Sambal Telor Mata Kerbau



Ini I masak sambal telor mata kerbau pulak. Sambal sebenarnya ader macam-macam jenis dan bahan yang boleh digunakan, terpulang kepada selera masing-masing. Like myself I always make a basic sambal recipe that will suit most dishes and easier for me to work with. Kebanyakkan sambal menggunakan “belacan” sebagai penambah perisa but for myself since I got allergy to it so my sambal no longer has “belacan” Huwaaaaaaaa…..

Things To Have:

Yang paling penting to have is cili boh or cili blend! How to make cili blend? I will write under small foot note bawah ni yer, cili blend digunakan dalam lebih kurang 2 senduk( depends pada banyak maner meal you tu) next is bawang putih and bawang merah paste dalam dua sudu besar each. I suka guna bawang besar (yang bersaiz sederhana) sebiji dalam my sambal, manis bawang is much more nicer than manis gula. And if you suka boleh lah gunakan belacan sikit say an inch or so. Kalau suka nak masam sikit boleh tambah tamarind juice sikit or asam limau, and lastly seasoning. And not to forget; EGGS! I used like 3-4 M size fried eggs. You can use hard boiled eggs too. That is it. Simple kan bahan-bahan for my BASIC sambal?

How To Make:

Heat oil and stir fry garlic and shallot paste, once naik bau masukkan pulak cili blend tadi and continue to fry until cooked. How to know it’s cooked? The color will turn brownish or dark red and you can see “pecah minyak” then add in the sliced onion and a bit of hot water so that the sambal will have a bit of gravy (you can opt for tamarind juice too just a table spoon or so, if you like a bit of sourness in the sambal). Continue to fry until everything is cooks, don’t forget some seasoning. I always use a pinch of sugar in my sambal to balance off the sourness of tamarind or limejuice and the spiciness of the chili. Once cooked pour on the fried eggs and WALLAH!!! Sambal Telo Mata Kerbau.

Notes: 

Potong atau gunting cili kering halus dan buang biji nya. Cuci bersih dan rebus dalam periuk sehingga cili menjadi lembut, cukup lembut untuk dikisar. Tapis, bersihkan lagi dan dikisar sehingga lumat. Boleh tambahkan sesudu minyak biasa kedalam pengisar untuk memudahkan lagi kerja mengisar cili tersebut

Sotong biasa dalam 4-5 ekor (dibersihkan, buang kulit dan potong nipis ikut kesesuain diri yang nak makan), 1-teaspoon garlic paste, a pinch of salt, chili powder (optional if you want to make hot and spicy crispy sotong), 3 tablespoon tepung jagung, 1 table spoon tepung beras, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 egg white and oil to fry.

How To Make:

Marinate the squid with garlic, salt, chili powder (optional, if you like) and keep refrigerated for a while. Campurkan tepung-tepung dan baking powder dalam satu bekas dan tambah kan sedikit garam kalau perlu. Kemudian gaul rata.. bila dah sedia nak menggoreng, panaskan minyak.

Mee Kari Nyonya




 
Hello everyone.. hari nih sue masak Mee Kari Nyonya; thanx to my dear friend Tasha for her original recipe. I did some alteration to it and and make it a simplified version of my Malay Mee Kari.
Things to have:
Thick/thin noodles (mee, kuey teow, meehun), fish ball, fish cake, tofu puff, garlic+shallot+chili paste (a table spoon each), curry powder (2 table spoon), curry leaves, santan(about 100ml), chicken stock and seasonings too, garnishes; boiled eggs, sawi, fried tofu and sliced, shredded chicken, sliced chili, and fried shallots.
How to make:
Boil water in a pot with a cube of chicken stock. At boiling point I put in fish cake, fish ball, and tofu puff continue to let it boil. In a separate small nonstick frying pan I used some olive oil and stir-fry all the pastes including curry leaves and curry powder until brownish and thick, later simply pour it direct from the pan to the hot boiling water in the pot and stir well. Add in santan and continue to stir. At this point use the smalles fire so that the santan will cook without “pecah minyak” and the gravy will look nice and creamy. Add in seasoning and serve hot with noodles and all the side garnishes.

Easy kan? Good luck every one.
Ps: Nyonya Curry Mee usually comes with sambal. So simple fry plain sambal to go with the curry mee if you wish too. Or you can refer to my sambal recipes.



BUKA PUASA 2010

BUKA PUASA


It has beed a week since my last post kan? Aper I buat lama sangat tak blogging? Maner I pegi?? Shopping? Terperap kat bilik? Ish… tak lah.. langsung tak. I HAVE BEEN COOKING!!! Reason being is; on the first day of Ramadhan myself went to the food bazaar anxiously to buy nice food.. Upon arrival I just stood there staring at the crowd! Oh my.. look at those people! Ramainyer… macam maner nka beli lauk nih.. I pun mula lah berjalan.. tinjau saner, tinjau sini.. adoyai.. nak tengok lauk pun susah.. semua orang kerumu semua lauk pauk, kuih muih dan segala macam yang jual kat saner lah. Smoke was everywhere.. sebelah gerai jual kuih pulak ader gerai jual smoked BBQ chicken wings, and sebelah lagi jual ayam percik.. aduh, aper rasa kuih-kuih tu agaknyer kalau dah penuh berasap berjam-jam kan? Bila I tengok orang pulak berebut-rebut pilih kuih sampai ader yang tak nak tunggu penyepit t uterus guna tangan amik kuih(err.. bila dia tak nak dia letak balik kuih tu!) I jadi berfikir.. lebih baik I masak kat rumah and learn make new kuih-kuih especially kuih melayu. So here are the pictures of my cooking lately and I will definitely write the quick and easy recipes ASAP!

Natasha Eone




Siapakah beliau? Hehe… nih I nak cerita sikit pasal my friend nih… yeah I just met her recently from my BFF Debbie and from her we became friends.. when Debbie 1st told me “sue, u have to meet this lady lah, she has same experience as you do and same interests with you; BLOGGING!! She makes money tau by blogging..”

So one day I met Tasha, we had breakfast and since then we talked online everyday and night hehe.. I find this woman is an amazing person. She is very positive thinking and encourages me on loads of things. Recently I started cooking again, which I have been so long not done it hahahhaha… everyday I will ask Tasha now aper dia amsak tuk husband. She cooks everything for her husband, believe me.. EVERYTHING! Bila I tengok dia masak fulltime, I fikir, come on sue you ader anak kecik better you start cooking too, soon Diya will want to eat like normal kids. Infact I feel I patutnya dah start masak for main occasions like Hari Raya, birthdays and many more but ntah kenapa I just stop cooking at one point and prefer ‘tapau’ food. Ish.. ish.. ish..

Tasha banyak guide and discipline me, now dia guide I untuk jadi a good blogger, she discipline me quite much (siap call me kul 5.30 am tau kejut I bangun pagi n start my day early hehehe), bila I sedih or feeling depress dia banyak sabar kan .. tengaok pada zahirnya Tasha ni memang happy go lucky person but bila dia bagi I certain entry dalam her BLOG and I baca I jadik terharu n fikir wow, her life is very challenging and how come I’m complaining bout mine so much??!
So hari nih I masak ikan sambal, sayur lodeh goring, and my sedap stuffed tofu puff! Tasha told me she made kuih apam and they’re dining outside later hhehehe..

Ps: Tasha I pinjam gamba you satu yer heheheh..
