Simple and delicious broccoli rice

 


                     

White rice can quickly become a more complex and distinctive part of any meal with a little amount of extra effort by adding various seasonings, experimenting with cooking liquids, and attempting other methods of flavouring.

Some like to add butter and salt, which can help make the rice fluffier and richer. Some add pandan leaves to the rice's cooking liquid to make it much more fragrant. Some like to substitute water with chicken broth to cook the rice. Some add meat to rice just like Chinese sausage fried rice.

Today I would like to share with you how to make this delicious broccoli rice. My family and I frequently consume broccoli as a vegetable. Broccoli is a vegetable high in nutrients and protein. It has a delicate texture, is sweet and delectable, and is simple to digest. Eating for kids can boost immunity, support kids' growth, and development, and be very good for maintaining healthy bone growth, protecting eyesight, and enhancing memory.

Despite how nutritious broccoli is, kids just don't like to eat it! Do not panic; this broccoli rice is a tasty and easy way to reward children who do not eat veggies.

These broccoli rice balls are not only easy but also aesthetically pleasing and delicious. When combined with rice, it not only makes the stomach feel fuller but also adds extra nourishment that is very good for our health.


Once all the ingredients are prepared, simply combine them with the cooked rice which can then be eaten immediately. If you want to make it in a fancy way to catch the younger people’s heart. Rice can be moulded anyway you choose. I served my rice in a rectangular shape with chicken floss or black sesame as a garnish.

Ondeh-Ondeh in 3 flavour (椰丝球)

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh...

Half a year has flown by in the blink of an eye, and it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival. It is fall in October this year. I've tried quite a few of jelly mooncakes last year. So, this year I am going to share some of jelly mooncakes that I love. Making jelly mooncakes isn't difficult, and I'm always eagerly anticipating the finished product, because there are always so many surprises when I cut into it.

Today I am going to transform it into a mooncake.   Other than the beautiful moss from cooking and stirring the mixture. The white layer part that looks like shredded coconut which is actually made from the mixture of agar powder, fresh coconut water and coconut milk. Grate it after it is set...

Braised Pork Belly Char Siu on Stove

  Grilling char Siu is time-consuming? Yes, indeed!! The marinating and cooking steps involved in grilling char Siu might take a lot of time.   In order to allow the flavors to seep into the meat, the traditional process involves marinating the pork for a few hours, often overnight.   Additionally, grilling might take some time, particularly if you want that distinctive char. And also create a crispy surface and smoky flavor. You might say can make char siu, or Chinese BBQ pork with oven baking, or air frying. Oven baking produces an excellent crust and a balance of juiciness. Air fryer is the quickest way to produce a crispy outside and a soft within, although it might not cook as uniformly as oven baking. Today I am sharing a super easy stove top version. You even get a lovely sauce to go with it, and the results are just incredible. It lacks charred or roasted flavor of charcoal because it is cooked entirely on the hob.   Trust me, this method is definitely ...
