Tuna Mayo Puff Pastry



I'm a big fan of puff pastry but unfortunately it's not easy to get halal puff pastry in hawaii since they make them from lard. This homemade herb puff pastry is much better than store bought, well at least eliminates the guilty feeling when we eat them in a bakery... hihihihi..
U can buy or make from scratch and the recipe are all over the web so just find the best for u and fill with everything just come across in your mind.. :)
Here's i add Tuna Mayo idea that i got from baking class in Malang, East Java, Indonesia. Just simple mixture of simple ingredients...

Tuna Mayo Filling

1 can tuna
1 medium onion, chop cubes
mayonaise
black pepper
slice of cheddar cheese

Combine all the ingredients and wrap it up into the puff pastry.
Bake for 200C for 20 minutes then lower the temperature to 160C and continue bake for another 20 minutes or until golden edge result.

Papaya Leaves Sauted with Smoked Fish



In Indonesia we called Tumis Daun Pepaya Ikan Cakalang, but i used another fish that smoked bfore. I shreded the fish and sauted them with spices and put the papaya leaves in it. To reduce or even eliminated the "awful" taste from the papaya leaves, i use cassava leaves that cooked together with the papaya leaves. Need special treatment for using the papaya leaves that many places in Indonesia have their own ways.

many thanks to mpok Lina from Big Island that gave me this simple, easy, and delicious recipe, awesome!!... i just add the flour again.. and again.. until get the right consistency.. :)
this is the original one from Lina, and i think she ever mention that she got this recipe from AllRecipe website..
oya.. i think the amount of the flour depend on the ricotta itself. i forgot to drain my ricotta so it contain lots of liquid and i have to add more and more flour...

and for the sauce, i just pour the marinara sauce from Tyler Florence Food Network or Giada d Laurentis also from Food Network. actually u can any kind of sauce onto it.. all fit with gnocchi!!

Original Recipe Yield 5 servings

Ingredients
• Gnocchi:
• 1 (8 ounce) container ricotta cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed

• Sauce:
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 (15.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 dash crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 6 basil leaves, finely shredded
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small chunks

Directions
1. Stir together the ricotta cheese, eggs, Parmesan Cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl until evenly combined. Mix in 1 cup of flour. Add additional flour if needed to form a soft dough.
2. Divide the dough into 3 or 4 pieces, and roll into 1/2-inch-thick ropes on a floured surface. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces, and place on a lightly floured baking sheet. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
3. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in diced tomatoes and red pepper flakes; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in shredded basil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. While sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Boil the gnocchi until they float to the surface, 1 to 2 minutes, then drain.
5. To assemble the dish, stir the cubed mozzarella cheese into the sauce and allow the heat of the sauce to soften, but not melt the cheese. Place gnocchi into a serving bowl, and spoon sauce overtop.

500 gr sugar

5 eggs

1 tsp emulsifier ( 1 sdt peres)

1 sachet SKM

Combine all ingredients at once. Beat on low speed for 5 minutes.

Continue beating at medium speed for 10 minutes

Increase to high speed for about 5 minutes just to risen the mixture.

You can devide the mixture into couple bowl to colouring or add any taste. You can add with green tea powder, choc powder, moccha cream, choc cream, or just fool colouring.

While stiring the mixture, add coconut milk by batch.

Add the soda and stir slowly until all the ingredients mix evenly, and get the right consistency.

Let the mixture rest for about 30minutes, then steam.


How to steam:

Bring water to boil in a steamer.

Put all the cup (in Indonesia, we call it “cucing”) into the steamer just until hot.

Fill the cup with the batter until full (reach the edge of the cup).

Avocado Mousse Cake



1st trial making this cake for mom's bday present.. cihuuuuuyyyy...successfully!! got the recipe from the cookbook "Mousse Cake, Modern cake step by step". I add more white cooking choc coz my avocado not sweet enough and a hint of green food coloring to give and maintain the color of avcado :) For the topping i made choc mousse buttercream... everything's about mousse everybody! hahahahaha...

U can use any kind of choc cake.. either sacher torte, black forest, or sponge cake. This avocado mousse recipe fit for 20x20x4 square pan cake (1 layer). Usually i add another kind of mousse (i.e. choc mousse) for the other layer of cake, i mean ... 3 layer cake and using 2 kind of mousse, avocado and choc.

Avocado Mousse recipe:
200 gr avocado, mashed.
100 gr white cooking chocolate, melted
8 gr gelatin, soak in cold water and boil (i use 1 tsp gelatin powder)
200 gr heavy cream, whipped

Mix the avocado, white choc and gelatin.
Add whipped cream by batch into the avocado mixture whilist stir it until well blended.

i did different technique from the cookbook which is i boil the gelatin together when i melted the white choc. When the choc already melt, i add the gelatin and keep stirring so white choc and gelatin could mix evenly. Turn off heat and let it cool. Then i add avocado into it. And put avocado mixture into whipped cream and stir them until well blended.
