Oreo Cookies ~ 奥利奥曲奇

Here I am taking or rather using a very popular cookie to put inside a cookie.  Believe me, this cookie was a crowd pleaser amongst kids at a recent small gathering.  This cookie is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside and ready to tuck in after about 10 mins. baking time but of course needs a bit of patience to wait a little while longer for the cookie to cool further.  Can give this a try for the coming Chinese New Year which falls on 10th February 2024!




Oreo Cookies ~  奥利奥曲奇                                       

Ingredients

  • 115 gm vegetable oil OR melted butter (I used oil)
  • 80 gm caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 185 gm plain flour
  • 1/2 teasp baking soda
  • 1/4 teasp salt
  • 9 Oreo cookies, with cream, crushed (110 gm)
  • 1/4 teasp vanilla
Method
  1. Sift flour with baking soda, salt, set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, with a hand whisk, beat oil and caster sugar till creamy.
  3. Break in an egg, beat till well incorporated.
  4. Fold in sifted flour, mix well with a spatula.
  5. Mix in the crushed Oreos thoroughly.
  6. Cover the mixing bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate for 30 mins.
  7. Remove from the fridge, use an ice-cream scoop to scoop up some dough, roll into a ball and place about 2.5 inch apart on a parchment lined baking tray.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for about 10 mins. when the edges are slightly brown if you want the cookies to be slightly chewy.  If you want crunchy cookies, bake a bit longer, say about another 5 mins. or so.
  9. Yield :  12 cookies, depending on size of your cookies.
Here's wishing each and everyone, a very Peaceful, Healthy and Prosperous Chinese New Year!

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.

Airfried Shrimp Paste Chicken ~ 空气炸锅 虾酱鸡

Since I have recently acquired an Air Fryer I wanted to make use of it to try various recipes.  I like to use the Air Fryer as it makes clean-up very much easier and I don't have to deal with a greasy kitchen when deep frying in a pot of oil or even panfry.  Also it's more healthy as only a little oil is used and the chicken is not submerged in oil.  The crust of the Airfried Shrimp Paste Chicken is crackly and tasty and the meat is juicy too.  I kept them in the Air Fryer for about half an hour before serving and the crust was still crispy.
