Black Glutinous Rice Porridge @ Bubur Pulut Hitam


Salam All,

Hakim is really full of ideas this Ramadhan. He came up with various eating desires. It helps me in a way - helps me in deciding what to cook for iftar as I always have problem with that. One evening, we were watching a cooking show on TV and it shows how to make a porridge. I told him that it would taste good to have porridge for iftar. and his response, "Kenapa tak buat bubur yang warna purple? (why not make the purple porridge)". I immediately know what he meant. It is the Black Glutinous Rice Porridge. I don't normally stock the black rice at home as it easily spoilt. Therefore we decided to head to a supermarket for a packet of a Black Glutinous Rice or black rice, and of course with some other things to buy on the list.

A quick browse on the internet found me with an interesting new knowledge about this black rice. The black rice is being compared to berries for its antioxidant, as mentioned by this article: black rice which in addition to its high level of antioxidants contains less sugar and more fiber and vitamin E than blueberries. There is even a website dedicated to this black rice: click here.

A Quote from that website, In addition to its almost legendary antioxidant properties, Black Rice is also a well known anti-inflammatory food; which helps cut down on general infections and illnesses. In recent studies antioxidants have been found to seriously slow down the aging process, so Black Rice is really worth eating if just for those benefits alone; but it also offers an entire host of other great benefits in addition to that as well.

O Wow! All this while I've been eating the black glutinous porridge just for its taste, but now I now that it has some medicational value too.

The making of the porridge is quite simple. What you need are:

A cup of the black glutinous rice (soaked overnight for a fast cooking)
3 tbs sugar
Coconut milk (i used the fresh milk because my dear Sabrina is allergic to coconut milk)
A pinch of salt

To make a porridge:
1. Boil the black rice in water that is doubled the rice quantity until the rice doubled and soft. Add water frequently. While boiling, stir once in a while as it easily sticks to the bottom of your cooking pot.
2. Once doubled and soft, add sugar, salt and the coconut milk(or fresh milk). And it's done.

Since I substitute the coconut milk with the fresh milk, I topped my porridge with some coconut milk for decoration.

Adios, Cheerios, Enjoy ....

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

Masak lemak Daun Kaduk

Assalamualaikum Pokok kaduk tumbuh membiak di sekitar rumahku dengan suburnya. Adakalanya terpaksa dicantas buang kerana telah menyesakkan pandangan. Tertanya-tanya juga apa lagi yang boleh dibuat dengan daun kaduk ni. Kata pepatah, "Malu bertanya sesat jalan". Dalam bersembang-sembang bersama rakan sepejabat mengenai pokok-pokok herba ni, beliau mencadangkan untuk buat masak lemak daun kaduk, Sedap, katanya. Well, why not? Inilah hasilnya. Caranya: Balik dari pejabat, aku memetik beberapa helai daun kaduk (sebab ini peringkat percubaan makanya tak boleh masak banyak, bimbang jadi pembaziran pulak). Ada la dalam 20 helai daun kaduk.  Dicuci bersih.  Kemudian dicelur. (Celur untuk mengurangkan baunya. Kalau OK dengan baunya, tidak perlu celur) Sementara tu, aku mula mengopek bawang merah dan putih.  2 biji Cili api dipatah-patahkan aje (sebab malas nak menumbuk) Seterusnya, rebuskan saja bawang, cili api, ikan bilis dan serbuk kunyit.
