## The Magic Behind the Barbecue

Barbecuing reminds me of childhood memories either of going to the beach or going to birthday parties.

We got inspired by Chef RV's Easy Barbecue recipe to help bring us back to those memories.

## Ingredients

- Pork Meat (tender part): 1000 grams
- Soy Sauce: ½ cup (118 grams)
- Pineapple Juice: ¼ cup (59 grams)
- Rock Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Ground Black Pepper: ½ teaspoon
- Pounded Garlic: 2 tablespoons
- Brown Sugar: ½ cup (110 grams)

## Peanut BBQ Sauce

- Soy Sauce: ¼ cup (59 grams)
- Banana Catsup: ¼ cup (59 grams)
- Peanut Butter: ¼ cup (64 grams)
- Brown Sugar: ¼ cup (55 grams)
- Water: ¼ cup (59 grams)

## The Marinating Magic

Marinating the pork overnight is the key to unlocking the flavors. Pineapple juice acts as a natural tenderizer, while the combination of soy sauce, rock salt, black pepper, garlic, and brown sugar creates a rich and flavorful marinade.

## Tips and Tricks

- Include garlic skin in the marinade for added aroma.
- Soak the barbecue sticks in water to prevent burning during grilling.
- Marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight for the best results.

## Skewing and Grilling: The Heart of Barbecue

Skewing the meat properly ensures that it stays moist and meaty. Compressing the meat on the skewer makes it more succulent. Grilling on medium flame for 4-5 minutes per side gives the perfect texture.

## Sauce Preparation

The sauce is a blend of peanut butter, water, brown sugar, banana ketchup, and soy sauce. Boil the ingredients together, and the peanut butter will naturally thicken the sauce.

## Serving Suggestions

Serve the barbecue with rice and a side of peanut barbecue sauce. This dish pairs well with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.

## Ingredient Substitutes

- Substitute pineapple juice with lemon juice for a tangy flavor.
- Use honey instead of brown sugar for a natural sweetness.

## Quick and Easy Weeknight Meal

We got inspired so much by Korean culture. It's also taking over our kitchen!

We discovered Aaron and Clair's YouTube channel and fell in love by their mastery of quick and easy meals.

Here, we share our version of their quick and easy 15-minute Korean Chilli Garlic Noodles.

## Ingredients

### For the Noodles

- 200g noodles

### For the Stir-Fry

- Bunch green onions, chopped
- 15 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/2 tsp ginger, chopped
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 200 grams ground pork

### For the Sauce

- 2-3 tablespoons Gochugaru
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine

### For the Garnish

- 2 baby Bok Choy (approximately 140g)
- Sesame seeds to garnish

## Creating Your Korean Noodle Masterpiece

1. Cook the noodles as per the instructions. Drain them, then invite them into the pan, tossing together with the sauce and pork mince.
2. Slice your green onions, separating the white part from the green. The white part will form part of your sauté, while the green will be used for garnishing later.
3. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the white parts of the green onions with the garlic and ginger. Allow these ingredients to dance together, their flavors melding and caramelizing.
4. After around 2-3 minutes, add the ground pork to the mix. Stir it all together until the pork is cooked through, but not dry.
5. Create the sauce. Mix together the Gochugaru, sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and Shaoxing wine. Add this to the pan, reduce the heat to a low simmer to prevent the chillies from burning.
6. While your sauce is simmering, blanch the Bok Choy in boiling water for a quick minute. Set it aside; it will make a grand entry later.
7. The final act involves plating your dish. Serve the noodles with the Bok Choy, sprinkle with the green parts of the green onion and a shower of sesame seeds.

## The Nutritional Breakdown

For a serving size of around 200g:

- Calories: 450 kcal
- Carbohydrate Content: 50g
- Cholesterol Content: 80mg
- Fat Content: 20g
- Protein Content: 25g
- Saturated Fat Content: 5g
- Sodium Content: 800mg

- Trans Fat Content: 0g
- Unsaturated Fat Content: 10g

Please remember that these are approximate values and actual numbers may vary based on the specific brands of ingredients used.

## Ingredient Substitutes

- If you cannot find Gochugaru, why not try making this dish with mild paprika powder. Be sure to taste the paprika to be sure you can take the heat.
- Instead of ground pork, you can make this dish with ground chicken breast or ground beef.
- If you don't have green onions, it's fine to use just plain yellow onions.
- If you cannot find some Asian flat noodles, you can substitute fettucini, tagliatelle, or linguini.

## Perfect Pairings

Korean Chili Garlic Noodles pair well with a variety of Korean side dishes, or "banchan," like kimchi, radish pickles, or a simple cucumber salad. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside Korean BBQ meats or a refreshing cold tofu salad.

## Taking Your Noodles to the Next Level

- Use as much garlic as you want! Apparently in Korea, this is the way they do it and the dishes tastes so good.
- Try to test if you can take the heat of Gochugaru. If you are not used to super spicy food, be sure to get the mild version like Deol-Maewoon Gochugaru.
- If you don't have Gochugaru, why not try to use Paprika as a substitute. Be careful as there are some types of paprika that can also be very chili.
- As Aaron warned in the video, if you think that your chilies are burning, turn down the heat and continue cooking the pork and chili sauce mixture.
- For a more authentic Asian version, try to find some hand cut noodles.
- Add a dash of black vinegar as suggested by Claire to add a bit of acidity to the dish and makes it even more delicious.
- If you want more spice in your dish, you can add some Lao Gan Ma or some chili sauce.
- Adding a dash of sesame oil to this dish will make this dish even better.

## What Can I Serve with this Dish?

- To add a bit more fibre into your meal, serve this dish with some steamed vegetables like broccoli and carrots.
- Adding a bit of sliced mushrooms into the sauce will add a bit more variety to the dish.
- Why not try having the pork sauce with some lettuce cups or fresh spinach leaves
- This dish will go well with some Thai Basil leaves
- Pickled vegetables and Kimchi will also work well as a side dish.

## FAQs

### Can I use chicken instead of pork?

Absolutely! Feel free to substitute the pork with chicken, tofu, or even shrimp. Each protein will give the dish a unique twist.

### I can't handle too much spice. Can I still make this dish?

Of course, you can! Simply adjust the Gochugaru to your preference. Start with a small amount and gradually add until you reach your desired level of heat.

### What can I use instead of Shaoxing wine?

A good substitute for Shaoxing wine is dry sherry. If you prefer a non-alcoholic option, you can use apple juice or white grape juice mixed with a splash of vinegar.

### Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Yes, you can, but it's best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead, consider cooking the sauce and noodles separately, then combine and reheat them when you're ready to serve.

### How do I store leftovers?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They'll be good for about two days. To reheat, simply toss them in a pan over medium heat until warmed through.

### Can I use other types of noodles?

Yes, you can experiment with different types of noodles like Udon, Ramen, or even Italian pasta. The sauce is versatile and goes well with any of them.


Get ready for an explosion of bold and spicy flavours with this Korean Chili Garlic Noodles. Simply stir fry the pork, add the sauce and noodles then enjoy!

## Method for Matcha White Chocolate Brownies with Tahini Swirl

Follow these simplified steps to create your scrumptious Matcha White Chocolate Brownies with Tahini Swirl using the updated ingredient list:

2. Melt the white chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, add half of the white chocolate chips (37.5g). Set aside.
3. Brown the butter: In a small saucepan, melt and brown the butter, ensuring it doesn't burn. Once it turns light brown and nutty, pour the browned butter over the white chocolate chips. Let it sit for 3 minutes, then stir to melt the chocolate.
4. Mix wet ingredients: Add the dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and half of the tahini (30g) to the butter and chocolate mixture. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes.

6. Blend in the egg: After the butter mixture has cooled for at least 10 minutes, mix in the egg until well combined. Continue beating for another minute to incorporate air into the batter.
7. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula until just combined, avoiding overmixing. Fold in the remaining white chocolate chips (37.5g) and evenly press the dough into the lined baking pan.
8. Prepare the tahini swirl: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining tahini (30g) and honey until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to prevent seizing. Spoon 9 dollops of the tahini mixture over the top of the brownies.
   9.Create the swirl: Using a sharp knife, cut through the tahini dollops, creating a swirl pattern on the surface of the brownies.
9. Bake and cool: Bake the brownies for 27-28 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the top is set but still soft. Remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan, allowing them to cool completely. Cut them into 12 squares and serve.

## Unraveling the Magic of Milk Bread Rolls

Milk Bread Rolls, a staple in many Asian bakeries, is known for their soft, fluffy texture and subtly sweet taste. These heavenly rolls are a perfect addition to your breakfast table, or a midday snack that pairs delightfully with a cup of tea or coffee.

## What Makes Milk Bread Rolls So Special?

The secret to these rolls' irresistible allure lies in a simple yet ingenious technique called 'Tangzhong', a water roux method that yields a light, fluffy and moist bread. The use of sweetened condensed milk further enhances the flavor, creating a delightful treat that will make you the star baker of your home.

## Ingredients

- 300g bread flour
- 140ml whole milk
- 7g or 1 packet instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 80g sweetened condensed milk
- 60g unsalted butter
- 1 large egg

## Method

### Tangzhong Preparation

To kick things off, we need to prepare the Tangzhong. This involves combining about 30g or 1/4 cup of the flour with the milk in a saucepan. Stir continuously over medium heat until it slightly thickens and the temperature reaches around 65C or 150F. Once done, cover with a lid and let it cool at room temperature.

### Laying The Foundation

Here's a neat trick to ensure your baking success: Make sure all your ingredients, especially the eggs and butter, are at room temperature (about 30C or 86F). This helps the dough to combine more effectively.
Next, combine the remaining flour, Tangzhong, condensed milk, yeast, and sugar in a food processor equipped with a dough hook and mix until combined.

### Working the Dough

It's time to get your hands dirty! Add the salt and butter and continue to knead until the dough becomes elastic. You'll know you've hit the sweet spot when the dough forms an almost thin film without breaking when stretched. This kneading process will take around 20 minutes, depending on your machine.

### Rise

Let the dough rise for about 4 hours or overnight at room temperature until it doubles in size.

### Shaping the Rolls

After the dough has risen, punch it down and start forming balls weighing 50g. Dust with flour, then arrange in a baking tin lined with parchment paper. Let these rise for another 1-2 hours or longer until they double in size.

### Baking to Perfection

Brush the rolls with a beaten egg before baking them at 170C or 340F for around 20 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.

## Possible Ingredient Substitutes

Can't find all the ingredients? No worries, here are some possible substitutes:

- Bread Flour: You can substitute bread flour with all-purpose flour, but remember that bread flour gives the rolls a fluffier texture due to its higher protein content.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: In case you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can use a combination of milk and sugar.

## Serving Suggestions for Milk Bread Rolls

Milk Bread Rolls are versatile and pair well with a variety of dishes. They can be enjoyed with a smear of butter, dollop of jam, or a slather of cream cheese for a delightful breakfast. You can also turn them into sliders, or serve them alongside a hearty bowl of soup or stew for a comforting meal.

## The Nutritional Breakdown

Given the each servig of a 50g roll:

- Calories: 150
- Carbohydrate Content: 20g

Remember, nutrition can vary based on the specific brands of ingredients used, so be sure to check the labels on your products.

## Tips and Tricks for Perfect Milk Bread Rolls

Here are a few tips to ensure your Milk Bread Rolls turn out perfect every time:

- Temperature is key when making Tangzhong. Make sure it reaches around 65C or 150F.
- Always let your dough rise in a warm environment around 30C or 86F. If your kitchen is cold, it may take longer for the dough to rise.
- When forming the rolls, ensure they are of equal size for even baking.
- The rolls are done when they have a beautiful golden-brown color. But don't just rely on the color; tap the top of the roll. If it sounds hollow, they're done.

## Top Tips and Secrets for the Perfect Milk Bread Roll

- Use instant yeast - saves you time for blooming and ensures your yeast is alive!
- Keep all ingredients at room temperature
- Keep milk at 30 degrees Celsius. Any hotter and the yeast will die!
- Be sure to test for the consistency of the dough after kneading. Look out for the window pane effect.
- Do not store the bread in temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius or the yeast will die!
- Use a thermometer to measure the temperature. Luke warm and room temperature is cooler than you think.

## FAQs

### Why Use Instant Yeast

I have bought so many cans of (non-instant) yeast. Since I don't bake bread often, I would end up not using the can of yeast for a couple of months.

Because of this, the yeast has a high probability of dieing. Using instant yeast avoids all of this hassle. Because instant yeast is individually packaged, it will always stay fresh.

### What Makes this Bread So Soft?

More liquid! The more liquid you are able to put into your dough, the softer your bread will be. The dough will be very sticky because of the amount of liquid, but if you use a stand mixer with a dough hook, it should not be a problem, plus it makes the whole process easier!

### What is Tangzhong?

Tangzhong is just a mix of flour and water that is cooked until it thickens. The word Tangzhong is Japanese but the same process is done throughout the world.

### Why Use Tangzhong?

Flour can absorb more liquid when heated compared to being in room temperature. Before using your Tangzhong, be sure it is in room temperature, not exceeding 30 degrees Celsius.

### How to Make Tangzhong

1. Combine 1 part flour and 5 parts water by weight. Stir until no lumps occur.
2. In a saucepan, heat the flour and water mixture until 60 degrees Celsius. Continue stirring to ensure nothing sticks at the bottom of the pan.
3. Take the mixture out of the heat and let it cool to room temperature or not exceeding 30 degrees Celsius before incorporating with the yeast.

### How Long Should I Let the Dough Rise?

Depends on how hot or cold your room is. The colder the room, the longer it will take for the dough to rise. The warmer the room, the quicker. You can let your dough rise in the fridge overnight. Be sure to leave at room temperature before shaping.

For the first rise, the amount of time can be as much as a day.

For the second rise, try not to leave the dough to rise for too long or the dough will be too fluffy and will lose its shape.

### How long do the milk bread rolls stay fresh?

The rolls stay fresh for about 2-3 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

### Can I freeze the milk bread rolls?

Yes, the rolls freeze well. Just ensure you wrap them properly to prevent freezer burn. When ready to eat, thaw them at room temperature and warm them up in the oven.

### What can I serve with milk bread rolls?

Milk bread rolls are versatile. They can be served with butter, jam, or cream cheese for breakfast. They can also be turned into sliders, or served alongside soup or stew.


Let's make some soft, fluffy and absoluetly delicious milk bread rolls perfect as a side dish or a snack.
