Kuih Dangai

Update 11 Oct 2017

What to do with leftover fresh grated coconut? Quite a lot of it ...

Kuih dangai works .. nicely salty sweet .. texture is surprisingly springy, chewy, on top of the grated coconut taste. Due to the glutinous rice flour.
Kuih dangai

 Translated from Malay recipe below:
Kuih Dangai
Ingredients:
3 bowls of freshly grated coconut (white one for kuih)
1 bowl of glutinous rice flour
1/3 bowl of sugar (sweetness according to taste)
1/2 tsp salt

Method:
1. Place grated coconut in a mixing bowl.
2. Add glutinous rice flour, mix the flour and coconut evenly. Add salt and mix thoroughly. Make sure the grated coconut mixture has no lumps.
3. Heat up (short while) the container to be used for baking. (Note: I used a muffin tray.) 
4. Place a thin layer of the mixture into the container. This first layer is not mixed with sugar in order to make it easier to remove the kuih later.
5. Mix in the sugar to the remainder of the coconut-flour-salt mixture.
6. Add the remainder of the mixture into the baking container. Make sure it is full and even, but no need to press the mixture.
7. Bake in the oven under medium heat until you see a yellow tinge.

Farfalle

Made some farfalle - I was intrigued by the prettiness of the shape. It's hard work though, all for the sake of the jagged edges. I cleaned out my old craft scissors to do the cutting. Now I realised that the commercial pasta only has jagged edges on the ends of the 'bows'. Not the other side! Well, I may not make this again. The middle of the bow is thick, as expected. So, there's more 'bite' there! But the lemon sauce with cheese, spring onions, cherry tomatoes and lemon zest - that was really refreshing. Uneven sizes and thickness but they still look pretty. Simple lemon, olive oil sauce with some cheese.

The old writers

I first noticed these words in a novel. Only the first three lines as the writer was describing a fear and restlessness but not a seeking of the divine. I looked for them later and there they were, in the Service Book in church. Part of the Evening Prayer, it may seem out of sorts for us city dwellers with lights everywhere, all the time. But, the night is still there, darkness still in us. These writers of old, they write so well. Or maybe they just knew their God better. in your mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night

Okinawan Spinach

A friend gave me a cutting of Okinawan Spinach. Yay, new vegetable to try planting. The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynura_bicolor Gynura bicolor, hongfeng cai 紅鳳菜, okinawan spinach or edible gynura, is a member of the chrysanthemum family (Asteraceae). It is native to China, Thailand, and Myanmar but grown in many other places as a vegetable and as a medicinal herb. Since most of the leaves needed to be removed for the rooting, I made a salad. This was a 'Global' Salad with Okinawan Spinach, Mexican Asparagus, Malaysian cucumber and cherry tomatoes, Argentinian blue berries and NZ salad dressing! In future, if I grow this vegetable successfully, I will stir fry it with sesame oil and ginger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynura_bicolor   According to Chinese food grouping, Gynura bicolor is a 'cool' food, so the leaves are stir-fried with sesame oil and ginger (both 'hotter' foods) to achieve a balance.
