Tasty Vegetable Pancake
美味菜饼

-

Vegetables are some of the healthiest foods, but many children including my two don’t like them at all. As parents, we are getting more and more creative in preparing food.

In my family, other than dumplings, in which we can put all kinds of vegetables and still my children love them. Another alternative is Vegetable Pancake. Unlike dumplings, vegetable pancake is easy to prepare, and yet mouth-watering. I usually whip up this healthy tasty pancake within half an hour. Sounds attractive?


 


VEGETABLE PANCAKE
(makes 5-6 servings)
Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups water
Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon 5-spices powder 五香粉
- 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder 黄姜粉(optional)
Vegetables
- 1 medium carrot, coarsely grated
- 5 scallions (green tops cut into 3 inches,  sliced lengthwise)
- 3 large green cabbage leaves, thinly sliced 

DIRECTIONS
  1. Combine flour, baking powder, and seasonings in a large mixing bowl. Add in water and eggs and stir until lumps are gone.
  2. Stir in vegetables. Add more water, if necessary (the batter should be smooth and pourable). Set aside.
  3. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking oil. Pour a ladle of batter onto the skillet, and spread it out evenly into a circle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and bottom is browned. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.

Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) is still 20 days away, but Singapore is already getting ready for the Year of Horse. CNY decorations are all over the shopping malls, very pretty and impressive. As a home baker, it's time for me to bake CNY cookies . As usual, pineapple tarts are the top in my baking list. This year, I decided to try a different recipe.  Actually, I saw this recipe from Sonia's blog ( Nasi Lemak Lover ) last year. She said it's the "Best Melt-in-the-Mouth" pineapple tart recipe. As I have already finished baking  pineapple tarts  with my own recipe then, so did not have the chance to try.  A few days ago, Zoe from Bake For Happy Kids  shared her experience of baking pineapple tarts with 3 popular recipes. One of them is Sonia's.  Zoe provided a comparison table with ingredients and method used in each recipe, and concluded that Sonia's recipe yields the best melt-in-the-mouth pineapple tarts.  Though I have never doubt "baki

Knowing that I bake muffins, a friend recommended me to try the muffins from Chocolat N' Spice at Shunfu market.  He said Shunfu market - a neighbourhood hawker center,  is famous because of the muffin store.  The snake queue in front of  the muffin store has become an unique scenery of this quiet hawker center. People queueing for muffins? Out of curiosity, I dropped by the store one day during lunch time. Over the one hour stay at the hawer center, I observed an average of 8-9 people in the queue. It has never shortened until all the muffins were sold out.  I bought one box of 6 muffins of different flavours,  priced from $1.30 to $1.60 each.  I chose Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate, Banana Walnut,  Blueberry, Mocha and Cheese . These freshly baked muffins are large, soft with golden domed top, so enticing. Shared with colleagues, everyone was asking me when I would make the next the trip down. Each of them would like to order one box!  The following week, I brought 6 boxes of

Air-Fried Buttermilk Chicken

My taste buds are fond of fried foods.  The pleasure of eating deep-fried food is irresistible to me. I like the tender interior and crisp exterior, which remains crisp even as the food soaks up the tangy sauce. However, for my family's health, I seldom deep fry food at home. I usually replace deep frying with baking, e.g, baked potato sticks , chicken wings and pork ribs .  Baked food tastes good, but sometimes, deep-fried food still tastes better. To satisfy our craving for deep-fried food,  we bought a Philips Airfryer recently. Now I can air fry! We have air-fried some "forbidden" snacks at home, and this buttermilk fried chicken is one of the top recipes we have tried so far.
