Pandan Fragrance Bread Made with Bread Machine

Posted on September 1, 2023August 11, 2023 By sweet surrender No Comments on Pandan Fragrance Bread Made with Bread Machine

I think the bread machine and I don’t get along too well. There’s always drama with it. This one here is probably the last bread made with the bread machine. The recipe is from the manual but somehow it overflowed when proofing. I had to remove it and transfer the dough to a loaf tin to bake.

My initial plan was to make everything inside the bread machine as I didn’t want to deal with the dough. Didn’t want to dirty my hands haha… Oh well… It didn’t happen. In the end, I still had to clean up the mess of overflowing dough some more.

Everything was well in the beginning. Then at the last cycle of kneading, the machine stopped abruptly. I didn’t think much of it until I saw the belt residue under the machine. The belt was a goner. I decided to just let it be since the dough seemed well-knead. So I let it continue proofing. When it was proofing for almost 1 1/2 hours, I checked the machine. OH MY GOODNESS!!! It pushed the machine’s cover up and the dough was all over the window.

Left with no choice, I transferred to the loaf tin, and let it proof for about 30 minutes. Then, baked it in the oven. Luckily it turned out nice. The bread remained soft even until the next day. No falling crumbs too. Using bread flour is really important to achieve soft bread even until the next day. Besides that, yeast is very important too. Make sure it’s alive.

Recipe

I do not use green food colouring here. Hence, the green colour of the pandan wasn’t showing. You can add a bit of green food colouring if you want.

190ml pandan juice
1 small egg
2 tbsp milk powder
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 1/4 cup bread flour
1 tsp instant yeast

Let the bread machine does all the work. If you want to bake it manually then bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25-28 minutes.

Lastly, have fun trying! Check out my YouTube channel and My Kitchen for more baking and cooking adventures.

How to Bake or Air Fry Smoked Duck Breast

Posted on August 24, 2023August 11, 2023 By sweet surrender No Comments on How to Bake or Air Fry Smoked Duck Breast

When I first got hold of frozen smoked duck breast, I had no idea how to cook it. I didn’t want to deal with oil splatters so I decided to bake it. You can also air fry it. Just need to reduce the heat by 10 degrees Celsius.

Make sure you defrost it. Then preheat your oven. Bake the smoke duck breast at 180 degrees Celsius for 12 minutes. Then bake again at 200 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes. Lastly, let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes before you cut and serve it.

The temperature and time I’m sharing here are just a reference. Different ovens or air fryers will have different capacities. Do adjust them accordingly.

Easy Kuih Cara Sarawak Style Recipe (Coconut Milk Version)

Posted on August 14, 2023August 11, 2023 By sweet surrender No Comments on Easy Kuih Cara Sarawak Style Recipe (Coconut Milk Version)

I made Kuih Cara again. This kuih is known by many names namely kuih manggis, kuih cara, kuih bahulu, and kuih apam balik. However, I’m not sure of the actual name. I tried to ask around but was given with different versions of names. What is the actual name? Do you know? This version can only be found in Sarawak. It is quite different from those in West Malaysia. This is definitely no stranger to Sarawakians.

Here’s a Shorts sharing how to extract the pandan juice for this kuih. Click to view the Shorts.

Here’s the previous post of Kuih Cara Sarawak Style using coconut powder.

Kuih Cara Sarawak with Coconut Milk (no extra food colouring used)

Ingredients:
120ml pandan juice (blend 4 pandan leaves with 120ml water)
80ml coconut milk
3 tbsp icing sugar (can reduce to 2 tbsp if you don’t want it too sweet)
A pinch of salt
1 small/medium egg
2/3 cup plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
Oil to grease the mould

The method can be seen in the video. Make sure that your mould is properly greased and using small to medium heat. Adjust it accordingly. Every stove is different. I still can’t get the heat distribution to work nicely. Maybe using charcoal as the source of heat will result in a nicer browning effect. You can try this method out if you want.

If you wonder where I bought the mould, I got it from Shopee. I saw them in Super Save, Mr DIY, and some supermarkets too. Those selling pots and pans should have too.

Lastly, have fun trying! Check out my YouTube channel and My Kitchen for more baking and cooking adventures.

LG RELEASES 2022-2023 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

Posted on August 6, 2023 By sweet surrender No Comments on LG RELEASES 2022-2023 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

Company Outlines Its Six Strategic Tasks for ESG Management.
Focused on Achieving ‘3Cs’ for the Planet and ‘3Ds’ for People

SEOUL, 2 August 2023 — LG Electronics (LG) today announced the publication of its 2022-2023 Sustainability Report, officially disclosing its achievements and strategy for each area of the six strategic tasks, which have been carefully designed to realise its Better Life for All ESG vision, to customers and stakeholders around the world.

2022-2023 Sustainability Report

The company is focusing on two major areas: ‘3Cs’ for the planet, which are carbon neutrality, circularity and clean technology, and ‘3Ds’ for people, which are design for all, a decent workplace and diversity & inclusion.

3Cs for the Planet: Carbon Neutrality, Circularity and Clean Technology

This year, LG’s global sites recorded a total global emissions of direct (scope 1) and indirect (scope 2) greenhouse gases (GHG) of 92.7 million tons,* a 22 million ton decrease from the previous year – a reduction that supports its pledge to achieve net-zero (direct and indirect) by 2030.

The company also recorded a renewable energy conversion rate of 8.2 percent. This comes after it committed to only using renewable energy at its global business sites by 2050 and successfully joined RE100 (Renewable Energy 100), an initiative advocating for businesses to convert to 100 percent renewable energy.

The company is also accelerating carbon reduction in the product use stage by expanding the application of highly efficient eco-friendly technologies. Approximately 80 percent of LG’s total carbon emissions come from the product use stage, and includes indirect emissions (scope 3) that are generated outside the company’s operational facilities. Last year, the functional unit carbon emissions of seven major products, which accounts for about 80 percent of the carbon emissions generated during the product use stage, decreased by 13.1 percent compared to 2020. Functional unit carbon emission refers to the value obtained by dividing the amount of GHG emitted during the average period of product use by the functional unit of the product. For example, a refrigerator’s GHG emissions are expressed per liter while a washing machine’s GHG emissions are conveyed per kilogram. In addition, in 2021, LG became the first South Korean appliance manufacturer to have its GHG emissions reduction target at the product use stage (scope 3) validated by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). 

To establish a circular ecosystem, the company recovered a total of 472,876 tons of electronic waste from 52 countries last year. Since 2006, LG has recovered a cumulative total of recovered electronic waste that amounts to 3,992,768 tons. As of 2022, the number of recycled plastics used in the company’s products reached 32,987 tons, 25 percent higher than 2021 figures. What’s more, the company’s South Korean business sites recently received Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWTL) verification. 

3Ds for People: Design for All, Decent Workplace and Diversity & Inclusion

LG has also been prioritising accessibility by integrating voice recognition and voice guidance features into its major products and distributing braille stickers that attach to every LG home appliance. The company also plans to expand the universal design concept – products designed in a way that makes them easy to use by everyone – to all products going forward. 

Last year, the company surveyed its major Tier 1 suppliers about their energy usage and carbon emissions, and then verified this data through a third party. Since this year, LG has been raising awareness among the executives and employees of its partners through a carbon neutrality education program. A total of 152 suppliers have participated in the program as of the first half of this year.

In addition, in accordance with international Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) standards, the company is also providing support through third-party ESG certification reviews to preemptively respond to ESG risks of suppliers in areas such as labor, environment, ethics as well as health and safety. Beginning this year, the scope has been expanded to include partners based not only in Korea but around the world. 

Expanding Role of ESG Committee

LG continues to expand the role of the ESG Committee which reports to its board of directors to internalise ESG management. The committee, made up of 4 independent directors and 1 executive CEO, is overseen by chairman Seo Seung-woo, an independent director who was appointed to the role earlier this year. 

Last year, to ensure transparency in the management and governance of the board of directors and governance structure, the ESG Committee established guidelines for the independence, diversity and expertise of independent directors as well as the corporate governance charter. 

Since 2006, the company has published its sustainability report every year. Starting last year, alongside the LG ESG Fact Book which outlines its ESG management goals, activities and performance, the company has published the ESG Story Book which helps customers and stakeholders understand LG’s ESG activities in a more engaging story format.
