Bubur lambuk

 

I prepare this before going to Kak Chik's house in Chini, Pekan. Since the actual ingredients (eg. pucuk paku and other ulaman) are not available, I use what I buy in the market. This is how we cook bubur lambuk in Pahang. There are a lot of versions of preparing the bubur lambuk. If you were to eat this in Perak, I think they use prawn. But in this recipe, only fish are used. In ramadhan, this is always the menu that almost any muslim house will be preparing. Lets take a look at the ingredients and how to prepare one.

Ingredients

1. 1/2 cup of rice 
2. 3-5 cup of water
3. 2 cup of santan  (that you've already add with 1 cup of water).
4. 6 long beans (cut into small pieces)
5. 3 brinjal/ egg plant 
6. 20 water Spinach (also known as Water Morning Glory, Water Convolvulus, or by the more ambiguous names "Chinese spinach" and "swamp cabbage". Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipomoea_aquatica)
7. water to cook the porridge
8. 1/2 to 1 kg of fish (I use ikan pelaling) 

Preparation procedures:
 

1. Boil the fish for about 10 minutes. Toast the water and put it aside 
2. Debone the fish 
3. In a blender, put the fish. Blend it well.(Click here if you want to know to what extent you need to blend the fish)
4. Put the mixture in a bowl. Put it aside.
5. In a pot, put the rice (of course u need to wash it first)
6. Add in water 
7. When the rice is soft (or it has become porridge [I assume you know how to cook porridge ;-)], add santan
8.  Add the fish
9. Add the vege. (Use this procedure of adding them. First, add in egg plant. Then water spinach) 

There you have it... easy. Follow this procedure, insyaAllah I suppose you won't be disappointed)

Ketam masak lemak

 Ketam yg digunakan utk masak menu ni. Dah seminggu beli 

 Nenas manis yg digunakan. RM3.00 sebiji

 Masak lemak ketam utk hubby ngap...

Sy tak makan sgt seafood sejak dua menjak ni atas faktor kesihatan. Tapi disebabkan ada 2 ekor ketam ni kat rumah, I need to think of sth utk "habiskan" menda alah ni. So, fikir punyer fikir, takpe biar hubby makan. And paling best kalau ketam tu dimasak lemak. Dan sy suka letak nenas utk memaniskan menu ni. Jom siasat camner utk sediakannya.

Bahan2

1. 2 ekor ketam
2. 1 biji nenas (potong nipis cara memanjang)
3. 1 biji kelapa diambil santannya 
4. garam 
5. 2-3 inci kunyit hidup (kurang sedap jika guna kunyit serbuk). Dah rasa perbezaan kedua2nya dlm masakan. So, sy rekemen guna kunyit hidup utk masak lemak
6. 5 biji cili kecil (kalau nak pedas lagi tambahkan jer)
7. 3 btg serai (lbh banyak pun bagus...aromanyer lbh memikat

Cara penyediaan 

1. Dalam kuali, masukkan ketam. Biarkan air ketam tu kering (jgn biar sampai hangit ketam tu)
2. Masukkan santan, cili, kunyit dan serai
3. Masukkan ketam 
4. Masukkan garam 
5. Agak2 ketam dah hampir masak, masukkan nenas. Dah siap

Utk masak ketam ni, jgn dibiarkan ianya dimasak terlalu lama..seafood kurang enak kalau masak lama sgt. Hilang manisnyer. And satu lg TAK PERLU MASUKKAN ASAM GELUGOR. Nanti hilang kemanisan nenas tu pula.

roasted chicken with tumeric and lemon grass

 

I cooked roasted chicken while my husband went for Solat Jumaat. He was back from school at 12 sth. I didn't plan to cook the roasted chicken and therefore I didn't marinate it. My husband complain for the delay in preparing lunch for him. Hence, he only requested to eat egg sausage roll. After 10 mins or so the chicken was ready to be eaten.  Anyway, here's the ingredients and cooking procedures.

Ingredients:

1. 1/2 chiken 
2. 2 lemon grass
3. 2 tumeric (big ones) 
4. 5 small onions 
5. 2 garlic
6. salt and sugar 

Cooking Procedures:

1. Blend lemon grass and garlic 
2. Also add sugar and salt in the blender 
3. Apply the mixture to the chicken
4. I use tupperchef (from Tupperware) to roast the chicken. But i assume if you were to roast the chicken in a microwave, the temperature is already set for you. Using tupperchef, I took 30 mins. (small heat) to roast the chicken.
