Lemak Kuning Rebung + Tetel

Damn ! Soo many things to do yet so little time. I've to rush out lots of things today before I could disappear from the office tomorrow. On top of that, I'm already in the holiday mood - too excited to work.

So, in order not to disappoint my regular readers ( hahahaha....like there's any! ), today I'm just gonna post a recipe....the so-called "Recipe of The Week". It's my darling Marsya's favourite dish - Lemak Kuning Rebung + Tetel. The picture alone is so mouth-watering isn't it? So, here's the recipe :

Lemak Kuning Rebung + Tetel

Ingredients

300 - 500 gm daging tetel

400 gm pickled bamboo shoots, sliced

1 box of coconut milk ( I've used M&S brand)

1 lemon grass, crushed

4-5 pcs kaffir lime leaves

To Blend

20 cili padi

1 cm tumeric

5 shallots

1 cm ginger

1 garlic

How To

Cut the beef into small pieces & boil till soft / tender. Just to share some facts - tetel is the term used here in KL. Back in Kuantan, it is known as "daging cincang".

Mix well the blended ingredients with the coconut milk. Add in the boiled beef, lemon grass & the lime leaves. If you're using the boxed coconut milk, you can add in the beef stock (the water used to boil the beef earlier) to dilute the coconut milk. Otherwise, it shall depends on how thick you would want the gravy to be.

Put the mixture to boil over medium heat. Then add in the bamboo shoots & seasoning to taste. Done !

Just to share with you readers something about pickled bamboo shoots. Well, there are two types sold in the market :

Type A

Type B

Type A is better in taste as compared to Type B and because of that, you have to pay more for it.....which is quite normal. Good things don't come cheap, isnt it? The Type A is normally softer & the smell is less stinkier. So, now that you know this, make sure you make the right choice when buying pickled bamboo shoots or rebung.

Xpress Chicken Tandoori

Had a sudden craving for a Tandoori Chicken. So, rather than buying it, why not be a bit adventurous & try doing it myself. But since the craving is too great, I cant spare any more time browsing for the recipe in the net. So, got no choice but to make do with the instant Tandori mix from Maggi, which was not that bad after all.

Xpress Chicken Tandoori

2 whole chicken legs

1 packet of Maggi Tandoori mix

3 tbsp plain yogurt

1 tbsp chilli powder

1 tsp ginger paste

1 tbsp margarine

How To

- Make 2 -3 cuts on the meaty part of the chicken

- Marinate the chicken with all the ingredients for half an hour

.

- Spread the marinated chicken with margarine ( preferably Ghee but me no like)

- Then, grill it in the oven for approximately 30 minutes.

- Your Tandoori Chicken is ready to be served.

Chicken Feet In Soy Sauce

Do you eat chicken feet? Me & Marsya loves them so much....it's so yummy! I know some people dun like them - dirty they said. Well, to those people who dont eat chicken feet, you guys are missing a lot here, trust me.

There are lots of varieties you can do with these feets - masak kari, lemak cili api (dgn rebung pun sodappp), sup to name a few. This time I'm gonna share a very special recipe which I've got from a very special person. The recipe doesnt have a name though....so I'm gonna named it as Chicken Feet In Soy Sauce or in my mother tounge - Kaki Ayam Masak Kicap.

Chicken Feet In Soy Sauce

1/2 kg kaki ayam

Kicap masin & manis

1 inci kulit kayu manis

2 kelopak bunga lawang

1 camb black pepper, crushed

1 inci halia, dihiris halus

1 biji bwg besar, dimayang

3-4 bwg putih, crushed

1 keping asam gelugor (btw, how do we say this in english??)

3-4 keping fucuk

6-8 keping shitake mushrooms, sliced

(akak guna button mushroom since me no like shitake)

1 camb sesame oil

How To

Gaul kaki ayam ngan kicap2 & deep fried them. Kalau ada deep fryer, memang senang banyak la...... cam akak...wakawaka. Goreng sampai masak & garing.

Then, fry all onions, pepper & ginger till fragrant. Pastu, masukkan kicap secukup rasa & tambah sedikit air. Then add in the chicken feet & mushrooms. Pour the whole thing into a pressure cooker & cook for 10 mins. Kalau takde pressure cooker, masalah la skit....kena masak lama2 la atas api.

While waiting for the chicken, fry the fucuk in hot oil. Fucuk tu dipotong2 dulu, baru digoreng. Make sure api betul2 kecik - otherwise hangus fucuk tu nanti. One more thing - dun soak or wash the fucuk before frying them. It has to be fried dry - got it?

By the time you finish frying the fucuk, your 10 mins should be over already. Rasakan masin & manis ayam tu. Sebelum angkat, percikkan sedikit minyak bijan for the aroma.... wallauweh. Kalau tak suka kering sangat, tambah la air skit & vice versa.

Just before serving, put in the fried fucuk.

For all chicken feet lovers out there, this recipe is worth trying for. You'll be amazed with the outcome - itu kalau jadi la....hehehehe.....

Mee Calong

It's been a while since the last time I've posted a recipe here, isnt it. It's not that my dapor tak berasap but then there are other more interesting stories to share rather than my boring recipes. Anyway, today I'm gonna share the recipe for one of the special dish which can only be found in the East Coast........Mee Calong.

Sedap weiii mee ni.....sebab byk ikan...akak kan kucing siam - love fish very, very much. That's how an east coasters are - we love fish so much.....semua menda kita org nak letak ikan. Karipap inti ikan.....pulut panggang inti ikan.....bubur lambok letak ikan.....pendek kata kalau kek tu boleh letak ikan pun, kita org buat jugak.....wakawaka.

Mee Calong

Bahan2 nya

4 ekor ikan kembung, diambil isinya saja & dikisar halus

1 camb tepung jagung

Garam & lada sulah sesedap rasa

- Bahan2 di atas dicampurkan together-gether

- Then di bulat2kan cam fishball ( memang fishball punnnnn )

Bahan2 Lain

Mihun - dicelur

1 camb lada hitam }

4 biji bawang merah } ditumbuk halus

1 biji bawang putih }

1 inci halia, dititik

3-4 pokok sawi minyak*

2 keping dada ayam

Cara2 Pembuatannya

- Dada ayam direbus dengan api kecil hingga masak - simpan rebusan ayam

- Carik2 isi ayam tu - cam nak buat soto tu la.

- Tumis lada hitam (yg telah ditumbuk dgn bwg merah & bwg putih) dgn halia smpai naik bau

- Masukkan air rebusan ayam tadi. Tambah air biasa kalau tak cukup.

- Setelah menggelegak, masukkan fishball tadi.

- Bila fishball tu dah timbul, kira dah masak la tu (cam buat buah melaka la pulak yer)

- Then masukkan sawi, masak hingga sawi layu.

- That's it ! Easy peasy.....

- Nak makan kalu.....letak mihun, letak isi ayam tadi & letak kuah.

- Kalau nak pedas, buat sambal kicap ( resepi carik sendiri arrrr....)

* Sawi ni ada 2 jenis (atau "2 bangsa" kalau ikut cakap org Pahang....hidup Pahanggggg). Jenis yg pertama tu daunnya lebar sikit & it's cheaper. The other type, their leaves are greener & smaller - a bit more expensive than the first one but it certainly tastes better - much better actually. Kedai2 makan selalunya guna yg murah tu la....ye lah, nak untung lebeyyy kan.

Ok, guys. Hope you'll like this recipe as much as I do. One thing about this noodle - never use the pre-prepared fishballs. It wont be the same & you cant call it Mee Calong anymore ! Jangan ngelat......nanti daulat !!!
