 [4 Recipes] Quick and Easy Meal With Bosch MSM6 ErgoMixx Hand Blender With a new gadget; Bosch ErgoMixx Hand Blender added to my kitchen pantry recently, I decided to work on a lunch menu to test out its features and functions on blend, process and whisk. And in this post, I will be sharing four recipes using those functions which I am quite happy with the end results.
Actually before using the hand blender I did a Google search on it's review; and I am pretty distracted with some of the negative reviews on it's universal cutter and blender. But all those worries are gone after I test out the blender with the recipes shown below and I am glad that now I can easily hand small amount of ingredients using this reliable blender.
Above is my set of Bosch MSM6 ErgoMixx Hand Blender which you can reader more on it's features and function in my product review post here.
BEETROOT AND POTATO SOUP
Beetroot is a "powerful" root vegetable which contains potassium, magnesium and iron as well as vitamins A, B6 and C, and folic acid which is good for the body. And I have also shared a few recipes using beetroot like ABC Power Cake which we all love. In this post I prepare a thick soup with beetroot, carrot and potato using my new Bosch hand blender and surprisingly the soup turns out great with a smooth texture and fragrance aroma from the bay leave (don't worry there is no raw beetroot taste at all).
To enjoy the soup, we top it with a dollar of Greek Yogurt (or you can use sour cream) and serve it together with some rustic bread which makes it a great hearty dish during cold days.
(Serves: 2 | Preparation: 10 minutes | Cooking: 30 - 40 minutes)
Ingredients:
- 2 Medium Beetroot (250g)
- 1 Small Carrot (100g)
- 3 Medium Potatoes (250g)
- 1 Small Brown Onion, diced
- 1 Bay Leave
- 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1.5 Cup Chicken Broths
- 1 Cup Water
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Some Sour Cream / Greek Yogurt, optional
Method:-
1. Peel and dice beetroot, carrot and potato into small cubes. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in a saucepan, add onion and carrot, cook on low heat for 3 minutes till onion is tender.
3. Add in beetroot, potato, bay leaves and chicken stock. Bring to boil and simmer for about 30 minutes or until beetroot is tender.
4. Remove from heat, take out the bay leave and use Bosch ErgoMixx Hand Blender to process the mixture on Speed 8 till smooth then season with salt and pepper.
5. Ladle soup into serving bowls, top with some sour cream and pepper. Serve warm with bread.
SESAME CHICKEN MEATBALL
This Sesame Chicken Meatballs makes it a great party/finger food for both Adults and Kids. It's super easy to prepare and you can even do a spicy version by adding 1 bird eye chilli and a stick of lemon grass to the existing ingredients.
In the past even though my family loves meatball, patty and etc, I don't usually prepared them at home because my existing Bosch food processor is way too "huge" to minced 150g of chicken breast or pork fillet. But now with my light weight hand blender everything seems like a breeze and I can easily prepared my minced meat within a minute or two (depending on the texture that you want).
(Make: 15 - 18 meatballs | Preparation: 10 minutes | Cooking: 15 minutes)
Ingredients:
- 150g Chicken Breast Fillet, diced
- 1 Teaspoon Fish Sauce/ Light Soy Sauce
- ½ Teaspoon Sweet Chilli Sauce
- 1 Teaspoon Lime Juice
- 1 Teaspoon Ginger Juice, optional
- 1 Teaspoon Fresh Rosemary
- 4 Tablespoons Sesame Seeds
- Oil for Deep-frying
Method:-
1. Using the Bosch Ergo Mixx Universal Chopper, place diced chicken, fish sauce, lime juice, ginger and rosemary in the provided container together with the blade and process using Speed 6 till almost smooth.
2. Remove the paste and hand roll about ½ tablespoon of the mixture into small round shapes.
3. Next coat it with sesame seeds and place on plate while repeating the rest of the chicken mixture.
4. Deep-fry meatballs in batches, drain well and serve with extra sweet chilli/tomato sauce.
PUMPKIN AND SWEETCORN PANCAKES
Pancake is the easiest dish to prepare if you are looking for a quick breakfast idea. You can either make it sweet or savory by adding in different ingredients like cheese, bacon, carrot, tomato or even plain. Here with the help of my hand blender (balloon whisk), I can easily prepare my favourite (serve 1 - 2) wholemeal pancake without the need of taking out my electric beater.
Other than making corn fritter, I also like to add fresh sweetcorn kernels into my wholemeal pancake for that extra crunch and natural sweetness. For this recipe, you can swap between pumpkin or sweet potato depend on your preference and their availability in your pantry.
(Serves: 2 | Preparation: 10 minutes | Cooking: 15 minutes)
Ingredients:
- 100g Cake/Wholemeal Flour
- 3g Baking Powder
- 50g Pumpkin, finely chopped
- 50g Sweetcorn Kernels
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 20g Brown Sugar
- 15ml Grape Seeds Oil
- 120ml Milk
- 1 Egg White
Method:-
1. Using the Bosch Ergo Mixx Hand Blender Balloon Whisk beat egg yolk with brown sugar till thick and creamy.
2. Slowly whisk in oil and milk then stirs well in between till combined.
3. Next add in pumpkin, corn kernels and flour mixture, mixed well and set aside.
4. With a clean balloon whisk attached to the hand blender, whisk egg white on Speed 6/8 till stiff peak.
5. First fold in 1/3 of the whites into the flour mixture and stir till combined then follow by remaining whites and stir till no trace of white found.
6. Heat up a lightly oiled frying pan, pour ¼ cup of the batter for each pancake and cook until it is golden brown on both side.
7. Remove and keep warm, continue with the remaining batter.
8. Serve pancake with maple syrup or honey together with butter.
CHOCOLATE BANANA TOFU MOUSSE
(Eggless version)
Love this "Eggless and Sugarless" Chocolate Mousse dessert to bits as it's very different from the normal chocolate mousse recipes which requires cream, eggs and sugar. Here cream is replace with "tofu" whereas egg and sugar is being replace by "banana" for a light and healthier version with natural sweetness mainly from banana and chocolate.
If using "raw egg" is an issue for you (I usually avoid recipe using raw egg) to avoid making chocolate mousse for the kids, perhaps you would like to try this version by using banana and tofu which I am sure it will be a much healthier dessert to prepare for the whole family.
(Serves: 4 | Preparation: 10 minutes | Chilling: 1 - 2 hours)
Ingredients:
- 200g Pressed Tofu
- 300g Ripe Banana
- 160g Dark Chocolate, roughly chopped
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extra, optional
 Method:-
1. Rinse and drain pressed tofu on kitchen paper towel.
2. Melt chocolate in a double-boiler over a pot of simmering water or microwave in a heatproof bowl for 1 minute on HIGH. Stir mixture till smooth and set aside.
3. Place banana, tofu and melt chocolate into the provided tall beaker, use Bosch Ergo Mixx Hand Blender and process the mixture on Speed 6 till smooth.
4. Transfer the mixture into small sterilized bottle jars and keep in the fridge for about 2 hours till firm.
5. Serve with whipped cream or berries.
With the four step-by-step recipes above featuring different functions of the new Bosch MSM6 ErgoMixx Hand Blender I hope it will be of some help for those who is keen in getting a hand blender for their kitchen. Friendly speaking this hand blender do come in handy if you are working on small portion of ingredients especially for "baby/toddler" food or quick dishes like mashed potato, cream soup, pancake, muffin and etc. For more recipe ideas using Bosch kitchen products you can visit their recipe site @ http://www.bosch-home.com.sg/recipe-home-page.html
