Cooking with Toddler: hard boiled egg

First, have your child place the eggs in a pot on the stove.  Fill the pot with water an inch or two above the eggs and turn the stove on to high.  You could also try putting in a teaspoon of baking soda which is supposed to help them peel even easier.  Wait until the water comes to a boil, cook 1 minute, and turn off the heat.  Cover and let the eggs cook for about 15 minutes.

Remove them from the heat and simply let the eggs sit until they are cool enough to handle, or put some ice into the pot.  If you want to use the eggs for later, I suggest putting the whole pot, including the water, in the refrigerator.  That way the water keeps the lining that is under the shell moist so it’s easy to remove.

Peel and enjoy!

Meat Floss Yogurt Swiss Roll

Meat Floss:
Ingredients:
770g pork tenderloin (can use chicken breast too)
1-2 tbsp Amino liquid
2 rice size sea salt
2 tbsp muscovado sugar
1/4 tsp five spices powder
dash of pepper
2 tsp white sesame 

Steps:
1) cook the meat for 2 hours ( i used it to boil soup for my lo then transform the meat into meat floss, haha..)
2) tear and mash the meat into loose
3) put into the bread maker and add in all the seasonings.
4) on "JAM" function x1 time then add in white sesame
5) on the "jam" function again and monitor till the meat dried then can off the machine.

Note: (wikipedia) Muscovado is very dark brown and slightly coarser and stickier than most brown sugars. Muscovado takes its flavor and color from its source, sugarcane juice. It offers good resistance to high temperatures and has a reasonably long shelf life. It is commonly used in baking recipes and making rum. Muscovado sugar can be used in most recipes where brown sugar is called for, by slightly reducing the liquid content of the recipe. Bought at cosway organic...
