Sweet Potato souffle'

Sweet potato souffle'

My Chef told me if you want pretty dessert that would delight our guest, it should be soufflé. Because it puffed nice, straight and with elegance. Some people think souffle is too complicated to make which  for me is not. Its just merengue, pastry cream and flavouring folded together and bake in the oven for several minutes. I don't think that's difficult.

 Here is my own recipe of Souffle.
Serves 4 ramekin

Ingredients are:
2 large  Yam potato, Boiled until tender
4 large eggs, separated
1 cup milk, warmed
5 Tblsp Caster sugar
1 Tblsp  Plain flour

*When yam is soft, sieve it to get 170 grams of pureed' yam. set aside and cool to room temperature
*In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk 4 egg yolks and sugar  together until thick and pale yellow colour and sprinkle flour, whisk again to avoid lump. Now add half cup of warmed milk. Whisk vigorously to prevent lump and scorching from the bottom of the pan. Add the remaining milk bit by bit , whisk until the mixture becomes thick. Fold the yam puree'. Cool to room temperature.

For Mirengue

2 egg whites
4 Tblp white sugar
2 pinch cream of tartar (optional)

*Whisk egg whites until bubbly,Add cream of tartar, add sugar 1 tablespoon one at a time. make sure sugar is dissolve before you make an addition. whisk until mirengue is hard peak.

 Assemble:
 Preheat oven to 180C

Butter 4 ramekins cover each with caster sugar- Set this aside

Carefully fold 1/3 of the mirengue mixture to yam pastry cream. Blend well. Now work quickly as meringue is easy to deplete, add the remaining meringue and fold gently until just blended. do not over mix. Spoon mixture into prepared ramekins. Smooth the top with spatula, run your thumb tip around the edge of ramekins Set them in prepared tray. Give each enough space so they won't stick together when they are cooking. Bake in Pre-heated oven for 12-15 minutes until it puffed nicely and has a golden crust on top.  Take them out of the oven,sprinkle with icing sugar. Serve immediately

Canada Day 2013

As we celebrate Canada day, me and my friend Dhan decided to cook special Barbeque lunch at the picnc area.The day before celebration we headed to supermarket to buy the stuff that we will going to use. I have a plan to make Pork BBQ skewer "Filipino style" and sweet and spicy Spaghetti meat sauce while Dhan was assigned to make Fish dishes and sandwiches and some nibbles for the kids. So, here are some picture of what we had.

The Pinoy style Pork BBQ

In order for Pork to achieved its Golden colour and awesome flavour, I had to marinate them in Banana Catsup, little soy sauce, sugar,lime juice, white pop such as 7up or sprite ( if you don't like too sweet from the pop, you may substitute soda water or any kind of clear stock or consommé will do) salt and pepper, minced garlic and chop red onion. Marinating overnight would be recommended and the marination would be great basting as well.

Spaghetti Meat sauce

The Filipino all time Favourite pasta. Loved by the filipinos especially kids. The sauce is sweet and spicy but i made this sweeter.

Dhan's steamed tilapia with spices

Fish was seasoned very well, moist and sweet. It was seasoned with garlic, thyme, salt and dash of black pepper wrapped in tin foil and then steam. The Perfect pair of rice and stir fry vegetables

Lechon Kawali or  Deep fried pork belly

This was just awesome. whoever brought this, they are amazing. Pork belly was just perfectly cooked. Soft, tender and very moist meat and super crunchy skin. Unfortunately Liver sauce was missing.

Store bought fruit Platter

Fruit Plate for a refreshing dessert

Beef Burger with Sunflower essence.

Canadian Beef Burger with tomato slices and lettuce courtesy of Mr. Cesar Vergara. Storebought  Burger patties with a hint of sunflower with slice tomato and shredded romaine lettuce, mayo and catsup. Taste so good though.

Canada day is definitely a enjoyable time for every canadian and other people/nation who stayed here in canada.We spent more than half day in the park and yet a day is not enough for us. Indeed, we enjoy the foods so much and we had so much fun as well. Until next canada day folks!

HAPPY CANADA DAY EVERYONE!!!!
