Vegetarian Burger


Burger Bun:
200 g bread flour
50 g cake flour
35 g sugar
a pinch of salt
3 g yeast
160 g milk
35 g butter

One egg beaten, for glazing
Sesame seeds for decorating

Procedures:
1. Mix flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and milk using chopstick
2. Add in butter. Knead the dough until the dough is elastic and smooth. You can do it by hand or electric mixer. I usually do it by hand, and it takes me about 20 mins to get an elastic dough.
3. Leave the dough in a container and cover with cling wrap, let it rise up to double size. This depends on the temperature of your kitchen. If it's warm enough, then it will take short time (45-60 mins).
4. Punch the dough with your fist to get rid of the air. Then divide the dough into small balls, each weights about 60 g. You will be able to get about 8 rolls.
5. Leave it rise for the second time. This might take about 30 mins.
6. Glaze with beaten egg, and spread some sesame seed on top.
7. Set oven temperature to 200 celcius. Bake the bun for 8-10 mins.

Burger Patty:
1 lb firm tofu
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cajun spice powder
1/2 tsp chilli powder
2 cloves of garlic, cut into small pieces
5 fresh shiitake mushroom, boiled, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup corn flour
1/4 cup plain flour
1/4 cup instant oat
3-4 drops of sesame oil
Some white pepper

Procedures:
1. Mash tofu using fork, combine the rest of the ingredients.
2. Shape, and put it on aluminum foil that has been oiled. You will be able to get about 8 patties.
3. Bake in oven at 200 celcius until the patty turn golden brown in color.

Burger ingredients:
Slice cheese
mayonaise
sambal ABC

How to assemble the Burger:
1. Cut burger bun into half, put one slice of cheese on the bottom bun, then spread on some sambal ABC on the cheese.
2. follow by the veggie patty, and spread on one teaspoon of mayonaise.
3. Cover with the top bun. Your veggie burger is ready.

Banana chocolate chips and walnut muffin



Recipe:
55 g brown sugar
50 g butter (room temperature)
1 egg
75g yogurt (can use sour cream as well)
1/4 cup milk
1 medium banana (mashed)
97 g cake flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp vanilla
choc chips
Walnut

Procedures:
1. Mix butter and sugar, then add in egg. You just need to use a hand whisk or a spoon to mix these ingredients. Add salt and vanilla essence. Preheat your oven the temperature of 200 celcius (use upper and lower fire).
2. Mash banana with fork, then add milk and yogurt. Mix to the previous mixture.
3. Sift flour and fold in to the butter mixture. It's crucial not to overmix the flour, otherwise your muffin won't rise and it will be hard.
4. Spoon the mixture to muffin molds. 
5. Bake the muffins for about 12-15 minutes.
