Hello! Back to share another okara recipe! I stumbled upon this savoury vegetarian okara pancake recipe while Googling – and it turned out to be a very simple yet delicious pancake that is perfect as a side dish with other dishes and rice. Also, unless you tell your guests, I don’t think they will be…

Cheesy Laksa Baked Rice (Made With Leftover Laksa Soup!)
X loves laksa a lot, but because it’s hard to get the ingredients to make laksa from scratch overseas, we stock up on laksa premixes whenever we go back to Singapore. Each box of premix makes enough for 3 (nowadays 4 as I try not to consume so much of the soup), so I will…
Mocha Cake (Chocolate Cake, Coffee Buttercream, Chocolate Ganache)
Even though I don’t celebrate Halloween, I wanted to create something fun for this day. Since I didn’t have time to go to a baking shop to grab new supplies, I baked a Mocha Cake and decorate it Halloween style!
No-Mixer Okara Chocolate Cake [Eggless & Dairy-Free]
![No-Mixer Okara Chocolate Cake [Eggless & Dairy-Free]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/DSC_5686-320x320.jpg)
If you make your own homemade soy milk, you will always end up with a by-product – the soy pulp, also known as tofu dregs or okara. Okara is an extremely nutritious by-product, containing proteins, soluble and non-soluble fibre and isoflavones. However, okara has a slightly gritty texture that I don’t enjoy with my soy milk, so…
No-Mixer Banana Loaf / Bread / Cake with Peanut Butter Swirl
Before going for a holiday, it is a must for my friend and I to purge the refrigerator and the pantry to make sure there won’t be any mouldy or smelly surprises waiting for us when we return home. There were times when we would pass each other groceries that we couldn’t finish (the beauty…
Salted Egg Yolk Cream Puffs
I brought back a new ingredient when I went back to Singapore recently – salted egg yolks in powder form! Salted egg is a preserved food product made by soaking duck eggs in brine or packing them in damp, salted charcoal. The resulting egg will have a white that is salty and a yolk that…
Baileys Chocolate Cake with Sour Cream Chocolate Frosting
Hello everyone! (And hello blog! Sorry for neglecting you for quite some time!) Taking step-by-step photos in the kitchen these days is getting a bit difficult because the driver for the LED lights that lit up my countertop exploded blew recently. Not to mention my camera’s a little cranky too – it’s not able to…
One-Bowl Vanilla Cupcakes with Vegan Chocolate Frosting For Two [4 Cupcakes]
![One-Bowl Vanilla Cupcakes with Vegan Chocolate Frosting For Two [4 Cupcakes]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/DSC08434-320x320.jpg)
I was looking through my old recipes to revamp them and I saw a really old Vanilla Cupcakes recipe blogged 9 years back (my blog is turning 10 years next oh my god!) Not only were the photos horrible, they weren’t even rotated upright (meaning you are looking at the cupcakes sideways)… so they are definitely…
Coffee Cheesecake with Chocolate Ganache
It’s been more than a year since I last posted a cheesecake recipe here! The reason why I seldom bake cheesecakes these days is because there’s a bit of planning involved – and I’m just not a planner person when it comes to cheesecakes. Whenever I have a craving for cheesecakes, I usually won’t have…
Nasi Lemak Burger
When I first read about the launch of the special Nasi Lemak Burger by a popular fast food chain in Singapore 2 weeks ago, I was intrigued but not that interested because I’ve always liked my food in their original form (I’m boring I know). X, on the other hand, was quite interested to try…
Piña Colada Cake (Egg Yolk Cake + Pineapple Filling + Rum Swiss Meringue Buttercream)
Woo hoo~ Today 10 July is National Piña Colada Day! Piña Colada is a famous cocktail originating from Puerto Rico, made with rum, coconut cream/coconut milk and pineapple juice. It was claimed that the bartender of Caribe Hilton Hotel’s Beachcomber Bar, Ramón “Monchito” Marrero Pérez, was the creator of this cocktail in 1954. Another restaurant…
Triple Chocolate Éclairs
Today is National Chocolate Éclairs Day! So… Happy Chocolate Éclairs Day! I recently added the National Food Day (you can get it here!) calendar into my Google Calendar to motivate myself to bake/cook more new dishes and to revisit some of the old favourites that are in a dire need of a revamp (seeing some of the…
No-Mixer Sablés Viennois (Buttery Vanilla Cookies)
I’m back from my holiday! It was my first time to the USA and while it’s nice to visit cities like Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, the national parks were the ones which left the deepest impressions. Will try my best to finish up my Eastern Europe trip (oops) so I can start on the…
Jim Lahey’s Perfect No-Knead Pizza Dough [For Thin Crust Pizzas]
![Jim Lahey’s Perfect No-Knead Pizza Dough [For Thin Crust Pizzas]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/DSC06409-320x320.jpg)
This no-knead pizza dough by Jim Lahey is the laziest and easiest dough that one can ever make. All you need are all-purpose flour (don’t even need bread flour!), salt, yeast, water and time (at least 18 hours), that’s it! It’s also an extremely forgiving dough – there are times when I made it the…
One-Bowl Mint Chocolate Cupcakes (With Chocolate-Mint Swiss Meringue Frosting)
Chocolate can never go wrong for desserts. But chocolate and mint? That’s a double winner right there. I’ve always loved mint chocolate (you know those After Eight and Andes chocolate mint thins? I used to devour lots at one go, regardless of the time of the day haha). Funny though, I seldom baked any chocolate and…
30-Minute Easy Cream Scones
As part of my not-very-working diet regime, I have been eating homemade granola and chia seeds with Greek yogurt for breakfast/brunch almost everyday. But once again, I got a little sick of this breakfast (it’s good to have changes once in a while, no?) and I was so craving for something warm – hence these cream…
Eggless Yogurt Chocolate Cake [No-Mixer, One-Bowl]
![Eggless Yogurt Chocolate Cake [No-Mixer, One-Bowl]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/DSC05978-320x320.jpg)
Even though I had my fair share of sweet treats during our recent 3-week Eastern Europe holiday, when we reached back home, I immediately wanted to bake something the next day (what’s wrong with me seriously!) But there was no egg at home, instead I had a small tub of yogurt stashed in the freezer. After some searching, I…
Creamy and Chunky Mushroom Soup
As I came from sunny Singapore (we only have hot and hotter seasons), the four seasons became quite a special thing after I moved overseas. Seasonal vegetables and fruits meant nothing to me when I was still living in Singapore – we usually can get them all year round. But here, it’s so exciting to know that…
Classic Chocolate Tart
I love tarts – give me anything with a tart crust and I will devour it immediately and probably go for a second serving. But tart making can be quite a chore because of the tart base – I don’t own a food processor yet so all the rubbing/cutting of butter into the flour has to…
No-Mixer Double Chocolate Banana Cake / Bread
To me, banana is a holiday fruit. I only eat them when I go on holidays because it’s a quick source of energy and easy to bring along when we go on hikes. So when the grocer gave me some “free” bananas a few weeks back (before we went on a holiday), I started looking for…
Honey Financiers – No-Mixer, Easy & Delicious Mini Cakes
A financier, formerly known as visitandine, is a small French almond cake that is light but moist, with a crisp exterior. It is usually made in small rectangular loaves, which gives the cake its name financier, as it looks like a bar of gold. Though this mini cake cannot be sold for the same price as a bar of…
Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き Japanese Savoury Pancake) [Okonomiyaki Sauce from Scratch Too!]
![Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き Japanese Savoury Pancake) [Okonomiyaki Sauce from Scratch Too!]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DSC04322-320x320.jpg)
Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き) is a popular Japanese savoury pancake said to be originated from Osaka. There are many variations of this delicious pancake throughout Japan and the world, but in general it’s made with cabbage coated lightly with pancake-like batter. Different ingredients can be added into the okonomiyaki – so you can easily create one that is your favourite!
Matcha Lava Cake for One or Two in 30 Minutes
There are times when I have a lava cake craving but whenever I Google for a recipe, the recipes usually make 4 or 6 servings at one go, which can be quite frustrating because all I need is just one! And it’s hard to scale these recipes down because I don’t want to have 1/2…
Mini Sausage Bread Rolls (TangZhong Method)
Bread-making has always been a daunting task because my bread seldom comes out as fluffy and soft as I wanted them to be. I did consider buying a bread machine but X and I don’t eat much bread so I think it will be underused and a waste of counter space. Handheld mixers usually come…
Opera Cake
Hello! Today I’m sharing an Opera Cake recipe, which is a French cake made with layers of joconde (a type of almond sponge cake) soaked in coffee syrup, layered with ganache and coffee-flavoured buttercream and covered in a chocolate glaze. This kind of cake is also known as an entremet because of the many components, complexity and…
Baked Tonkatsu (Japanese Pork Cutlet)
Tonkatsu, aka Japanese deep-fried pork cutlet, is one my ultimate and favourite food. Juicy and moist pork chop coated with a simple panko and deep-fried to perfection – it’s extremely sinful but also extremely satisfying all at the same time. I found 2 pork chops at home when I was checking my freezer stock, but as…
No-Mixer Eggless Chocolate Cake
Ever faced a situation whereby you wanted to bake a cake but found out there’s no eggs at home? That’s what happened to me a couple of months back when I wanted to bake something for X’s breakfast the next day. But thanks to my virtual best friend, Google, I found an eggless chocolate cake recipe that is…
