Another attempt to use juicing pulp - apple, carrots and beet root. A little 1-inch of ginger.

This time, I cooked the pulp first with some water, salt and sugar in the microwave for a few minutes. Previously, the raw pulp was too fibrous even after the bread was baked.

Used 1 tbsp of yeast and added flour until the texture was right. A little bit of olive oil. The sugar improves the taste. The natural sweetness of the fruits and vegetables don't really come through on its own. The beet and ginger taste dominates ... next time, will reduce these two items in the pulp.

Ready for first rise. A little beet, a lot of red color!

After about 45mins, cannot see much rise. The pulp is heavy and wet.

Wanted to make two loaves.

2nd proofing, after > 1hour.

First bake in 250C for 10-15 mins.

Flat loaves?

But the yeast has worked, the texture is not dense.

Another pulp bread but just apple and carrot pulp and overnight rise in the fridge. Used less water, so as to cut down on the flour. 1 tbsp yeast, 1-2 tbsp sugar, 1/3 tsp salt, some vegetable oil.
Made the dough one night earlier.

After 2 hours in room temperature. Then, into the fridge for the night.

Took out dough from the fridge the next morning. After 2 hours in room temperature.

First shaping.

After proofing for about 45 mins.

The crust looks hard ..

But the inside is soft.

Next time, can try to make Stonehenge formation ..
Breakfast with truffle butter. Indulgence!

Moist due to the pulp and not that much flour.

Refining the recipe. Pulp: apple, carrot, tomato. Almost 1 tbsp yeast, half tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, some oil and an egg which hopefully will make the mix rise more. I think it did.

Added quite a bit of flour this time - all-purpose, some bread flour and bit of rye flour.

After about 1 hour.

Shaped it without too much handling.

After about 1 hour.

Bottom of the loaf.

Right side up.

It's not a very thick loaf.

Airy enough.

Slices for breakfast.

Spicy Sour Mustard Green Stew (Tua Chai / Choy Keok / Chai Boey)

The elusive vegetable - Mustard Green - only found in the fresh markets (in Singapore), rarely in the supermarkets. There are quite a few write-ups about this post-Chinese-New-Year brilliant recipe to use up leftover meats. Leftover as in roast meats and pig trotter stewed meats that no one wants to eat anymore after over-indulging on rich dishes for several days. So, a genius person of olden days made a stew of these meats with assam (tamarind), dried chillies and mustard green vegetable to absord all the flavour. https://www.malaysianchinesekitchen.com/chai-boey-mustard-greens-stew/ https://www.rotinrice.com/chop-suey-soup-chai-boey/ https://beyondnorm.com/2017/03/19/choy-keok-recipe/ http://www.msyummylicious.asia/2016/02/hot-and-sour-chinese-mustard-vegetable.html I wanted to make this dish but had no 'leftover meats'. So, I started to collect my meats from the supermarket best buys' section for roast spring chicken and pork. I ate a little of the fresh roa...

Homemade Vinegar Chilli Sauce (cili cuka)

Homemade chilli sauce. Simple homemade chilli sauce, similar to the chilli sauce served with chicken rice. For blending: Red chillies - 10-15 Garlic - 5-7 cloves Ginger - 2inch For mixing: Vinegar - 50ml to start with, the chilli sauce should not be too watery, the sour, tangy taste should be there Sugar - 1.5-2 tbsp Salt - 1 tsp Unfortunately, in true homemade style, I learnt to make this from my mum without measurements. Just a sense of proportion that there should be more chilli than garlic and less of ginger. Of course, the vinegar, sugar and salt are similarly adjusted to taste. Too spicy - add salt, sugar. Too bland - add salt, vinegar. Just mixing all these ingredients together is sufficient, no cooking is required. The vinegar, sugar and salt are preservatives. But I always make sure the chillies, garlic and ginger are washed and dried before I blend them. Also, discard some chilli seeds, otherwise, it will be very spicy. For slow consumption, I keep the bott...

Ti wan chye / Di huang miao

Update 26 Sep 2017 Ti wan chye or di huang miao or whatever you call it - this vegetable is very easy to plant. Just stick a cutting into the soil, water it and it should survive. Planted a few cuttings from my supermarket purchase in my prettiest pot! This photo was taken some time after. 31 May 2017 14 July 2017: Before first harvest.
