TOM YAM POKTEK - SEAFOOD

Untuk mendapatkan tomyam yang sedap mesti kena cukup bahanya dan yang pasti tomyam pes yang authenic. Saya memang meminati tomyam lebih-lebih lagi kalau tom yam seafood...wah meriah dengan macam-macam bahan seafood seperti ketam, udang, sotong, lala...kalau ada isi ikan juga menjadikanya menarik. Tomyam poktek berbeza dengan tomyam lain keran tomyam poktek dimasukkan sedikit santan atau pun susu cair...memang awesome resipi ini sesuai buat sajian tengah hari mahupun malam.

CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO TORTE

Resipi Martha Stewart selalunya tidak mengecewakan. Kalau terasa hendak sesuatu bercokolat dan hendakkan dalam kuantiti yang kecil torte ini memang sesuai. Kek yang rendah dan padat dengan cokolat dan pistaccio..Boleh digantikan pistaccio dengan kekacang lain seperti badan, hazel nut, walnut mahupun peca. Cokolat ganache menambahkan kenakkan torte ini.

Ingredients

FOR THE CAKE

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for pan

1 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

8 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

1 1/4 cups sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk

3/4 cup shelled, unsalted pistachios, coarsely chopped

FOR THE CHOCOLATE GANACHE AND TOPPING

1/2 cup heavy cream

4 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup shelled unsalted pistachios, coarsely chopped

DIRECTIONS

Make cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour an 8-inch round cake pan; line bottom with parchment or waxed paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.

In a large heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water, melt butter and chocolate, stirring frequently, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove bowl from pan. Whisk in sugar and vanilla, then eggs, buttermilk, and pistachios. Fold in flour mixture just until combined.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 60 to 70 minutes. Let cool in pan 5 minutes; run a knife around edge, and invert onto a wire rack. Remove paper, and let cool completely, about 3 hours. (To store, wrap in plastic, and keep at room temperature, up to 3 days).

Make ganache: In a small saucepan, bring cream to a simmer; remove from heat. Add chocolate, and let stand 5 minutes; whisk until smooth. Let cool until mixture falls back in ribbons when lifted with a spoon, 2 to 6 minutes.

Set cake on a serving platter; tuck strips of parchment paper under edge of cake to prevent ganache from dripping on platter. Pour ganache onto center of cake; using a table knife, spread evenly over the top and down the sides. Let set, about 30 minutes. Remove paper from under cake; sprinkle top with pistachios.

BUTTERMILK PANCAKE

Resipi breakfast Om Putih..lama tak buat biasanya kalau breakfast anak-anak kureng sedikit bab manis-manis. Tetapi tekak dah nak makan saya buat sedikit. Simple pancake menu saya ambil dari dapur Martha Stewart. Resipi asal bakar pakai oven...saya buat cara biasa aje...guna kuali tanpa lekat. Hidang bersama maple sirap dan buah-buahan berries memang menarik dan menyelerakan

Print

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons sugar

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

3 cups buttermilk

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1/2 teaspoon for griddle

1 cup fresh blueberries (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Heat griddle to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Add eggs, buttermilk, and 4 tablespoons butter; whisk to combine. Batter should have small to medium lumps.

Heat oven to 175 degrees. Test griddle by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If water bounces and spatters off griddle, it is hot enough. Using a pastry brush, brush remaining 1/2 teaspoon of butter or reserved bacon fat onto griddle. Wipe off excess.

Using a 4-ounce ladle, about 1/2 cup, pour pancake batter, in pools 2 inches away from one other. Scatter with berries, if using. When pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around edges, about 2 1/2 minutes, flip over. Cook until golden on bottom, about 1 minute.

Repeat with remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes on a heatproof plate in oven. Serve warm.
