Ice cream Cake

If you visit my another blog, Seow wei's Daybreak, you will know that yesterday was my birthday, and I bought the ice cream cake as my birthday's cake, but end up it's melted when I reached my home, so today I would like to search the recipe is about ice cream cake, this is what I get, I find this website:

ICE CREAM CAKE | Recipes | Nigella Lawson: Nigella Lawson's official site for recipes, books and latest news

Recipe adapted from Nigella.com

Ingredients

• 1.5 litres ice cream
• 100g honey roast peanuts
• 200g Nestle swirled milk chocolate and peanut butter morsels (or chocolate chips of your choice)
• 1 x 40g Crunchie bar, broken into shards and dusty rubble
• 150g Bourbon biscuits broken up into crumbs and rubble
• 1 batch Butterscotch Sauce plus 1 batch Hot Chocolate Sauce or 1 batch Chocolate Peanut Butter Flavour Sauce

Method

Serves: 8-10

1. Let the ice cream soften either in the fridge for a while, or out in the kitchen.
2. Line a 20cm springform tin with clingfilm, both in the bottom and sides of the tin so that you have some overhang at the top.
3. Empty the slightly softened ice cream into a bowl and mix in the peanuts, 150g chocolate and peanut butter morsels or chocolate chips, Crunchie shards and 100g of the Bourbon biscuit crumbs.
4. Scrape the ice cream mixture into the springform tin, flattening the top like a cake, cover the top with clingfilm and place in the freezer to firm up.
5. Serve the cake straight from the freezer, unmoulding from the tin and pulling the clingfilm gently away, before putting on a plate or cake stand. Let it stand and soften for about 5 minutes before cutting.
6. Sprinkle the top of the cake with the extra 50g of chocolate and peanut butter morsels or chocolate chips, and the remaining Bourbon biscuit crumbs.
7. Cut into slices and serve with the butterscotch and chocolate sauces, letting both dribble lacily over each slice. If two sauces sound like too much trouble - they-re not - just opt for the chocolate peanut butter sauce. It's hard to find an argument against it.

I had been long time not eat the prawn mee, this dish is very popular in Penang, my home town, I miss you prawn noodles ("mee" is noodles), in Johor I also can get prawn mee at the hawker center, but I still prefer the prawn mee in Penang, so here is the recipe I found.

Release the pressure and open cover to add lean pork. Cook until meat is just cooked through. Remove and slice the meat thinly , put aside for use as garnishing.
Using the 500ml water, cook the prawns until cooked. Strain stock and add to main stock, leave cooked prawns in iced water to stop the cooking. Shell the prawns and leave aside for garnishing.

Blend the fried prawn shells in a food processor until fine and using a piece of muslin cloth, tie the prawn shells in and add to main stock. Bring the main stock to the boil and then simmer for 45 minutes. Strain the soup , add rock sugar and salt and bring to a boil to dissolve sugar.

Recipe for Chicken Adobo (Chicken Cooked in Soy Sauce and Vinegar)

Recipe for Chicken Adobo (Chicken Cooked in Soy Sauce and Vinegar)
More picture to show you how to make Chicken Adobo @ Kalyn Kitchen.

Adapted from Kalyn Kitchen

 Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, each cut in half into two equal pieces
1 cup soy sauce (low-sodium soy sauce or Tamari is best, since the sauce gets reduced)
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1 1/4 cup water
2 tsp. garlic puree
3 bay leaves
1 small onion, sliced in large slices
fresh ground black pepper to taste
pinch of ground Chipotle chile pepper (optional)

Instructions:

Trim fat and any unwanted parts from chicken breasts, then cut each in half diagonally to make two same-size pieces.  Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, water, garlic, bay leaves, onion, pepper, and ground Chipotle pepper (if using) to make the Adobo mixture. 

Put chicken in single layer in heavy frying pan just large enough to hold all the chicken.  Pour the Adobo mixture over and cook 10 minutes at the lowest possible simmer.  Then turn chicken pieces over and cook 10-15 minutes more (just until the chicken is barely cooked through.)

Strain liquid to remove onion pieces and bay leaves. I used a fat separator (like a pitcher where the spout comes from the bottom) with a yogurt strainer on top.  Put the strained sauce in a small pan and boil to reduce it until the sauce is thick enough to barely coat your spoon.  (Taste to see when it tastes good so it doesn't get too strong.)

Heat the olive oil in a heavy frying pan, add the chicken pieces and very quickly brown on one side (again being careful not to cook too long.)  Serve the browned chicken with some of the sauce spooned over.
