Santan-less Nasi Lemak

Assalamualaikum all,

I am here today, after a long break. And consistently on break. Sharing with you today is my Santan-less Nasi Lemak.

Hakim's. Fried his own egg with ibu's help

This is how we enjoy nasi lemak in my house. Due to Sabrina's allergy and my laziness, our nasi lemak is always santan-less. Or else, Sabrina may never be able to taste what it is nasi lemak. This recipe came out after several failings, failures and frustration. And now, I would like to share the tips and tricks of making the SANTAN-LESS NASI LEMAK as how my family accepted it. --- Accepted it -- because if given choices, we would prefer the one with high cholestrol --- that is with santan. :-)

The Ingredients:

For the rice:
3 cups of rice (Basmathi if you prefer it)
4 cups of plain water 
1 large onion
1 inch of ginger - sliced
1 table spoon of evaporated milk
2 tablespoon of olive oil
1 Pandanus leaf - tie into a knot
Salt to taste

How to:

1. Rinse the rice and put aside.
2. Heat the pot. Put in the olive oil. Followed by the pandanus leaf, onion and ginger.
3. Wait till the fragrant of the ginger is strong, add the milk and followed immediately is the rice.
4. Mix well.
5. Later add in the water. When it starts boiling, lower the heat and put the lid on. 
6. Wait till the rice is cooked.


Sabrina's. Only with egg yolk.
The sambal : For the sambal, as I always have my chillies readily cooked. When coming home from the office at 6pm, I simply at the squid into the chilly paste. Let it boil, and everything is ready. That is how working mothers survived with their dinners on weekdays.

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

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.
