Steamed Chinese Egg Cake

It has been a while i do not make a blog post after my arrival in Sydney since 30th of March. Mum, Dad, Sister came to Sydney for holiday. I can't remember how much Fun Time we have spent together, countless!!

Counting from that day, it has been 1 month i didn't fill up my blog. 

Firstly, i was busy spending quality time with fams : ) Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner, all together, Nevertheless, Unlimited chit-chat; Snapping photoes with my new camera (Mr.S gave me surprise when i first stepped in my house in Sydney, the lovely camera was arranged beautifully on my desk, SURPRISE!!!)  

Second, I have been graduated on 8th Of April at NIDA theatre with my lovely friends! Since that day, i have been countlessly searching and applying office job online, desperately hoping for a call, but zero in result : ( 

at least, i have tried my best!! (i haven't give up and still continue to search for treasure) P.S: if it continues, i will do whatever job to fill up my "spare" time and bank account :p

Kitchen Adventure continues though, i have found a new blog on site today. The Steamed Egg Cake at Cooking Crave caught my attention. I know it is yummy and very easy to make,so why not?

simple ingredients required in this process, all adapted from Cooking Crave

Ingredients:

5 Eggs

200 g Sugar

100ml Vegetable Oil

130ml Milk

280 g CakeFlour

4 tbsp Custard Powder (I skipped)

2 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 tsp Baking Soda

1/4 tsp Salt

Method:

Using an electric mixer, generously beat the egg and sugar until very fluffy, and the colour turns pale.

Sieve the flour; baking powder and baking soda, fold it in the egg mixture, combine well.

Add in salt; vegetable oil and milk, combine well.

Line a baking paper on a pan.

Pour the batter in.

Steam on high heat for 30 minutes.

Check with skewer, if it comes out nicely without any cake traces, then you're done.

Happy Cooking!

Imperfect Piggy Peanut Bun

I have always thought of making some Piggy Bun one day
And i did it yesterday : )
Although my Piggy bun was a bit un-shaped, hahahaha... (i'll show you the picture later)
But it was a fun experience!!
I managed to make 5 Piggy Bun : )
I whipped up the rest dough to normal Steamed Peanut Bun

Filling

Peanut Butter

Crushed Almond

Roasted Black Sesame Seed

Vanilla Essence

Sugar

Imperfect Piggy Bun 

Mr.Piggy looks a bit swollen especially their nose and ear, i think it was because the dough kept raising during steaming process. Never been so happy to make a fail Bun, hahahaha : ) I thought it was cute!!

280 gr Low Protein Flour 

100 gr Wheat Starch 

1 tsp Dried Instant Yeast 

1 tsp Baking Powder 

30 gr Vegetable Oil

120 gr Sugar

170 ml Luke Warm Water

Red Colouring

Raisins for Piggy eyes

Mix all of the ingredients together

Knead the Dough until very smooth - it takes around 15-20 minutes kneading time 

Be prepared to have a sore hands!!! :p

Cover the Dough with damp cloth / any pan lid

Rest the Dough to keep them raising

You will see a double size dough 15 minutes later

Divide the Dough into small pieces and start to shape the Bun

Rest the dough for another 15 minutes

Steam for 20 minutes with high heat

If you want to make a Piggy Bun, you can refer to this blog

I am not an expert yet to tell you how to shape Piggy Bun

Picture is worth a thousand words!!! hahahaha...

I thought the filling was not superb enough!! i might have to use other filling next time!! 

Piggy is wailing their tails and say Good Bye!!

Happy Cooking!!!
