Kue Tiao in Prawn Soup

Salam all,

Betul ke tak ejaan kue tiao ni? Kira betul je lah kan. This is something that I prepared for dinner. Kadang-kadang tu buntu memikirkan nak masak apa. Melompat-lompat dari satu dapur ke satu dapur, still could not figure out what to cook. Kids do not really like eating rice, especially Hakim. He will grumble if rice is served --- "tadi kat sekolah dah makan nasi, ni makan nasi lagi ... hmmmm.... ---

A visit to Kedai Pak Aji for some vege in the evening gave the idea of having kue tiao. But not the fried kue tiao, it's kue tiao in soup. This simple recipe I got from my cousin, Abang Fadzil. As an ex-army, he likes cooking, creative and like to try new recipes. He is already 60++. His recipe requires the kue tiao to be wrapped in the egg, but I just ignore the steps as my dear Sabrina cannot eat egg ---- malas pun ye jugak.

Here goes.




The ingredients:
5 - 6 medium sized prawns
Sliced/ minced chicken/ chicken ball etc. - to add flavour to the soup
5 cloves of garlic - chopped
1 red onion - sliced
2 table spoon of Corn flour - to thicken the soup
Some veges - spinach, tomato etc.
Salt and pepper to taste.
2 table spoon of cooking oil

How to:
  1. Heat the wok and cooking oil. Saute the garlic till brownish.
  2. Once brownish, add the prawn. Turning it once it turn red, add minced chicken.
  3. Let the liquid in the prawn appear before adding the plain water for the soup.
  4. Remove the prawns from the wok so that it will not destroy the texture.
  5. Let it boil for a little while until the chicken is well cooked. Add veges.
  6. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Finally, pour in the corn flour mixture. Let it boil and ready to be served.
Eat it with the kue tiao that has been boiled very briefly.

This is Sabrina's bowl - without the sliced egg.

Bon Appetite

Wassalam ...

Kebab

Good morning!!!! Let's make a different today. (At least for my kitchen). Done with cereals, nasi lemak, lempeng or mee goreng, lets have something different this morning. Considering the kids only had something light for their dinner last nite, I resort to making an instant kebab!! Mmmm .... Amacam? Terliur tak? Well, very easy to prepare. I used all the instant ingredients. Onion - diced Ayamas Chicken burger - suitable for grilling, defrost and sliced (do not take too long to defrost it as it is difficult to slice it later) Olive - sliced Tomato - diced Olive oil Oppss... don't forget the bread - I use Gardenia's rolls. 1. Heat the pan with olive oil. 2. Fry the sliced chicken burger till cooked. 3. Add onion, tomato and olive. 4. Add seasonings - salt & pepper. 5. Cut the roll in the center vertically, but do not separate it. Apply butter onto it. 4. Toast it over the burning stove for a while (to replace charcoal burn). 5. Stuffed the chicken burger. 6. Garnish wit...

Nasi goreng ringkas

Assalamualaykum Rushing from office to our home. Need a quick fix for the dinner?  Fried rice is the simple answer. A scenario. You came home late. Rushing from the office and decided not to cook.  Both the husband and you had not had a hefty meal for lunch earlier. Therefore you opted to eat out at a Malay restaurant. What would you order? Fried rice? Well, why not make it yourself?  Use all the available ingredients and kitchen tools. How I made mine? The rice: Entering the house, I placed my things near the counter. I quickly walked to the kitchen. 1 cup of rice is sufficient for the two of us. Washed and rinsed it, I cooked it in a Noxxa pressure cooker for 7 minutes. At times, I cooked using the Tupperware rice cooker (cooked in the microwave) for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, I get the ingredients ready for my fried rice. 1 onion 3 garlics 1 handful of anchovies 2 red chillies Throw everything into the blender and blend it fin...
