Chocolate Macarons by Jenny Yennee




Ingredients:
80g icing sugar
50g ground almonds
5g cocoa powder
16g sugar
40g egg white

Method:
Sift icing sugar, cocoa powder and ground almonds in a bowl- twice, set aside.
Beat egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer at medium speed, add sugar gradually to the egg white until glossy, fluffy, and hold soft peaks. Add ground almond mixture into the egg whites, and fold briefly, until batter falls like lava, about 30 strokes.
Spoon a small amount of batter into a plastic bag with a small corner cut off and pipe onto prepared baking sheet in rounds, leaving space between the disks. Let the piped cookies stand out at room temperature until they form a hard skin on top, about 1/2 - 1hour.
Preheat oven to 160c, bake for about 15-18mins. When they are done, take the sheets out of the oven and let them cool on a rack. Once cooled to room temperature, your macarons are ready to be assembled.

P/S :
* 5mins into baking, the feet of macaron should appear.
* preheat your oven between 140-160C , every oven behaves differently. My oven 160c is generally good for me.
* You will have to test your own oven and I prefer to stay close to it to watch over your macarons as they cook, especially for light-colored macarons (you don’t want them to brown)

Fish Paste Tau Kee (Beancurd) by Mary Koh


Method:
Fish Paste : Mix all in a bowl:
Dodo fish paste 1 pkt (appx 180g)
4-5 table spoon of plain flour
1-2 eggs
Black & white pepper
Shaoxing wine
Sesame oil
A bit of garlic, ginger, onion, spring onion
Minced prawns (optional)

The Tau kee (dried beancurd) is bought from the dry goods wholesales opposite guan yin temple. It comes in a transparent bag, no name or label, all nicely cut up. You do not need to "treat it"!

Put a teaspoon of fish paste mixture in the center of the tau kee skin, fold and gently use both hand to "flatten" the tau kee.

Deep fry or air fry. I use the former. 

Notes:
* I didnt put a lot of mix per pcs coz I like it more crispy. 
* You can get this tau kee skin from the supermarket, not tat I know of
* I didn't buy Bobo paste coz its too saltish, this Dodo brand is still saltish but its still acceptable.
* You can buy your own fish paste from wet market, its healthier. 
* You can replace fish paste with minced chicken, minced pork just like wanton filling. You can even dice up all sorts of mushroom, sautee with butter!
* I freezed the balance 28 pieces. It can last 3-4 weeks.
