Over the weekend my husband made waffles with the help of our old and faithful Breville Waffle Maker. My boys love to eat waffles with butter and maple syrup for breakfast.
Roti Jala (Net Bread)
I made roti jala yesterday for breakfast. It is a popular Malay snack that is served with curry. Here are the ingredients for roti jala:
Ingredients:
350g plain flour
25 g cooking oil
1 egg
1 tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp salt
200g coconut milk
400g water
25 g cooking oil
Methods:
Place plain flour, cooking oil, egg, turmeric, salt, coconut milk and water in a mixing bowl and blitz it for 2 minutes at speed 4. If you do not have a thermomix, you can use any kitchen food processor.
Next transfer the mixture into a roti jala dispenser bottle which comes with spouts.
Turn on the stove and place a non-stick frying pan over a medium fire. Grease the pan lightly.
Squeeze the roti jala dispenser bottle slightly above the frying pan and moved it in an irregular pattern in a circular motion.
Cook the roti jala on both sides until it is golden brown. Roll them to form a cylinder. It is best to eat them warm with chicken curry.
Chocolate Chips Shortbread Cookies
My son attempted to bake some shortbread cookies and it was really delicious. He added in some chocolate chips because he loves chocolates.
Ingredients:

40g of cornflour
210g of butter
250g plain flour
A drop of vanilla essence
A handful of baking chocolate chips
Nasi Lemak
Nasi lemak is my family favourite type of rice. It is cooked in coconut milk with pandan leaves which you can find in an oriental grocery shop and they are sold frozen. I will cook it in my Buffalo Smart Cooker.
Sambal Ikan Bilis
I love my sambal ikan bilis. Ikan bilis means anchovies and sambal is a kind of oriental hot relish made with vegetables or fruit and spices. But I do not want to make it too spicy so that my kids can enjoy it too. This hot relish goes very well with nasi lemak, which is a fragrant steamed rice cooked with coconut milk and pandan leaf.
Homemade Fried Chicken
For dinner tonight I made fried chicken for my boys. I made my own fried chicken coating in my thermomix. The coating contains all the natural herbs and spices. The best part is it does not contain any preservatives. Therefore, it is healthy to consume.

Macaroni Cheese in Breville Flavour Maker
My sons love macaroni cheese. I decided to cook it in my Breville Flavour Maker because I will only need to wash the easy sear pan. It saves me from washing a few pots to prepare this dish.
Flavour Maker comes with an easy sear pan. I was able to sear the bacon bits in this pan over the stovetop and then once the searing process is done, I place back the sear pan into the slow cooker base and start the slow cooking function.

Easy Peasy Fried Brown Rice
In order to make a good fried rice, it is best to use overnight cooked rice. I use my Buffalo Smart Cooker to cook the rice a day before I make my fried rice. Buffalo Smart Cooker makes fluffy delicious brown rice. It has a brown rice function. Therefore, you do not need to soak your brown rice before cooking. I normally use 3 cups of brown rice with 4 cups of water. It takes about 75 minutes to cook the brown rice.
