I used ready packed)

- 2.5 litres water

- 1 bunch of pandan leaves (washed, slit the leaves in the centre and knotted)

- sugar (to taste)

- a dash of salt (to taste)

Method :

1)  Fill water in a pot and add drained wheat.

2)  Boil over high heat for 20 minutes. 

3) Then, lower the heat, add pandan leaves and slow boil for another 1 hour or until the wheat is cooked and expanded.  

3)  Should you need to add extra water in between, be advised to add only hot boiling water.

4)  Add sugar and simmer for a while.

5)  Lastly, add santan and keep stirring.  Season with a dash of salt.

6)  Serve hot.

Hope you enjoy this simple breakfast :)

Chinese Cabbage Egg Miso Soup (Meatless Recipe)

I like Chinese Cabbage, be it stir fried, braised or soup and will never get bored eating it everyday!  Chinese cabbage is very refreshing especially if you make it into soup.  For this recipe, it's a meatless soup and I omitted anchovies stock and meat.  Hence, I added miso into it.  It's very refreshing and I had it for lunch; just the soup only and without any rice or noodles.  You can add fish balls, prawns, meat or any ingredients that come to your mind.  

Ingredients :

- 1 small Chinese cabbage (washed and cut)

- 3 dried mushrooms (soaked and sliced)

- 1/2 carrot (shredded)

- 1/2 tbsp Chinese Wolfberries/goji berries (washed)

- 2 eggs (beaten)

- 1 thumbsized ginger (crushed)

- 3 cloves garlic (chopped)

- enough water for the soup

- 1 tbsp oil

Seasonings : (to taste)

- 1 tbsp miso

- a dash of salt

- soy sauce

- pepper

Method :

1)  Heat oil in a wok and saute ginger and garlic until aromatic.

2)  Add Chinese cabbage, mushrooms and carrots.  Stir and mix well.

3)  Add water.  Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.

4)  Pour in beaten egg.  Gently stir it.

5)  Lower the heat to medium low. Add miso and Chinese Wolfberries.  Stir and mix well.

6)  Season with salt, soy sauce and pepper.

7)  Serve hot.

Simple, healthy and refreshing soup for your family

Do enjoy :)
