Mee Goreng Basah Penuh Kick aka Fried Wet Mee with a kick!

Adik-adik kakak-kakak , you alls I have a great news! If it happens that you're a spicy food lover then this is a must try recipe!

How did I came up with this recipe? Well mom made tom yam a few days ago and there's like a plenty amount of mee and kuey teow left haha. Then I felt like eating mee basah for break fast so I Youtubed it on Try Masak's channel.

Then when I looked into my fridge there's a lot of sambal belacan left because dad recently went back to Kota Bharu and bought Kelantanese sambal belacan that is normally served with Kelantanese Nasi Berlauk. If you're Kelantanese living in Kota Bharu then you can get this sambal belacan at Sweet Q Restaurant around Jalan Bayam. :)

Okay so let's get started with the recipe :)


What you need:

Chopped ingredients:

half of a big red onion
1 bird's eye green chilli
1 bird's eye red chilli
1 cup cabbage
1 red chilli
half of tomato
1 and half cup of chicken breast
salad (baby romaine)
2 cloves of garlic
1 large onion (green onion)

Other ingredients:
4 tablespoon of sambal belacan
a teaspoon of sugar
a teaspoon of salt
Sweet Soy Sauce Cap Kipas Udang
ABC Soy Sauce
2-3 cups of water
a packet of mee


Methods:
1- set aside the bird's eye chillies, garlic, onions in one bowl. The chicken and cabbage in one bowl. Tomato and salad in one bowl.

2- In a wok, heat up a tablespoon of oil. Saute the chillies, garlic and onion. Add in the sambal belacan. Stir. Then add in the chicken and a cup of water. Stir.

3- When its bubbling up, add in the sweet soy sauce and the ABC sauce. Stir. Then add in the mee. Mix it until its well combined.

4- Add in the cabbage. Stir. Then add in half cup of water. Stir it and add it tomato and the salad.

5- Lastly add in sugar and salt. You can add a little bit of pepper but that will ruin the taste of the sambal.

Note: Don't cut the chicken too big. Its okay to be too small but you won't taste the chicken afterwards. Cut it as big as your thumb. Diced it. Remember that you want to make it wet not dry mee. So can add as much as water as possible but not to ruin the taste of the mee. Just nice or until it thickens. As long as there's a bit of gravy. Adding squid will be scrumptious to this meal! Marvelous!

Taadaaa! Here's the result :) Amacam ? ;) winks*

Fruit Salad Popsicles :)

I feel kinda cheeky today and a tiny bit of a feeling that I just can't sit down and I wanna be in the kitchen. Chopping food and cooking something on the stove and whatsoever. I mean the list goes on. Well actually its been a while since I watched this video and I really do want to make on of it but then I'm too lazy to search for grape water and I don't even know what that is. Pardon me for being super unproductive. I have a lot of unproductive days you know. Well here's the video. Make sure to watch the video before you continue to the recipe if you're that nerdy kinda person who'd person to go one by one or step by step process. Nahh I'm just kidding. I just said the video inspired my recipe I didn't mention it would be the same did I? HAHA

Okay so let's get started . I won't list down the ingredients nor write the recipe why? Because we are going to do in picture. Oh yeah! :)

What you need is chopped watermelons, kiwi, sweet plum and lychee. Then you need lemon juice. Here's the trick, just grab any lemon and squeeze it. Remember to de-seed it. Then add sugar and hot water. Walla! You got yourself a lemon juice or lemonade whatever it is its lemon and water. By the way, you can use any fruit you can. I like sour so I mostly used sour ingredients :D

Pick the watermelon

insert in the popsicle mould

then the lychee

put it inside the popsicle mould

pick the plum 

put it in the popsicle mould

then lastly pour in the lemon juice
(Gosh my mouth just waters looking at these pictures!)

You wanna repeat these steps until you get to the last pocket. The last mould I mean. When your fruits are lessen you'll notice that there are water in the bowl. That is from those fruits that you chopped. Natural juice. So what you want to do is insert those fruits in the mould just like you did before.

then you wanna pour the excess fruit juice into the last mould.

Everything will look like these. The blue one is the one with the fruit juice. 

The rest is lemon juice. 

This is the lemon juice side. Isn't it mouth watering? OMG!

Then pop it in the freezer for at least two hours or until it rock solid. :)

Enjoy!

Cheese Baked Rice

Kalau time Ramadhan macam ni mesti havoc gila kan? Mesti banyak benda yang tak sempat nak buat. Betul tak? So kadang-kadang kalau duk sorang tu bab nak masak ada dua pilihan je, beli kat luar or masak maggie. Paling-paling pun makanan frozen yang mak kasi dua minggu lepas and panaskan dalam microwave. Betul tak? Hehe kalau betul meh sini meh saya nak ajar korang cara masak benda yang paling simple yet amazing :)

Today's Ramadhan Recipe is Cheese Baked Rice!

What you need is:
Cooked rice
A teaspoon of butter
Flour
Milk
Rosemary (not necessary)
Salt
Black pepper & white pepper
red onion
kraft singles cheese
(you can add chicken if you want but because I want to make this quick and easy I didn't put chicken)


Steps:

1- Melt the butter in a sauce pan.

2- Add in the flour and mix until its crumbly.

3- When the butter is all crumbled up with the flour, add in milk. Mix it slowly on low heat. Mix it until it turn into a thick sauce.

4- Add in the rice. Stir it gently. You don't want the rice to turn into porridge. No.

5- Add in black pepper, white pepper, salt and rosemary until it suits your taste buds. Don't make it too salty.

6- Lastly add in the diced onion. Remember, you want to diced them as small as you can.

7- Stir it a few times and turn off the heat.

8- Take a cupcake cup or you can use a casserole bowl its up to you as long as it can withstand the heat. I used hokkaido cakes cups because its square :) .

9- Put in the rice mixture in those cups then line it with cheese. Repeat the steps until all the rice is finish. For example, I put the rice then the cheese then the rice again and lastly the cheese. You want the rice to be cheesy so do not put too much rice in between the cheese.

10- Bake it for 10-15 minutes in an oven over 180 degrees celsius. I used those small oven that normally people use to toast a bread.

Have fun and enjoy! :D

Toodles!

Caramel Banana Cupcake

I don't what happened to me today that I feel that I really deeply madly wanted to eat Banana and Caramel cupcake. I can't say its muffin because it doesn't rise as high as a muffin does and its not as big as a muffin. How sad it that? But it doesn't matter as long as the recipe is good. Sadly you can't simply grab any weird creations of yours at any local stores. You gotta bake it. So with all of my efforts today ( I don't care even if I sweat a lot, hello its freaking hot here in Malaysia) I baked a Caramel Banana Cupcake.

Let's get started :D

What you need is :
250g of butter (I recommend using buttercup if you're Malaysian, why because its freakin' fluffy that's why!)
5 eggs
200g of sugar (not confectioners sugar or any dumb sugar just sugar-p/s its castor sugar btw)
210g self raising flour
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
a drop of yellow colouring (well I used around a teaspoon that's about 5 drops. HAHA)

1- First things first you must beat the sugar and the butter until its very light and fluffy. Don't tell me you don't have a mixer because I used a freakin' whisk I tell you. HAHA Seriously all you need is love in cooking it. :)

2- Then beat in the eggs one by one. Mix it until well combined.

3- Sieve the flour if you're that hardworking kinda person but I just don't care. Put in the flour slowly while mixing it through. Add in the yellow colouring and vanilla extract. When its well combined, set it aside.

4- Preheat the oven at the maximum temperature for 10 minutes.

5- Now melt a teaspoon of butter in a pan. Add in the half cup of condensed milk (susu pekat) . Mix it well. Then add in half cup of  brown sugar. Stir it until well combined and pour it into the cupcake batter.

6- Sliced the banana and line it in the cupcake sheets. Pour in the batter using an ice cream scoop. Then place another layer of sliced banana.

7- Bake it for 15-20 minutes under 180 degrees celsius.

8- You're done :D

Line those bananas like these

Yorkshire Pudding

So recently I watched Jamie Oliver's Yorkshire Pudding recipe video on his FoodTube at Youtube. That doesn't sound right does it? Obviously I didn't go to Youtube headquarter just to watch the video. Nahh I just watch it on the website :) Just the good old www.youtube.com

Okay to start it of with the recipe you will need :
2 eggs
half cup of milk
half cup of flour

Well in his video he uses much more amount of eggs,milk and flour but because I know that I'm going to eat this on my own because not everyone likes to eat it and only I love to try and cook new recipes so yeah I gotta learn to lessen the amount of raw ingredients I will use.

So first things first,

                    whisk the eggs. Beat it until light and fluffy.

Then,

                  add in the milk and beat again.

Lastly,

                  Add in the flour.


Preheat the oven at 250 degree celsius for about 10 minutes. Fill the cupcake tin with sunflower oil (any oil can do). Insert the cupcake tin with the oil and heat it for 10 minutes at 250 degrees celsius.

Once you've heated the oil, fill in the batter. Be careful. The cupcake tin is hot and the oil is hot too. The oil will splatter as you pour the batter. So be careful.

Once you filled the batter in all of the tins, bake it for 25 minutes :) I ate it with raspberry jam. Yum! Tasted just like akok. :)

BTW, remember to place the batter in a jug before you fill it in your tins. This recipe yield 6 yorkshire puddings. :)

Fried Popiah

Salam Ramadhan Mubarak everyone! I am so happy to share with all of you this recipe :D Well the reason why I came up with this recipe is because my mother told me that she's sending me to my grandmother's house for a day. What I love to do at her house is cooking! Obviously. HAHA.

Then I remembered back then when we were young (my sisters and I) my mother used to fry those scrumptious popiah that she bought from my grandmother's friend. My grandmother's friend made the best popiah ever. Until now I couldn't beat that. Plus, I remembered how my grandmother loved to eat popiah so I decided to make them instead.

Actually I wanted to learn how to make popiah skin using scratch but I'm afraid that I might failed just like the one I did when I tried to make murtabak skins. So I used instant ones instead.

So what you need is:
tofu
carrots (Sliced thinly)
celery (sliced thinly)
cabbage (chopped finely)
Red onion
prawn's flesh
white pepper
salt
instant popiah skin

1) Saute the red onion and prawns until well cooked. Add in salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

2) Boiled the sliced carrots, cabbage and celery separately with a pinch of salt. When its cook/soft set it aside.

3) Deep fried the tofu until its golden brown and sliced it thinly.

4) Now assemble all the ingredients in one plate or different bowls in order so you could easily place all the ingredients on the popiah skin.

5) Place the popiah skin on a wet surface so it will stick on the board/plate and it will be very convenient for you to place all the ingredients starting from the tofu, carrots, cabbage, celery and lastly the prawn mix. Then wrap the popiah nicely and secure it using a beaten egg.

6) Heat the oil for 10-15 minutes and fry the popiah until golden brown.

7) Serve it with chilli sauce.

Mine is a bit soggy I'm sorry for that. 

 I'm sorry for delaying this post. I was supposed to update this post a few days ago but my friend was texting me and sooner after that I totally forgot to update because I was updating Diary Qina on Wattpad. I'm sorry. Bianhe.

BTW don't forget to put the popiah skin out of the freezer a few hours before using it because when its frozen, it's very fragile. Unless if you didn't put it in the freezer and put in the fridge instead then it will be okay. Just to make sure its at room temperature. :)

Have fun! Toodles!
