Cartoon ABC Soup 卡通营养菜汤

Others,

I believe most of you already know how to cook this ABC soup, it is very simple the ingredients you need is
1 carrot
1 potato
1 tomato
some ikan bilis
put 2 bowls of water and cook until all the ingredient soft, no other seasoning needed and the soup is ready to serve.
Instead of normal ABC soup I use tomica vegie mould and hello kitty vegie mould to have different kind of shape for carrot and potato.  Children will love it so much and will eat more.  Beside cutting vegetable, the mould can also use for bread, cheese,ham, fruits,cookies etc.  With your creativity, I believe you will come out with more ideas with the mould.

Remember don’t throw away those residue of potato or carrot, you can either put into your soup and cook together and chop it into small pieces and use it for fry rice.

Below is the step by step picture guide of using the mould

Then I have used animal world food cup to put the coco crunch. Besides, there are some cherry tomatoes, jelly and lettuce.  I have used the monkey sauce container to store the salad dressing and used the ocean world picks on the tomatoes for decoration and easy to eat. The monkey sauce container 1 set got 2, if you look clearly you will found 1 is male monkey and the other is female and it comes with the spoon with the shaped of banana.  It is very cute. 

The Hello Kitty Big Size Cookie Cutters or Sandwich Cutter can also be use to make a 3D Hello Kitty cookies, below is the translated recipe behind of the package. It is also the same for the Pooh Big size cookies cutters

Japanese Curry 日式咖哩

Bento,

Japanese curry is not only delicious, it is also very easy to prepare, therefore it is very suitable for a lazy people like me.  To make the dish more adorable, I have use kitty mould to make the rice into kitty shaped and use green peas and corn as eyes and nose.  To have the rice stick together, make sure your rice is still hot, otherwise you won’t get a nice kitty shaped.  Haha, looks like my hello kitty does not looks like hello kitty at all, well I am too hungry so just quickly make and shot.  I believe you can make it better than me.  You can also try out other mould to have other shape of rice too.

 

Here is the recipe, you can also get this recipe from when you buy the Japanese curry cube, it is just behind the box. The Japanese curry is not like Indian or malay curry, it is not spicy at all even you have choose the hot one.  If you are afraid it is spicy, you can choose mild hot, I am afraid my 2 and half year daughter will feel spicy so I bought mild hot, surprisingly, she not feel spicy at all and she love it very much. The recipe I have adjusted it to 4 servings.

 

Ingredients

half box house java curry sauce mix

meat (beef/pork/chicken)250g,2 medium onions(400g), 2 medium potatoes(300g),1 medium carrot (200g)

Method

1.       cut meat or chicken onions, potatoes and carrot into bite size. Saute in saucepan until lightly browned. Add 3 cups of water(1300ml) and bring to boil.  Cook over low to medium heat about 20 mins or until tender.

2.       Remove from heat.  Break curry sauce mix into pieces and add to saucepan.

3.       cook over low heat about 20 mins, or until curry thickens.  Serve over cooked rice or pastas.

DIY Ice-cream Maker with recipe

Products Intro/Reviews, Uncategorized

Finally the DIY ice-cream maker is here, my daughter is very excited when seeing the ice-cream maker because outside the box got the picture of ice-cream, so I thought she thought there is ice-cream inside therefore want me to open the box.  I look thru the step by step picture and the ingredients, it is so simple and with the ingredients in your fridge you can make ice-cream any time you want.  Here is the recipe

 

Ingredient A

Approx. 18 square ice-cube

300ml ice water

120g salt (use the cheapest one)

 

Ingredient B

1 egg yolk

20g fine sugar

100ml full cream milk (can change to strawberry/chocolate/coffee etc flavour) （I am using the chocolate milk）

50ml whipping cream

 

Step 1 put all the ingredient A into the place shown in the picture.

Step 2 mix well ingredient B and pour into the center of the ice-cream maker as shown as picture

Step 3 put in the stir bar and cover it with lid. Turn the moving handle on top of the ice-cream maker in the clockwise position for about 6-10mins.

Step4 when the mixer become cream, change the stir bar to another equipment.

Step 5 at the center of the ice-cream mixer, there is a picture of heart, you can turn it to right or to left to have different shaped of ice-cream comes out.

Step 6 turn the moving handle clockwise again, be sure you have put a cup or ice-cream cup at the bottom of ice-cream maker. You will see your ice-cream start to comes up nicely.  You need to turn it fast to have nice shaped.

 

Important tips

1.       Please do not use low fat milk, you won’t success using low fat milk

2.       The whole process, you need to do it fast because if the temperature has increase you won’t get the ice-cream. So make sure you have prepare all the things first.

3.       You can put the center container of the ice-cream maker in the fridge for 1 night to make is more cold.(This step is optional)

4.       For whipping cream, I am using dairy whipping cream, if use non-dairy whipping cream it will become cream more faster but you might need to reduce the sugar.

 

I really enjoy using this ice-cream maker because it is really fun to use, you can even involve your kids in the process.  Besides, it does not contain any preservatives, it is more healthy and you can make your own ice-cream any time any flavour you like.  You can also put in fruits, cotton candy, chocolate, syrup etc on top of the ice-cream.

 

这个雪糕机到货不是很久，但是我已经爱上了她，因为他容易使用，对我们喜欢雪糕的朋友来说可以说是必备的物品，它不只是做法容易，材料简单。最重要的是只要平时冰箱里都有这些材料，随时都可以做。而且没有防腐剂哦！

1.一般制冰盒冰块*18个左右+冰水300ml.+盐120g(最便宜的)放入凹槽

2.在搅拌杯子里放入搅拌好的霜淇淋材料:

   蛋黄*1+细砂糖*20g+冰全脂牛奶100ml.+鲜奶油50ml (我用的是巧克力牛奶)

(牛奶可以换成巧克力/草莓/咖啡/抹茶牛奶等口味哦,糖就斟酌)

3.把搅拌桨放入,装好摇杆,盖上盖子,给他开心转转转(大概6~10分钟)

4.会感觉液体渐渐变成cream状到喜欢程度时,换掉上零件,就ok啦!

可以另外准备超市都有卖的,巧克力或焦糖浆那些淋上去,或是棉花糖/水果/饼干脆片就ok啦!

 

叮嘱：

1．  确记，一定要用全脂牛奶，用低脂牛奶的话会失败，因为我们都不像日本的牛奶那样香浓

2．  操作过程要迅速,如果温度一升高,就会容易失败,我都事先把材料用好,一切都非常迅速,不可以慢吞吞

3．  你可以把中间装料的那个盆子,先在冷冻放一天

4．  鲜奶油可以用动物性或是植物性的。当然植物性比较容易打发,只是就要减糖

Seaweed Puncher

Products Intro/Reviews

Recently I found some people having problem with the seaweed puncher.  Actually there are 2 types of seaweed puncher, one type is the whole puncher is plastic like, another type the puncher part is metal.
The plastic like puncher will be a bit harder to punch the seaweed as the weather in Malaysia is hot and humid and the seaweed will get soft quickly.  For the metal seaweed puncher will be a lot more easier to use but the price is higher. 

There is a tips for those who are buying the plastic like puncher.  Before you punch the seaweed, you can always grilled the seaweed on pan or put in oven and bake till crispy, it will become more easy to punch and it is crispy.

When cleaning the puncher you can always use a cotton bud and apply a little bit of oil to clean out the seaweed residue in the puncher.  For the metal puncher, after you wash using water, you might want to dry it before storage.

Seaweed puncher is very easy to use and fun to decorate your bento box, especially the sparkling eye seaweed puncher and cute expression seaweed puncher will cheers up your love one

Below showing is one of the plastic like seaweed puncher
