Turkey noodles

We made these super easy and delicious noodles and want to share the recipe with you all :)

INGREDIENTS:
Turkey meat diced 500gr
1 tbsp sugar
Broccoli - 1 medium, cut in small pieces
1 small diced onion
1/2 capsicum / bell pepper
Noodles - 1-2 packs, depending on how much you'd like to make
Soya sauce
Fish sauce
Pepper

Fresh cucumber for serving

HOW TO...

1. Heat up a pan with some oil and cook the turkey until golden and cooked through (not over cooked as turkey can get dry and chewy), add the sugar and caramelize.
2. Meanwhile start boiling water and cook your noodles until al-dente ;)
3. Add the broccoli, soya sauce and fish sauce to taste to the turkey and in the end add the noodles, stir and serve.
4. To decorate and serve, I spiralled some cucumber but if you don't have a spiralizer just cut them thinly Julienne style. Top the noodles with them and enjoy!

Anyway...

It was so tasty! Maybe because from ground to plate was so fast! Here it is..

Bread :)

Yummy yummy bread.
F has been attending a Steiner playgroup in Sydney. Every week they make bread and it is delicious! So they gave me the recipe :)
We tweaked it a little and this is what we made:

INGREDIENTS:
1Kg of flour (you can mix and match any kind- we used wholemeal and plain)
500ml of water (@ body temperature)
1 Tbsp dry yeast
1 tsp honey
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp of oil (we used olive)
OPTIONAL:
Oregano
Chocolate flakes
Anything you want to add to the loaf.

1. Put 250ml of the water in a container and sprinkle the top with the yeast to make it bubble and foam (if it doesn't, it means the yeast isn't good and your bread won't rise). Leave for 10 minutes.
2. Add all dry ingredients less the oregano and chocolate flakes and mix in the mixer.
3. Add the water and yeast and knead with the kneading hook.
4. Slowly add the rest of the water until your dough forms.
OPTIONAL:
5. We split the dough in two and mix the oregano onto one batch and the chocolate on another. You can add whatever you like such as cheese, sultanas and nuts, etc.
...
6. Leave in a greased bowl covered with a tea towel at a warm place for it to rise for an hour.
7. Remove from the bowl and knead for a few minutes again. Put back in the bowl and cover with the towel and let rise again for another 30-45 minutes.
8. Make whatever shapes you like and bake in a 180ºC oven for 25-45 minutes (depending on the size of your loaves). It will be ready when you tap the bottom and it sounds hollow.

Enjoy!

AGAIN OUR PICTURES SHOW UP BLACK! :(

Magnolia's banana pudding!

While in NYC we visited the famous Magnolia Bakery and really enjoyed their banana pudding (sometimes even more than their cupcakes!) and had to look for this recipe and make it when back in Australia. Although we could not find the specific biscuit they call for in their recipe, we made changes and used the ingredients below and it worked quite well :)
F, Mr. F and I really love this!

INGREDIENTS:
1 can condensed milk
1.5 cups of ice cold water
1 box or bag of vanilla pudding (in our case we used a bag of vanilla "Pudding Magic")
750 ml of heavy cream
Lady Finger biscuits
About 6-8 bananas cut in slices.

1. Mix the water and the condensed milk until well combined. Add the pudding and allow to set (this can be made and left overnight). Make sure it has had enough time to set completely.
2. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
3. Start softening the pudding mix with a fork and then fold it in the whipped cream gently until they are combined and you can no longer see lumps or streaks of yellow pudding.
4. To assemble: put a thiner layer of cream at the bottom to start, then the sliced bananas and then the biscuits and repeat making thicker layers of cream until the last layer is cream and then decorate the top with some banana slices.

Delicious and easy!
