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...

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 ...).
