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

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.

Hakau Udang

Getting better and bettteeeeeeerrr... it's my brand new achievement for today!! yaaaayy... finally know how to pleats the "hakau dough" just right, not easy torn apart, and wrap the shrimp nicely. I still use the dough recipe from NCC the best so far but i prefer use my own shrimp filling recipe.

Dough :

150 gr Tangmien flour (wheat starch in US)

50 gr "Sagu" flour (i use tapioca starch in US)

250 ml boiled water

2 Tbsp oil

Shrimp filling:

300 gr peeled shrimp

chopped garlic

2 Tbsp "Sagu" flour (use tapioca starch)

white pepper

sugar

soy sauce

sesame oil

mix all the filling ingredients then set aside.

for step by step making the hakau wrap and how to make the pleats u can hit this helpful link How to make Shrimp Hakau.

then steam for 10 minutes just when the skin turn into transparent. don't forget to grease the surface of your steamer so the hakau will not stick on to it.
