Coleslaw

Welcome back! 
Following up on Chicken Tenders on our fast food recreations is coleslaw! This is a great dish that is commonly featured alongside fried chicken whether it's drumsticks, tenders, or a even a taco! (Did you know KFC has a fried chicken taco available in Singapore?) This is a pretty standard recipe, and honestly tastes quite like those seen in fast food chains.

Coleslaw

Makes a lot

Ingredients:

  • Half of a cabbage, shredded (this is about 4 cups)
  • 1 small carrot, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon onion, minced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • A pinch of paprika

Directions:

  1. Chop up all of the vegetables.
  2. Mix together all of the ingredients.
  3. Chill for at least four hours, or preferred, overnight.
  4. That's it!

We tried to add some celery seeds once, but it tasted a little different. Li'l Chefpo thinks it has to do with the sweetness of the coleslaw which doesn't match with the celery. You could totally try it, but be cautious in adding the right amount of celery. because a little can make quite a lot of flavor in the coleslaw.

Fig Crème Fraîche Cake

Fig Crème Fraîche Cake Makes a 9" cake Ingredients: 1/2 pound figs, quartered (if you have big figs, maybe 6-8 slices) 120 grams cake flour 50 grams almond flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 50 grams sugar 60 grams honey 120 grams crème fraîche 3 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier 1/2 cup melted butter Directions: In a bowl, sift in the dry ingredients (cake flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt).

Pearl Meatballs

The name is quite interesting but makes sense: they're meatballs, but the translucence of the sticky rice that coats the meatball mirrors the luster of a pearl. It's often served on special occasions, like Lunar New Year, where everyone gathers for a feast and can enjoy this delicious dish. Plus, it's not even that difficult to make! Pearl Meatballs Makes about 30 meatballs Ingredients: For the meatballs: 1/2 pound ground pork 1/4 pound shrimp 80 grams (about 1/2 can) water chestnuts, finely chopped 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon ginger, minced 1 teaspoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon rice wine 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1/4 teaspoon white pepper 1/2 egg white For the rice: 1 cup glutinous (sticky) rice Directions: Rinse the glutinous rice and soak in water for 2 hours.
