Coleslaw

Coleslaw is a salad which consists of raw shredded cabbage but carrot is included as well nowadays. I believe most of you had ever tried the coleslaw from fast food restaurants where Kentucky Fried Chicken's coleslaw is finely diced with less mayonnaise taste and Sugar Bun's coleslaw is shredded with more mayonnaise taste. As I'll be trying out lamb chop this weekend, so I've decided to have coleslaw as a side dish rather than boiled broccoli and cauliflower. This is the recipe I've found which is totally perfect for my taste, not so "mayonnaise" with a slight sour taste. Chopping the cabbage and carrot need some time but if you have a chopper machine, it would save up a lot of time. If you're a mayonnaise lover, you could increase the amount of mayonnaise. Try it out!!


Ingredients:
7 cups Diced Cabbage
1/2 cup Diced Carrot
2Tbs Minced Onion
1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Pepper
1/4 cup Milk
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1-1/2 Tbs White Vinegar
2-1/2Tbs Lemon Juice
Method:

1. Cabbage and carrots must be finely diced.
2. Pour cabbage and carrot mixture into large bowl and stir in minced onions.
3. Add in remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.
4. Cover bowl and refrigerate several hours or overnight before serving.

Cornflakes Cookies

Here's another cookie which I've made for Chinese New Year. Although cornflakes were used in the butter cookies as well, but this cornflakes cookie has more intense cornflakes taste than butter cookies. Some people might find cornflakes not nice to eat, cause it is not sweet enough, especially kids. But when cornflakes are used in cookies, it enhances the taste as it makes the cookies crunchier.

Ingredients:

120g Butter

80g Icing sugar, sifted

1 Egg Yolk

1/2tsp Vanilla Essence

120g Flour, sifted

30g Cornflour, sifted

30g Milk Powder, sifted

100g Cornflakes

Method:

1. Cream butter and icing sugar till light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla.
2. Fold sifted flour mixture into butter mixture.
3. Drop mixture teaspoon by teaspoon onto the cornflakes.
4. Shape into balls and place into small coloured paper cups.
5. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 170 degree Celsius for 20-25 minutes till golden brown. When cool, store in air-tight container.
