Resipi Noxxa: Asam Pedas Ayam

Assalamualaikum... Here I am again....Alhamdulillah the highest gratitude to the Most Merciful Allah. Hari ni nak berkongsi hasil tanganku, yang pertama kali dimasak. First time in my kitchen. The idea to cook this came when a friend of mine, sis Zarina Zainol distributed her homegrown 'bunga kantan'. Bunga kantan is quite expensive nowadays pricing ata RM3 per bud at average. When someone gave it for free, it's a great oppprtunity to turn it into something edible. A modified but copy and paste from Cik Mat Gebu's What is required 5 ketul ayam 2 sudu besar cili kisar (I precooked my chilli paste) 1 batang serai, diketuk 1 genggam daun kesom 1 kuntum bunga kantan, belah 2 1 camca teh asam jawa 2 biji terung ungu, kerat 2, belah 2 setiap keratan, rendam 1 biji tomato dibelah 4 Garam dan gula secukup rasa Air secukupnya Frying 1 ulas bawang merah 2 ulas bawang putih 1/2 inci kunyit hidup 1/2 inci halia 1/2 camca

Gulai Udang dan Kacang Buncis

Assalamualaykum all.... Hari ni nak share one of my favorite dish... that's GULAI UDANG AND KACANG BUNCIS. Kalau di sebelah utara semenanjung Malaysia, that is Seberang Perai and Kedah (that I know of, not sure about Perlis) Gulai udang ni sedap juga dimakan dengan nasi lemak disamping sambal ikan bilis. Kata orang utagha... "boh kuah licau-licau tu" .... mmm...bila makan boleh lupa nak tengok orang lalu lalang, tambah pulak nasi panas dan ada pulak tenggiri masam goreng.... ermmm... meletup!!!! Kesedapannya... mau berpeluh pagi-pagi. Itulah peri sedapnya masakan ni. But again.... only for those who really likes it like myself. Other members of the family? Mr Hubby? ... 'ok... lama dah tak makan. '. Atikah? ...'i dont like it'. Sabrina and Hakim? I wish they were here. The preparation time : approx 30 -40 mins My ingredients: 8 prawns - de-vein 1 large onion 2 tbsp curry powder 1 potato 5 french beans 1 cup coconut milk (i used

Malaya Homemade Coney

Assalamualaykum.... It's dinner time...... As always my mind was working very hard trying to think what should come to the dining table. Rice? No. No. Not rice for today. What now? I virtually go into my fridge trying to scram through it to find anything cookable for tonight. I remembered buying some corn. Boiled corn would be nice. But what should I pair it with? Virtually opening the freezer, I remember buying some fresh meat. Yup.... a homemade burger would be nice.  However, a physical visit at a mini market near my house trying to get the burger buns is to no avail. No burger buns. I later opted for some hotdog buns. What to do with it?? Off course some coney dogs ... but Malaysian style and taste. My recipe for the coney sauce: About 300gms meat - minced 1 onion - chopped 1 tomato - diced 2 tbsp tomato ketchup 1 tbsp mustard Pepper Salt & sugar 1. Fry the meat. 2. Add chopped onion and diced tomato. Cook till everything is cooked and tende

Buttered Chicken

Assalamualaykum all, Hari ni nak share resipi suatu hari yang sangat malas... It was Saturday, I was not feeling very well. Mr Hubby is out for kenduri, meaning that he will not be home for lunch. It was just me and Atikah. I wondered what to have for lunch. The chicken was already thawed, but I still hasn't have any idea .... Arhg.... Aha! I will the easiest of it. I am going to give a good butter massage to the chicken , rub in salt , pepper , McCormick Mixed Herbs and some oregano . Left it for about 5 minutes while reheating the the airfryer. I lay the aluminium foil on the fryer basket. Placed the chicken and get it cooked for about 25 minutes in 180 degree temperature. Once cooked, I squeezed the fresh lemon . Alhamdulillah... it turns out to be very delicious. When Atikah asked whats the name of the dish ....??? .... what should I call it? I called it 'Buttered Chicken'. The idea to rub the chicken with butter because frying with airfr

Buttermilk Waffle and Flooded Peanut Butter

Assalamualaykum Morning all.... Have you had your breakfast? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it gives energy for you to begin your day. So, get a healthy and hearty breakfast. I had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice (from one orange) and waffle this morning. It is a quick and simple mix. Whisk in a bliss!!!! ☺ Mind the burnt, I left it a little too long while squeezing the orange juice for two glasses (for Mr Hubby and me). I love the taste of peanut butter that I had it flooded on the waffle ... hmmm .... yummy. Prep Time: 20 minutes The ingredients: 1 1/2 cup multipurpose flour* 1 tsp baking powder* A pinch of salt* 2 tbsp buttermilk 2 cups fresh milk 1 egg beaten 1 tbsp vege oil A drop of vanilla extract How to: Put all the dry ingredients (*) in a bowl.

Bergedil ayam daun cekur

Assalamualaikum, Terasa macam nak makan bergedil. Kalau makan di kedai makan/ restoran, harganya boleh tahan mahalnya. Yup... the making may not sound so simple. It requires few steps. But the results... insha Allah ... satisfying. Chicken breast is not a favourite in the house. Nobody would want to eat the most healthiest part of the chicken (to me .. hihihi). Most of the time, the chicken breast will turn to be used as condimetns in fried rice, mee or kuetiao, or even for spaghetti sauce. Making 'bergedil' out of the chicken breast is a good solution. I dug my fridge, trying to find enough ingredients to make 'bergedil' ... one item is missing ... the cilantro. Cilantro will give flavors to the 'bergedil'. My cognitive skills quickly recommended another flavor --- the Cekur. And went to my tiny herb garden and dug some cekur out of a pot. Cekur or some people may call it kenchur is from the ginger family. The scientific name for it is

Egg quiche .... again

French Toast with banana

Assalamualaikum all... Selalu sangat bersarapan dengan roti. Kalau asyik dengan cara yang serupa, boleh jadi jemu dan muak. Jadi chef kat rumah ni perlulah berkreatif atau pinjam kreativit kawan/rakan/blogger masakan  untuk menjadikan hidangan tersebut menarik dimakan. But, I am just a part time blogger. Doing it for fun. So that I could come back to the page and check on the recipe, as the name of the blog implies --- my-recipies-collection . Hari ni chef kurang matang ni mencuba menggabungkan pisang dan roti telur. Chef-chef professional dah ramai yang buat. But I am making it for this hypothesis: H1: Mr Hubby likes the banana french toast Ho: Mr Hubby does not like the banana french toast (Amboi ... dah macam buat research le pulak .. ye lah .. cikgu Research Method, kena la praktikkan ilmu). Bahannya : Sama seperti membuat french toast, kita perlukan roti, telur 2 biji, fresh milk, garam, cinnamon powder, pisang Caranya: Aturkan pisang pada

Here comes Churros...

Assalamualaikum My Churros I have been longing to try the churros. Alhamdulillah, with Atikah's (my eldest) help, I finally had the opportunity to make it in our home kitchen. The process was pretty simple. With a simple instruction, Atikah managed to do it on her own. Here come the c&p recipe that I used. Its taken from the Allrecipe website. It is such a help. INGREDIENTS: 1 cup water 2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 quarts oil for frying 1/2 cup white sugar, or to taste 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon DIRECTIONS: 1.

Meehoon Sempoi

Assalamualaikum.... Anak tekak dan selera ni memang menghairankan. Ada kalanya kita 'crave', nak sangat-sangat makan sesuatu. Dan kadang-kadang pula kita 'really dislike' makanan tersebut. Dan bila selera terbuka, selera menghubungkannya dengan otak yang seterusnya menggerakkan kakitangan sehinggakan dalam keadaan letihpun kita masih manpu menyiapkan juadah yang diidam (only applies if we know how to make it). Aku teringin makan meehoon. Hari dah malam. Aku buka petiais in searching for anything to add to the flavor..... there's only chicken. Well..... chicken will do. My ultimate is 'makan meehoon'. Bahan2: 1/2 paket meehoon (direndam) 1 bawang besar 3 ulas bawang putih 1 sudu besar cili kisar Isi ayam Tomato sos (secukup rasa) Garam gula (secukup rasa) Cara: 1. Tumis bawang hingga kekuningan, masukkan isi ayam. Biarkan ia masak. 2. Masukkan cili kisar, tomato sos dan garam. Biarkan semua bahan masak. Tambah air jika perlu. 3

Savoury French Toast

Assalamualaykum and good day all, One nice thing about cooking your own meal is that you can prepare it to suit your taste buds. You can make it savoury, spicy, sweet or sour, just the way you like it. The original french toast is eaten with golden syrup or honey. Being a Malay origin, I'd prefer mine to be slightly savoury, which is not suitable to be eaten with honey or alike. By definition, savoury or savory is having a spicy or salty quality without being sweet (definition by Online Merrriam Webster Dictionary). And that is how I like my french toast to taste.  To make it: 6 slices of sandwich bread *2 egss beaten *1 onion - sliced *Salt and pepper How to: 1. Heat the non-stick griddle  2. Mixed all the ingredient in a bowl 3. Apply butter slightly on both side of the bread 4. Dip the bread into the egg mixture 5. Toast on the griddle till brown on both sides It makes a perfect breakfast. Alhamdulillah .....

Masak Lemak Cili Api Telur Masin

Assalamualaikum Kata orang, "Rezeki jangan Ditolak". Itulah ibarat apa yang terjadi. I have longed hoping to eat this masak lemak cili api but the belimbing buluh seems nowehere to be found. Not always at the market, and the tree outside my house is considered barren.  Coming for kuliah subuh at the surau on Sunday morning, is where the 'rezeki' lies. Alhamdulillah. But... I do not have the suitable fish for the dish. As an alternative, the sailted egg will do. Apa yang kita perlukan:  1 telur masin (for single serving)  1 batang serai (dititik) 1 inci kunyit 10 biji cili api Segenggam belimbing buluh Santan Garam secukup rasa 1. Kisar cili dan kunyit. 2.

Pais ikan Air Tangan Mak

Alhamdulillah ...Seronoknya dapat makan air tangan mak.... Berjasalah dengan ibu selagi hayatnya masih ada. Bahagiakanlah dia. Dia telah bersusah payah menjadikan kita insan berjaya di hari ini.

Serabai

Alhamdulillah.... sedapnya dapat makan air tangan mak. Especially when you come back from a day's work and find that it is readily served.  Serabai .... bukan selalu dapat makan serabai ni. Cannot easily find in just any restaurant. In fact I do not know any restaurant that are selling serabai but I am sure there are. Making serabai mak's style requires few tedious steps, however, the outcome is deliciously amazing.... at least to my taste buds. First we need to make the 'tapai', as mak call it, it must be done at least a day earlier. Next, to prepare the batter and let it sit. Then only to cook it. The recipe: This recipe requires 'tapaian nasi' 1 cawan nasi 1 sudu kecil ragi Caranya: Taburkan ragi di atas nasi. Percikkan air ke atas nasi. Masukkan dalam bekas kedap udara dan biarkan proses penapaian berlaku selama 1 malam (24 jam ). Bahan serabai: 2 1/2 cawan tepung beras 1/2 cawan tepung gandum 2 cawan santan pekat 1/2 bancuh

Ready to go breakfast: Omellete and Baked beans

Assalamulaikum all, At times we are too busy to prepare a breakfast (it is ALWAYS for me) .... but do not feel like having a breakfast outside the house. A fast and simple solution is to bash some eggs into something edible, tasty and healthy. The omellete could just be the answer. My ready to go breakfast With 2 eggs, 1 diced tomato, 1 diced button mushroom, a slice of diced capsicum, 2 table spoon of fresh milk, salt and pepper will do just fine with my husband's appetite. You may add cheese if your are fond of it. But not in my case. Heat the small pan while you mix everything together. Melt a table spoon of butter. Than pour the mixture into the heated melted butter. Let it spread evenly onto the small pan, as it started to hardened, use the spatula to roll the egg to the side on the pan gently. And serve. I like to have my omellete with baked beans .... you can pair it with others ..... bon appetite ..... Wallahualam.

Salted Egg Crab aka. Ketam telur masin

Assalamualaikum... Alhamdulillah... i am back. Yup. True. Have not been posted any updates for quite sometime... no reasons. It is just because .... However, i am currently feeling at the top when i managed to successfully prepare the much likeable (at least by us) The Salted Egg Crab. First tried the dish at Adam Lai in  Shah Alam and we immediately fell in love with the taste. But... as we aware, eating crab at a restaurant does not gives us the pleasure of sucking everything to the last bit which makes us think twice to order it again. Able to cook it at home satisfies me....  My Salted Egg Crab Enough with the crap, now back to the recipe. Thanks to net technology, the recipe is found through various cooking blogs.. thanks to all. Ingredients (I) 2 crabs - halved and cleaned Corn starch Salt and pepper Frying oil We begin preparing the crab. Coat the crab with the corn starch, salt and pepper. The fry to cook. Cooled. (II) 2 salted egg Boile
