NASI GORENG RECYCLE, PURI, CARROT CAKE - <img src="http://www.filehive.com/files/081103/tag8.PNG"

Remember in yesterday's entry, I said my mini bun was a disappointment? Well, here's the latest report. Yesterday I thought of just letting the dough take it's own sweet time to rise. And indeed..do I let it 'take it's own sweet time'! I totally forgot about the dough and went to sleep! Hahahaha! Alhamdulillah it didn't over-bloat which proved that something was actually not right about the dough. But I just baked it in the oven and wallah, it wasn't pretty bad. It's soft and spongy! Hey, it wasn't a failure after all!

For breakfast...I wanted to fry some rice, but ran out of chillie paste. Then I remembered the leftover sambal ikan bilis. That gave me an idea...Wallah....here's my...

NASI GORENG RECYCLE

Ingredients :

Rice
Left over sambal
Eggs ~ lightly beaten
Green peas or mixed vegetable
Salt ~ if necessary
Cooking oil

Method :
1. Heat oil and add in egg. Fry like you're making scrambled eggs.
2. When the eggs are 3/4 cooked, add in the left over sambal and stir well.
3. Add in the green peas or mixed vegetables.
4. Add salt if necessary.
5. Finally put in the rice and mix well.

For lunch, I just cooked sardine and Fried Kailan...

Then comes dinner. Nobody wanted rice for dinner, so I had to go for other options. Flipped through my thick print-outs and decided to try out the PURI recipe. This recipe was posted in the Forum Cari by Tillingtan. Thank you very much Tillingtan for this nice recipe....We had the Puri with the left over sardine...

PURI

Ingredients :

200 g flour
30 g margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
60 ml lukewarm water
70 ml lukewarm fresh milk
oil for frying

Method :
1. Rub flour, margarine and salt.
2. Pour in water and milk, little at a time.
3. Knead till a soft dough is formed, about 10 - 12 minutes.
4. Rub a bit of oil on the dough surface and cover with a clean towel. Leave to rest for 30 minutes.
5. Knead again and make into small balls of 15 to 20 grams each.
6. Roll flat and fry in medium heat till golden brown. The puri would puff up.
7. Remove from oil and place on a kitchen towel.

Note :
1. I used extra liquid in the dough.
2. This recipe yields 15 Puri.

1. amy>>I've seen you buns amy and they look so delicious. And the way you've packed it, nampak macam delivery from the bakery! Well done to you and thanks to the real owner of the recipe. Sedap kan dapat makan bun buatan sendiri?
2. muni>>Bread softener ni, bentuknya macam shortening. Fungsinya untuk roti tahan lebih lama. Manakala bread improver pula dalam bentuk powder dan tujuannya untuk mempercepatkan prosess doh tu naik. Kalau tak masukkan kedua-dua bahan ni pun tak mengapa, especially bread softener tu. Haa...sekarang muni dah tak ada reason not to try and bake your own buns ok

! Pantun mama pulak : Jangan takut bertanya soalan, kalau tak nanti akan sesat jalan...
3. EDORAS>>Hehehe...janganlah macam tu sekali!

4. nic>>It takes lots of practise and patience okay. Mama dah buat banyak kali, barulah menjadi, kenkadang tak jadi pun ada! Nic buat choc chips guna resipi mana? Sedap?
5. ~F&Z~>>Kita kecik-kecik tak makan sadin sebab mak tak makan sadin. Abah kalau nak makan, kena masak sendiri..and since I ni memang adventurous punya type, semua nak rasa, so bila abah masak je la baru dapat rasa. Sardine memang sentiasa ada kat rumah...lauk emergency
