Easy Self-Raising Flour Moist Banana Cake

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Easy Self-Raising Flour Moist Banana Cake

I was given a big bunch of bananas. We made banana fritters with it and still have some more left. So, I made a self-raising flour banana cake with those overripe bananas.

Ingredients:

3 medium overripe bananas (any type will do)
2 medium eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/3 cup fine sugar
1/2 vegetable oil/melted butter
1 1/2 cup self-raising flour

Instructions:
  1. Peel and mash the banana.
  2. Add eggs, salt, vanilla essence, fine sugar, and vegetable oil.
  3. Mix until incorporated.
  4. Fold in self-raising flour.
  5. Pour into a lined/greased baking tray. I’m using a glass baking dish (approx. 10cmx17cmx4cm) instead of the usual baking tin. You can get something similar here: https://invl.io/clltm4c
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius for 45 minutes. It’s cooked once the skewer comes out clean.
  7. Cool on rack and serve. The texture is less crumbly after 24 hours.

Happy trying!

How to Cook Peach Gum in Rice Cooker

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on How to Cook Peach Gum in Rice Cooker

Before cooking the peach gum in a rice cooker, you have to prepare the peach gum and snow nest first. You’ll need to prepare them 8-12 hours before cooking.

For 1 or 2 pax consumption

7-10 pieces of peach gum
1 or 2 pieces of snow nest
5 pieces of snow lotus seeds
3-4 pieces seedless red dates (optional: cut into small pieces)
3-4 pieces dried longan (optional: cut into small pieces)
Brown sugar or rock sugar to taste

If you want to make a bigger batch, just multiply the above ingredients. Or just buy the soup pack that can feed at least 10 pax:

How to Prepare Snow Swallow 雪燕

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on How to Prepare Snow Swallow 雪燕

It’s my first time preparing snow swallow (also known as Gum Tragacanth / Snow Nest / Snow Bird’s Nest) to make collagen soup. I hope this video is useful to you.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE

For 1-2 person consumption, you just need 1 piece. It will expand! Don’t be too greedy! ONE IS ENOUGH! It will expand 30X or more!

How to clean?
  1. Rinse it under running filtered or drinking water.
  2. Soak in filtered or drinking water. Fill the bowl with water to the brim. Use a big bowl or container.
  3. Soak it for 8-12 hours in the fridge or at room temperature. Best to keep it in the fridge if the weather is hot.
  4. Once it’s ready, remove the visible impurities with a tweezer or your finger. Best to spread it on a flat surface. It will make your life easier, especially if it’s in big quantities.
  5. Once it’s cleaned, pour it in the colander, run filtered/drinking water through it. Do it once or twice.
  6. There you go! It’s ready to be cooked.

A Trip to Kyoto (17-24 Apr) – Part 4

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on A Trip to Kyoto (17-24 Apr) – Part 4

After Arashiyama, we headed back to Kyoto and went to Nishiki Market. When we arrived, many shops are closing for the day. However, the crowd was still massive! It was so overwhelming and hard to move around. We quickly browsed through the market and left to look for dinner elsewhere.

We had no idea where to eat. We just walked around. We lost our way hahaha… After going round and round, we finally found the direction “home”. Along the way, we saw some eateries but weren’t sure whether we should dine there or not. Then, we continued walking. Thinking that if we really couldn’t find a place to eat, we’ll buy from the convenience store. Then, when we saw Nakau, checked out the menu and decided to dine here.

After dinner, we called it a night. It’ll be day 3 the next day and another early morning start.

A Trip to Kyoto (17-24 Apr) – Part 3

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on A Trip to Kyoto (17-24 Apr) – Part 3

We ended our first night in Kyoto early and woke up early the next morning. It’s day 2, 19th April.

A Ride on the Sagano Romantic Train

Our first stop was Torokko Kameoka Station to catch the Sagano Romantic Train to Arashiyama. We took a train from Kyoto Station to Torokko Kameoka Station. Sagano Romantic train is a sightseeing train in which you’ll be greeted with different kinds of views every season.

It’s a Hot Day at Arashiyama

After the train ride, we arrived at Arashiyama. We had our meals at Arashiyama. Not a proper sit-down meal as we didn’t have the luxury of time. We just bought whatever seemed interesting for the sake of filling our stomachs.

It’s my second time here. The first time was way back in summer 2018. It’s my first trip to Japan. My friends brought me here. My first cold soba was here too. I didn’t expect the weather to be so warm as if it were summer. It’s in April, it should still be spring, but the sun and heat were comparable to the summer heat in August.

Togetsukyo Bridge & Arashiyama Monkey Park

Togetsukyo Bridge is a 155-meter bridge that was built across the Katsura River. I love the views here. We planned to visit Arashiyama Monkey Park (also known as Iwatayama Monkey Park), but we’re too late. It’s closed. We also just found out that an entrance fee was needed.

We overshot our preplanned timing. Hence, it’s a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, we won’t be in time to go back to the city to visit Nishiki Market. This will be in the next post.
