Homemade Bentong Ginger Powder

All these while, I had been loving Ginger tea and always bought from homemade store various type of Ginger made products namely the Ginger tea with longan, Ginger powder and etc.

Recently, I was searching high and low for Original Pure Bentong Ginger powder in the market, however, I wasn't able to find the one I really looking for! 

Since I had my own dehydrator and my sis was suggesting, why not made our own Ginger powder and at least we know what it made from. Moreover, with Thermomix TM5, I can basically grind and blend anything!

This was my first time making it, was too excited and didn't really took photos, will post up more photos on the next time I make it!

I had ordered 10kgs of Bentong Ginger from a friend of my brother. After getting the Ginger, maid had helped me to wash clean and dried the Ginger. 

After few days, we sliced it using the Tupperware brand Mandoline which is really eased us on slicing work. We can cut into our desired thickness without a sweat. After slicing it, now you place all the sliced Ginger into dehydrator to dehydrate it for 6hrs every round. We used about 3 days continually to dehydrate 10kgs of Ginger. 

       This is the Mandoline I was using

After done with dehydrated the Ginger, I used my new toy - TM5 to grind it into powder. I had grinded all the 10kgs Bentong Ginger and only had about 850grams of Ginger powder!

Let me share the making by steps as below:-

Voila... The very fine, nicely grinder Bentong Ginger powder is now ready to be serve.

Many asking me, what's the used of Ginger powder, why bother to make it myself since it's so troublesome and not easy!

Well, homemade Bentong Ginger is hearhier and most importantly is we know what we consume and it's PURE! This Ginger powder that I made, smell so good compared to those we got from market. 

Usually I used my homemade Bentong Ginger powder for cooking (salted chicken especially), to cure cough, caught flu and etc. Ginger powder is good for our health and we should always keep a bottle with us at home!

Condensed Milk Mantou by TM5

My recent new love - Thermomix TM5!

If I tell you this new toy bring a lot of joy to me and my families & friends! 

Let me share with you this lovely Condensed Milk Mantou. Frankly speaking, before I got TM5, I had never thought about homemade mantou at all, as it's not easy to make perfect dough! 

With TM5, all we need is less than 3mins of time to wake the yeast and knead the dough! 3 mins later... Ta da... Mantou dough is ready... Next is proofing... It took about 35-45mins to proof the Mantou before we can really steam it.

Now, here comes the recipe for TM5:-

Condensed Milk Mantou

100g - water

5g - yeast

10g - raw cane sugar (or to your taste)

Put all these ingredients into mixing bowl with 30sec / 37'c / spd 2

(This is to wake the yeast)

Add in the following after 30sec:-

250g - pau flour

100g - Condensed Milk

1 pinch - salt

2mins / / Dough function

After 2 mins, pour the dough on a lightly floured silicone mat for easy shaping. 

Now use rolling pin to roll the dough flat (this is to let go the extra air in the dough). Then use hand to roll back the dough to make Mantou shape. Then cut into desire size of Mantou.

Let it proof for 35-45mins, then put back the Varoma tray into TM5 and steam for 18mins / V / spd 2

iPhone 6

Guess I am one of the luckiest in the world to have this super awesome daddy! 

Went to Japan for holiday last week with hubby and my dad! 

At first daddy was talking about getting himself a new iPhone 6 and he was considering whether to get iPhone 6 or iPhone 6+! 

On the next morning, he woke up earlier and told me: "let's go to Apple Store in Osaka!" I was like u seriously wanna buy iPhone 6 here? He said yeah! I wanna get 5 of them! Wtf!! Later he said he wanna get it for all of us as Xmas gift! Omg!! I think I am so so lucky to have such an awesome daddy!!!

After arriving at shinsaibashi Apple Store at 10.05am, we saw super long Q lining up in the store and we do not have a clue as we thought that was the Q to buy iPhone 6! Later only found out that is actually the service Q! iPhone 6 & 6+ only available for pre-order and subject to store availability! 

Lucky that lady is helpful and helped us check which is the available store and found Fukuoka still have plenty of Gold color 64GB iPhone 6 available for booking! Lucky us! Immediately we make online booking and rush down to Fukuoka from Osaka! It's almost a 3 hours ride by Shinkansen! 

So we rushed down to Fukuoka at around 12pm and arrived at 3.30pm at Apple Store Fukuoka! Happily collected all the 5pc of iPhone 6! 

This is my new iPhone 6 with the cute Hello Kitty casing!! 

Thanks dad for the earlier Xmas gift this year!!! I love u so much xoxo!!!!

Tong shui (Dessert) series 1:-

Boil this because I am coughing non stop for few days!

Figs with pears and "chuan bei" powder dessert.

Ingredient:-

1pc of giant Korean pear

3pc giant red dates

3pc candies dates

3pc giant figs

10grams "chuan bei" powder

3pcs of pandan leaves

(Supposed to add cane sugar, but since I am using Korean pear which is sweet enough, so I skip the cane sugar)

I am using #DDZ136 double boiler to boil it for 3hrs!

The "chuan bei" is good for coughing, but in order for it to be more effective, I requested the shop to grind it to powdery so we can absorb fully when we drink it!

红枣蜜枣无花果川贝粉炖雪梨

材料：-

1颗韩国大雪梨

3可红枣

3颗蜜枣

3颗大粒的无花果

10克川贝粉

3片班蘭叶 

（原本应该放蔗糖，但怕太甜，最后拿出来了）

慢炖3小时！

味道很好，还好没放蔗糖，不然就很甜了！还以为放川贝粉会搞到糖水很浓，还好是一般！

这是特别根治咳嗽的！
