Sushi Rolls

How To Make Sushi Rolls Hi guys!! For todays recipe I'll be showing you hot to make sushi rolls. Sushi is a traditional Japanese dish made with dried seaweed and cooked rice rolled with your selections of fillings. My daughter's favourite dish is sushi. Recently she's been bugging me almost every day to make sushi. At first this task was quite daunting to me. I had seen the chefs at the Japanese restaurants make sushi when we went out for dinner . It seemed so complicated and precise. How was I supposed to replicate that? So I did a little research and to my immense relief .. you dont need much to make sushi. Sure you need a few essentials like a bamboo mat and seaweed but the fillings are customisable leaving you with an endless array of options. It's also a great activity to do with your kids! Since it's the quarantine period I was a little worried on where I was going to get my ingredients. Lucky for me almost everything I needed was available online. So my daugh...

VEGETARIAN CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE Craving for dessert now? Try this lava cake.  They look fancy on the plate and are really easy to make. From start to finish. It takes only 30 minutes to whip up this 9 ingredients batter. These romantic and decadent desserts are usually served in restaurants. But I'm telling you the home made version is so much better. When your folk breaks through the exterior of the cake, the divine luscious liquid oozes out. I'm sure you will fall in love with this recipe. To make this lava cake, I have used 70% bitter sweet compound chocolate which is meant for baking to get the lava effect. Avoid using chocolate chips or ready to eat chocolate. Use both good quality chocolate and cocoa powder. It makes a huge difference.  You can make this cake in ramekins, aluminum foil cups or muffin moulds. Here I'm using muffin moulds. To avoid the cake sticking to the mould,  I have greased the muffin pan with butter and dust with  cocoa powder. Then place cu...

Prawn Biryani

Prawn Biryani cooked in rice cooker My family loves biryani .  It's been sometime since I've cooked biryani, so I thought of making good use of some beautiful and fresh prawns we had.  Not all biryanis are the same. The texture, moisture and flavours can differ vastly. I like it less oily but at the same time not too dry. Spices provide the aroma and punch.  Vegetables are added in this recipe to add extra flavour and texture. I would call this a one pot meal .  If u are short of time, in my opinion. Cooking biryani in a rice cooker  is a quick and easy way to have a hearty and fulfilling meal. So here is my version of an easy biryani recipe with some Malaysian influence. Ingredients - 1/2 kilo prawn ( clean and de-veined)  - 3 cups basmati rice (measure from rice                                         cooker cup) - l stalk lemon grass ( bruised) - 1 pandan ...
