Yesterday, I attempted to improve my mozzarella recipe by altering some of the ingredients and cooking order. The result was rather interesting. First, I tried to blend in the flour with hot water first and stirred into the melted butter. It didn't work out well. Once I mixed the flour with the hot butter, the flour formed little pieces of pastry-kind mixture instead of fusing with the butter. I decided to go back to the original plan with less flour, but, this time, I melted the cheese into the paste before adding milk. It was a big mistake. I don't know if I didn't have enough heat to fully melt the cheese or the cheese became little clumps(similar to first flour trial) due to the saturation. Tmd, I was rather pissed off. The sauce wasn't thick enough as well. Still need a lot of work.
With the disappointment aside, the new ingredients were quite pleasing. I decided to added 1 piece of bacon, and few slices of zucchini. First, I blasted the bacon, cut them into bits and throw them into my sauce. I used the remaining oil to cook my vegetable. Good pork fat really makes stuffs smell nice. However, my attempt to "grill" the vegetable did not work so well. Maybe I need a real grill. (cough, birthday gift? *pointing @ brownie master*) I definitely need one more pan just for the sauce. I find mixing everything at the end, makes it look kind of disgusting. :P It tasted good though. Anyways, I will post a picture next time if I manage to perfect it. I got my dish layout and camera all ready!!
