So as you all know I am the type who loves to experiment with food. I don't like to follow the recipe given unless it is very complicated for me to understand then it might takes a little bit of time from me in the kitchen. Hehe.
So here it is finally, I discovered a way of cooking Ayam Masak Kicap the way I like it :) It is very sticky like those sticky air fried chicken I used to made. Hehe will upload the recipe soon, InshaAllah :)
Some people would boil the chicken or deep fried it but I used the same technique as making gulai darat, which you tumis darat the chicken. You'll understand later on as you read on the recipe.
So here's the ingredients:
2 thighs and drummet (cut into 8 each)
a pumpkin of garlic
5cm ginger
1cm galangal
1 large red onion
2 tablespoon ABC sauce
1 tablespoon cooking caramel
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 pieces of dried pepper
2 pieces of red bird's eye chili.
1 tablespoon corn starch + 1 cup of water
1 tablespoon of margerin
Step 1:
Clean the chicken throughly and add in into the wok. Stir occasionally.
Step 2:
While waiting for the water from the chicken to dry slice the garlic, ginger, galangal, onion, dried peppers and red chili.
Step 3:
Once all the water in the wok is dried, push the chicken aside and add in the margerin. Saute all the sliced ingredients except for dried peppers and red chili. Mix well.
Step 4:
Add in the ABC sauce, cooking caramel and oyster sauce. Stir. Then, add in the dried peppers and red chili. Stir again and add a little bit of water around 5 tablespoon. Then stir.
Step 5:
Add in the cornstarch mixture and then stir. Then add in the salt and brown sugar. Stir well and serve.
This is the final result! Seriously you will love it!
I am very happy lately because my grandmother is here staying with me for Syawal. Its been a while. Normally my mother and kakak would prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner but today my mother went out with my sisters and my aunt.So at-last I am in charge of the kitchen and I can cook hehe :D Last night, I read a magazine that inspires me to cook this dish :) I did not follow the recipe exactly because I think the recipe given uses too much santan(coconut milk) and it will make the gravy really thick. So I just use the equation of 1/2 cup of santan with 1/2 cup of water :)
Okay so let's get started with the recipe shall we ? :)
Blended ingredients:/bahan untuk dikisar:
3 shallots of red onion (medium size) / 3 ulas bawang merah (size sederhana)
5 garlic / 5 ulas bawang putih
1 stalk of lemon-grass / 1 batang serai
1 inch turmeric / 1 inci kunyit hidup
1 inch ginger / 1 inchi halia muda
1 inch galangal / 1 inchi lengkuas
1 red bird's eye chilli / 1 batang cili padi merah
Other ingredients/bahan-bahan lain:
5-10 prawns (medium size) / 5-10 ekor udang (size sederhana)
1 cup of sliced pineapple / 1 cawan nenas (kalau masam lagi bagus atleast tak perlu tambah asam gelugor)
1 jalapeño pepper / 1 batang cili hijau
1-2 teaspoon of turmeric powder / 1-2 sudu teh serbuk kunyit
1/2 cup coconut milk / 1/2 cawan santan
1/2 cup water / 1/2 cawan air
Salt, sugar (I used brown sugar) and white pepper to taste / garam, gula dan serbuk lada putih
Directions:
1. In a pot, pour the coconut milk and all the blended ingredients. Stir and leave it to boil. 1. Masukkan santan dan bahan kisar dalam periuk dan gaul sehingga mendidih.
2. Once it boils add in the prawns, water and turmeric powder.
2. Setelah mendidih masukkan udang, air dan serbuk kunyit.
3. Stir well then add in the pineapple and jalapeño pepper. 3. Kacau lagi dan masukkan nenas dan cili hijau.
4. Add salt, pepper and sugar to taste. Stir well and it is ready to serve once the pineapple and prawns are cooked. 4. Masukkan serbuk perasa dan gaul sebati. Gulai udang sedia untuk dihidang setelah udang dan nenas masak :)
Okay so now I will show you how to clean the prawns for this recipe :) You do not need to deshell it because all of the juicy flavour and vitamins are in the shell of the prawns :)
Observe this picture above. The only parts that you need to remove using a kitchen scissors is the telson, antennae, rostrum and eyes. That's it :) Trust me the prawn will be very juicy you even want to eat the shells. hehe
omg! I am so excited to post this article. There are two reasons. The first one become my mom said it was delicious and it is not easy for her to please my cooking and the second one is yes I finally found the one. The green curry that is not too sweet nor spicy but just nice. Totes love it!
This recipe was from RinsCookBook on Youtube. I could share the link of the video but I couldn't find the written recipe. So I decide to help you guys and write it down so it would be easier for you guys to refer while cooking :) Above is the green currypaste recipe video from RinsCookBook channel and the Green Curry Chicken recipe from Pailin's Hot Thai Kitchen :)
Noted that I adjusted her recipe according to the amount I needed and I opted out from using shrimp paste aka belacan because I am allergic to prawns.
Okay so first we start off with the ingredients. I'm gonna write it in English and Malay :)
The green curry paste I made :)
So for the paste you will need // untuk bahan asas (bahan tumisan):
4 serrano peppers // 4 cili hijau besar
10 bird's eye green chilli // 10 batang cili padi hijau
3 stalks of lemongrass // 3 batang serai
1 inch galangal // 1 inci lengkuas (kalau nak lebih tambah stengah inci je jangan lebih nanti tak sedap)
1 whole zest of kaffir lime // kulit limau purut 1 biji *
4 kaffir lime leaves removing the stems // 4 helai daun limau purut dibuang tangkainya
6 cloves of garlic // 6 ulas bawang putih.
1 whole cilantro including the stems excluding the roots// daun ketumbar termasuk batangnya kecuali akar
4 shallots // 4 ulas bawang merah halus (kalau guna yang besar manisnya hilang)
3-4 stalks of thai basil including the stem // 3-4 batang thai basil termasuk batang
- chopped the ingredients finely // potong kesemua bahan halus-halus supaya mudah dikisar
spices // rempah ratus:
1 tablespoon white peppercorn // 1 sudu besar biji lada putih
1 1/2 teaspoon cumin // 1 1/2 sudu teh jintan putih
2 cardamom // buah pelaga
Steps // langkah-langkah :
1. Grind all the spices in a spice mixer or using pestle and mortar until all the spices turns powdered. 1. Hancurkan kesemua rempah ratus mengunnakan lesung batu sehingga rempah menjadi halus.
2. In a food processor, blend the lime zest/peel, lime leaves, lemongrass and galangal. You want it to be fine cut. You can refer to the video for details. 2. Menggunakan food processor, kisar kulit limau, daun limau ,serai dan lengkuas sehingga lumat. Kemudian masukkan rempah ratus.
3. Add in the spices and blend it well until it is finely corporated. Then add in garlic, shallots, together with bird's eye chilli. Blend it well. 3. Kemudian kisar bawang putih, bawang merah dan cili padi hijau. Kisar sehingga lumat.
4. Add in the cilantro stalk opted out the leaves. Together adding the thai basil stalks. Blend. Masukkan pula batang ketumbar dan batang thai basil. Kisar.
5. Add in the serrano pepper, thai basil leaves and cilantro leaves. Blend it well. If the paste is coarse, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil. 5. Masukkan daun ketumbar, daun thai basil dan lada hijau besar. Kisar sebati. Jika acuan masih kasar tambah 1 sudu teh minyak sayuran. *If you don't have kaffir lime you can use lime // kalau xde limau purut boleh guna limau nipis
The green curry chicken I made :)
Now for the chicken curry. // Untuk kari ayamnya pula :
ingredients // bahan-bahan :
6 pieces of chicken wings (cut in 24 pieces) // 6 keping kepak ayam (dibelah 24)*
2 kaffir lime leaves removing the stems // 2 helai daun limau purut (disiat atau dikoyak)
1 box of coconut milk // 1 kotak santan = 1 cup // 1 cawan
2 tablespoon of vegetable oil // 2 sudu besar minyak menumis
half of chicken stock cube // separuh kiub ayam
1 cup of water // 1 cawan air
1 thai brinjals cut into wedges // 1 biji terung bulat dibelah 6
1 inch palm sugar // 1 inci gula melaka
1 tablespoon namplar aka fish sauce // 1 sudu besar sos ikan
1 red chilli (julien) // 1 batang lada merah besar (dihiris nipis)
2 stalks of thai basil // 2 batang thai basil
Steps // langkah-langkah :
1. If you are using canned or boxed coconut milk then you shall never use the step Pailin used that is reduced the coconut etc. You can skip the step and start off with a normal curry cooking step that is by preheating your oil. So just add on that two tablespoons of vegetable oil. Once it is preheated you may add your curry paste. Saute the paste until you can see the bubbling oil coming out of those paste. 1. Kalau anda menggunakan santan kotak, anda boleh terus menumis bahan kisar tadi seperti memasak kari biasa. Dalam periuk, panaskan dua sudu besar minyak menumis. Kemudian masukkan bahan kisar tadi. Tumis sehingga pecah minyak.
2. Add in the chicken stir then add in the chicken stock cube. Stir well. Then add in the coconut milk and water. Stir again. Next, add the palm sugar and the fish sauce. Stir. 2. Setelah pecah minyak, masukkan ayam. Gaul rata. Masukkan kiub ayam. Kemudian masukkan air dan santan. Kacau.
3. Bring it to a simmer about 10-15 minutes until the chicken is fork tender then add in thai brinjals. 3. Biarkan ia merenek sehingga 10-15 minit sehingga ayam menjadi empuk. Apabila ayam telah empuk masukkan terung.
4. When the brinjals are soft and tender, add in the julien red chilli and thai basil leaves. Also, add salt according to your taste. Turn off the heat and serve. 4. Apabila ayam dan terung sudah masak, masukkan lada merah dan thai basil. Tambah garam secukup rasa. Kacau dan tutup api.
