Wholemeal Steamed Bun (Steamed Bread) & Lentil soup

Brown rice, lentil & mushroom soup. Serve with steamed wholemeal bun.

The steamed buns are made of 500g wholemeal flour, 6g yeast, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons honey, 2 tablespoons olive oil and water. They can be easily made by using the bread machine (using the knead function only). If you don't have a bread machine, you can still use the grandmum method-- knead by hand!
These are usually part of our breakfast, but sometimes we take these for lunch or dinner. They can be served with mushroom soup, lentil soup, dry shrimp sambal, lentil curry, , kadala curry , vegetable or meat curry. We usually make plenty of them (half kg of flour or more) and keep them in freezer.

Soybean curd pattie





The steamed bean curd can be served as it is or you may fry it prior to serving. This vegetarian dish is a good substitute for those who are tired of taking meat. It does provide superior nutritional value by having varieties of different colours of vegetables being added to the bean curd.
We usually make plenty of them and keep them in freezer & steam when it's needed.
It can be served with rice, porridge, fried noodles or even sandwiched in between two slices of wholemeal bread, as your nutritional breakfast.
