Vegetarian Spaghetti + ham roll

Decided to become the chef of the lunch out of a sudden. After a few hours of thinking, I decided to go for spaghetti, which I haven't consume it quite a long time.

 Basically, this is what you need for spaghetti cooking. 

Ingredients : 
Spaghetti (quantity based on your consumption)
mushroom ( you can put the amount you like, as for me, I put in half can for 3 servings)
spaghetti sauce ( I prefer PREGO spaghetti traditional sauce, I like the sourness of the sauce very much XD)
1 Onion
1 green bell pepper
Ham

 The "Agnesi" brand spaghetti is a brand that I tried first time. I bought it because .... *wink* ( it is with extra 33% of spaghetti compared the other brand with same price. Huh...I know I am quite aunty  abit.)

Started my preparation work by cutting the onion which had caused tears ran out of my eyes for few minutes. 

Vege Spaghetti Cooking Steps:

1. Boil a huge amount of water and add in a small amount of salt. Add in spaghetti to the boiled water and let them cooked for around 10 minutes.

2. Cut the onion and green pepper into cubes. Slice the mushroom as well.

3. Heat the saucepan with some olive oil. Fried the onion, green peppers and also mushroom for several minutes. You can smell the aroma of the vege now. :))

4. Add in PREGO spaghetti sauce. ( You gotta adjust the amount accordingly. As for my 3 servings, I put in at least half jar of the sauce.) (mine is the biggest size of the PREGO jar)

5. Flavour the sauce with salt/oregano and mix it with the vege. You can add in some cheese or milk into the sauce depends on your flavour. 

6. Drain the cooked spaghetti and mix the spaghetti with the sauce before serving. 

See, the spaghetti cooking is as easy as abc right? And it takes less time in preparation and cooking compare to other food and it suits lazy fello like me.  (Instant mee is not count in)

At the same time, I had prepared an appetizer for my lunch. The dish is somehow inspired by some other famous dish. Somehow I only can prepare the appetizer with the ingredients available. I named them -- > ham roll. (ok, i know the name is sucks LOL) 

Like the above idea?

It is just a simple and nice dish.
Ingredients:
2 pieces of ham (cut into 3 slices each)
2 french beans
carrot (slices into rectangular sizes )
6 slices mushrooms
mayonnaise
tomato sauce


Steps :
1. Divide the frenc beans into 3 pieces each.
2. Grill.fry the ham. Serve the hams on plate to let them cold. Then fry the french beans, carrots, and slice mushrooms for about 3 minutes. Add some salt and pepper to taste.
3. Lay some mayonnaise on the ham. Put a french bean, carrots and a sliced mushroom at the end of the ham. Then roll it up. Use toothpick to stable the roll.
4. Repeat step no.3  with the remaining. Served.

Homemade Chee Cheong Fun

I should have blogged about this days ago. ANyway, I just picked up my mood to update my blog. Sorry for the late update.

Holiday at home made me feel so enjoyable and thus, I had try so cooking-baking time at home.

One day I was craving with chee cheong fun and I found the recipe online. I discover that the steps are easy, erm...at least not as hard as i thought. So I decide to give it a try.

It makes me run quite a numbers of store/supermarket in order to get myself wheat starch/wheat flour.

Here comes the recipe : (from Jessie-CookingMoments)



160g Rice Flour 粘米粉
10g Corn Flour 粟粉
10g Wheat Starch/Flour) 澄面
660ml Water
10ml Oil
Pinch of Salt
40g Dried Shrimp, washed & pan-fried
Few Stalks of Spring Onions, chopped
1 tsp White Sesame Seeds, toasted.

However, I modified some. As I told you, I can't find the wheat starch. So I skipped the wheat starh, and add the amount of shrimp freestyle, and I replace long bean instead of spring onions.


Method:
1. Place flour, salt & water in a bowl & mix until a smooth batter is formed.  Add oil & stir to combine.  Cover the bowl with cling wrap & rest for at least 30 minutes. ( I have totally forgot this step when I was facinating in my own cooking world, wtf @@)
2. Bring the water in the wok/steamer to boil at high heat.
3. Cut the dry shrimps into pieces. Cut the long bean into cube size. Fried the dry shrimps and long bean for a few minutes.
4. Oil a baking dish.  Stir the batter before pouring into the oiled dish to form a thin layer on the base of the dish, about 2mm-3mm.  . Sprinkle with some dried shrimps and long beans.
TIP: Do not use too much of dried shrimp as it will make the rolling & cutting jobs harder. (great, I have forgotten this notice too. )
4. Steam the batter at medium-high heat for 6 minutes.
5. Oil the dough scrapper.  Scrape up 1 side of the Chee Cheong Fun, use hand to roll up the CCF.  Place on a clean, flat plate.  Repeat until the rest of the batter is all used.

Here's come the outcome of my chee cheong fun. I know I know, they don''t look temting and not looking good either. But this is my first time making chee cheong fun leh. :P

I didn't cook any dipping sauce. What I did was just add in some soysauce and sesame oil, which the combination of these is a great yummy sauce to me.
