Nasi Lemuni Sambal Sotong

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

Musim-musim hujan macam ni, sedap kalau makan nasi lemuni panas-panas.
This what I cooked days before. The rice was cooked together with this special leaf known as 'lemuni' in the northen part of Malaysia. You can see how the leaf looks like on the left side.


Making it is simple. Just like cooking any nasi lemak except that you need to add some blended lemuni leaf together when cooking the rice.

So, here is what you need to cook this lemuni rice:
3 cups of rice grains - rinse
1 handful of lemuni leafs (only the leaf, remove the stems) - blend with 1 cup of water
1 inch of ginger - sliced
1 onion - sliced
3 cups of coconut milk. I used 'Khalif' the palm milk.
Salt to taste

How to: (using the rice cooker)
1. Put all ingredients into the rice cooker pot.
2. Add salt. Stir to mixed all ingredients well.
3. Set the rice cooker to cook.

And whalla! the rice will cook to perfection.

To add taste to it. Eat with boiled eggs, fried anchovies, cucumber and chilled grated coconut.

Preparing the chilled grated coconut (sambal kelapa):
1 onion
3 fresh chillies
1/4 teaspoon of tamarind paste (I used Adabi)
Salt to taste

Blend everything together using the dry blender till the coconut is fine. Make sure it mix well. Ready to serve.

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.
