Chicken Black Pepper

Aha! Cooking again.

Alhamdulillah, I am finally cooking again in my home sweet home, in my newly uplift kitchen. Alhamdulillah again.

Last Sunday(15th August 2010) was my first day doing a 'real' cooking for the family, especially for the berbuka. Since moving back into the house, there are so many things happened. Moved back-in in a flash, kenduri, I fell sick for almost 2 weeks (as usual, especially when I am very tired), went to Dungun for the Programming and Multimedia Competition, and followed by taking care of Sabrina who was admitted to a medical center. Fuhhh! What a hapenings.

Sabrina was discharged on Friday (13th August), not enough time for cooking, Saturday, the cabinet team was busy installing the kitchen cabinet (stove off again...), only Sunday I started a 'real' cooking for the break fast.

But, chicken black pepper wasn't the menu for Sunday (I forgot what I cooked that day, getting old already - hey! its my birthday today, memang dah makin tua). This is what we had for berbuka yesterday. Ayah asked ibu to make something that the kids would want to eat as everybody is not feeling very well, therefore no appetite. Hmmm... what could it be? Masak kicap? Too often. Aha! Instead of beef black pepper, let's change to chicken black pepper, and I know Hakim normally likes it.

The recipe

Chicken cut into small parts
Ginger - sliced
Garlic and onion - diced
Carrot
Onion - sliced (for decoration later)
Spring onion
Tomato
Black pepper (grounded coarsely + bottled)
Salt
Corn flour that has been mixed with water (to thicken the gravy)


How to:
1. Fry the sliced ginger, and the diced garlic and onion till fragrant.
2. Add chicken and fry till cooked.
3. Add carrot.
4. Pour in the black pepper (to your taste)
5. Add some water (as my kids like the gravy, mine is a bit watery)
6. When everything is cooked, pour the corn flour
7. Add the decorative items.

And ready to be served.

Oppss ... sorry no photo. Not enough time to snap.

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...

Asam Pedas Keladi

'Asam Pedas Keladi' or 'Spicy & Sour Yam Soup' is one of our favourite. Atikah likes it most. It's a kind of traditional dish and can be categorized as vegetables. We can eat both it's rhizome and it's stalk. The rhizome is delicious to be made into 'pengat' - a dessert which consist of coconut milk and sugar as the sauce and the rhizome that has been boiled. Or you can also have a fritter out of the rhizome. For the stalk, we can turn it into a spicy soup. But! be careful with the resin. It might ruin your clothes if in contact. A search in the internet found me with this interesting health facts about yam. Yams provide a very good source of potassium and fiber. They also offer a good source of vitamins B1, B6 and C. In addition, yams are a good source of manganese and carbohydrates. They contain large amounts of B6, which required by the liver, and also contain folic acid and other B vitamins which help to detoxify excess estrogen. This action ...

Cheese Cake

Tak sangka sungguh nak buat cheese cake ni. It came from K.Yan. She was telling how Sarah made cheese cake at Mak Long's house, and it excites me. I decided to make one. Luckily, hubby is so supportive to assist me in finding the ingredients (even though he doesnt like cheese). The ingredient: Philadelphia Cream Cheese Digestive Biscuit (for the base) Butter (leave at room temperature) 2 eggs Whipping cream Evaporated Milk to taste. (no exact measurement was given, as k.yan practically taste it before baking ;-)) Steps: 1. Blend the biscuits into crumbs. 2. Mix it with butter. Just enough butter is required to wet the biscuit. 3. Press onto a baking tray to form a base for the cheese cake. 4. Whip the cream cheese in the mixer till doubled. 5. Add whip cream, evaporated milk and eggs. 6. Pour onto the base. Bake in the oven. But .... as my microwave was malfunctioning, we opt to steam it and the result was superb and in fact better (according to kak yan la ...).
