Char Siew Bun 叉烧面包

Acar Nyonya Style

我家人都很喜欢这凉拌，但还是第一次自己做。

Y3K食谱很把每一个步骤详细的解说，只需要时间和耐心，让凉拌放置隔一两天会更好吃。

有些步骤因为太懒，简略了。

味道自己做些调整，直到适合自己的口味就好。

Chocolate Chip Cookies

喜欢chocolate chip cookies这食谱一定要试。
烘烤之后一天，这饼干更入味。
买不到咖啡油，只能用咖啡精替代。

说真的，加了咖啡味的cookies 自然少了一般香奶味的chocolate chips cookies, 这却多了像famous Amous口感的cookies。
这好不好吃，真的不需要太多的外在装饰，真的好吃。
如果豆类换上pecan 或 macadamia,一定更美味。

Chickey Cookies 鸡仔饼

我在多年前丢失了鸡仔饼食谱，怎么找都找不会同样的食谱。
是时间抹去了那多年前的味道，还是真的还是旧的美好。
这食谱，接近当年的味道。
虽然，还是少了当年的味道。

食谱参考

Ingredients：

(a)450 gms flour
1/2 tsp Black Pepper Powder 1 tsp Baking Powder （double Acting）
1/2 tsp soda bicarbohidrat

(b)
1 egg
100 gms Sugar
1 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
1 tbsp maltose * 2tbsp
1/2 tsp Chinese Five Spices (i changed to 1 tsp)2 pieces of Chinese fermented tofu (Nam Yu/南乳)* i changed to 3 pcs
1/2 tsp Salt * 1tsp

(c)
200 gms of winter melon candy *i changed to 300gm
100 gms of sesame （i use only white sesame)
3-4 Cloves of Garlic(around 15-20gm)

(d)
250 gms Vegetable oil


我和母亲讨论了许久，想想除了五香粉可能是最大可能导致味道不够味。
再来之前的食谱没加soda bicarbohidrat 似乎少了该有的酥脆口感，或许我的口味比较重，更改后的味道比较适合我家人咯。

*如果不够咸，要加重口味加盐较好，太多soy sauce会导致烘烤时容易烧焦。

1. Sift ingredient (a) put aside.
2. (b) mixed until well incorporated, add in (c).
3. mixed (2) + (d), added all sifted flour.
4. leave in fridge rest for half an hour.
5. use baking sheet make a thin layer, bake with 170c for 10-15 min.

Green Peas Cookies 绿豆饼

时常傻乎乎试了一些食谱才知道根本行不通。

绿豆饼食谱很多Blogger推荐极为简易的食谱，但出来的味道还是家家不一样。

买的绿豆粉，有些已经带有盐味，而有些则带甜， 而从中要学会如何在食谱更改些，原来还有很多小细节有待发现。真的很多要学习的地方。
