Nasi Tomato [Tomato Rice]

Let's cook Tomato Rice today. I'll show how to cook the Tomato Rice step-by-step. Below are some steps that I'll point out:


Soak the basmathi rice for 1-2 hours. After that, clean the basmathi rice thoroughly with pipe water for about 3 times (depends on how clean is the rice you want. If u r the Bree's type of person[from Desperate Housewives] probably you'll clean the rice more than 3 times!). Pour the cleaned rice in the rice cooker. Add fresh sweetcorn*(fyi, the sweetcorn from Tesco is much sweeter than Morrisons), carrot(cubic), and the stir-fried ingredients[tumis darat].
*My abah always add sweetcorn in his nasi tomato recipe. He said: " the sour taste of fresh tomato blend with the sweetness of corn produce a lovely taste (masam2x-manis)." The rice also will look fancy with colours - Ooouh...!Luvly!


The stir-fried ingredients or bahan Tumis Darat:
shallots, garlic, red onion, ginger - machine or pound all the ingredients.
Hot the pan with vegetable oil (I didn't use minyak sapi. Vege oil taste better). Stir-fry the pounded ingredients with rempah 4 beradik [bunga lawang, bunga cengkih, buah pelaga & kulit kayu manis] and Pandan leaves. Salt to taste. After yellowish or dah garing add in the rice cooker. Mix with the other ingredients.


I never used ready-made tomato puree when I cook tomato rice instead, I machine the red&ripe fresh tomatoes. Produce pure and core tomato liquid - much better. Pour it in the rice cooker.


Aha! Don't forget to add fresh milk. One of the most important ingredient too.... Than, cook the rice as usual.


After the rice is already cooked, add giant peas and raisins. Mixed well. I used giant peas as above - softer than normal peas even Nigella Lawson opts to used that giant peas in her cooking.



Walla! This is what the Tomato Rice will looks like at end of the process. Fancy ??!



Let's eat! with Chicken Dhal and Papadam.

Bihun Sup

Bihun Sup

ChEQ tak tau pasaipa orang tanya kat ChEQ : "awat bihun sup utara color kuning???" ChEQ terkedu sat pasai setahu ChEQ tak semua bihun sup Utara warna kuning. Seingat ChEQ bihun sup kantin sekolah ChEQ saja (yg semangkuk 3 kupang or 5 kupang? dah tak ingat) color kuning. Tapi ChEQ tak makan pun bihun sup tu pasai ChEQ tak berkenan warna kuning tu. Okay, pasai ChEQ tak berapa berkenan dgn bihun sup color kuning, hari nie ChEQ nak share resepi bihun sup Utara tanpa color.

Sup:
Tumis bawang merah+bawang putih+halia. Masukkan stock tulang dan daging. Tambah carrot. Dah empuk masukkan celery dan garam serta sup bunjut (atau bancuhan serbuk sup). Kalau nak rasa style Sup Siam - ketuk2 cabai melaka dan perah air limau nipis.

Sambal Merah (sambal nie wajib kena ada. if not, tak kick meh!):
Tumis bawang besaq dan cabai kering(kisar @ giling @ mesin). Dah garing tambah sos cili pedas dan sos cili manis. Tambah air sedikit dan gula+garam. Masak sampai sambal tu pekat.

Bihun:
Rendam semalaman. Peh tu celur.

Garnish dgn bawang goreng dan daun sup + coriander.

Moi and the swollen gum.

Moi @ bubur nasi


Such a bit shock waking-up on last Sunday morning seeing my husband cheek bloated ... he said he got a swollen gum. We keep wondering why suddenly the gum become swollen because on the day before in fact, the night before, the tooth, the gum are in the good condition. But than, I called my Big Brother, and he told me that may be my husband is facing a wisdom teeth problem.
The cause of impacted wisdom teeth is the teeth often don't have enough room to erupt because modern human beings have a shorter jawbone. This causes wisdom teeth to grow slanted, horizontally, or even to be completely buried inside the jawbone. In the end, the gum will swollen badly like what happen to my husband. Anyway, this is only an assumption from us. We still need to see the dentist to get the right pescription.

I end up cooking moi or bubur nasi for him since he can't chew properly. Below is the moi recipe.

Rice (1 pot), Water (1 liter), daging (cubic), carrot (cubic), potato (cubic), and salt to taste, Pour all in the ingredients in the cooker. Cook as you cook normal nasi.

Garnish with telur masin or ikan bilis goreng.

Ayam Masak Merah

Ayam Kicap Seri Serai

Don't you feel it is so monotonous to cook chicken with the same menu?

This was my last year menu:
Monday - Ayam Masak Kicap
Tuesday - Ayam Paprik
Wednesday - Ayam Goreng Halia
Thursday - Ayam Paprik (leftover from Tuesday)
Friday - Gulai Ayam
Saturday - Ayam Masak Kicap
Sunday - Donnington Park. Hahaaaaha

DULL!

I don't give much attention to create a variation of chicken menu because I rather eat fish or seafood than a chicken. Somehow, I think to be a good chef you'll need to try various recipes and know-how to cook it or even invent a recipe. Brilliant! This year I'll manipulate the ingredients and create a new menu for chicken and keep bugging my mom for her appetizing recipes

Let's start with my new Ayam Kicap Seri Serai recipe

Method:
1. ***Salut ayam dgn kunyit + garam.( approx. 7 medium pieces) Goreng ayam. Put aside.
2. Stir-fry the pounded ingredients (3 cloves garlic, 1 red onions, 1/2" ginger and 3 btg serai). Kalau nak pedas, ketuk cabai melaka (3 biji).
3. After turn yellowish or dah garing, add kicap manis and masin.
4. Add the fried chicken. Add 2 tbs tamarind juice and a pinch of salt.
5. Finally add tomatoes, and big red onion, red chillies.

*** I watched Nigella Lawson used a plastic bag and put the turmeric powder and salt with the chicken inside. Than, she "lambung2x" the filled plastic bag so that the chicken disalut dgn turmeric powder + salt evenly. Our hands also won't be dirty by doing that. Good trick
