Bacon Chive Cheese Balls,Chicken, Corn and Tofu Soup,Pumpkin Bacon Chive Cheese Balls This is another version of the Brazilian cheese balls or “pão de queijo”, and of course has an Asian twist since glutinous flour is added to the tapioca flour in order to give a softer and slightly chewy texture. Since the combination of green onion or chives and bacon is so good in biscuits, I thought why not adding these into the original cheese balls…so this new version of pão de queijo was born. These little treats are great because they can be made in advance and kept frozen until you are ready to serve. Just pop these at a preheated oven and they are ready in no time. I have these (all kind of versions) in my freezer year around and some of our friends always request when they come to see us…and sometimes I have the feeling that they are visiting us so they can have some of these cheese balls. I made 3 kinds, plain, bacon and chive with bacon…so it is up to you…but I must admit that after tasting the chives with bacon, the plain ones tasted pretty plain. Ingredients: 4 cups tapioca flour 1 cup glutinous flour 6 eggs 2/3 cup vegetable oil (sunflower, canola or corn) 1 ½ cups water 1 ½ teaspoons salt 1 cup parmesan cheese 12 oz munster cheese (can be substituted by parmesan cheese) 1 small bunch chive chopped finely and sauté in ½ tablespoon oil until golden and fragrant. I used the ones that I have grown in pots, you can do that too, please check Growing Green Onions. 1/3 cup of bacon, finely chopped and fried until crispy. Drain the fat and patch the bacon bits in paper towel to remove the excess of fat. I used the homemadeBacon Bits. Method: In a small pan add water, oil and salt, bring to boil. In the mixer bowl add all the flours and carefully add boiling water to the mixture. Mix gently until most of the liquid is absorbed by the flour mix. Add one egg and some of the cheese, mix until the egg is incorporated to the dough, add another egg and more cheese. Repeat until all the egg and cheese are added to the dough. At this point you can make the plain cheese balls by using two spoons, dip the spoons in the water before scooping the dough. Use one spoon to scoop and the other one to push the dough on cookie sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. To the 2/3 remaining dough add the bacon, mix well and scoop making into small balls. To the half remaining dough add the chives, mix and add scoop into small balls. Leave 1 ½ inch of space between the balls. When scooping the dough there is no need to make them a perfect, once in the oven the little balls will puff up and trust me they all will be rounded. Bake the cheese balls in a preheated oven at 350F for 20 to 25 minutes. To freeze the cheese balls… Place the cheese balls in the freezer and let them freeze for approximately 3 hours or until totally frozen. Remove from the cookie sheet and store in an airtight container or freezer plastic bags. When ready to bake, pop these cheese balls in a 350F preheated oven for approximately 30 to 35 minutes. For a crispy cheese balls, just increase the temperature to 400F for 5 more minutes. Serve hot or warm. If you enjoy this recipe you might want to try the Brazilian version or the simple Asian version. Did you know that pão de queijo in Brazil is a very popular for breakfast or as snack? As a matter of fact there is a very popular store called “Casa de Pão de Queijo” which translates into House of Cheese Bread, specializing with this cheese bread. Thanks for visiting Color Your Recipes…have a colorful day! Chicken, Corn and Tofu Soup This is an Asian inspired chicken soup with corn and small chunks of tofu. The soup is hearty and sooth you during cold days. It sure makes a great meal.

You can call this corn chowder with an Asian touch… By the way, for all my friends out there celebrating the passage of the lunar year…HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! Ingredients: 1 chicken bread cut into small cubes ½ tablespoon olive oil 1 ½ tablespoon corn starch 1 can of corn 2 cans chicken broth of your choice 1 small block of tofu, cut into small cubes 1 carrot cut into small cubes Salt and white pepper to taste 1 egg slightly beaten 1 tablespoon sesame oil Cilantro to garnish Method: Is a small bowl, place the chicken in cube, salt, pepper, olive oil and half of the corn starch. Mix until all the chicken is coated with the corn starch. Set aside. In a pan place the chicken broth and let it boil. Add the carrots, then the chicken. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, add the corn (drained) and the tofu. Let it boil. In the meantime dissolve the remaining cornstarch in ¼ cup water.

Pumpkin Sandwich Bread This is an Asian inspired recipe for sandwich bread using pumpkin puree. The bread is soft, pillowy and stays moist for many days because of the tangzhong method. Thank you all for the nice words of support on my first post as “Color Your Recipes”, you all have been very kind and encouraging…thank you! Before I share this post, as you might know Philippines was hit by a big typhoon Haiyan, and Tina fromPinay Cooking Corner is having a online bake sale to support the victims, please hop to her site for the details. Now to the post…I could not let this month flyaway without posting something with pumpkin…so here I am… This sandwich bread is so soft and cottony…delicious for any kind of sandwich, and because I did not add any spices the pumpkin puree just gives color to the bread which believe me it is very attractive…I don’t know if it is proper English to call a bread “attractive”… it is so good that I already baked 4 loaves of this bread. I use the water roux method to accomplish the Asian bread texture, because the pumpkin puree contains water I just added less water to the dough. You want the dough to be slightly sticky, so the “cottony” texture can be achieved. When baking sandwich bread, In this recipe I used my 1 lb Zojirushi bread machine and Pullman loaf pan. Before I go on with the recipe, the new issue toDesserts Magazine is out…and again it is free for a while…so if you are interested, check on the link, you might find something for your sweet tooth before membership is required in order to browse the magazine. Ingredients: Water Roux or Tangzhong 15 g bread flour 75 g water Main dough 150 g pumpkin puree 2½ cup bread flour 1 tablespoon sugar 2 tablespoon dry milk ½ teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon dry yeast ¼ cup water 1½ tablespoon butter Method: Water roux In a small pan, mix all the ingredients of water roux, place in a low heat and stir constantly until the temperature reach 65C (150F), or if you do not have a thermometer, cook until ripples form. Set aside to cool by covering with a plastic film. Dough In the bread machine bucket, add the water roux, and all the other ingredients, except for the butter. Turn the machine to knead mode until it forms soft dough, slightly sticky. Add more water of flour as needed since the content of water will vary between different pumpkin puree. Add the butter and let it knead until the butter incorporates to the dough. Remove the dough and place in a bowl by covering with a plastic film. Let both dough proof until the dough double to its original size. Knock back the dough and split into 4 balls and let it rest for 5 minutes on the counter. Flatten the ball and shape like a Swiss roll, flat again and roll it again like a Swiss roll.

Our recipe columns In this column, we look back over changes in Japanese cuisine by featuring popular recipes carried in The Yomiuri Shimbun over the past century.

In this column, Tamako Sakamoto, a culinary expert who previously wrote the column “Taste of Home” for The Japan News, introduces tips for home-style dishes typically enjoyed by Japanese families. Taste of Japanese mom Chikuzen-ni Chikuzen refers to northwestern Fukuoka Prefecture. Although the dish is widely known as Chikuzen-ni, local people usually call the dish game-ni. There are several possible origins of the name. One idea is that it comes from “gamekomu,” a local dialect word for “bringing together” various leftover vegetables, even scraps, in a pan. Another theory is that turtle (kame) or soft-shelled turtle (suppon) were cooked together. There are also various views about the roots of the dish. One is that it was a battlefield dish of the Kuroda clan in the Chikuzen district, while another suggests the dish was created by warriors who were stationed in Hakata, Fukuoka Prefecture, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent a large army to the Korean Peninsula in the 16th century.

  • Miso Marinated Chicken,Curry Chicken with Udon,Chia Asian
    Miso Marinated Chicken I had a wonderful week in one of my favorite place…Cancun, as a matter of fact we go to the same place at least once a year…especially when I feel the need to unwind… After spending so many days without any cooking I had to start slowly…to avoid any “shock”. This is a very simple recipe for a chicken marinate…the flavor of the white miso is delicate and not overwhelming. This marinate sure brings the grilled chicken to a different level. It is easy and works great when served with a side of green salad. If you do not have your grill set, you can always pan fry on the stove. Ingredients: 4 to 6 deboned and skinless chicken thigh 1 tablespoon white miso diluted in 2 tablespoon water 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger ½ tablespoon chili oil 1 tablespoon cooking wine Method: Mix all the ingredients together except for the chicken and make a sauce. Cover the chicken thighs with the sauce and set in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Place in a grill until fully cooked. Serve hot or warm. If you enjoy this simple recipe for Miso Marinated Chicken, you might want to check on Miso Marinated Scallops or Speedy Miso Salmon. Did you know that miso is produced by the fermentation of soy? Moreover, it can be a product of fermentation of rice, wheat, hemp, buckwheat, barley or as well as the combination of many grains. Thank you for stopping by Simple Recipes [Dot] Me and have a great week! Curry Chicken with Udon This is one of my husband favorite dishes…he claims that he could eat this curry everyday…I still have to test this statement.

  • Two Loaves of Bread
    Two Loaves of Bread I want so bad to bake a bread out of the bread machine, so I could have a nice and crusty bread. The ones that are soft and chewy inside and has a nice crunchy crust, I took a chance to play with it and luckily the bread came pretty good. I mimic how the French bread was baked by spraying the dough before placing in the oven with lots of water. Since I do not have the French bread/baguette bread pan, the bread was a little flat, but not bad…the crust was crunchy and the bread had a nice texture with holes in it. My next project is to get a French bread or baguette pan Ingredients: ¾ cup of water 2 cups bread flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt ½ tablespoon gluten 1 ½ teaspoon yeast Method I use my Zojirushi Home Bakery, the mini one, which holds approximately 1 lb. Place the water first at the bottom of the bucket and add the dry ingredients. Select the French bread setting, and remove the dough after the second rise by placing in a floury surface. Divide the dough in two pieces, open the dough into a rectangular shape and roll until the shape and size is secured. Cover the dough with an oiled clear film and leave in a warm place for approximately 1 hour or until the dough is double of the original size. Just before placing the dough in the oven make small cuts and spray the dough with lots of water.
