seafood rice noodle

Original recipe soondubu jjigae/ stew tofu lembut dari Maangchi. tapi disebabkan beberapa bahan tak cukup kita tukarkan resepi ni jadi bihun sup makanan laut. Jangan bimbang...kita yang buat dia, bukan dia buat kita.

Rahsia masakan bersup korea ialah stok yang sedap. cara-cara membuat stok yang sedap:

Stock: rebus bilis + onion + garlic + kelp (pakai agak2 je sebab aku buat untuk 1 periuk kecik)- ketepikan stok yang dah siap...tapis ambil sup & kelp shj

Sup:
1.    Panaskan periuk+ minyak........bila dah panas masukkan cili api (potong kecil)
2.     +daging +udang +fishball +kelp~ goreng sekejap
*Cili api-nak gantikan korean chilli paste/gochu chang, fuhh...cili api pn pedas jugak
*Kelp-ambil dari stok tadi, xyah membazir
*Fishball- rebus dulu buang air, nanti air fishball mengubah rasa sup
3.     masukkan stok, biar menDIDIH
4.     masukkan sayur sawi dan bihun
5.     pecahkan telur sebiji atas bihun--> tutup periuk--> tutup api~ biarkan haba dari sup masakkan telur tu 
Ta-da!!! dah siap.....baca bismillah sebelum makan

saya jadi cikgu tusyen

sempena cuti ni saya rasa nak rehat panjang. tapi bila difikir balik bosannya cuti tapi xbuat pape *sy asyik tidur, masak &makan--> sangatla produktif menambah lemak. nak minta kerja kat jusco/ bagus bakery takut deme xnak menggaji pekerja untuk 2 bulan je. senang2 saya & adik pergi ke pusat tusyen di kejiranan kami dan mohon untuk jadi cikgu tusyen.

akhirnya saya mendapat panggilan telefon, minta saya menggantikan Sir yang tak dapat mengajar hari tu. pengalaman mengajar saya sekarang: English form 3 & B. Malaysia darjah 4&5. mungkin sebab dah lama x tengok budak2 kecik rasanya kelas darjah 4&5 sangat la comel dan menghiburkan. budak2 form 3 dah seyes belajar...xde aksi comel2.
time budak2 jawab soklan cikgu amik gambar  :P

cabaran jadi cikgu: 
  1. kalau pelajar dah ada persepsi negatif ngan sabjek mmgla menyedihkan. bukan mudah nak tukar mind set pelajar.
  2. pelajar menengah yang agak lemah & bermasalah sukar nak bekerjasama. pelajar sekolah rendah lebih senang untuk diajak berkomunikasi *umm, maybe coz i think they're cute

hari pertama saya mengajar
  • punyalah nervous sampai terlupa nak explain dulu apa itu Adverb...bayangkan, masuk kelas je terus perkenalkan diri & bagi latihan..then bincang.
  • tersasul jangan cakapla....masa viva pun saya xneves camni

kesimpulannya seni mengajar saya belum cukup haul. tapi saya mahu menjadi cikgu yang baik agar pelajar2 minat & ingat ajaran saya.....mudah2an niat baik ini diberkati. TO ALL ENGLISH TEACHER THAT MAKES ME LOVE ENGLISH~ L'chaim

Korean Dumplings

I love to cook when people didn’t expect me to cook. Hurm, let me put it this way….i can’t cook under pressure. So that’s why entry about cooking only came up during holiday not in the middle of semester.
Today I’m gonna show how to make Korean Dumplings with a twisted Malay touch to it. that means i had remove soy sauce and sesame oil from the recipe....credit to Maangchi, i had fun watching all her vids. So crazy about Korean food right now~ even though my version is not authentic anymore.

Dumpling wrap:
J       1 cup plain flour
J        ½ cup water
J       1 egg yolk
J       2 pinch of salt~ if you’re using Halagel Rock salt coz it’s not so salty
J       1 tsp margarine~ I prefer Planta *but I forgot to put it yesterday

Step by step:
1.      Just mix everything together except water. Water should be pour little by little so that you can see by your eyes if the dough is ready.
2.      Left it to rest for 15 minutes. Remember we’re not making bread so don’t be stressed out with the kneading process.
3.     Divide the dough into small pieces. Use a rolling pin & flatten it into the thickness that you want:
    o    Shallow frying: as thin as possible, just like dim sum wrap.
    o   Deep frying: go with a thicker size, there’s a lot of wave in the oil, you need to protect the filling
    Þ     Substitute for the wrap: popia wrap or ready made wantan wrap. I make my own wrapping just to take pleasure of the process ;)

    Filling
    J       1 onion- diced
    J       4 cloves of garlic-minced
    J       Pepper to taste
    J       4 tbsp minced meat * I personally think chicken goes well with tofu & mushroom
    J       ½ cup chopped oyster mushroom *I hate shiitake
    J       ¾ cup of Asian chives- chopped
    J     1 pressed tofu

    Step by step:
    1.       Onion+ garlic- sauté in a pan
    2.       +minced chicken + some water just to prevent onion burning
    3.       +salt + seasoning-I use perencah Hilal +pepper
    4.       +oyster mushroom + Asian chives
    5.       Put tofu in a cloth and pressed to keep it as dry as possible & mix into the pan.
    6.       Before wrapping, put the filling into a colander to remove excess water.
    7.       Ready to wrap & fry.




      Soup for dumplings
      Stock
      According to Maangchi to make a good soup you must have a good stock.
      o       --> Boil kelp+ anchovies + garlic-crushed+ onion-cut roughly~ done.

      Soup base
      1.       Stir fry some minced shallot+ garlic
      2.       Put in some white & black pepper- keep stirring, add water to prevent burning
      3.       + Stock- let it boil + salt
      4.       Break an egg- done.

        Serving suggestion:
        o   Dumpling to be eaten with any sauce of your choice e.g. sweet chili sauce
        o   Eaten with a soup.
          Hopefully this entry will give some inspiration to a hungry viewers here :P

          painful separation

          Today it’s been 2 years that u’ve left us, and not a single day goes by that I don’t think about you. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross said there are 5 stages of closure. We call it:
          1.       Denial
          2.       Anger
          3.       Bargain
          4.       Depression
          5.       Acceptance
          Maybe I’ve come to the stage of acceptance since I don’t shed tears while writing this entry. So what’s left for me is a memory and acceptance that those memories cannot be photographed again. I wish I have more pictures of you. Even though I was there…I still wish that I could spend more time with you. Coz the day you're gone, I was about to finish exam and planning to watch sunset together.
          I might the fat and funny sister to most people but you’ve turned me into someone that I intended to be….the charming one. Since I’m lacking of acknowledgement right now, things definitely changed. Anyway, I’m always grateful to at least have the chance to cherish a brother like a dream. There’s one thing that bothers me--> am I ever could step foot in oncology ward with clear conscience?

          One thing for sure, i enjoy talking and remembering. Thinking about you'd be happy with my prayers makes me excited.  ~Al-Fatihah

          big 5 result

          What aspects of personality does this tell me about?
          There has been much research on how people describe others, and five major dimensions of human personality have been found. They are often referred to as the OCEAN model of personality, because of the acronym from the names of the five dimensions.
          Openness to Experience/Intellect
                  High scorers tend to be original, creative, curious, complex; Low scorers tend to be conventional, down to earth, narrow interests, uncreative.
                  You are somewhat conventional.    (Your percentile: 24)
          Conscientiousness
                  High scorers tend to be reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful; Low scorers tend to be disorganized, undependable, negligent.
                  You tend to do things somewhat haphazardly.    (Your percentile: 30)
          Extraversion
                  High scorers tend to be sociable, friendly, fun loving, talkative; Low scorers tend to be introverted, reserved, inhibited, quiet.
                  You tend to shy away from social situations.    (Your percentile: 22)
          Agreeableness
                  High scorers tend to be good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, courteous; Low scorers tend to be critical, rude, harsh, callous.
                  You tend to consider the feelings of others.    (Your percentile: 69)
          Neuroticism
                  High scorers tend to be nervous, high-strung, insecure, worrying; Low scorers tend to be calm, relaxed, secure, hardy.
                  You aren't particularly nervous, nor calm.    (Your percentile: 49)
          What do the scores tell me?
          In order to provide you with a meaningful comparison, the scores you received have been converted to "percentile scores." This means that your personality score can be directly compared to another group of people who have also taken this personality test.The percentile scores show you where you score on the five personality dimensions relative to the comparison sample of other people who have taken this test on-line. In other words, your percentile scores indicate the percentage of people who score less than you on each dimension. For example, your Extraversion percentile score is 22, which means that about 22 percent of the people in our comparison sample are less extraverted than you -- in other words, you are rather introverted. Keep in mind that these percentile scores are relative to our particular sample of people. Thus, your percentile scores may differ if you were compared to another sample (e.g., elderly British people).
