Episode 7 - Easter Rainbow Egg Cupcake | 彩虹蛋杯子蛋糕

I've never celebrate Easter in my life but over the years i've seen people posting colorful eggs and gorgeous looking sweet treats on Easter.

This year, i've decided to join the fun and we're going on an Easter egg hunt .
Guess where's the egg hidden? Yes, in the cupcake itself.

Watch how i made them here:

The instructions can be downloaded here:



The method that I'm using to make the cake paste is inspired by Ann .
You can find her hidden mickey cupcake recipe here .

I hope you enjoy this tutorial as i've had a lot fun making those rainbow eggs.
They are really not as hard as it may seems to be. You can make smaller eggs if you want and you can make up to 9 cupcakes.

Last but not least, wishing you a very happy Easter!

Episode 4 - Peanuts & Mushrooms Congee | 花生香菇粥

Helloooo ~

How have you been?! Gone for two weeks to prepare for my exams and the exams are finally over and so I'm back! :))

Here's the good news about this recipe :
1. It's VEGAN
2. It's another ONE POT recipe
3. It's QUICK and EASY

You know how much patience it takes to make smooth velvety porridge because the rice takes FOREVER to break down. I've been trying to find ways to shorten the process and a few years back i came across this trick while watching some cooking show on TV. Ever since then,I've been using this method whenever i cook porridge.

Find out the trick on how i make this porridge in less than 30 minutes :

As usual, the English and Chinese recipes can be downloaded here:



Just in case you're curious, this is the mushroom seasoning that i use in my recipe:

You can purchase it from vegetarian food suppliers or vegetarian food stores.
The ones that were sold in NTUC are made in Malaysia (more bland) and those above are from Taiwan.
Mushroom seasoning is often used in Asian vegetarian cooking as it's way better than MSG and it has lower sodium content than salt. Most importantly, it does magic to the food that you're making. (just kidding, but it's true - it really does make your food taste better. Sometimes i even use them when i make western dishes =X)

That's all for today, I hope you have a great week ahead!

Smiles,
