Airfry Puff Pastry Meals

 Do you like eating curry puffs?  This is the process for making them.

These are the ingredients required:

You can also make this snack when you have leftover chicken curry.  This is how I cook my curry chicken:

However, if I plan to make curry puff with it, I will cook it with extra potatoes and use chicken breast instead of drumsticks.  When it is time to make my curry puffs, I will remove the leftover potato and the chicken with a tong so that I can dice them up.  

Instead of making my own pastry dough, I use the puff pastry from Kawan.  

In one packet there are 10 square pieces.  As I have a stainless steel rack, I do not have any problem airfrying all 10 pieces in my airfryer.  Once the filling is enclosed, I fold the pastry in half and press the edges together with a fork.  They taste alright without the hard boiled egg added.  I will airfry them according to the setting for baking pastry of my airfryer.  .

I can bake this at night if I have to leave the house early the next morning.  The curry puffs can be kept in the fridge once they are cool enough.  They can be eaten for breakfast after heating them up in the airfryer for 3 to 4 minutes.

There are many ways to make snacks with puff pastry.  In this video you can see other kind of fillings you can use and ways you can fold the pastry to bake.

Airfry Peanut Butter Banana Brownies

Airfry the batter in a container at 160°C for 30 minutes.  Top the brownie with dark chocolate chips and a sprinkle of sea salt flakes.

Easy Way to cook Chicken Breast

These are the ingredients required to cook it:

These are the ingredients for the mashed potato dish:

DIY Chocolate Popcorn

I buy nuts and herbal soup from Signature Market.  Recently, I came across their recipe for making chocolate popcorn.  These are the ingredients required: 

-2 Tbsp Popcorn Kernels
-2 Tbsp Butter (melted)
-1 Tbsp Honey
-3 Handcrafted Bellagio Chocolate Beverage powder from Signature Market
-A pinch of salt

Here are the steps to make chocolate popcorn:

1) Cook popcorn kernels over fire till they pop.  Put them aside to prepare the flavouring ingredients.

2) Melt the butter and add chocolate powder to mix.

3) Add popcorn to coat.

You can use unsweetened cocoa powder to make chocolate popcorn by mixing it with sugar and melted butter.  

I read that you can make your popcorn taste even better by adding 1 teaspoon of baking soda which will form tiny bubbles in the caramel to make it airier.  If you do not want your caramel to be hard and dense on the popcorn watch this video to see how it should be added. 

Ways to Eat Nian Gao

I have shared earlier, how nian gao is made and how it can be eaten, deep fried with sweet potato and yam.  These are other ways, Nian Gao can be served.  

You can fold it in puff pastry squares and airfry them, as shown in this video.

Or bake them in an oven.

You can also wrap Nian Gao in rice paper or spring roll wrappers to pan fry or deep fry, as shown in this video. 

An interesting way to prepare Salmon

It will be easier to remove the skin of the salmon by attaching it under the pot cover and heating it over water, as shown in this video. 

I wonder if it will work just as well by placing it on a steamer try to steam.  

Also check out the tips for cooking restaurant style salmon shared in a short video by Sonny Hurrell on his "That Dude Can Cook" YouTube channel.  If you have the time, watch this video for the full recipe.

Based on this video, you place the following ingredients in a bowl to scramble:

-2 eggs
-1 Tbsp Sugar
-150ml milk

Pour the egg mixture in tinfoil containers to airfry them at 160°C for 10 minutes.  Sprinkle the top with sugar and airfry them for another 5 minutes before serving.

In another video I saw on YouTube, you have the option to add a little white vinegar if you would like to neutralize the fishy smell in eggs.  The amount of ingredients to be scrambled in a bowl differs as follow:

-2 eggs
-100ml milk
-a little sugar
-a little white vinegar

The content is than airfry at 170°C for 12 minutes and an additional 5 minutes after topping the top with sugar.

You can still make this dessert if you do not have an airfryer or oven.  You can make it by steaming the egg mixture in ceramic bowls for 12 minutes on medium high heat, or until the egg custard is set, as shown in this video.
