On Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) with Jeans for Genes) How Kalarny's life changed - and how we can help When Kalarny was born, he couldn’t hold his head up. He couldn’t move. He was fighting just to breathe. He was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), and his parents were told he wouldn’t survive to his first birthday. Thanks to research he survived, but he needs regular spinal injections and a wheelchair to get around. If he’d been born just a few years later, he could have received gene therapy. Infants treated with just one injection of gene therapy seem to be cured. It’s still in the early days, but signs indicate that they will go on to lead normal, healthy lives. It’s so effective that SMA has been added to newborn screening and the gene therapy treatment is covered by PBS. An incurable disease just a few years ago is now curable. That's nothing short of a miracle. That’s what we want for more kids, and to cure so many of the 6000 genetic diseases out there. Lastly everyone, thank you for your generosity and coming together.

  • HEALTH BENEFITS - ROSELLE POWDER

    Why Eat and Drink Roselle Tea? Roselle, Hibiscus sabdariffa L, has a long tradition of use as a health-supporting drink and food ingredient, and is well known and widely used around the planet. We start with the high quality Hibiscus sabdariffa that grows and is processed fresh at our doorstep. Roselle is not a fruit or a flower. The edible parts used to make the juice or tea are the “calyces,” the red fleshy sepals that cover and enclose the flower’s seed pods. Roselle is a good source of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Consuming 100 grams of raw roselle offers 215 mg of Calcium, 1.48 mg of Iron, 12 mg of Vitamin C, 51 mg of Magnesium, 6.0 g of Carbohydrate, 37 mg of Phosphorus, 208 mg of Potassium, as well as Vitamin A, Vitamin's B1, B2 and B3. The flowers are a rich source of anthocyanin (antioxidants) and protocatechuic acid (“PCA”). Let’s look not only at what roselle provides, but just as important, what it lacks. Nutritional facts disclose very low levels of fat, sugar, sodium and carbs. PCA in roselle has a three major functions that effect the human body. It has been shown to be Anti-Bacterial,Antioxidant / Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-tumorous. The natural functions that roselle has, besides PCA , makes it a power house of longevity foods in the world. It has use in helping with weight management, blood pressure, diabetes, skin care, Imunity, sex drive and so much more that can be found in the brief in the link below. Anti-Bacterial: PCA has been shown to treat malignant bacterial effected cells taken from human oral cavities. In another study the anti-bacterial effects of PCA derived from roselle effectively inhibited the growth of bacteria in humans and it was concluded that PCA specifically from roselle may be useful in clinical infection prevention and therapy. Antioxidant / Anti-Inflammatory: PCA is a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory in general and specifically associated with liver protection. Higher concentration in the color of the red flavonoid pigments in the anthocyanins was shown to have a direct relationship to the antioxidant effects. Under less ideal processing temperatures and storage conditions the anthocyanin content declines. This validates the strong advantage achieved by our company’s proprietary Cellular Fraction-Line Technology. This process is a key factor in delivering high quality premium freeze dried roselle powder. BUY RED ROSELLE POWDER NOW Roselle Tea or add Red Roselle Powder into any juice (or use store bought lemonade) Anti-tumor: PCA was found to increase proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of neural stem cells and was found to induce cell death of human leukemia cells. In a laboratory model using HL-60 leukemia cells, PCA was shown to prevent damage to genetic information that could potentially lead to cancer, help destroy existing tumors and PCA was found to inhibit the growth of lung cancer cells . PCA contained in Hibiscus sabdariffa may induce cell death (apoptosis) in human leukemia cells and induce apoptosis in human gastric carcinoma cells to help fight stomach cancer. INTERESTING FACTS § With our Red Roselle powder we have eliminated the water which is approximately 85% of the total weight. It is, thereby, naturally concentrated six to seven times. Roselle tea is a mild infusion. You drink the mild infusion and throw the flower (calyse) away. In the case of our roselle powder you are actually drinking the entire calyse. All benefits, nutritional and otherwise are highly concentrated. § Hibiscus is used as an offering to the Goddess Kali and Lord Ganesha in Hindu worship. The red hibiscus flower is said to incite passion and attract love. Hawaiian women wear a single hibiscus behind the right ear to indicate availability. Egyptian women have been banned from drinking roselle tea because it is said to act as an aphrodisiac and induce lust. Hibiscus is used in incense mixtures to assist divination and clairvoyance and when the pedals are floated on water in a wooden bowl the result is sacred and used to attract good Spirits. § The high vitamin C content in roselle can be an adjunctive therapy when combined with conventional treatments. Among the long list of benefits of Vitamin C, it may help to boost immunity and improve blood flow. § Roselle may help your body to break down your food and decrease absorption of carbohydrates. Roselle has been shown to decrease the synthesis of amylase, an enzyme that speeds up the chemical breakdown of starch into sugars. In addition it boosts your metabolism allowing you to burn more calories faster . § Antioxidant rich roselle can help to keep your skin looking youthful. Hibiscus sabdariffa is a natural source of alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) used in anti-aging products. In addition, the muscle tightening effect Hibiscus sabdariffa helps smooth fine lines and wrin- kles naturally while it strengthens skin cells. § Potassium helps to control electrical activity of muscles including the heart and regulation of our body fluids (including water balance). Health benefits include relief from high blood pressure, stoke and other heart disorders as well as regulation of blood sugar levels. Potassium supports kidney functions, and helps to relieve anxiety and stress. It also enhances muscle strength, brain function and supports the nervous system.

  • Traditional Mooncakes in China – 4 Main Mooncakes and 12 Types of Regional Variations

    Which is your favourite Mooncake? This year the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhongqiu Jie (中秋节) in Chinese, also known as the Mooncake Festival or Moon Festival, falls on 29th September 2023. It is one of China's biggest holidays. It is also a popular festival celebrated in many other Asian countries such as Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam and Singapore. In the past it was a time to celebrate the successful harvest of rice and wheat, with food offerings to the moon. In modern times, we still continue to celebrate this with family and friends, eating this beautiful delicacy called Mooncakes (little round pastries with a sweet filling) and drinking tea, enjoying the beauty of the full moon. There are also parades and children enjoy carrying brightly lit lanterns in the evening. The protagonist of this festival, other than the full moon, is clearly the mooncakes. In China, there are four main types of mooncakes (depending on the origin, sales volume and features): Cantonese-style Beijing-style Suzhou-style Chaoshan-style There have been other variations of classification and there is still debate on this. Some categorised the Chaoshan and Hong Kong into Cantonese-style, and included another Yunnan-style. As the Cantonese ones differ from the Chaoshan ones in terms of ingredients, cooking methods, appearance and flavour, some do not agree they should be put together. Still, a mooncake by any other name would taste just as delicious, and we love trying all of them! Today we take you on a delicious treat to get to know all the different types of moonckaes! What are the different types of mooncakes? (1) By flavour: Sweet, Salty, Salty sweet, Spicy (2) By filling: Osmanthus, Prunes, Five nuts, Red Bean Paste, Rose, Lotus Seed Paste, Rock sugar, Ginkgoes, Dried meat floss, Black sesame, Ham, Yolks, etc. (Note: Nowadays new adventurous flavours have come up, such as Durian, Pandan, Taro, Sweet Potato etc.) (3) By crust: Pulp crust, Sugar mixed crust, Crisp crust, Cream crust, etc. (4) By appearance: Smooth, Laced (Source: https://www.travelchinaguide.com/essential/holidays/mid-autumn-mooncake.htm) 12 Types of Traditional Mooncakes - by Region At present, the most widely known classification of traditional mooncakes is by the place of origin, ignoring the characteristics of the mooncake itself. (Source: https://www.travelchinaguide.com/essential/holidays/traditional-mooncakes.htm) 1. Cantonese-style Mooncake This is a sweet or salty mooncake with a thin crust. A thin crust and large fillings are typical of Cantonese-style mooncakes. For the filling, you can find lotus seed paste, coconut paste, yolks, bean paste, jujube paste or various meat. These mooncakes taste soft, and it is recommended to accompany them with tea. Traditional Mooncakes with typical lotus paste with 1-2 egg yolks and in South East Asia we added Pandan flavour and it's known as "Jade Mooncake", jade being an auspicious element. 2. Chaoshan-style Mooncake For those who like it soft with a crispy crust, oily but not greasy, and you can get it sweet or savoury. The Chaoshan-style mooncake, or the Teochew mooncake, is a famous traditional flaky mooncake originating from the Chaoshan area of Guangdong Province. It has different types of stuffing e.g. mung bean mooncake, black bean mooncake, seafood mooncake, yolks mooncake, etc. The kernel inside the stuffing is usually yolks or seafood. These are Teochew flaky mooncakes Pandan & Dragonfruit and Butterfly Pea + Dragonfruit flaky skin mooncake, with low sugar red bean & one egg yolk filling by Elizabeth Tang in Perth. The centre shows Purple Sweet Potato Mooncake with taro filling by Chef Catherine Teo. She loves our Purple Sweet Potato powder! 3. Beijing-style Mooncake - Mom's favourite This is for those with a sweet tooth! If you're looking to make a royal treat, this is for you. Its distinctive feature is the cooking method which has been handed down from the ancient royal palace! Imagine eating a piece of history! The process of selecting materials and making it is quite complicated, so it's not the best mooncake to start learning to make. The fillings are made of nuts, sweet-scented osmanthus, and rock sugar, etc. It is exquisite in appearance, and the crust is thin and crispy, making it a hot favourite with a lot of foodies. 4. Shanghai-style Mooncake Don't like the sweet stuff? Fear not, there's a savoury version for those who like it salty! This is a kind of baked flaky mooncake, and it tastes the best soon after it is fresh from the oven. The stuffing is fresh pork, which gives it a smooth taste. The crust is crispy, and the rich gravy soaks beautifully into it, making it extremely delicious. You'll be having more than one, definitely! Sally Choo has contributed her recipe for Pandan Shanghai Mooncake, so stay tuned for our next blog! 5. Hong Kong-style Mooncake This keeps everyone happy as it's both salty and sweet! This is representative of Hong Kong and the filling is made of white lotus seed paste with double yolks. Again, it's quite an elaborate process when it comes to the ingredients and process. The final product is to die for though - thin even crust, with two salty golden egg yolks perfectly centred with silky red oil. This is a smooth tasting mooncake. There are also other Hong Kong variations such as five nuts, salty meat and ham mooncake. 6. Suzhou-style Mooncake You can get this sweet or salty, and it is heavy on the oil but not greasy. This is a crispy mooncake. The sweet ones have fillings such as rose petals, five nuts and bean paste, which is tightly pressed. Do be warned though, that this tends to be sweeter than mooncakes of other regions. The salty one come in spiced salt mooncakes, ham mooncakes, shallot mooncakes, shrimp mooncakes, etc. 7. Yunnan-style Mooncake This is typically sweet and a little salty. It's oily but not greasy. This is also famously known as ham mooncake because the stuffing is made from Xuanwei ham, a specialty in Yunnan, mixed with honey, lard and white sugar. The crust is also special as it's made from purple wheat flour from Chenggong in Kunming. It's quite a hard crust, and after baking it looks golden yellow or brownish red, oily and simply gorgeous. Ham lovers will enjoy the fragrant flavour of the meat. 8. Anhui-style Mooncake This can be sweet or salty. Typically, it has a thin crust and full stuffing. It's also smaller than other types of mooncakes, giving it a delicate, adorable look. The crust is made by mixing fine flour and vegetable oil. The stuffing is interesting as it is made of various marinated vegetables mixed with fresh pork oil and white sugar. There is even a signature prune mooncake. By now you must wondering is there anything you can't find in mooncakes?! And this is only #8 on the list! 9. Quzhou-style Mooncake In short, sweet and crispy with a touch of sesame. Sesame is the key ingredient here. It is used in the stuffing or used to decorate the skin. On some of the larger sized mooncakes, people would even paint auspicious images with coloured sesame. Talk about a work of art, both inside and outside! 10. Shaanxi-style Mooncake Sweet but not greasy is what this mooncake is. If you're not into meat, then this is for you as it's mainly vegetal, and are locally known as Crystal Cakes. The stuffing is a mixture of sugar, nuts, animal or vegetable oil, preserved fruits, roses and orange peels. It has a more desiccated feel and the crust is thicker than most mooncakes. As you can see so far, there are so many types of Mooncakes and you can create them yourself and experiment! Like this Lotus Mooncake with Butterfly Pea blue colour (recipe on our FB Page) and Persimmon Mooncake with Pandan lotus paste that looks as good as it tastes. 11. Shanxi-style Mooncake If you like it sweet and crispy, try this one. The ingredients for the crust include oil, sugar and eggs, and for the stuffing you can find jujube paste, five nuts, red sugar, osmanthus, etc. The most common and popular one is the sugar mixed mooncake where different sugars are added into both the crust and stuffing. Definitely for those who have a real sweet tooth! 12. Fengzhen Mooncake Here's another one for those who like it sweet. Interestingly enough, there is no stuffing in this mooncake from Inner Mongolia. You mix the fried linseed oil, syrup of red sugar and flour into a dough, and let it rise. Then it is divided into smaller balls of dough, then pressed and baked with sesame and linseed oil on the surface. While most mooncakes are best eaten fresh, this mooncake tastes better two or three days after baking, when the colour gets darker. So you'll need a bit of patience with this one to resist temptation after making it! There you go, twelve amazing mooncakes that have probably left you drooling by now! Let's take a look at other non-traditional mooncakes as well. Non-traditional Mooncakes from various countries Snow Skin Mooncake: What a beautiful name for a mooncake, isn't it? The crust is translucent and milky white, giving it a beautiful, delicate, porcelain snowy look. It is made with steamed glutinous rice powder. For this mooncake, try leaving it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before eating it. It tastes great slightly cold! The ones you see here are "Dragonfruit Snowskin Mooncake" contributed by Emily in Melbourne. Jelly Mooncake: This is another pretty one! Sometimes called Crystal Mooncake, it stands out with its striking colours. It is smooth with a chewy taste and it's actually a lighter mooncake than the others, making it healthier to eat. Remember to store it in the refrigerator. The skin is made from starch, pudding powder or jelly powder. You can even see through it to the fillings inside. Chinese Tea Mooncake: Pandan tea Powder is added to the crust or stuffing, giving the mooncake a hint of tea fragrance. When you start exploring mooncakes, you'll see there is an infinite variety, and it would be impossible to cover all of them here! There are mooncakes made from fruits and vegetables, coconut milk, seafood, mustard, miscellaneous grains, and even ice cream (!). You can find health care mooncakes containing nutrients such as ginseng, calcium, and Chinese herbs; pictographic mooncakes and mini mooncakes that children love; and French mooncakes and Japanese mooncakes, which are becoming more and more popular! Why not invent your own style of mooncake? Remember to share it with us! Mooncakes + Tea Because of the sweet taste of the mooncake, people often have it with tea to ease the taste up a bit. Tea is considered a healthy drink because it's rich in antioxidants that can help to digest your food faster.

  • Satay Celup Melaka

    What is "Lok Lok Sauce" i.e. Satay Celup Melaka? Satay Celup is originally from Malacca, the historical city of Malaysia. It is still popular there and with more than 80 types of seafood and vegetables to choose from to dip into its thick, aromatic peanut sauce, many tourists and locals consider Satay Celup an absolute favourite. You may also know it as Sate Celup or Steamboat Satay. For this dish, you need an assortment of raw and semi-cooked seafood, marinated meat and vegetables on skewers. These are then dunked into a hot boiling pot of satay gravy. The sauce is made with peanuts, dried chilli peppers, garlic and palm sugar. The recipe differs from one eatery to another, so you can shop around and try out different places to find your favourite. Satay Celup is often accompanied by barley drink, coconut water or herbal tea to combat the spiciness of the sauce. Recipe for Satay Celup Melaka Let's begin with the all-important peanut sauce. Lok Lok Sauce / Satay Steamboat Sauce preparation Ingredients A : (1) 1 pack @my.blue.tea Satay Sauce base (2) 400ml water (room temp water) (3) 1 tbsp oil (4) 2 tsp corn flour Ingredients B : (1) 100-150g pineapple diced or minced (this is the secret to making a really tantalising Satay Celup Melaka!) (2) 50g toasted chunky peanuts (optional) (3) 1 tbsp of unsalted unsweetened peanut butter spread (optional) Tips : Some pineapple may be too sweet, so it might overpower the sauce. Add pineapple gradually and adjust the amount to your liking. As the fruit has a high water content, you may wish to reduce the amount of water. As the pineapple can make the sauce quite watery, you can add corn flour to thicken the sauce. You want your sauce to be thick enough to coat the meat when dipping. If the sauce is overpowered by the pineapple, some peanut butter spread may help to balance it up. Method : (1) Mix all ingredients A in a pot, stir well and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. The sauce should become a bit starchy. (2) Add in Ingredients B and continue to boil for a few minutes. (3) Once ready, serve with Satays or you can use ingredients pictured below such as fish balls, cuttlefish, kangkung, prawns and beancurd (skewer some if you wish). Let your creativity flow! Look at those skewers and the satay dipping sauce! Mmm... with our Satay Sauce, you have the option to add your choice of nuts as our Satay Sauce Powder is "peanut friendly", perfect for those who are allergic to nuts.

  • A healthy drink with proven benefits for diabetes, cancer, oxidative stress

    From a doctor's point of view, our beautiful Butterfly Pea tea is a great boost to health! We know about the benefits of our butterfly pea flower and My Blue Tea is proud to have this in our range of natural superfoods. Check out our previous blogs about the power of this little flower. Anthocyanin Dr. William Li is the author of "Eat to Beat Disease" and he talks about the health advantages of consuming herbal teas that are rich in anthocyanin, an antioxidant that may hold several health benefits. Anthocyanins exhibit properties that combat cancer, with the ability to weaken and eradicate cancer cells, including cancer stem cells. It also has antiangiogenic features proven effective against the effects of aging, oxidative stress and has a role to play in free radical damage. Butterfly Pea Flower Our delicate Butterfly Pea flower is one such herbal tea. It's a plant indigenous to South East Asia, and it's not a new thing to consume it as tea. Traditionally, the dried blooms of the Butterfly Pea plant has been consumed in tea form because of their health and therapeutic properties thanks to their blue-purpose bioactive traits. A cuppa blue tea, anyone? Dr. Li suggests drinking butterfly pea flower tea as an afternoon beverage. It is caffeine-free and has a flavour similar to green tea. Those of you who know our blue teas well, you will already know that when it is mixed with an acid such as lemon juice, it changes to a gorgeous purple colour! See our video here. Boost your health While not all cancers can be prevented, there are things we can do to boost our health. Lifestyle modifications can help lower the chances of developing cancer. We can work towards maintaining a healthy weight, abstaining from tobacco and limiting our alcohol consumption, as well as protecting our skin from too much sun exposure. We can always start with small steps. Instead of regularly having coffee or soft drinks, perhaps a cup of blue tea is a healthier routine to have. Studies also suggest that the butterfly pea flower could reduce the risk of diabetes. A study published in BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies based on 15 participants talks about the impact of this herbal tea on blood glucose and insulin levels. Another research revealed that the antioxidant characteristics of butterfly pea flowers may help in guarding against cell damage and complications related to diabetes. Make Blue Tea time Fun time!

Making a difference one meal at a time has broken FOFA's record at last Friday's cook-up, and My Blue Tea is so proud to have been a part of the event!

This astonishing result would not be possible without the incredible effort and teamwork that each of our volunteers showcased from start to finish, each endured through the challenging task with a big smile and worked collaboratively towards one common goal. So proud of you, well done team!" "We also had the absolute honour of having Lee from our partner, My Blue Tea join us in the kitchen on Friday. Thank you Lee for lending us a helping hand and working tirelessly with the team to break the record of meals produced in one single session. Your unwavering support means the world to us and we are so grateful for our partnership and friendship." How to support FOFA Everyone can make a difference, and every meal counts.

  • Rice Cooker Pandan Sponge Cake

    Yes, you read it right! You don't need an oven to make a cake - try this with your rice cooker! Pandan is truly trending. Everyone is madly in love with this humble, gentle flavour that has a way of delighting your tastebuds. We noticed quite a few bakeries and Bingsu cafes have started sprouting up, especially in Melbourne. Pandan has clearly stolen the hearts of the people, because even in deep winter, you can find icy desserts made with pandan! For Pandan Lovers out there, remember to check out our range of Pandan products! Talking about pandan, someone was having a nostalgic craving for Pandan Sponge/Pandan Chiffon Cake and wanted to know where to buy it. Someone suggested baking it herself! She said she only has a rice cooker at home, and no oven. Cooks and chefs are extremely creative and also determined people, so if there's a problem, you can be sure they'll find a solution. And here we present you with... the Rice Cooker Pandan Sponge Cake! We managed to dig up this recipe when everyone was baking and cooking at home during the lockdown in 2020 - here's one by Celyn Yu. Watch this space as we'll be sharing a few more nice recipes from the lockdown days on our blog. Recipe for Rice Cooker Pandan Sponge Cake Prep Time : 20 mins Cook Time : 50 mins Total Time : 1 hour 10 mins Makes : One 8" cake Ingredients: *5 eggs *120g cake flour *1/2 tsp baking powder *130g sugar *50ml coconut milk (@my.blue.tea - 1 pack dehydrated coconut milk powder) *30ml water *4 Tbsp vegetable oil *1 tbsp @my.blue.tea Pandan Powder *Butter for coating Method : You will need a rice cooker bowl (approx. 8"), coat bottom and sides generously with butter. 1. Sift baking powder and cake flour into a bowl. Set aside until needed. 2. Separate the egg whites from the yolk. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat egg whites until frothy. Then gradually add in sugar and beat until stiff peak. Add in the egg yolks, one at a time and beat until fully incorporated. 3. In another mixing bowl, combine Pandan Powder, coconut milk, vegetable oil and half of the previously sieved flour mixture. Mix well using a whisk. 4. Add in 1/3 of the egg batter into the flour batter, and whisk gently to combine. Add in the other half of the previously sieved flour mixture, and again whisk gently to combine. 5. When everything is well mixed, add in the rest of the egg batter and using a whisk, mix well in a fold motion. Lastly using a spatula, get to the bottom of the batter and fold to mix evenly. 6. Pour batter into the rice cooker bowl and drop the bowl from a height on the kitchen countertop to release large air bubbles. Do it a few times. 7. Cook batter for 40 - 50 minutes, or until when a skewer inserted is clean when you remove it. And here you have a Pandan Sponge Cake all ready to be sliced up. It looks a bit 'dense', kind of like a 'flying saucer' of sorts, but trust us, when it comes to food, don't be fooled by appearances! Try making it, and you'll immediately notice the beautiful fragrance from the powerful combination of pandan and coconut. It lingers in the house and gives it a warm, cosy feeling! And then the next best part if slicing up the cake and eating it! Many thanks Celyn for sharing your recipe and photos, and testimony as well on our Pandan Powder! Thanks also to Adrian, who gave us a lovely testimony below when he made a Pandan Chiffon cake! We are delighted whenever we hear stories of how our clients have been using and enjoying our natural products.

  • Burrito Recipe that is simply Out of This World

    East + West Burritos are the best! And here's a chance to win a 500 grams Satay Marinade! Wikipedia says, "A burrito is a dish in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine that took form in Ciudad Juárez, consisting of a flour tortilla wrapped into a sealed cylindrical shape around various ingredients. The tortilla is sometimes lightly grilled or steamed to soften it, make it more pliable, and allow it to adhere to itself." How about we take this burrito and give it an Asian twist? And yes... that magic ingredient giving the twist is our Satay Marinade powder ! Recipe for Asian Burrito with Satay Marinade Serving Size: 4-6 Ingredients: Tortillas 8-12pcs tortillas Rice 250g medium-grain rice 400 ml water Salt to taste 2 Tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter 1/4 cup (15 g) cilantro, finely chopped 1 lime, juiced Chicken 1kg boneless chicken thighs 50g @my.blue.tea Satay Marinade Base 150g Sugar Beans 2 Tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter 1 sweet onion, sliced Salt to taste Pepper to taste 2 jalapenos, thinly sliced 1 can of black beans 2 Tbsp (30 ml) hot sauce Fajita Veggies 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced 2 jalapenos, thinly sliced Salt to taste 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped Aioli Ingredients: 1 cup (220 g) mayonnaise 1 Tbsp (8 g) smoked paprika 2 Tbsp (30 ml) hot sauce 2 Tbsp (30 ml) lime juice 3 garlic cloves, grated Salt to taste Method: For making the rice: Add rice to a fine-mesh strainer and wash 2 times with water. Place rice into a rice cooker with equal parts water and cook. Once finished cooking, add salt to taste and unsalted butter. Stir until fully melted and incorporated. Add in finely chopped cilantro and the juice of one lime. Stir until combined. For preparing the chicken: Place chicken thighs into a bowl and coat thoroughly with satay marinade base and sugar. In a medium skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan, and once hot, add the chicken. Sear for 2-3 minutes. Flip and sear for 1-2 more minutes. Add chicken pieces to a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven set to 400F for 10-15 minutes or until internal temperature is 165F. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss in its own juices. For making the beans: In a medium saucepan, add unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add in sliced sweet onion, salt, and pepper, sliced jalapenos, and stir to coat with the butter. Let cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables begin to soften. Add in a can of black beans, hot sauce, and salt to taste. Stir until incorporated. Continue to cook, while stirring often, until everything is hot. In a separate cold pan, add sliced bacon and set to medium heat. Let cook and stir often until it's rendered fat and cooked through and crisp. Remove the bacon from the fat, drain with a paper towel, and once drained finely chop. Add chopped bacon to the beans and stir until incorporated. For the fajitas vegetables: In a medium bowl, toss together the sliced red bell pepper, sliced sweet onion, and sliced jalapenos until evenly mixed. In the same pan, the bacon is cooked in, heat until medium-high and add in the sliced veggies, and season with salt. Cook tossing occasionally for 3-5 minutes or until lightly charred and just beginning to soften. Turn off the heat and add in chopped garlic, toss together, and season with salt to taste. For the aioli: Add all ingredients into a medium bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined and incorporated. Putting it all together: On a warm tortilla, lay down a layer of rice, hot beans, chicken, a drizzle of aioli, a layer of fajita veggies, an optional sprig of cilantro and a grating of cheddar cheese. Grab the sides and fold towards the center, grab the bottom and roll over the filling and over the folded insides nice and tight all the way up until fully wrapped. Ready to serve.
