Coleslaw

I am going for a New Year house party tonight and decided to make a coleslaw. I am really glad that I found a recipe which is so close to KFC... if not better. I modified the recipe slightly

Ingredients:

2 packet coleslaw mix (8oz pack) - or you can cut diced the cabbage finely

Dressing
i) 1/2 cup butter milk
ii) 1/2 cup milk
iii) 2 cups Mayo
iv) 2 tablespoon lemon juice
v) 3 tablespoon white vinegar
vi) 1 tablespoon onion powder
vii) 1 teaspoon celery seed
viii) 1 teaspoon salt
xi) 1 tablespoon sugar or splenda ( on hind side, I should have used less)


Directions:

i) Combine ingredients for dressing together and mix well

ii) Pour dressing on the cabbage. You should not need all. Just pour enough to the texture you like ( Some like it dripping wet, some like it just moist)

iii) Chill for at least 2 hours before serving

Miso Soup

The weather has been depressing cold in the last few days. I decided that having cold salad on a cold day is really not appetising...and hence decided to make a soup.

The Japanese Miso Soup seems to be the perfect answer as it is simple and yet nutrious.

Ingredient :

1) Miso Paste with Dashi stock ( You will need to make the dashi separately if you use the normal miso paste)

2) Tofu - 1/2 block. Cut into 1 inch cube (I used the silken)

3) Wakame ( dry sea weed)



Direction:

1) Sock a handful of wakame for 5-10 minutes till hydrated

2) Put to boil 2 cups of water

3) Add 1/2 tablespoon of miso paste ( more if you like it more flavourful)

4) Add the the tofu and wakame

5) Ready to serve when boil

Note: You can add other ingredients such as seafood, eggs, abura-age ( dry bean curd) and other vegetables. I like to add spinach.
