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.

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:

Hun kwe (Nagasari Pudding)


















Recipe:
1 packet of hunkwe flour (the one I got from NTUC is 90 gr)
180 g sugar
1 small box of kara coconut milk (200 ml), mix with 900 ml of water (total about 1100 ml of liquid)
½ can of whole kernel sweet corn
1 tablespoon of condensed milk
Slightly less than 1 teaspoon of salt

Optional:
3-4 ripe Pisang Kepok (usually used for fried banana), need to be steamed, then only peel the skin and cut.

Banana leaves:
Need to be washed and let it pass through fire on the stove (to soften the leaves, so, that it’s easier to fold)
Then cut into small size.

Procedures:
1.       Mix the coconut milk liquid with the hunkwe, sugar, salt, and stir. Then put it on the stove. Keep on stirring while cooking. This is to make sure no small chunks will form. The mixture will get thicker. It’s done when it boils.
2.       Then, stir in the condensed milk, and corn.  
3.       Spoon about 2 tablespoons of mixture on the leave, place a small piece of banana, then cover it with another 1-2 tablespoons of mixture, and wrap.
4.       Refrigerate.

Another version is without corn or banana:
After the mixture is cooked, divide it into 2 portions, then dilute about 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder in small amount of water and mix it into one portion. Then spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the white mixture on the leave, and another 1-2 tablespoons of the chocolate mixture.
