Homemade Green Tea Icecream



It is 43*C today in my place...I'm sitting in my (airconditioned) living room, watching Wozniacki - Kuznetsova fighting in the heat and enjoying my home-made icecream...I really love sports!

Ingredients:
2 cups milk
200 ml double cream
3 egg yolks
100 g sugar
1 tbs green tea (matcha) powder
Method:
In a small bowl, mix the green tea powder with 2 tablespoons sugar.
In a separate bowl, mix together the egg yolks and remaining sugar.
Pour the milk into a small pan, heat it; don't to let it boil. Remove from the heat and mix a few spoonfuls of the warm milk with the green tea powder and sugar in a small bowl. When you have a smooth paste, strain and add it to the remaining milk in the pan, then gradually combine with the egg yolk mixture.
Return mixture to the stove and heat slowly over low heat (taking care to not let the mixture boil), until the mixture gets slightly thick and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
Lightly whip the cream and then add it to the cold green tea-milk mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a large container and (chill for an hour or two in the fridge) and then put it in the freezer. As ice crystals start to form, remove, and mix well with a fork (or mixer) to break them up and return the mixture to the freezer. Repeat this a few times (every 15-20 min) as it freezes to ensure that the ice cream is smooth.
Enjoy after 4-5 hours, or when frozen.


Sladoled od (praha) Zelenog Čaja

Danas je 43*C u mom mjestu...Sjedim u mojoj (klimatiziranoj) dnevnoj sobi, gledam Wozniacki i Kuznetsovu kako se bore na ovoj vrelini i uzivam u domacem sladoledu od matcha caja...Ah, sto volim sport!

Potrebno:
2 solje mlijeka
200 ml duplog vrhnja (45-50%masnoce)
3 zumanca
100 gr secera
1 K matcha caja (prah)
Nacin:
U manju posudu pomijesajte matcha sa 2 K secera.
U drugu posudu izmiksajte jaja sa secerom.
Zagrijte mlijeko, ali nedajte da prokljuca. Smaknite s vatre, uspite par kasika mlijeka u matcha mjesavinu i promijesajte. Procijedite to nazad u mlijeko, umijesajte mjesavinu sa jajima. Vratite na vatru i zagrijavajte dok se smjesa ne zgusne (nemojte prokuhati). Ohladite.
Umutite vrhnje i ubacite u hldanu smjesu zelenog caja. Dobro promijesajte. Prebacite u plasticnu posudu i smjestite u zamrzivac. Svako 15-20 minuta izvadite i promijesajte viljuskom (ili mikserom) kako biste razbili vece kristale sladoleda. Sladoled je gotov nakon 4-5 sati ili kad se dobro zaledi.

Sushi...The way I make it



This is not a traditional recipe; it's been adapted to my skills and preferences.

Ingredients:
1 cup Jasmine rice
1,5 cups water
1 teas vegetable stock powder (or other)
4 sheets of roasted seaweed
Salmon (smoked)/Tuna/Prawns
Lebanese cucumber, sliced lengthwise
Avocado, sliced lengthwise
(or other vegetables)
Sushi mat
Water and brush for wetting
Method:
Cook rice - absorption method- with 1,5 cups of water, add vegetable powder. Let it cool completely.
Place a seaweed sheet on a sushi mat. Spoon 1/4 of rice; with your damp fingers press down, leaving 1 inch uncovered.
Place fish/prawns and vegetables lengthwise on the edge close to you. Roll towards centre, making slight pressure. Wet the uncovered seaweed, and finish rolling. It should stick together. When finish rolling all, slice with a sharp knife.
Serve with soy sauce and Wsabi paste.





Sushi - nacin kako ga ja pravim

Potrebno:
1 solja 'Jasmin' rize
1,5 solja vode
1 kasicica Vegete ( ili slicno)
4 lista susene/presovane morske trave
Dimljeni/suseni losos
Tuna ili gambori/skampe
Krastavac rezan po duzini
Avocado ili drugo povrce
Sushi podmetac (za savijanje)
Voda i cetka za vlazenje
Nacin;
Skuhajte rizu, po postupku apsorpcije (mikrovalna idealna), zacinite. Ohladite je potpuno. Na podmetac stavite list morske trave, na njega rasporedite 1/4 kuhane rize. Navlazenim rukama pritisnite rizu po listu, ostavljajuci nepokriveno 2,5 cm na jednom kraju. Na ivicu sa rizom, po duzini, stavite reznjeve povrca i ribe. Pocnite zamotavati, zajedno sa podmetacem, pritiskujuci njezno. Kada ste dosli blizu slobodne strane, navlazite je vodom, pa onda zavrsite zamotavanje. Treba da ostane 'zalijepljeno'.
Kada ste sve listove umotali, rezite ostrim nozem na reznjeve 2-2,5 cm.
Servirajte sa soja sosem i Japanskim hrenom (Wsabi).
