Ham with Veggie Spring Roll

This is one of my experiment with food and it turn out rather nice, that is, if you like the vegetables I used. My hubby doesn't like ladies' finger and asked me to find something else to replace it. Hmm ... that calls for another experiment. Hey, but it taste great with the tomato!

Ingredients:

• Spring Roll Skin
• Ham
• Tomato, cut into wedge
• Ladies' Finger, top removed and blanched
• Baby corn, blanched
• Egg for sealing
• Oil for frying

How to do it:

1. Place a slice of ham on the corner of the spring roll.
2. Place tomato, ladies' finger and baby corn on the ham.
3. Wrap like you do a usual spring roll.
4. Dab some egg on the edge of the spring roll to seal it.
5. Deep fry till golden brown.
6. Serve with mayonnaise and chili sauce.

Pan-Baked Sponge Cake

* Cake baked using a frying pan! *

I was looking for my recipe on pan-baked cookies and I found the recipe for pan baked sponge cake instead. Since I had all the ingredients required, I 'baked' this instead of cookie.

This result of the pan-baked cake isn't that bad. It's not as spongy. Although the texture is not a good as the oven-baked version, the taste is quite close. Maybe my measurements, using a lousy weighing scale, is not accurate lah.

So for those who like to try baking but do not have a oven and do not want to spend money buying one (just like me), try this. You will be surprised with the results.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 50g Fine Sugar
• 50 Top Flour, sifted
• 15g Butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence (optional)

Items needed:

• Baking ring - I'm using 15cm
• Baking paper, cut to size
• Flat pan

How to do it:

1. Beat eggs and sugar together till fluffy.
2. Fold in the flour till will mixed.
3. Add in melted butter and vanilla essence.
4. Mix well.
5. Lay the baking paper on the pan.
6. Put the baking ring in the middle.
7. Pour the cake mixture into the ring.
8. Cover the pan.
9. Start 'baking' with small fire for about 20 minutes.
10. Let the cake rest in the pan for a further 15 minutes after fire is turned off.
11. Remove cake from ring and decorate it as you desire.
