Resep: Mozzarella Squares - Fried Cheese Recipe



It's just fried mozzarella cheese but in squares. I know that you must be familiar with mozzarella sticks or maybe balls? But here, it's hard to get fresh mozzarella particularly bite size mozzarella balls. Classic rules for making "breading foods", flour first, egg wash, then crumbs. Double coating is very important, also do not fry the breaded cheese right away but put in freezer for couple hours.


Ingredients:
  • 100 gr mozzarella cheese, cut in squares about 1.5 cm
  • oil for frying
Flour mixture:
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp paprika powder or less
  • salt to taste

Egg wash:
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp milk or water
  • salt to taste
Crumbs:
  • panko bread crumbs
  • dried oregano (optional)

Directions:
Combine each part of the ingredients. First, coat the mozzarella with flour mixture, remove the excess flour then into the egg wash. It is important to do double coating (because it's mozzarella cheese, it will melt very quick) so put the mozzarella back into the flour, egg wash again, finally into the crumbs. 

One more thing, put the breaded mozzarella in freezer about two hours. At this stage you can keep it for later. Do not fry it right away or it will be a total mess. 

Heat the oil on medium high, make sure to put enough amount of oil to cover the squares completely or at least 3/4. Fry for about 30 secs to 1 minute or until it's golden brown. Please note that it will be done quickly so keep an eye of it.

Drain the excess oil, place on paper towel, serve with marinara sauce, find the recipe here.

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
