]]> [Comfort Food] The “wan tan mee” from my childhood https://mydaintydreams.com/comfort-food-the-wan-tan-mee-from-my-childhood/ Thu, 03 Sep 2020 09:17:49 +0000 https://mydaintydreams.com/?p=730 Technically, this isn’t a traditional “wan tan mee”. It’s more like noodles with minced pork gravy. haha. But I love the taste and it reminds me of my childhood. This isn’t exactly my mom’s recipe but I just recreated it with what I had in the kitchen. Not very helpful recipe below, because I didn’t measure anything so everything is just agak-agak.

]]> Simple homemade meatballs using minced pork https://mydaintydreams.com/simple-homemade-meatballs-using-minced-pork/ Sun, 26 Apr 2020 06:39:47 +0000 https://mydaintydreams.com/?p=601 My favorite way of making basic meatballs that I use in my soups and stews. Mix everything together, sear all sides on hot non-stick pan (no oil), add to soup/ stew and boil till fully cooked. I pretty much just “agak-agak” or eyeball the amount of seasoning I use. Generally each time I make it, it’s around 250g to 300g of minced pork. I add more cornstarch if it’s too sticky/slimy.

]]> My easy go-to meal prep yummy cabbage salad (great for work!) https://mydaintydreams.com/my-easy-go-to-meal-prep-yummy-cabbage-salad-great-for-work/ Mon, 04 Mar 2019 03:34:53 +0000 https://mydaintydreams.com/?p=188 Been making this every week as a simple but nutritious lunch to pack and bring to work. The base salad is made of shredded cabbage, sliced cucumbers, and shredded carrots. My favorite dressing is KEWPIE’s roasted sesame dressing. Love the nutty flavor it adds to the salad. I categorize my salad into 4 sections: Base, Toppings, Protein, Dressing. The Base is what I usually won’t…

]]> [Recipe Testing] Double Chocolate Chip Cookies (nut-free, grain-free, gluten-free) https://mydaintydreams.com/recipe-testing-double-chocolate-chip-cookies-nut-free-grain-free-gluten-free/ Sat, 03 Nov 2018 05:10:35 +0000 http://mydaintydreams.com/?p=45 Was curious to try out this recipe when I stumbled upon it on YouTube. Double chocolate chip cookies made with seeds instead of the usual wheat flour. In the video, she uses a food processor to grind the seeds and mix the ingredients. I don’t have one so I bought a grinder from Shopee that can grind nuts, spices, coffee beans etc to fine powder. Cost me about RM42 and works really well.

]]> Pork Ribs with Green Papaya Soup (青木瓜排骨汤) https://mydaintydreams.com/pork-ribs-with-green-papaya-soup-%e9%9d%92%e6%9c%a8%e7%93%9c%e6%8e%92%e9%aa%a8%e6%b1%a4/ Tue, 11 Sep 2018 02:41:38 +0000 http://mydaintydreams.com/?p=22 Made this soup a few weeks back and it has now become one of my favourite lazy day soups. Feeds 2 – 4 I use a “Thermal Insulated Cooking Pot” to make my soups as my stove is electric so I can’t boil the soup for many hours ($$$). So the method here is meant for that. I use an Empress Magic Cooker 5.5L. For normal stove top cooking: Prep the ingredients the same way.
