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...

Home-made Japanese Curry Rice
Home-made Japanese Curry
Ingredients
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
4 Tbsp. all purpose flour
1 Tbsp. curry powder
1 Tbsp. garam masala
Instructions
1. Melt the butter over medium low heat.
2 When the butter is completely melted, add the flour.
3. Stir to combine the butter and flour. Soon the butter and flour will mix. Do not stop stirring because the roux will easily burn.
4. After 20-30 minutes, the roux will turn to light brown color. Add the curry powder and garam masala.
5. Cook and stir for 30 seconds and remove from the heat.
Note:
If you don't use it immediately, let it cool in an airtight container with lid and store in refrigerator for a month or freezer for 3-4 months.
Electric Lunch Box Curry Rice
Ingredients:
1/2 packet of boneless chicken thigh. (Skin removed and sliced into chunks. Marinate overnight with a teaspoon of sesame oil, tiny pinch of salt and pepper)
1/4 carrot, peeled and chopped into small chunks
1 potato (Potatoes oxidize very quickly when peeled/cut. So do this only when you are about to cook. If your office pantry doesn’t have knives/peelers then you may substitute this with other vegetables. I reckon broccoli will do fine too!)
2 cubes of Japanese Curry or homemade curry sauce
Instructions:
1. . When you are ready to cook, peel potato and slice into small chunks. The smaller it is, the faster it cooks.
2. Place the potato & carrot chunks into the electric lunch box’s larger metal tin. Pour in some hot water, just enough to cover the vegetables.
3. Fill the electric lunch box heater compartment 1/2 full with hot water. Place the larger metal tin in, cover and let it cook for 15mins.
4. After 15 mins, the vegetables should be almost cooked. Add the marinated chicken chunks and let it cook for another 15 mins. If you are having the curry with rice, you may start cooking the rice in the electric lunch box at this point.
5. After the next 15 mins, stir in the Japanese curry cubes. If the consistency is too thick, add a little hot water and stir. Eat this hot! (=

Hong Kong Egg Tarts
HONG KONG EGG TARTS (港式蛋挞)
Source: adapted from Aunty Yochana
(Recipe for 20 tarts)
Custard Filling
240 g eggs
160 g sugar
480 ml milk
1¼ tsp vanilla extract
Tart Shells
125 g salted butter, softened
60 g icing sugar, sifted
15 g egg white
15 g egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
210 g plain flour
To make tart filling, whisk sugar with eggs till melted. Add milk and vanilla extract. Whisk till evenly mixed. Sieve to remove big bubbles, into something that can pour without dripping. Set aside till small bubbles subside, about 1¼ hours.
To make tart dough, mix butter and icing sugar till smooth. Add egg white, yolk and vanilla extract. Mix till well combined. If dough is sticky, sprinkle with flour 1 tsp at a time and mix through. If dough is dry and crumbly, sprinkle with water instead 1 tsp at a time. Place dough in freezer till just firm, spread out to cool down faster. This should take 10 minutes or so. When lining tart moulds, remove dough from freezer ¼ portion at a time.
To line tart moulds, smooth 2 plastic sheets so that there are no folds. Roll 30 g dough into a ball. Place ball between plastic sheets. Press evenly with flat-bottomed plate to form a circle 2 mm thick and 10 cm wide, checking thickness and evenness by touching dough with palm. Remove top plastic sheet. Place 8 x 2.5 cm tart mould on dough, rim side down. Flip mould, along with dough and remaining plastic sheet, to face upward. Press dough into mould, from centre to rim. Remove plastic sheet. Trim excess dough around edges. Run fingers round tart mould, gently pressing to even out thickness and remove air pockets if necessary. Trim again if there's excess dough.
To bake tart shells, preheat oven to 150°C. Place shells on baking tray. Bake 15 minutes in middle of oven. Increase temperature to 180°C. Continue baking till slightly brown, another 5 minutes or so. Remove from oven. Leave on wire rack to cool down completely.
To bake tarts, preheat oven to 165°C. If you want to line your baking tray with foil, it should be shiny side down. Pour custard into shells, to 2 mm from rim. Bake 15 minutes in bottom of oven. Reduce temperature to 150°C. Move tray to middle of oven. Top up filling to make up for evaporation. Bake till custard is just slightly wobbly in the middle when shaken, another 15 minutes or so. If custard puffs up during last few minutes but is still too watery in the middle, remove tarts from oven to cool down till custard subsides, then continue baking. Watch custard closely towards the end to make sure it doesn't overcook.
Serve hot, or at least warm. Leftovers should be refrigerated. Tarts may be reheated at 120°C using bottom heat only for 10 minutes or so. Pastry isn't soggy at all if reheated without moulds.
