Tomarot Rice

Salam all, This was cooked on Monday when the kids are off school in conjunction with the Maal Hijrah celebration. I cooked the rice early in the morning before leaving for the office for their lunch. For the lauk-pauk, sorry kids, this all I have time for you " The Two Sauces Chicken Ball ". The name TOMAROT is actually a combination of the two main ingredients I put in the rice. It's the tomato and carrot, and become TOMAROT. Making it requires: 2 cups of washed Basmathi rice 2 large onions 1/2 inch ginger 1/2 carrot 2 tomatoes 1 cup of Fresh milk 1 tablespoon of sugar Salt to taste the three stooges spices (bunga lawang, kulit kayu manis, and cengkih) 3 tablespoon of cooking oil Preparation: Blend the onion, ginger and tomatoes. Coarsely shredded the carrot Onion for saute Cooking: 1. Saute the onion and the three stooges till you can smell the aroma. 2. Add the blended ingredients. 3. Add the shredded carrot. 4. Add milk, sugar and salt. Let it boil. 5. Add the rice g

French beans Pizza

Salam all, Yiihhaaa .... my third blog update in a row!!! Not bad huh for someone who did not regularly update her blog. And now it's Pizza time. I made it last week, Tuesday (yes, I remembered the day very well because it was ayah's badminton day). The kids refuse to eat rice, they just had 'goreng pisang' and some 'kuih muih' after returning from school and said that they were full and do not want to eat anymore. Ayah, as usual will not eat rice on his badminton's night. Therefore, at 8pm, I started to prepare the dough and two hours later, the pizza is already in the oven. Hmmm .... fresh homemade pizza! Fresh from the oven!!! Wonderfully delicious!!! You can pick your own toppings!!! For me, why french beans? Let's read what I found about french beans from here : Consumption of French Beans helps in toning spleen and kidneys Increasing haemoglobin count and provides energy to the body without adding calories. alleviating swelling stomach ,bad appeti

Black Pomfret in Tauchu

Salam all, Nothing much left in the fridge. Tomorrow will be 'shopping day' or 'fish market day'. What's left is this black pomfret (bawal hitam lah tu!!!). Black pomfret will make a delicious curry, but I don't feel like eating curry at the moment. I guess, I am the only Penangian who does not crazily likes curry. If curry is not to my desire, what's cooking??? Well, a simple Bawal Taucu is delicious too. Taucu? Anybody here does not know what taucu is? Taucu is made from black soy bean, fermented and salty. How's cooking? Simple, all you need are: 2 table spoon of taucu (easily bought from any groceries shop, either bottled or packed for single use) 1 large onion, sliced into rings tamarind juice (I used adam jawa xtra - nak cepat) fresh chillies (I used the cili paid - small but spicy chill for a hotter taste as my husband likes it) 2 table spoon cooking oil About a cup of plain water No salt please as the taucu is already very salty. Do not forget th

Floating Spinach

Salam all, Sunday is a day when I would like to try out new recipe or new ideas for cooking. I am trying this one today. I watched the program called "5 Rencah 5 Rasa" on Astro yesterday and was trying hard to memorize the recipe to try it out. And here it is, today, I tried it. It's crunchy and very filling. You can just eat it just like that or dip into any sauce of your like. The name given by the chef was something else but I changed it to "Floating Spinach" as it floats when you fry it. Besides spinach, you can fry any other vege using the same batter. I tried with mushroom and it was yummy too. Getting the kids to eat vege is not an easy task. By doing this, they enjoyed it. This is not my first time doing this vege coated recipe, however, my earlier trials was just using the simply bought of the shelfs tempura flour. This time, with the homemade batter, I guarantee you the taste that will make you want more. A quick search on the interne t found me with t
