Day 2 Ramadhan: Asam Pedas Utara and others


Salam all,

On your left is the dish that we had for iftar on the second day of Ramadhan.

From top left, clockwise: the salted Kurau fish, Asam pedas Utara, Omelet, Chicken in black soya sauce (ayam masak kicap), fried kurau.

Center: Spinach special

Very simple menu but really mouth watering especially with the salted kurau there.

I did not plan to cook much on 2nd day of Ramadhan. Ayah planned to go to surau for iftar with Hakim (he said that it's going to be a month event). When there's only Sabrina and me, the Ayam Masak Kicap is good enough. At almost 5.30pm, he suddenly changed his mind and decided that even with pizza is better if we had it at home, which indicates that he wanted to have the iftar at home. Digging into my fridge for a fast and easy dish, I decided that it's going to be the Asam Pedas, northern style.


Ingredients:
3-4 red chillis*
1 red onion*
3-4 garlic*
5g anchovies
Fish (any)
Tamarind juice
Daun Kesum
1 inch belacan
salt to taste

How to:
1. Blend all the * labelled ingredients and put in a pot for cooking.
2. Put in the anchovies, fish, belacan and daun kesum. Let it simmer for a while.
3. Next, put in the tamarind juice and once boil, put in the fish and salt. Let it simmer.
4. Ready to be served.

Easy & Healthy!!!

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.
