Exercising without a gym

[Xtrocious]

Yeah, "Hay Kor" or "Kecap Manis" as mentioned, I cut some stuff off.

Even some have waxed Chinese sausages added, and that is out.

If you cook it proper, the Jicama is sweet enough already on its own,

and I personally feel, there really isn't a need to add those sauces.

Sliced boiled eggs, "peanut" powder, sambal, fatty pork grounds,

julian jicama, mushrooms, etc.....

 

Yes, JP Has a Courts. Just buy one and get it done with.

They're all the same nowadays, Made In China.

 

No "har kor" never mind - just sub with solid sambal - sedap as well

 

Don't really like chinese sausages - very sweet and artificial - so no big loss

 

Thanks for the tips

 

I will go look for Akira then - use it for now until I renovate my kitchen at the end of the year

[Mazdaowner]

Yeah, true, I also used a Akira Microwave, $100 bucks niah, use for 1 and a half years, then change.

Still working, only because lucky draw kana a better one.

consider Akira. Been using everyday since last year end and still works fine. Most impt, it cost 60bucks.

As promised, Fusion Nonya Popiah.

 

[Chickenbackside]

Very interesting!

 

Did you substitute the skin with seaweed? Was it easy to wrap and stay in shape?

 

[Xtrocious]

Hmm...interesting

 

I was expecting you to do an egg skin i.e. very thin omelette and use it to wrap the fillings

Bro MO...u r da CREATIVE chef!!!

 

I was expecting to see thin egg wrap too...n u surprised us with seaweed!

[Mazdaowner]

Yes bro, skin was seaweed, staying in shape no issue, very easy to roll,

trick was, seaweed bit on teh crispy side, opne bag and let it sit for 5 mins in

normal room humidity, and it will start to absorb moisture, making it soft and manageable

(sound like some hair shampoo advert tag line!) then roll away. Even in the real popiah,

you need a very sharp knife to do the slicing. Tastes a bit like a sushi Maki roll, with

the nonya popiah filling, but overall, went down very well with my family,

and also VERY filling, like a ton of bricks. I had 4 and I was packed.

 

And yes, full of fat, pork fats, pork oil, fried lard etc.... wanna know what I added, Ask.

Using eggs as the skin would result in a huge amount of eggs and too much time taken

just to make this dish. Eggs also will break when you roll to some extent.

Kumsia Bro Ah Leon, when you set your mind to it, you can come out with

a lot of possibilities and answers to a problem. Give it a go, btw folks,

the Jicama aka Mung Kwang, no need to fry and stew till soft etc... use a slow

cooker, the one with the earthen pot, add ingredients in that you pan friend, and the jicama,

just a small cup of water, yes very small cup and set to high and let the pot do the rest.

after stewing for like 4-5hrs, I left the pot to cool down, before transferring the whole pot into the chiller,

for 2 days to let the ingredients soak up whatever stew that came out. Thus making it dryer and

easier to use in a wrap, if too watery, the warp will be saturated, and break in the process.

 

Cook over the weekend, eat during the weekday, no hassle, no fuss.

 

Note: No sugars, sauces were used. My leftover chicken rice chilli came in handy,

made one big bottle the other time, and used it for the popiah as well, take a small dish worth out,

squeeze a bit of lemon juice over, mix, then spread into the seaweed as you would in a normal popiah

with sambal balachen, then load on the rest and roll. Taste wise, you try and tell me.

do you guys use bodyspace? becos if you go there, the information there is quite good

Edited August 25, 2010 by Ithunk

[Mazdaowner]

Yes, been there a long time ago, one thing is, it's meant for Caucasian diets,

and some of the stuff are not readily available here. Personally I'd go with changes

and modifications to our Asian foods, to suit the local pallet. I had tuna for so long a time,

I felt like a dolphin! Also, in this diet, bread is a no no.

 

Tracking one's progress, again, personally, take a photo before, and thereafter every 2 weeks,

and you will see the vast differences instead of measuring etc.. which can varies from the spot you last measured

to where you're measuring now, tightness of the tap etc.. what you really want is to SEE results.

 

Change in food menu, modifying dishes, makes it more fun for me.
