19/7/2017 snoopy bento with minced meat tofu

今天的妈咪有睡迟了~ 昨晚收拾厨房里的一些便当用具到很夜，所以今天的精神有点不足。但是宝宝的食物也不能忽略。。于是快手快脚地做了个简单的香蕉杯子蛋糕，史努比肉碎豆腐便当和鲜橙奶昔给小公主。

Fast hand fast leg to cook rice, put my gal's clothes to laundry, take out minced meat from freezer, mashed the banana, made banana cake, cook the minced meat tofu, blend the Orange milkshake, take out the banana cupcakes from oven, continue the remaining cookie dough from yesterday, shaped and baked, assemble the Bento, boiled the quail eggs.

12/7/2017 Invisible cake 蘋果隱形蛋糕

Good Day Dear All~

WE have a different type of breakfast today. I baked this Invisible Apple Cake for everyone at home.  I would say it is very yummy and the sweetness is just nice as i did reduce sugar from the original recipes from internet. Little Princess is having it at home and mommy is having it at work. ^.^ 

Lunch Bento is simple Garlic Fried Rice with blue pea flower, corn flakes meat balls and soy sauce eggplant+okra.

Teatime today is BLUE also....Blue Pea Flower coconut agar-agar. 

無敵簡單 - 蘋果隱形蛋糕

最近在國外掀起一股熱潮的神奇甜點，原來是指水果佔90%，蛋糕只佔10%的健康甜點。名字來自於水果比例多到把蛋糕都隱形了，超級清爽少油少麵粉，而且無敵簡單絕對不會失敗！ (配方是參考網路上的食譜)

材料：

蘋果2-3顆，香草精一小匙，雞蛋2顆，有機砂糖35克，無鹽奶油20克，低筋麵粉70克，泡打粉1茶匙，鹽一小撮，鮮奶100克

1）將雞蛋打入鋼盆裡，加入砂糖和香草精用手攪拌器拌均勻至起泡。

2）奶油先加熱融化，加入鮮奶和融化的奶油拌勻。

3）加入過篩的低筋麵粉和泡打粉，慢慢加入麵糊裡攪拌均勻，記得將麵糊慢慢拌勻至沒有結塊。

4）烤箱預熱200度，接著用切片器將蘋果削成薄片，放入麵糊中讓麵糊均勻裹上蘋果片，再將蘋果片旋轉層層排列至烤模中。

5）將剩下的麵糊全部慢慢倒入烤模中，輕輕在桌上敲一下以避免小氣泡，接著烤箱200度烤約40-45分鐘

6）烤至表面金黃後，用細竹籤插入蛋糕體若不沾黏就代表已經熟透，出爐就完成囉！

這款隱形蛋糕的口感吃起來有滿滿的水果香

蘋果片之前還隱約的可以吃到烤布丁口感的麵糊

蛋糕表面可以撒一些糖粉/烤香的杏仁片與燕麥/淋上楓糖漿/搭配一球香草冰淇淋是沒問題的喔!

風靡法國的蘋果隱形蛋糕，入口綿軟又果香馥郁！ ！ ！贊！贊！贊！

什麼是丙烯酰胺（Acrylamide）

丙烯酰胺是生產聚丙烯酰胺的原料。聚丙烯酰胺主要用於水的淨化處理、紙漿的加工及管道的內塗層等。澱粉類食品在高溫（120℃以上）烹調下容易產生丙烯酰胺。丙烯酰胺可見於吸煙、經高溫加工處理的澱粉食品及飲用水中。 2002年4月瑞典國家食品管理局和斯德哥爾摩大學研究人員率先報導，在一些油炸和燒烤的澱粉類食品中檢出丙烯酰胺，而且含量超過飲水中允許最大限量的500多倍。之後多國家也相繼報導了類似結果。

製作烤肉、醃肉易產生致癌物已不是稀奇之事，然而香港食物安全中心近日發表的《首個總膳食研究報告》卻稱，炒蔬菜也可能致癌。因為在高溫炒製的過程中，蔬菜中的氨基酸和還原糖發生美拉德反應，釋放出令人致癌的丙烯酰胺，且炒菜時間越長、溫度越高，釋放出的丙烯酰胺就越多。

油炸食物會致癌

2012年8月，美國《國家癌症研究雜誌》報導，炸薯條等油炸澱粉類食物會產生一種稱為丙烯酰胺的成分，可能會致癌。瑞典科學家也證實，炸薯條、炸洋芋片等高溫油炸或烘烤的澱粉類食物，含有大量丙烯酰胺，會增加多種癌症發病的風險。

根據目前各國提供的數據，富含丙烯酰胺的食品主要有炸薯條、炸薯片、爆玉米花、咖啡、餅乾、麵包、蛋糕、炸雞等等。另外，世界衛生組織對17個國家的調查發現，人體攝入的丙烯酰胺主要來源的食品為炸薯條16％～30％，炸薯片6％～46％，咖啡13％～39％，餅乾10％～20％，麵包10％～30％，其餘均小於10％。

熱鍋滾油炒蔬菜會致癌

2013年8月，香港食物安全中心發布的一份研究報告稱，在對肉類、蔬菜、豆類及麥製品等共133種食物進行檢測後發現，樣本中47%的食物含有可能令人致癌的丙烯酰胺，其中讓人大跌眼鏡的是蔬菜及其製品的丙烯酰胺含量排第二位，僅次於零​​食類食品。該中心又對22種蔬菜樣本進行測試，發現炒菜時間越長、溫度越高，蔬菜釋放出的丙烯酰胺就越多，加入食用油炒和乾炒的檢測結果無異。

在送檢的蔬菜中，西葫蘆高溫加熱後釋放出的丙烯酰胺最多，其次為大蒜、洋蔥，緊隨其後的是空心菜、燈籠椒、茄子、芥藍、絲瓜、西芹、芥菜，而生菜、菠菜、莧菜在炒製後釋放出的丙烯酰胺較少。

By Dr. Mercola

Acrylamide, a cancer-causing and potentially neurotoxic chemical, is created when carbohydrate-rich foods are cooked at high temperatures, whether baked, fried, roasted, grilled or toasted.

Some of the worst offenders include potato chips and French fries, but many foods cooked or processed at temperatures above 250 F/120 C may contain acrylamide.

As a general rule, the chemical is formed when food is heated enough to produce a fairly dry and brown/yellow surface … so if you're eating cooked foods that contain this characteristic, even if it was once a "healthy" natural food, like a sweet potato, it could be increasing your risk of cancer significantly.

WARNING: Some Potato Chips Contain Acrylamide in Levels 900 Times Over the Legal Limit

Acrylamide forms from a reaction between sugars and an amino acid (asparagine) during high-temperature cooking. While many foods – from coffee and breakfast cereal to bread – contain it, the highest levels have been detected in starchy plant-based foods, particularly French fries and potato chips. The federal limit for acrylamide in drinking water is 0.5 parts per billion, or about 0.12 micrograms in an eight-ounce glass of water.

However, a six-ounce serving of French fries can contain 60 micrograms of acrylamide, or about 500 times over the allowable limit.

Similarly, potato chips are notoriously high in this dangerous chemical. So high, in fact, that in 2005 the state of California actually sued potato chip makers for failing to warn California consumers about the health risks of acrylamide in their products. A settlement was reached in 2008 when Frito-Lay and several other potato chip makers agreed to reduce the acrylamide levels in their chips to 275 parts per billion (ppb) by 2011, which is low enough to avoid needing a cancer warning label.iii

Can You Reduce Your Exposure to Cancer-Causing Acrylamide?

Acrylamide levels vary greatly among processed foods, even among different batches of the same food item. The chemical has so far only been found in foods heated above 250 F/120 C, which includes most processed foods. Basing your diet on whole foods, with the majority or a significant portion eaten raw or only lightly cooked is therefore one of the best ways to avoid this cancer-causing cooking by product.

For the times when you do cook your food, here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Frying, baking and broiling appear to be the worst offenders, while boiling or steaming appear to be much safer
• Longer cooking times increase acrylamide, so the shorter the duration of cooking, the better
• Soaking raw potatoes in water for 15-30 minutes prior to roasting may help reduce acrylamide formation during cooking
• The darker brown the food, the more acrylamide it contains (for instance, dark brown toast compared to light brown toast)
• Acrylamide is found primarily in plant-based foods, such as potatoes and grain products (not typically in meat, dairy or seafood)
• In addition, the HEATOX scientists discovered that you're far less likely to ingest dangerous levels of the toxin when you eat home-cooked foods compared to industrially or restaurant-prepared foods. And when you do eat at home, the best advice they could give was to avoid overcooking your food.

Bento of the day

I baked in 2 pcs 5" round pan today

Banana Cake

Ingredients

½ Tbsp. butter for greasing the baking dish (i didn't)

1 ⅔ cups (208g) all-purpose flour

½ tsp. salt (i put 1/4tsp)

½ tsp. baking soda

½ tsp. baking powder

½ cup (113 g) butter, soften

50g cane sugar

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 Tbsp. cooking oil (vegetable, canola, grapeseed oil)

1 tsp. vanilla extract

3-4 ripe bananas (about 200g)

½ - ⅔ cup raisins (optional)

1 additional banana for topping

Steps:

1) Preheat oven to 175°C and grease an 8” square baking dish with butter (bottom and sides).

2) In a bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder and whisk all together.

3) In another bowl, combine soften butter and sugar and whisk well.

4) Add eggs, oil, and vanilla extract and beat with the whisk until well blended.

5) Mash bananas with a fork and mix into the egg mixture.

6) Add the flour to the banana mixture and stir just until blended. Add raisins, if you prefer.

7) Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with the rubber spatula. Slice 1 banana thinly into rounds and decorate on top of the banana bread.

8) Put the pan in the oven and bake at 175°C until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, about 1 hour.
9) Remove the baking dish from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes. If you don't eat right away, wrap each slice or the whole cake with plastic wrap. Store at the cool place and enjoy within 2-3 days.

今天用了2个5寸的圆蛋糕模，175‘C烘烤35分钟

香蕉蛋糕
材料：
少许抹烤盘的奶油（我没抹油，也很容易脱模）
208g 低筋面粉/普通面粉
1/4茶匙 海盐
½茶匙 小苏打
½茶匙 泡打粉
113克 无盐奶油，软化
50克 有机蔗糖
2个大鸡蛋，室温
1汤匙 植物油（玉米油，米糠油，葡萄籽油）
1茶匙 香草精 （我没有放）
3-4条 熟的香蕉（约200g）
½ - ⅔杯 葡萄干（我没有放）

另外1条香蕉，切片，铺在蛋糕面糊上面

做法：
1）预热烤箱至350°F（175°C），并用奶油（底部和侧面）涂上一个8“方形烤盘。
2）在一个大碗中，混合面粉，海盐，小苏打和泡打粉。
3）在另一个碗中，将软化的奶油和糖搅拌均匀。
4）然后加入鸡蛋，植物油和香草精，搅拌均匀。
5）用叉子把香蕉压成泥，加入蛋糊中，拌匀。
6）把粉类加入到香蕉蛋糊中，用橡皮刮刀，轻拌混合。 （不要过度搅一面起筋）
把葡萄干加入（可不放）
7）将面糊倒入准备好的蛋糕模，用橡皮刮刀把表面抹平。将1条香蕉切片，装饰在香蕉面糊上。
8）送入已经预热175°C的烤箱里烘烤约1小时。 （如果分2个蛋糕模烘烤的话，时间可以缩短，烤35分钟即可），用竹签插入蛋糕，出来是干净的就是熟透了。如果表面不够上色，可以把烤盘移至上层，让蛋糕快速上色。
9）从烤箱中取出烤盘，待凉20分钟。如果不立即享用，用塑料包裹每片或整个蛋糕。存放在阴凉处，2-3天内享用。
