Chocolate Cream & Chocolate Chips Cheese Cake

250g Ricotta Cheese

500g Cream Cheese 1/2 cup of butter

200g of Chocolate Cream ( Desert Dips )

100g of Chocolate Chips ( The baking type )

1 Whole Lemon Juice without any seeds

1 teaspoon of Pure Vanilla extract

3 cups of sugar

2 cups of Sour Cream

5 egg whites

1 whole egg

enough digestive biscuit for the bottom layer of the cheese cake

First take those digestive biscuits and put a hand full of them into a ziplock bag, make sure there's not too much air trapped inside when you zip it up and crush the biscuits inside real good. The reason I choose to use a large ziplock bag cause not only they are tough, but also allows you to see where are the larger chunks within and pinpoint crush them up :)

Now use some butter and grease a 9" spring form pan and start filling the crushed biscuits in to form a roughly 3 mm thick layer of biscuits. Use any flat flexible plastic lid like those that comes with plastic lunch boxes, to press and pack in the biscuits at the bottom of the pan.

Now mix the 2 types of cheese in a large mixing bowl. Make sure they are room temperature so its easier to hand whipped. Yes ! you heard right .... using a hand whip is the best as you can control the size of the rotation and the single direction you start and end with. That means if you started with a clock wise direction please try to maintain that direction all the way till the end. Reason is something to do with aligning the food fibres within the mixture to 1 single direction :P

Now add in 1 whole egg and whip. Next make sure the mixture is blend well and start adding in 1 egg white at a time, continue whipping until each egg white added is completely blend in before the next egg white is added in. After the 5th egg white has been blended in then add in the vanilla extract, all the lemon juices, 1/2 cup of Sour Cream and enough sugar to taste( I personally like it sweet !).

Now pour the whole mixture into the spring form pan on top of the pressed biscuit layer slowly. Level the top out evenly and back for 45 mins at 175 degrees C. After that lower the temperature to 150 degrees C for another 10 mins or so or until the center of the cheese cake is set. To test if your cake is baked through you can always employ the use of a nice long chopstick to stick down the middle of the cake, if it comes out dry then your cake should be done. Now take it out and leave it out in the table to cool for 10 mins.

Now take the 1 and 1/2 cups of sour cream into a mixing bowl, add in the Chocolate Desert Dip and sugar to taste. Once you have whipped all of that to a nice clean mixture, add in all the chocolate chips to continue whipping. Finally just slowly pour it over the baked cheesecake which is still in the spring form pan. Now lower the temperature of the oven to 125 degrees C and bake for another 15 mins. Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool for about 1 hour to 2 hour till its at room temperature before you cover the top with some light flat material like cupboard or a flat dish and set it inside the fridge for at least 8 hours but 12 hours is best ! When read serve with a nice glass of white wine :) bon apatite :D

Pan Grilled Dory Fillet with Baby Asparagus finished in Broccoli honey sauce

I love fish or any type of fish for that matter. They are easy to cook and have their own distinct flavors too ! All you need is to cook it with a sauce and that's it ! I choose Dory as its usually skinned and debone. It has a nice creamy silky texture and its taste great !

Heat up a large grilling pan, add in 1 table spoon of butter and start cooking the baby asparagus in it. Season to taste with the onion salt, black pepper and rose Mary herbs. Just lightly cook it for about 1 minute or so and then set them aside.

Now add in all the butter , add in the pepper , onion salt and the rest of the rose Mary herb over the melted butter. Just sprinkle them over the area on the pan which you will be placing the Dory fillet. Grill the Dory over medium high heat for about 3 minutes on 1 side. Once the first side is ready just season the top side with Onion salt and black pepper before you flip it over and grill for another 3 minutes.

Remove the Dory from the grilling pan and sent it on a large flat serving plate. Arrange the cooked baby asparagus on top of the Dory fillet. Now we move on to the sauce. Using back all the sauce that was left behind on the grilling pan, add in the white wine or apple cider, take a wooden spoon and start gently scrubbing off the sticky chunks of dory fillets that was left on the pan. After that add in the heavy cream and 1/2 table spoon of the blended broccoli. Add onion salt and honey to taste. Once the sauce mixture is reduced and thicken for about 3 to 4 minutes , carefully spoon the sauce around the Dory Fillet and serve immediately. Enjoy !!

Pasta with Broccoli Ham Chips and Gorgonzola

I always love the strong tangy flavour of Gorgonzola cheese, though a little on the pricey side. Still have you ever wonder how wonderful it would taste when its put into your mouth?

1 teaspoon of black pepper

First add the butter into a pre heated deep pan, add in the ham chips and garlic. Stir fry the mixture for about 3 minutes or so. Add the onion salt and pepper to taste. Once the ham chips and the garlic starts to brown a little on the edges, add in the wine or apple cider together with the heavy cream. Boil the whole mixture for about 5 minutes or until its reduced and thicken. While you were cooking the mixture you have to prepare boiling water and bath the broccoli in it for 20 secs, drained and set aside.

Lower the heat of the deep pan, toss in the broccoli which you had prepared earlier. Make sure the broccoli is all well coated with the mixture. Now add in the Pasta and the diced Gorgonzola Cheese and toss until you can see the cheese had started to melt and gives off the heavenly smell.

Gnocchi in Garlic Butter sauce

Last time we had Gnocchi in tomato sauce, this time we will try it in our all time favorite sinful garlic butter sauce. For those of you who haven't read my early post on Gnocchi making just refer to this link :)

http://www.nimamok.com/2007/08/gnocchi.html

Here are the ingredients for my garlic butter sauce.

1 tea spoon of finely minced garlic ( use a food processor :P )
1/2 a stick of butter
2 or 3 cups of full cream milk ( if you like a heavy sauce you can use cooking creams )
some salt
some black pepper
1 table spoon of mixed herbs ( as before you can get them from Cold Storage )
1 teaspoon of powder form Parmesan cheese

Now using low medium heat, start by melting all the butter in a large sauce pan slowly. Just before the butter completely melts and right before simmering, add in the milk or cream which had been microwaved for at least 4 mins. The reason is you don't want the butter to be cooled by the cold milk or cream. Now continuously stir gently while the butter and the milk or cream is brought to a slow light boil, make sure you maintain as light a heat level just enough to bring the solution to a light simmer.

Now add in the garlic in small portions to taste. The reason is its very selective how others like their "Garlicness" in their garlic butter sauce, some like it nice and strong while some like it mild and sweet. Well now was you gotten the level of garlic taste in the solution, add salt and pepper to taste. Finally add in all the mixed herbs to the sauce with the heat turned off and stir for about a min.

Now put your boiled and drained Gnocchi in a low serving plate. If you can I prefer to microwave the plate for about 1 min to warm it up before putting the Gnocchi on it. Then spoon as much of the garlic butter sauce as you like onto the Gnocchi, bathing it in the rich tasty sauce.
Sprinkle some freshly chopped Parsley on top and some grated cheese and serve !

Buon Appetito !

Daube of Mutton

The thing about the taste of mutton, it can be very tricky to get the right blend of seasoning to bring out its most attractive flavors and decrease the undesirable ones. Although many cultures has found their own unqiue ways to do that, I would like to share just one of the many delightful ways to prepare mutton and enjoy its wonder aroma and taste :D

500g of cubed lean mutton
60g of cornstarch
60ml of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 or 2 Large Onion chopped
1 or 2 cloves of fresh garlic chopped
500ml of broth ( I used Brovil instant broth )
200ml of Red Wine
5g of Dried Mixed Spices ( you can get a bottle of these from ColdStorage Supermarket)
Adequate black pepper
Some rings of orange skin ( optional )
2 whole zucchini either chopped large chunks or you can slice it thin
300g of Sweet Potato ( I used the yellow kind )

First trim off any visible fat you find on the mutton, as to prevent when you bake it the fat would melt and increase a layer of unsightly oil over it. Next use a large frying pan with enough Olive oil and fry the mutton cubes until brown or for no more then 4 minutes per batch. Remove the mutton from the pan but keep the oil.

Next add the remaining oil in and heat it up. Now throw in the garlic and onions and stir fry it till nice light golden brown. Now add in all the vegetables to stir fry for about a minute or 2. Now add in the wine , broth, herbs and black pepper to taste to the mixture and keep stirring till it starts to boil again. Now add the mixture together with the Mutton into a large 3 inch deep baking pan or large cassrole bowl. Now Preheat the oven first to 410 F or 210 C degrees and place the whole thing in to be baked for 1hour to 2 hours max. This is also be shortened if the mutton is tender and ready.

Finally add in the sweet potatos and the Zucchinis and bake no more then another 30 mins.

Serve this great dish with either bread or white rice cooked in a little bit of white vinegar and dill spices.

Enjoy !!!

Tiramisu - traditional

I always love the smooth almost ice cream texture and taste of a Tiramisu cake, today I decided to whip one just to satisfy that craving of mine. There are alot of great Tiramisu recipes around but sometimes you just wanna take control of the flavor and just have to tweak the taste to your liking :D

1000g of Mascarpone Cheese ( available in ColdStorage IKANO )
170g of Custard Sugar
25g of water
200g of egg yolks
150g of egg whites
1 whole lemon zest
1 standard little bottle of Coffee Kahlua ( can be bought at any confectionery stores )
1 standard little bottle of RUM ( can be bought at any confectionery stores )
60g of Gelatin Powder ( can be bought at any confectionery stores )
12 to 20 sticks of bakery ladyfingers breadbiscuts ( can be bought at any confectionery stores )
3 table spoon of Instant Coffee ( no sugar no cream )
5 table spoon of unsweetened cocoa powder


First you need to dissolve about 20g to 25g of water with about 150g of sugar on a saucepan with low heat. Bring the solution to a slight boil and pay attention not to let the sugar solution brown and become too burnt or else it might just crystallize on you :P
Now while its steadily been brought to a slight boil in low heat , you pour the egg whites into a bowl and add the rest of the sugar into it and gently whisk it to dissolve the sugar completely.
Now once both the water sugar and egg whites sugar solutions are ready, just pour the egg whites solution into the water sugar solution and continue boiling it with a low heat. Always remember to keep stirring the combined solution continuously to prevent the egg whites from cooking and the solution burning at the bottom of the pan. Switch off the heat once boil further 6 mins or so.

Now empty the Mascarpone Cheese straight from the fridge into the large mixing bowl. Take special note that the cheese need not or recommended not to be at room temperature as these cheese are so light they start to turn into milk when left outside the fridge :P Add in the egg yolks and ONLY use a hand whisk to slowly and gently whip the cheese and the egg yolks together to get a off light yellowish cheese. Take special care Tiramisu is a about patients and tender loving care. The gentle slow whipping of will produce very nice thick creamy cheese mixture that will be easy to spread later into the 9 inch Spring pan. Once the creamy cheese mixture is achieved, add in the Coffee Kahlua and RUM to taste with the Gelatin Powder. Continue to slowly slowly whip the creamy cheese mixture now until all the Coffee Kahlua and RUM is well mixed.

Finally combine the previously prepared Egg whites , sugar and water solution slowly into the creamy cheese mixture little bit by bit and until to taste. Some people like it just light on taste while others want it brute flavored as while so its up to you. Just remember to slow blend by hand only ( no machine please ! or the cheese will melt and the egg yolks and egg whites will bloat ) until all mixed up and tasting great !

Now prepare a strong coffee mixture with warm water. Next prepare the spring pan and place the Breadbiscuts in it so that the whole bottom is lined. After that take a tablespoon and slowly scoop the strong coffee mixture over every piece of the breadbiscuts to have it all soaked in the coffee. Next scoop enough of the Tiramisu creamy cheese mixture to cover the coffee soaked breadbiscuts.

Now on top of that first layer of Tiramisu, you will repeat the same coffee soaking breadbiscuts technique again. Once done just scoop the rest of the thick creamy cheese into the spring pan.

Now place the whole Tiramisu into the fridge and chill overnight or 8 hours or so. Check if the Tiramisu is nice and set before opening the spring pan. Sprinkle the Cocoa powder over the cake which ever way you like it and serve immediately ! Have Fun !!

Steamed Sliver Cod in Teow Chew Bean Paste

This is the 2nd chinese dish I prepared :D.
Those of you who love fish like me would really love this timeless favorite :P
Its really really easy and all it takes from start till end is just 30mins !!! heres now you make a bad ass steam fish :P

300g - 500g Silver Cord or any fish you like :D
50g chopped old ginger
30g chopped shallots or small onions
10g Chopped Chilly padi ( yeah baby ! we talking spicy ! )
10g Garlic cloves chopped
50ml of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Seasoning
1 table spoon or 2 table spoon of Teow Chew Bean Paste
1 table spoon of Light Soya Sauce
1 table spoon of oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon of salt or to taste
1 table spoon of White wine
Sugar to taste
1 table spoon of cornstarch or tapioca flour

250ml of water

Heat up the water in a steamer pot or just a deep sauce pan with the stainless steel support grills in the middle. Once the steam starts to build up, place the fish on top of a bed of chop sticks suspended over a shallow plate. The reason is that I dont want the smelly juices that steam out of the fish to be bathing the steamed fish with it the whole time.

Now cover the whole thing up to steam for no more then 7mins tops. Now after that drain off the smelly juices collected under the suspended fish on the the chopsticks and set the fish aside on the serving plate.

Start by heating up a deep sauce pan with a little bit of olive oil, once its heated up drop in the garlic and the ginger and let it simmer up in medium low heat settings. Once the aroma is coming off add in all the other spices and the chillies. Now when it gives of the spicy aroma which could be just 20 secs of cooking add in the white wine and all the seasoning. Also at in like 1/2 cup of water or 200ml to 250ml. Now add more salt or sugar for taste.

Pour the whole paste thats piping hot over directly into the steamed fish and serve immediately :D Happy cooking and eating !!!

Herbal Soup with Vegetarian Mutton

This is something that is easy to cook and very nice to have.. its a kind of herbal tea soup.
Usually they cook it with real spare ribs or chicken. I decided to use vegetarian glutton for my cooking. I prefer to use the vegetarian mutton, as its made of primarily Chinese mushroom fibres so it would not just disintegrate after a couple of hours of boiling...... the thing about Chinese herbal soup... you boil for up to 8 hours :P

5 large bowls of water
1 pack of Chinese chicken herbal soup herbs ( you can get them at local shopping malls )
1 pack of 350g of vegetarian mutton glutton.
some salt


Boil the water for about 20 mins. Add in the herbal mixture into the water. Boil the water for 30 mins with the herbal. Now if you are using real meat, please make sure there is bones with it but you can get rid of the skin. And you need to rinse through the real meat with boiling hot water before adding into the boiling herbs.

But since i am using vegetarian mutton, I just have to dump them in. By now the liquid with the herbs would be boiling for 30mins or more, turn down the heat to the lowest setting and let it slow boil for up to eight hours. If you had about 1 litre of water to start with in a large bowl it should be enough.

Now its 8 hours already and you just have to add salt to taste and serve it up ! Happy drinking ;D
