Mi Goreng Guna Noxxa Pressure Cooker

Experiment seterusnya buat mi goreng. Mula2 nk buat bihun tp mcm portion xckup. Terima kasih rakan2 FB yg share cara2 sblm ni. Berikut cara saya: 

1. On Stir Fry mode: Tumis bahan yg berkaitan, letak bahan sos, garam, lepas bahan tumis ready. 

2. Then saya  on Steam Mode 2 mins, masukkan mi kering dan air secawan. (mula2 nak hp tp tkt hancur, pastu rasa nk tgk tekstur mi lepas 2 minit mcmna)

3. Saya release steam dan buka penutup, bhgian atas mi masih keras ckit. Saya kacau bagi rata, rasa sos utk ckupkan apa yg kurang, masukkan sayur dan tambah air sedikit dan on Steam mode 1 min.

4. Lepas buka penutup, saya kacau rata mi dan sememangnya ckup lembut dan x hancur. Cuma sebab masih basah2 dan saya nak dia lebih kering, saya on mode Stir Fry. (mungkin lain kali xperlu tambah air dah utk step before ni)

 

P/s: klo suka mee kenyal2, mybe Steam mode pertama 1 minit dan yg kedua lepas kacau rata, buat lg 1 minit. 

How To Bake Cookies using Noxxa Pressure Cooker

I am not a baker or a cook but this MCO turns me into one.

Mama bought me Noxxa pressure cooker as a present last year when she stayed with me in Kuching for nearly a month. We used once for the meat stock and soup. Since then, the pressure cooker was safely kept in the box. 

What inspired me to use it recently? Definitely the Movement Control Order (to cope with Covid 19) has contributed to it. First personal attempt happened when my husband and I used it to make a sumptuous beef soup. The meat was so tender and it took us only 40 minutes.

The second attempt was yesterday when husband cooked a batch of tapioca. Again, it took only a short time as compared to conventional stove.

The third attempt was done right after that when I decided to try the recipe I saw on FB. So, after contemplating which recipe to use, I decided to just give it a go. My sharing this time is not about the recipe but my experience on using the pressure cooker to bake cookies.

Here goes my sharing:

First experiment :

I moulded my cookies batter and started to arrange them in the pot and ensuring there's some space for them if they expand more. I pressed the cake/bake button and set the time for 15 mins. Once the Pc beeped, we excitedly took off the cover and tried to scoop out one piece but to my dismay, it crumbled. The texture was soft as informed by the person who shared the how-tos but I guessed mine was too soft or not fully baked yet. We let it cool off for 5 mins and got the cookies on a tray. Still soft but after they were cool, they turned crunchy but easily crumbled. 

Second experiment: For the second batch, I did the same procedures but this time around, I decided to wait 10 mins after the PC let off its beeping sound and only took off the cover later. Hmm the texture of the cookies turned out better, easier to scoop but still soft in the middle which probably because they were still hot. 

Third experiment : For the third till fifth batches, I decided to press the cake/bake button and increase the timer to 20. Once the PC beeped, I waited 10 mins more and voilà, the cookies were so tasty in terms of taste and texture! In fact, they tasted like they were out of oven 😋. 

The pros of using Noxxa PC is the house is free from the heat that you usually experience when using the oven and less messy too.

The cons is it is time consuming as it took longer time than I expected. Because I'm using the latest version of Noxxa PC, I actually have less references to explore more on cooking/baking so I somehow had to experiment on which method is more suitable. 

So, would I be using Noxxa pressure cooker for cookies baking in the future? Hmm probably not or I should experiment on cakes but then again, it is a good option if you don't have an oven or you don't want to feel the prolonged heat from the oven around the house.

                  Cookies were fully baked

       There's timer once the PC beeped           which I'm still figuring what it is for

                           Yeay done!

But as I write this, the WHOLE WORLD is also experiencing the same situation or worse. And all we can do is watch, pray and wait for the healing of our world!

Why, you ask, do I write this status?
One day it will show up in my memory feed, and it will be a yearly reminder that life is precious and not to take the things we dearly love for granted.

We have so much! 
Be thankful. Be grateful.
Be kind.

Copy and paste.

Over sensitive

We spent some time together last afternoon
While massaging her aching toenails,
I lazily tried to distract her with mundane stories
Then, she cried out in pain when I hit the parts connected to the joint
I continued, feeling as if it was normal

She said something which made me stop
I felt it direct to my heart
I felt it right to the core of my soul

"Kakak sayang mama? Kakak sayang mama banyak mana?"
"Sayangla..banyaaaaakkk."
"Kakak sayang mama banyak ke adik sayang mama banyak?"
" Mama rasa?"
"Emm....kakak sayang mama lebih."

Those were just bits and pieces of our talk.
I know I am not showing enough love and affection to her
I know I'm not the perfect daughter nor am I a good one
But somehow she knows that I love her more
And that very night, I feel like I'm missing her so much though we were simply separated by a room and some doors
I feel like I want to cry in her lap and sleep with her, just like we used to

If only it can be done without any other constraints
If only...
