((Fish Sausage Strawberries))
1. Slice fish sausage and cut into a strawberry shape with a design knife.
2. Cut and make zigzag Edamame halves for the strawberry hulls.
3. Attach the Edamame hulls to the fish sausage strawberries with bits of spaghetti pasta. (pasta will absorb moisture from fish sausage and gets soft after few hours, so you can eat it by lunchtime!)
4. Arrange some black sesame seeds for strawberry seeds with tweezers.
((Usuyaki Tamago Egg Crepe Flowers))
1. Beat an egg in a bowl and season with Yamaki Kappo Shirodashi (a bit of salt and sugar is fine).
2. Heat cooking oil in a tamagoyaki nabe (rectangular omelet pan) on low heat, pour the egg mixture in the pan and spread over the surface.
3. Cook the egg until the edges begin to dry, then flip it over and cook the other side for about 10 seconds. Leave it to cool completely.
4. Cut the egg lengthwise, fold in half lengthwise, and make vertical slices on the folded side.
5. Roll up the egg and attach it with a bit of spaghetti pasta.
((My Melody Onigiri Rice Ball))
1. With a permanent marker (Sharpie), trace your favorite My Melody illustration on the parchment paper and cut it out.
2. Pile up some steamed rice, cover with plastic wrap, place the My Melody stencil, and shape it with your fingers. Pinch and create chiseled jaw, because you want to draw a clear outline where you don't put the ham on top.
3. Place the My Melody stencil on a slice of ham and wrap with plastic wrap. Cut out the hood and the folded ear with eyebrow scissors.
4. Use the Character Nori Punch to cut out eyes and mouth. (you can also use eyebrow scissors)
5. Cut out and place the My Melody's flower hair accessory stencil on a slice of cheese. Use a design knife or a toothpick to cut carefully around the stencil. Cut out a slice of cheddar cheese to make a core of the flower and a nose.
6. Place the side dishes and the rice in a bento box. Then arrange the parts with tweezers.

How to Make MILO Bagels - Video Recipe

Soft and chewy with a slightly sweet MILO flavor! Yummy XD

It goes great with Anko (sweet Azuki red bean paste)!!!
Also ham and cheese surprisingly match well. hehe

How to Make MILO Bagels

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 40min
Number of servings: 2

Ingredients:
180g (6.4oz.) bread flour
50g (1.8oz.) Nestle MILO
1/2 tsp. dry yeast
1/4 tsp. salt
120ml warm water

Directions:
1. Place bread flour, MILO, dry yeast in a large bowl. Add warm water (38C-40C=100F-104F) and roughly mix the ingredients. Then add salt and knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is uniform and smooth. (You can knead the dough on the counter. Salt controls the rising, so it is better added later. If your dough is too soft, add little more flour. But it is better soft than stiff to get them incorporated. Adding water later won't mix well…)
2. Divide the dough into 2 portions and shape into balls. Wrap each in plastic wrap and let rest for 5 minutes. (Meanwhile, you can wash dishes.)
3. Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape. Fold bottom up twice, leaving one side open. Wrap around the other side with the open side to form a doughnut shape, sealing the ends securely.
4. Wrap in plastic wrap again and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 428F (220C). Bring a large pot of water to a boil
5. Add 1 tbsp. of honey in a boiling water (it gives the bagels a nice shine). Cook for about 1 minute on each side until the bagels have a shriveled look. Then immediately remove to the baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper, and bake at 428F (220C) for 15 minutes.

Wrap bagels in aluminum foil to keep them moist. They stay soft and chewy till the next day!

Tsubu-an (sweet Azuki red bean paste with skins) goes great with MILO bagels :D

How to Make MILO Banana Muffins - Video Recipe

I met a girl from Malaysia and heard that MILO is so popular in Malaysia that most people drink it every morning!!!

She gave me MILO and asked me to make some MILO recipes, so I decided to make this tutorial.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRR4XO9awgs

I know that muffins sound ordinary BUT this recipe came out amazingly delicious without doubt. Just try it out ;)



I like the way MILO is nutritious.
I shouldn't but can't stop eating MILO with a spoon!!!

How to Make MILO Banana Muffins

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 45min (15min preparation, 25-30min cooking)
Number of servings: 8 (5cm/2inch) muffin cups

Ingredients:
100g (3.5oz.) unsalted butter *softened to room temperature
100g (3.5oz.) sugar
2 eggs *room temperature
150ml milk *room temperature
A
* 200g (7oz.) cake flour
* 60g (2.1oz.) Nestle MILO
* 2 tsp. baking powder
2 bananas (400g=1lb. with skin)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Slice the banana into 8 half-inch-thick rounds. Mash remaining bananas with a fork.
2. Cream the butter in a large bowl with a wire whisk. Add sugar and eggs, and mix well.
3. Sift in half of the dry ingredients (A) and mix well. Add milk and mix well. Then add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix until completely blended. *Butter and milk will separate if you add the milk right after the eggs. OR when the ingredients are too cold. To incorporate them well, add half of the dry ingredients first.
4. Then add the mashed banana and mix well. Spoon the mixture into muffin cups up to 80% full (you can use a pastry bag to pipe the mixture into cups). Place a slice of banana on each muffin. Bake at 180C (350F) for 25-30 minutes.
5. Place them on a wire rack to cool.
