Resep: Baked Mac 'n Cheese Recipe



Pasta is Italian but Macaroni 'n Cheese is American. Cheese sauce made from roux, sharp cheddar cheese, sometimes grated nutmeg included. Some people also like to add dried herbs such as oregano or thyme, to me garlic works really good so instead of adding some herbs, you may want to try garlic. Bread crumbs is just lovely to be put on top of the mac n cheese, it gives crunchy texture. Well, I'm out of bread crumbs at that time, replaced it with grated dry pita bread, yes it works! 

Ingredients:
  • 250 gr dry macaroni, cooked by following the package instruction
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups red cheddar cheese
  • couple cloves of garlic, grated
  • panko bread crumbs
  • bacon or beef bacon / smoked beef, sliced
  • grated nutmeg (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
  • In a sauce pan, melt the butter, saute the garlic and bacon (if you're using)
  • Add flour, mix well, pour the milk slowly to prevent lumpy sauce
  • Add the cheese and seasoning
  • Mix the cheese sauce and cooked macaroni, pour into your baking pan, top it with bread crumbs
  • Bake at 220 C for about 20 - 30 minutes

Alternatively you can also use my Bechamel Sauce recipe, add cheese of your choice, just make sure to add more liquid. I found cheddar, parmesan, and mimolette were great well any of your favorite cheese will do.

Resep: Salmon Mentai Rice | Beef Shirataki Mentai

Image
It's delicious but really I could not finish one portion, yes thank's to the amount of mayo. So, let's just share.  Mentai Rice , it's actually very easy to make as long as you have kitchen blow torch or use the oven to broil the mentaiko sauce. The sauce itself is made from mayonaise, preferably Japanese mayo like Kewpie and mentaiko (pollock roe / cod roe). If it's hard to find then simply replace it with tobiko (flying fish roe). Please do not skip the fish roe. Anyway, I bought the mentaiko from Tokopedia around IDR 270k for 500 grams, that's a lot, I know. Alternatively, take a look at Papaya Supermarket or other big supermarket as mentaiko is kinda hard to find here. I made 3 dishes with this Mentai sauce, the first one is the one with crabstick served with rice that mixed with nori powder, you can also use furikake. The second is nori rice with salmon aburi. Lastly, sweet and savory beef with garlic butter shirataki noodles. Well, the last one is definite

Resep: Savory Waffle (Pepperoni + Cheddar Cheese) Resep

Image
I've made waffle many times, and I prefer of light and crispy waffle to bread-like waffle. Adding some tapioca flour gives a quite significant result, also separating the egg though mostly I skipped that phase. Anyway, waffles are great with syrup, chocolate, fruits, and ice cream but have you ever tried savory waffle? With bacon, smoked chicken, sausage, cheese, or pepperoni. Freshly made waffles are best, when making waffles make sure that you have all the toppings ready on the table.  Ingredients : 1.5 cup all purpose flour 1 cup tapioca flour 2 eggs 1/2 cup plain yogurt 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda 1 cup milk 1/4 cup melted butter 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup pepperoni, sliced 1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced 1/4 cup red cheddar cheese, grated salt to taste few tbsp of water, if needed Directions : For the dry mixture, add flour, tapioca, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl, mix well. In another bowl combine egg, yogurt, melted butter, oil, and milk. Co

Nomz Kitchen & Pastry Grand Indonesia: New Menu

Image
Ones behind Nomz, Arnold Poernomo and Pastry Chef Kim Pangestu. Famous for their sweet treats, but how's the food? At this time, I'd like to introduce some of their new menu. First let's start with something fresh, salad. I've been a fan of Nomz's Tomato Salad for quite a while, now they have two more, Middle Eastern Salad (IDR 80.000) and Fried Calamari Salad (IDR 60.000). Not for everyone, but me as one who really into greens. Calamari salad might suit to people in common, dressed with balsamic lemon, topped with fresh arugula, coriander, and shaved parmesan. My guessing it's balsamic reduction as it's sweeter than balsamic vinegar. Meanwhile, Middle Eastern Salad is actually tabbouleh, usually made using bulgur but they replaced it with quinoa , yes for superfood! Pretty healthy yet fulfill the hunger longer. Have no idea what's quinoa ? Google it, it's 2015, eat your superfood!  Move on to  Nomz Prawn Roll (IDR 105.000) garlic chili prawn, gr
