Nasi hujan panas yg Minimalis

 Nasi hujan panas yang baru dimasak. Hanya beras biasa digunakan (keluaran Faeza).

Saya bawa bekal ke pejabat (utk mkn tghari)

Saya tengok utk masak nasi hujan panas ni, biasanya tukang masak atau blogger akan gunakan beras basmathi. Memang hasilnya cantik tapi kalau semata-mata nak guna beras tu utk masak nasi utk saty pot beras jer, saya rasa memadai pakai beras yg biasa kita makan utk nasi putih. Lbh pun, tiada beras basmathi tidak perlu membantutkan hajat nak makan nasi hujan panas. Itu pendapat saya. Kebetulan memang saya ada pelbagai bancuhan warna kat rumah. Jadi, utk gabungkan hanya 2 warna bagi menghasilkan nasi ini tidak menjadi masalah. 

Dan lagi, saya tak ada bahan hiasan yg cukup utk menyerikan nasi ini. Takde gajus, kismis dan sebagainya. Tapi itu semua tak dapat menghalang saya untuk menyediakan nasi hujan panas yang serba kekurangan ni (hence, the name Nasi hujan panas yg Minimalis). Jom perhatikan bahan-bahannya. 

1. 1 1/2 pot beras Faeza 
2. 2 1/2 cawan air (guna cawan/pot yg sama yg digunakan utk menyukat beras utk elakkan nasi antah atau terlalu lembik) 
3. 1 helai daun pandan -siat dan simpul
4. 3 biji labu bawang putih  (mayang)
5. 1 labu bawang besar (mayang)
6. 1 btg kulit kayu manis
7. 2 kuntum bunga lawang 
8. pewarna merah dan hijau 
9. 2 sdb mentega (saya guna mentega keluaran FELDA) 

Sekarang jom tengok pula cara nak buat. 

1. Basuh beras. Tos dan ketepikan 
2. Dah tu ambil rice cooker, 'on', kemudian masukkan mentega
3. Bila dah panas sedikit, masukkan bahan tumisan iaitu bawang putih & bawang besar yg telah dimayang 
4. Biarkan sehingga naik bau
5. Kemudian masukkan beras 
6. Tambahkan air 
7. Masukkan pula daun pandan
8. Mungkin dalam 15 minit depending on the rice cooker you use, nasi akan masak.
9. Buat 2 lubang pada nasi yg telah masak tu. Satu utk letak pewarna hijau dan lagi satu pewarna merah
10. Ambil sudu atau gunakan tudung pewarna dan masukkan pewarna memenuhi tudung tersebut.
11. Letakkan exactly kat lubang yg telah dibuat pada nasi
12. Ambil 2 batang garfu dan kacau-kacau pewarna dan nasi. Lain perkataan gemburkan nasi bersama dengan warna tersebut gunakan garfu. Lebih elok kalau bila kita kacau, kita buat 2 part. Satu part utk kacau pewarna hijau, vise versa. Nanti pewarna akan lbh sekata tak de la tiba2 terlebih hijau atau merah
13. Demikianlah steps yg perlu diambil utk masak nasi ni. 

Note: Oh ya utk lihat bagaimana nak masak kari dan ayam masak merah (spt dalam Pic.2), browse kedua-dua resepi ni dalam kotak 'search' disebelah kanan atas blog ni. Atau tgk entry Chicken curry with vegetable. Utk ayam tu ada di entry bertajuk 'Lauk'. SELAMAT MENCUBA hidangan ringkas ini. 

Nasi Goreng Ikan Masin

 Nasi goreng Ikan Masin...baru jer masak

Ikan tenggiri ..mmg sesuai sgt untuk masak nasi goreng ni

Saya dah tukar template utk blog ni since nampak serabut sgt when I used the former template. Hari ni saya cuti memandangkan anak-anak cuti sekolah. Since hubby guru sekolah saya, dia pun cuti ler. Memandangkan diaorg ada dirumah, saya pun apply cuti. Hari ni elok jugak cuti sbb besok dah hari raya korban. Saya dah cadang nak masak simple2 jer... tak de org balik ke rumah arwah ayah mentua ni (Sy masih mendiami rumah arwah ayah mentua. Rumah kami inshaAllah boleh masuk tahun depan).  Okler berbalik kpd resepi nasi goreng ikan masin ni, saya suka guna ikan tenggiri yg boleh didapati dimana2 supermarket/ hypermarket. Resepinya sgt2 simple. 

Bahan-bahan: 

1. Sedikit ikan tenggiri (mungkin sepotong tapak tangan). Jgn terlalu byk nnt ter'over' masin. Ikan tenggiri ni perlu ditumbuk.
2. Sedikit sayur-sayuran (saya guna kacang panjang) 
3. 1 labu bawang besar (ditumbuk)
4. 3 biji bawang putih (ditumbuk)
5. Minyak untuk menggoreng
6. 1-2 senduk nasi 

Cara memasak: 

1. Didalam kuali, masukkan  bawang besar dan bawang putih yg telah ditumbuk
2. Bila dah naik bau, letakkan pula ikan tenggiri yg ditumbuk tadi
3. Kemudian masukkan nasi
4. Lepas tu terus masukkan sayur
5. Kacau rata-rata sebelum angkat 

Kalau prefer, kita boleh masukkan telur. Tapi yg pastinya jangan masuk dah garam. Kalau tak memang masin.. nnt takleh makan pulak. Lagi pun tak elok utk kesihatan. Nanti darah tinggi plak. Kepada kesemua pengunjung, selamat hari raya eidul adha. 

 

Nasi dagang 'Eid Adha-A reminiscence of my late mother; Hajah Semekkah Sulaiman

 My mother always put the nasi dagang in a basin. Its much easier to stir after you pour in the coconut milk

 The gravy... i use ikan tongkol. Just like my late mother use to make

A plate of nasi dagang 

My late mother (and father) were from Terengganu. In the state, nasi dagang is one of the main menus that many Malay house holds serve for their guess during eid adha or eid fitri. I always love to eat nasi dagang, partially because I like to eat fish (I use ikan tongkol or tuna fish for the gravy). I remembered that I used to help my mother stirring the nasi dagang after she poured-in the coconut milk. I could still remember the aroma. And it was only these special days that I could eat the nasi dagang prepared by mother. She never (as long as I could remember) missed to prepare it on these days.

When I was working (and still not married then), I used to accompany her to the market (Pasar Besar) in Kuantan. I would buy all the ingredients after I listed them on a paper. Since she was not able to walk fast (as she told me so), she often waited in the car. I would find the ingredients she requested in all the sections in the market. You can just imagine, I would be carrying more than 2 big plastic bags of the nasi dagang's ingredients (of course with some others as well) from the market to a few blocks of buildings where I parked my father's car. They were surely heavy, but I knew that was only tiny little sacrifice I did for her.

Back in the house, she would be busy washing the fish and doing other stuffs. I only helped her in the last stage of preparing the nasi dagang- only after she poured in the santan/ coconut milk. My task was only to mix the santan with the rice. Hence, I regret that I didn't ask her how she prepared the nasi dagang. Her care in preparing all good food, motivating my academic and career en devour, was a sacrifice of a true mother eventhough she was only a housewife (and never been to schools). Al fatihah to my late father and mother~ Hajah Semekkah Sulaiman & Haji Ali bin Jusuh.

In my entire life, this is the first time I cook nasi dagang- on eid adha 2011. So, for the recipe, I had it from Chef Hanieliza's blog. Thanks to her for sharing the recipe. By the way, I didn't prepare acar timun. It uses vinegar in which my husband is allergic to it. Anyway, below is the recipe.

nasi arab, kuah dal dan ayam tandoori

Dalam entry ni ada 3 masakan yg dibuat. Since amik gambar skaligus, makanyer kena tulis 3 resepi kat sini. Sebenarnyer teringin nak buat ayam tandoori je cerita asal. Lepas tu berkembang kepada nak buat kuah utk dimakan dgn ayam. Tapi bila ada kuah mesti kena cari nasi pulakkan? Sebab tu ler cari resepi masak nasi arab plak. Jom tgk pe yg kena ada utk buat ayam tandoori dl, ok?

Ayam tandoori

Bahan yg diperlukan utk bakar ayam tandoori:

1. rempah segera ayam tandoori (jenis magee atau sbgnya). I planned to make the ingredients on my own. Since there are too many things to buy, I resort to sth which is much easier i.e. prepackage tandoori paste). It's a bumiputera's product made from Kelantan.

Cara masak:

1. ada 2 plastik dlm pes segera yg dibeli ni. Ianya adalah campuran tumeric, bwg besar n bwg kecil and few other things (I tak buka pun dia punyer plastik. Cuma baca instruction kat luar. Instruction tu kata perapkan ayam, I thought biasa ler, I made my own bancuhan utk perapkan ayam tu) gunakan bancuhan dlm plastik ni. Perap selama 40 mins 
2. Masak sekejap dlm 20 mins utk 'mesrakan' bahan tadi dalam oven (suhu 170)
3. Keluarkan balik semula and lumurkan pula bancuhan dalam pek kedua. This is the actual tandoori paste (mixture of onions, lengkuas n some other things)
4. Roast for another 30 minutes before turning off the oven

Kuah Dal

Bhn2:

Bahan hiris:

1. 2 ulas bawang putih

13. sayur2an eg: ubi kentang, bendi, terung, tomato (these r my fav.You may substitue with other vege.)
14. santan
15. garam secukup rasa

Cara masak:

1. Hiris semua bahan hiris dan ketepikan. Sediakan rempah2 seperti di atas. Potong sayur
2. Gaulkan rempah kari daging, serbuk jintan manis dan serbuk jintan putih di dalam sebiji mangkuk dan tambah sedikit air (utk buat paste dia)
3. Panaskan minyak di dalam periuk.
4. Masukkan bahan hiris dan tumis.
5. Masukkan kulit kayu manis, buah pelaga dan bunga cengkih. Tumis hingga naik bau dan kekuningan.
6. Masukkan rempah kari daging kemudian santan n last air asam jawa
7. Setelah sedikit menggelegak (make sure santan jgn pecah minyak nnt tak menarik rupanyer) masukkan kesemua sayur2. Begin with delicate ones first (ubi kentang, terung, bendi n finally tomato)
8. Tutupkan api 

Nasi Arab  

Berkenaan dgn nasi ayam ni, tak ikut sgt resepi sebenarnya. Pakai main campak jer bhn2 yg ada. Basically you'll need:

1.  I cawan beras biasa. Toskan n put aside (actual recipe beras basmathi)
2. 2 sdb jintan manis
3. 3 sdb mentega/ marjerin utk menumis (original recipe uses minyak sapi)
4. rempah 3 beradik
5. 1/2 tin kecil kacang pes
6. 2-3 sdb kismis
7. 3 sudu serbuk ketumbar
8. minyak untuk menumis
9. 1 ulas bwg besar (ditumbuk)
10. 3 ulas bwg putih (ditumbuk)
11. 1 1/2 cawan air (gunakan cawan yg anda gunakan utk sukat beras). Precautios measure to ensure nasi tak antah 

Aturan memasak:

1. Dalam rice cooker, letakkan mentega
2. Masukkan rempah 3 beradik, bwg putih n bwg besar  
3. Masukkan beras
4. Gaulkan sedikit
5. Masukkan air
6. Tutup  rice cooker
7. Taburkan kacang peas dan kismis utk hiasan

There you have it. I am not a cook but I supposed the dishes I made that night was "eatable". The kids liked the nasi and my hubby preferred ayam tandoori. Since the kuah dalca contained vegetable- that would be my favourite. Dah nak masuk maghrib bila siapkan menulis entry ni. Td pg tulis sikit pastu sambung. Ada kenduri kawin ari ni. so, kerja berperingkat2. Anyway, enjoy trying n cooking the recipes.

Nasi lemak or Coconut Milk Steamed Rice

 

This is the nasi lemak I cooked this week. I cook nasi lemak because it is easy to prepare. If I have coconut milk in the fridge, nasi lemak will be the menu that I will be cooking. Here's the recipe to cook nasi lemak.

Ingredients to cook rice: 

1. 2 cups of rice
2. 3 screwpine leaves (tie them into a knot as shown above)
3. Salt to taste
4. 1 small can of coconut milk (5.6 oz size)
5. Some water

For Tamarind Juice

1. 1 cup of water
2. Tamarind pulp

Ingredients to cookd Sambal Ikan Bilis (Dried anchovies sambal)

1. 1/2 red onion
2. 1 cup ikan bilis (dried anchovies)
3. 1 clove garlic
4. 4 shallots
5. 10 dried chillies
6. 1 teaspoon of belacan (prawn paste)
7. 1/4 teaspoon of salt
8. 1 tablespoon of sugar

Other ingredients

1. 2 hard boiled eggs (cut into half)
2. 3 small fish (sardines or smelt fish)
3. 1 small cucumber (cut into slices)

Method:

1. Rinse your rice and drain. Add the coconut milk, a pinch of salt, and some water. Add the pandan leaves into the rice and cook your rice.
2. Rinse the dried anchovies and drain the water. Fry the anchovies until they turn light brown and put aside.
3. Pound the prawn paste together with shallots, garlic, and deseeded dried chilies with a mortar and pestle. You can also grind them with a food processor.
4. Slice the red onion into rings.
5. Soak the tamarind pulp in water for 15 minutes. Squeeze the tamarind constantly to extract the flavor into the water. Drain the pulp and save the tamarind juice.
6. Heat some oil in a pan and fry the spice paste until fragrant.
7. Add in the onion rings.
8. Add in the ikan bilis and stir well.
9. Add tamarind juice, salt, and sugar.
10. Simmer on low heat until the gravy thickens. Set aside.

Nasi ayam again...

 

Cooked just yesterday while hubby went for solat Jumaat. Upon eating it, my hubby teased me, "Dah amik gambar?" Takpe...

Abg Haziq's fried rice before going to KAFA

This is how I fry the eggs..mamak-style fried rice.After breaking 2 eggs

Eggs almost cooked..after this you just need to stir it..and it's ready

Although there is rice and some 'lauk' available, my eldest frequently requested for fried rice. The simplest fried rice cooked more or less for only seven minutes or so. Hidangkan bila panas! After eating this for lunch, off he went to school in the afternoon. 

Nasi ayam/ chicken rice

This was the chicken rice cooked for dinner last night. Yet the rice comes with soup, soy bean sauce, and chillie sauce. I didn't take photos of those side dishes. Cooking chicken rice is not that difficult. Moreover, you just prepare one dish but everything is in. What I mean, you have protein, zink and carbohydrate all at the same time. Do try the recipe down here.

Ingredients
1 cup of rice (ratio of rice and water 1: 1/2)
chicken cube to make soup
1/2 chicken depending on the size (it's better not to chop it)
oil for frying
onion and garlic (optional)
some spices (cloves, star anise,cinnamon and cardamon)
5-7 cups of water for soup

Preparation procedure for soup
1. Boil water in a pot
2. Add in chicken and chicken cube
3. Let it boil for 15 minutes (just right for the chicken to halfy cook)
4. Heat oil
6. Fried the chicken

Preparation procedure for rice
1. Wash rice thrice
2.  Add in rice and water
3. Cook for 7 minutes

For serving, pour the rice into a cup. Take a plate and pour the rice onto it. Then put slices of tomato and cucumber beside the rice. Only cut the chicken when you want to prepare it. Baru nampak cam kat kedai, he he!

Fried rice with taofu

Nasi beryani

I was tempted to make nasi beryani after I watched Best Wan in AFC Astro Channel 703. However, I modified some of the ingredients in that I substituted them with the ones that I had in the kitchen.  I guess  bachelors out there can also prepare it as it can be eaten on its own also (especially at the end of month when you're running out of money). In the recipe below, it could be better if you could use basmati rice. Yet, I cooked it after I performed Maghreb prayer. So you can expect that I needed to use whatever that I had  at hands because my husband and the kids would be dining after Isya'. Here are what you need to have to cook the rice

Ingredients 1 cups rice, washed and drained (use 1 3/4 water as the ratio to cook the rice = 1:1 3/4) 3-4 tbsp margarine (use to saute)  4 onions, peeled and sliced 2 garlic, peeled and sliced 1 lemongrass, bruised 1 bulb  ginger, finely sliced into small strips 1 screw pine leaf or daun pandan, shredded and knotted 2 of chicken stock (I used Knorr)  2 scoops of evaporated milk a hand-full of raisins a hand-full almond (supposedly cashew nuts are more appropriate) bawang goreng (crisped fried shallots) for garnish banana leaves (enough to cover pot) salt to taste 3 Cloves 3 Cardamom Pods 3 Star Anise 1 Cinnamon Stick
Procedures for cooking: In electric cooker, melt margerine and sauté the cloves, cardamom pods, star anise, cinnamon sticks. Add in onions, ginger, lemongrass and daun pandan and fry till golden .Add in raisins. Add in rice and stir gently. Then, add chicken stock, almond nuts/cashew nuts, salt, evaporated milk. Cover the rice with banana leaves, then cover the pot and cook till rice is tender. Serve it hot. For garnishing, spread raisins and almond nuts/ cheshew nuts. If you have green bean you may also spread some.
