Zhuo Niu Zhuo Ma




Holding one job is exhaustive enough,imagine two jobs....haha...Though the second one is borne out of passion,still time,efforts have to be put in,and thank goodness,it is only occasionally,otherwise my lao gong will be a very busy busy man indeed...haha...Cooking and baking what he enjoys,perhaps will be the least I can do...Oops,that makes me sound like a typical "huang lian po",doesn't it?haha...Fortunately,I managed to enlist the service of a reliable babysitter,allowing me to have some free moments of the day to catch up on some errands,meeting friends,pamper myself,to have "er ren shi jie" with my lao gong,afterall,we are a couple first before baby comes along,haha...A time for me to recharge and with some rest,I certainly am more tolerant of clover's whining...haha...That little ger gets bored so easily,I have to think of ways and methods to stimulate her or engage her...While I do not lose my cool easily,I do feel out of touch with the "outside world",facing her day in,day out....We all need "me" moments too,hehe...If I can have it all,why not?

This cake is different from most of the cakes I baked so far,it consist of okara,leftover soyabean pulp...Few years ago,ignorant me will dumped all the pulp away after making soyabean milk...Till I met the school cleaner who was aghast with my actions...haha...Apparently,the pulp could be used to bake cakes,cookies,pancakes,okara cutlets..etc...Rich in fibre,vitamin B,it is a rich source of proteins too...Lesson learnt,haha....Using a blend of organic black beans and soyabeans,I churn out creamy soyabean milk,inexpensive and easy to do...Highly recommended for those who want to make healthy living your style...hehe...Oh,did I also mention that I replace it with my morning cuppa?Less jittery,hehe...

Organic Beans milk
100g soyabeans
30g black beans
sugar to taste
400ml water
pandan leaf
muslim cloth,to drain the liquid

1.Wash and soak the beans overnight.
2.Drain away water,blend it with 400ml of water.Pour it into muslim cloth,with saucepan underneath the muslim cloth.Drain the liquid and squeeze the muslim cloth to yield more milk.Tie Pandan leaf into a knot and dump into saucepan.
3.Bring to boil,stir occcasionally with wooden spoon,add in sugar to taste.As for the pulp,it can be stored in the fridge for two days...hehe.

since you are a full time housewife, why you still need a babysitter? is your husband family very rich? if not, poor thing your husband has to work so hard.
