Sasha cook: Homemade Tofu

Since I made some soya bean milk, I thought "hey why not try and make some tofu out of it since I have so much soya milk. I remember Malaika and Kelsey's mum made this before so I quickly google for it and started making it right after I was done with my soya bean milk.

You need :
500ml of soya milk, unsweetened
6 eggs
and 1/4 tsp of salt

Break the eggs and beat lightly. Then add in the salt and soya bean milk. You need to line the container of your choices with cling wrap and then strain the mixture into the container and steam it over low fire for 20 mins.

I made the mixture into 2 container cos my family is small so we don't need such a big portion. I gave another container to my neighbour. Cos she always cook for me and I think my cooking is not so nice. So I thought why not give raw food and she cook it herself. hehe

And this is how it looks like when I removed it from the container.

Since it's made of egg and soya bean milk, so its yellowish in colour

And this is what I prepared for my family that night.

Sorry ah.. my presentation skill is very bad terrible. 

Simple meal with some soya sauce and sesame sees oil sprinkled on top. I added abit of sugar and then fried some shallots and pour it over the tofu. I wanted to sprinkle some spring onions on top but I don't have it in my kitchen.

(Self Reminder: buy some spring onion next time and keep in the kitchen or plant own so will have own supply anytime)

Personally I think its very easy to make your own tofu. If you don't have any homemade soya bean milk, you can always go to the soya bean seller and ask for the unsweetened one and its the same. But once I bough a bottle of unsweetened soya bean milk in a bottle, went home and found out that it is spoilt. So since then I never thought of making it until I prepared my own soya bean today. Try it, its easy :)

Sasha Cook: Homemade Soya Bean Milk

I have always wonder how is it like to make my own soya bean milk. So while shopping at Jaya Grocer, I saw a pack of soya bean and bought it. It was around Rm2.60 for that pack. Forgot how heavy it is and didn't bother cos I thought I'll fail making it.

So I soaked the bean overnight and it became huge, almost doubled the size. So I microwaved it for 2 mins to get rid of the beany smell and then only blend it with some water. The straining part is the hardest as I used the finest strainer (for kopi-O) so I had to use my hands to squeeze the milk out. My son said "mami, are you "milking" the soya? haha So finally was the cooking part. I manage to get some pandan leaves from my garden and put in together with the soya bean milk and cooked it for 20 mins. Voila! Soya bean milk is ready.

It is easy, but of course there are alot of washing to do. The blender, the strainer, the containers, the pot and also the kitchen. If only I have the super Thermomix machine that can do it all in the machine in 20 mins time. *sigh* But nevermind.... before I can save enough money to buy it, I'll just do it manually, long time once. hehe

OnePot

I noticed that I hardly post makan-makan post anymore. Think maybe after Justin started to crawl then I stopped blogging about food edi. Probably hard to control 2 fellas while eating or probably we just stop going to nice/new place to try new food and go for the usual.

So anyway, last week (or is it last last week?) we went hunting for dinner that night and we ended up at this place : OnePot

It's located at the corner shoplot opposite McClient's Florist in SS2.

I think the sauce selection is similar to the one in 100degree.

This caught Jayden's attention. A touch screen built in pc with internet. He played angry birds and also watched youtube while eating. But the internet speed is su.....per.......se......low man. As long as can keep the kids occupied while we eat it's good enough.

Anyway, what is special about this onepot? They have steamboat with many different kinds of soup or you can choose to have paper grill. What is paper grill?

You put a piece of paper on the grill and cook your food without oil. I personally think its okay, but kinda troublesome cos as you cook, you gotto add bbq sauce to it, then the food get cook, then the sauce will kena the paper, then the paper will burn abit, then become darker and darker and then the waiter/waitress will come and change the paper. Then you re cook again..... and again. Not forgetting the staff is really helpful. They took turn to stand at our table and cook for us. *paiseh maxxxx*

We ordered the Rm29.90 package for the grill and add some corn soup (rm5 for a very big portion and free refill- YAY!) and noodles  for my kids. The grill package came and my hub asked me "That's all for you and me ah???" I didn't have the chance to take pic of the grill package cos the staff came and started to cook for us. So I only took pic of the hand and how they cook . hehe Anyway, back to the package it's really small portion compared to the one we had in Pulau Ketam Steamboat or 100degree. So what to do?  Drink alot of corn soup lor since it's free refill.

Since the seats and tables are mounted to the wall and "someone" refused to sit on the baby high chair, he gotto squat and eat that night. haha  Kids were happy cos they both got the "colour" of spoon, plate, bowl and cup of their choices and also watch youtube while eating. But mum and dad went home half full but luckily we can easily find supper :)

Magic Plaster

We're at Summit and  I noticed that Jayden had scratched his leg and some blood was oozing out pretty badly. So I went to the nearby Guardian and wanted to pick up some "ordinary" plaster that will cost me less than rm3 a pack. Jayden came in dragging his feet as though its so painful and asked me to buy another plaster. "this one better" he said. Fine, I bought it although it's Rm5.90 for 10pcs pack.

So I put it on for him and instantly he smiled. And he can even walk properly now. Magic plaster? I don't know.

See can stand straight , right away!

Told you its magic plaster.

He likes Finn McMissile cos he is blue. That pc of plaster just costs me 59cents per piece.

But since its magic plaster that can heal instantly, 59 cents also worth it lah right? :P

Failed!

I was working from the dining table and then I saw Jayden did this.

This is what he likes to do. Headstands, literally using head only.

And then he asked Justin, "Justin you do it too"

I heard Justin said "okay...Okay..... I will do it too..........."

I turn to my right and I saw this
