Pepper mushrooms
Last week, I had a busy week. We went a short trip to jalan-
jalan dan makan-makan (actually we went to Taiping ,will
update soon) and also arrange to send my last house helper

go back home. After 16 years of life with a helper at home,
this time I decided not to employ any more helper. Since my
kids already grown up, I don't need a helper anymore. Also a
good time start to train my kids to be more responsible and
take part of house cleaning activities. And I am glad to see
them started to wash their own serving dishes, helping in
vacuum, arrange their own bed, and etc. Anyway, I will be
getting busy than last time, and might not be able in blogging
so often. Sorry to my blogger friend if I couldn't visit you so
often.
Ok, come back to this post. The other day I saw a blogger
posted a famous burger shop in KL where their
charcoal burger is very popular until long Q to get this
burger. I will not travel that far and Q for a burger, so I
decided to make it at home.

Again I used the Plain milk buns recipe to make this burger
buns, still love the bread texture! Ya, you can keep the
overnight milk sponge dough in the fridge for not more than 7
dayse..make it convenient for us to use the dough anytime
when we feel like baking the bread within 7 days.

We like the spicy chicken from MCD burger, so I again copycat
this chicken patty with double breading method. And it
turned out almost like the original ^_^.
I did not use minced chicken but instead I cut chicken thigh
into small piece like this..

Charcoal Burger with Spicy Chicken and Black Pepper
mushrooms
(recipe source: by Sonia aka Nasi Lemak Lover)
Overnight sponge dough
215g high protein flour
125g milk (cold)
2g instant yeast (1/2tsp)
Method
1. Add all ingredients in a mixing bowl, combine all
ingredients to a rough dough by hands , the dough is dry and
rough and don't need to knead till pass window pane. Cover
tightly with cling film and immediately store in the fridge for
overnight (at least 12hours).

To make Charcoal Burger Buns
1 quantity of above overnight sponge dough (I used 3 days old
sponge dough)
90g High protein flour
30g egg
1tsp instant yeast
1/2tsp salt
40g caster sugar
2tbsp milk (cold)
5g Japanese charcoal powder
45g butter
Method
1.Tear the overnight sponge
dough into pieces and add all
ingredients except butter in a
mixing bowl, knead till smooth
dough.
2. Add in the butter and knead
until dough is smooth and
elastic. Cover with cling film and set aside to proof till double
in size.
3.Punch down the dough to expel air, equal divide the dough
7 portions, shape into round balls. Place dough on a baking
pan. Let it proof for another 30-45mins.
4.Bake in a pre-heated oven at 170C for 15mins (fan forced).
Homemade Charcoal Burger with Spicy Chicken and Black
Pepper mushrooms
(recipe source: by Sonia aka Nasi Lemak Lover)
7 homemade charcoal burger buns
green lettuce
cheese slices
To make Spicy chicken patties
2 boneless chicken thigh, remove skin, cut into 5cm x 5cm
thin pieces
3/4tsp fine salt
White pepper
Flour mixture ingredients
150g plain flour
1/2tsp cumin powder
1/2tsp Sweet Hungarian Paprika
1tsp Cayenne Pepper ground (Extra hot)
1tsp garlic salt
Method
1.Marinate chicken pieces with salt and white pepper for
30mins.
2.Mix flour mixture ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.
3.When ready to cook, prepare a basin of clean water and a
colander.
4.Toss chicken pieces with flour and press firmly and hard on
the chicken as to let more flour stick on chicken pieces.
5.Place floured chicken pieces in the colander, put the
colander in the water and immediately lift it up, remove
excess water.
6.Place wet chicken pieces back to the flour, again toss the
chicken with flour and press firmly and hard on the chicken as
to let more flour stick on chicken pieces.
7.Heat enough cooking oil in a pot over medium high heat.
Once oil is hot, reduce heat to medium, then put in the
floured chicken pieces, deep fry for 3-5mins. Then increase
heat to High, continue to deep fry for 1-2mins or until golden
brown. (** in order to have crunchy crust, chicken pieces
must be fully submerged and covered by hot oil. The last 1-
2mins deep fry on High heat is to remove oil and to have less
oily fried chicken).
8.After frying, place chicken on a wire rack to remove excess
oil.
To cook black pepper mushrooms
200g brown button mushrooms, sliced
1 onion, sliced
1/2tbsp oyster sauce
1/2tsp sugar
1/2tsp garlic salt
1/2tsp black pepper powder
2tbsp olive oil
Method
1. Heat olive oil in a pan. Add in onion slices, saut till
aroma.
2. Add in button mushrooms, continue to stir well.
3. Add in the seasonings, and cook till water evaporated.
To assemble Charcoal Burger with Spicy Chicken and Black
Pepper mushrooms
- Slice charcoal burger into half, roast the buns on a pan till
crispy.
- Then assemble the buns with mushrooms, green lettuce,
spicy chicken patty and a piece of cheese.

My son Desmond can become the model of promoting my
charcoal burger if one day I start to sell this Charcoal burger

sponge dough.

Awesome charcoal burger Sonia.
I wanted to ask you regarding the Basic sponge cake folding egg
white method. If I wanted it to be green tea flavour, how many
tsp I need to add? I just need a mild flavour and colouring will
do.
Oh you come to Taiping during the holidays? Ar... miss the
chance to meet you in person! Understand here, when you
come with family and of course enjoying with them right?

I tried making those charcoal buns by following the recipe and
instructions right to the dot. However, when I tried to combine
the overnight dough with the fresh bread dough, the combined
dough appears to be lumpy, ie the hard protein clumps from the
overnight dough could not dissolve and combine well
eventhough I knead it over a period of time. What could be the
reason for those hard lumps?
