Lempeng Nyoq

Assalamualaikum,

Peningnya memikir nak masak apa.
Rasanya macam masalah sejagat. 
I always thought of preparing a week's menu. But it never happen yet. Perhaps one day it will.

This is my fast solution for tonight's dinner.
Lempeng kelapa @roti nyog @lempeng nyoq @lempeng nyiur.
Those are the synonyms. Variety of names referring to one product.

'Nyog' is coconut pronounced in the the northern states of Malaysia.
Nyiur or nyior is coconut pronounced in the eastern states of Malaysia.
In Bahasa Melayu, we called it 'kelapa'.
Lempeng is similar to flat bread but it is a batter rather than a dough.


Enough blabbering. 
Now with the recipe:
I get hold of a small packet of grated coconut about 2 cups. (Preferably only the white is used). Put in a bowl.
Next I added 1 cup of multipurpose flour.
I added 1 beaten egg.
A pinch of salt to taste.
And finally about 1 cup of plain water.
Mix everything well.
The batter should be runny. Add more water if it does not.
Then, spoon the batter onto a hot griddle. Flatten it just like making a pancake. 
Let it cook on one side. Then flip to cook on the other side.
Once ready, serve it.

You can enjoy it with curry, sambal ikan bilis or even the brown rice.
Enjoy...!

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...

Nasi goreng ringkas

Assalamualaykum Rushing from office to our home. Need a quick fix for the dinner?  Fried rice is the simple answer. A scenario. You came home late. Rushing from the office and decided not to cook.  Both the husband and you had not had a hefty meal for lunch earlier. Therefore you opted to eat out at a Malay restaurant. What would you order? Fried rice? Well, why not make it yourself?  Use all the available ingredients and kitchen tools. How I made mine? The rice: Entering the house, I placed my things near the counter. I quickly walked to the kitchen. 1 cup of rice is sufficient for the two of us. Washed and rinsed it, I cooked it in a Noxxa pressure cooker for 7 minutes. At times, I cooked using the Tupperware rice cooker (cooked in the microwave) for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, I get the ingredients ready for my fried rice. 1 onion 3 garlics 1 handful of anchovies 2 red chillies Throw everything into the blender and blend it fin...

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 ...
