CapCay Kuah

Capcay ada lah masakan populer di Indonesia, fusion food antara Chinese berbaur dengan budaya Indonesia membuat masakan ini sangat mudah, enak dan disukai oleh segala golongan umur. 

Anak saya sangat menyukai capcay, sehingga kami tidak menambahkan merica/lada dalam masakan. 

Kalau di Western Country orang lebih menyebutnya sebagai Chop Suey.

Bahan yang diperlukan tidak harus sama persis, tetapi menyesuaikan dengan isi kulkas ya. 

Capcay yang enak terletak pada bumbu inti, gula, garam dan sedikit saos tiram. Dan beberapa ekor udang segar akan menambah rasa gurih pada kuah.

Nasehat saya untuk tidak menambahkan MSG pada Capcay, karena kombinasi gula-garam-saos tiram-kaldu bubuk sudah cukup membuat masakan sangat gurih. 

Bahan:

10 butir bakso sapi, iris dua.

2 batang sosis, iris tipis.

1 genggam udang, buang kepala. 

Sayur-sayuran 

Brokoli 1 cup

3 batang Sawi Hijau 

1 batang wortel ukuran sedang, kupas dan iris.

1/4 kubis, potong-potong. 

Bumbu:

5 siung bawang putih

1/4 sdt merica bubuk (kurangkan jika terlalu )

1/2 sdt kaldu bubuk sapi

1/2 sdt garam

1 sdm saos tiram

1 gelas air

1 sdm minyak goreng. 

Haluskan bawang putih, kemudian tumis hingga harum, masukkan wortel dan bakso. Masak sebentar kemudian masukkan air, dan tutup wajan.

Biarkan sehingga mendidih.

Masukkan brokoli dan kubis, aduk sebentar dan masukkan bumbu.

Masak hingga brokoli setengah matang (Kira-kira dua menit) kemudian rasakan. Tambahkan gula, garam dan lada sesuai dengan selera.

Terakhir masukkan sawi, sosis dan udang. 

Aduk kembali sampai sawi layu, hidangkan dengan nasi panas dan taburan bawang goreng.

Something to satisfy my craving

I can't deny I missed Malaysia badly. Being stuck in Indonesia for almost 13 months right now at my parent's house, I miss "Rasa Malaysia" on my palate...

Oooh the heartwarming teh tarik, ooooh.. the soul awakening Ipoh roasted white coffee, oooh.. The comforting rice spread over banana leaf.. 

Until yesterday we went to convention store for ice cream and I'm so curious about this noodle. Mie SEDAAP white curry

Mie Sedaap White Curry

I was laugh at myself, what can instant noodle do? Doesn't matter how much you tried to copy some food, you will still tatse like instant noodle. Especially Indonesian where they are already very rich in flavours, I doubt they could imitate foreign flavor.

I guess I'm wrong.. 

This humble noodle just had three sachet. Seasoning, creamer, and chili oil.

I cooked the seasoning together with the noodle so all the flavor soaked. Then mix bit of the gravy with creamer until all lumps dissolved before pour the rest.

I served with bits of chicken, steamed vegetables and fried onion.

Taste: 9/10 very similar, but the gravy was lighter.

Noodle bit too chewy according to me.

The chil oil need bit of "kick" to make it spicier :-p

If you asking me, was it satisfy my Malaysian craving? The answer is YES

Will I buy again? YES

Am I in love with this noodle? YESSSSSSSSS

Mee Goreng Mamak Simple

One of my favorite meal in Malaysia. It so cheap, simple yet delicious.
Stir fried yellow egg noodle with plenty filling and condiments are common ordered in "Mamak Restaurant" (Indian Muslim living in Malaysia), or Nasi Kandar Restaurant.

However since I tried to reduce weight, I couldn't dare myself to order it again cos I'm scared with the amount of cooking oil used to make the dish. And for sure I can't share the meal with my toddler.

Lucky enough the internet shares us plenty recipe, but I am comfortable most with recipe from this pispterian blog the ingredients and seasoning written complete just like the original recipe in Kedai Mamak.

However I will share my version which less filling (fridge aku tak selalu ada benda semua tu, ha ha) and tiada cili so its friendly enough for 19 Months old baby.

Key Ingredients:
1/2 pack yellow noodle (saya pakai mee kuning cap wau)
1 yellow onion
3 cloves garlic
1 tomato, cut into 4
2 tbs sweet soy sauce
1 tbs oyster sauce
1 tsp light soy sauce

bit of sugar, white pepper.
1 tbs cooking oil
50 ml water
1 egg

White tofu, cut into cubes
1/2 cup cabbage, shredded
boiled potato, prawn, squid, fish cake, sausages as per 'fridge stock'

*potato, sausages, fish cake need to add after sauteed the onion. To make it bit charred and crispy. While prawn and squid only add at the last part before adding water and egg to avoid overcook.

1. Heat up half of cooking oil, put in tofu. lightly fried until bit yellow. Add rest of oil, sliced onion and minced garlic.
2. Add in tomato and cabbage. stir fast. Then add in noodle.
3. Keep stiring fast, add in all the sauce, sugar and pepper.
4. Keep stir the noodle until fully covered with the sauce.
5. Add in other ingredients you might want to put, stir for another 30 second.

6. Add in water, stir very quick. Push the noodle at the side, and crack an egg in other side. Scramble it fast, then mix with the noodle.
7. Serve immediately.

I even have the noodle for Marcella's lunchbox for her to bring to day care :)

The key of good Mee Mamak depend on the size of the wok.
I think the bigger the wok is, make it easier to stir and mix and we don't have to scared if the noodle will splash over the floor (well, it will splash anyway).

Use big fire and stir them fast.
The cooking time shall less than 10 minutes.

Kuey Teow Seafood Soup

Menu yang menurut saya termasuk menu MEWAH

Kenapa Mewah..?

Udang bukan mahal sangat pun di Malaysia, unless kau nak pakai Tiger Prawn ke Lobster hik hik..

Mewah karena diperlukan masa yang spesial untuk basuh udang dan sotong,

belum lagi bersihkan kitchen dari segala bau seafood...

Hmmm.... 

**kita beli udang dan sotong yang siap kemas boleh??

BOLEH AJA.... 

Kuey Teow Soup

2-3 porsi

Bahan:

6 pcs udang segar, kupas kulit.

1 Sotong, bersihkan kulit, potong2

6 fish ball

2 fried fish cake, iris tipis

2 cekak kuey teow segar. Siram air mendidih, tiriskan

2 batang Sawi Hijau 

Kuah:

2 liter air

kulit udang

2 butir bawang putih

merica

garam

sedikit halia/jahe iris tipis

1 batang daun bawang, iris halus

1 sdt minyak goreng

Cara:

Rebus kulit udang dengan 2 liter air, saring dan buang kulit udang.

Tumis bawang putih, halia/jahe hingga harum.

Masukkan tumisan bawang putih ke dalam rebusan kaldu.

Bumbui kaldu dengan merica, garam dan taburan daun bawang.

Masukkan sawi, udang, fish ball dan sotong ke dalam kaldu.

Masak selama 30 detik saja (jangan lama-lama, nanti alot/bergetah)

Makanan ini tidak menggemukkan karena kuey teow di buat dari beras, bukan terigu seperti mee lain.

Senang nak hadam (senang di cerna)

tiada lemak apa kecuali 1 sudu minyak goreng.

Sayur sop is the simplest dish I've ever learn in my childhood and always become one of my fave.

2 beef/chicken bone

1 garlic

bit  of salt, pepper

1 spring onion

1 batang daun sup / seledri / chinese parsley

Rebus tulang sapi/ayam dengan air hingga mendidih. Buang buih yang timbul.

Masukkan sayuran yang telah di cuci dan di potong, masak hingga setengah matang.

Masukkan bawang, garam dan merica, kemudian rasakan.

Jika sayuran sudah lunak dan matang, masukkan daun seledri dan daun bawang.

Matikan api.

Sajikan sup dengan nasi panas atau bihun yang telah di seduh.

Nasi Dagang Terengganu

When the first time I came to Malaysia, my housemate introduce me to Nasi dagang for breakfast. I found it weird food almost cant eat it. It was feel like eating confused rice. The mix of three different kind of rice give me sensation like I ate half uncooked rice mixed with cooked rice.

However after one week having unpleasant experience in nasi dagang, I start missed it. Somehow the confused mixed-up feeling in eating the rice quite enjoyable.

Later I understand why nasi dagang giving those kind of sensation because it made from three different kind of rice: normal jasmine rice, red rice and glutinous rice which having different cooking time and end result.

In Terengganu or Kelantan, we can found Nasi Dagang everywhere from roadstall to expensive restaurant. But in Kuala Lumpur, we have to go to restaurant which served "Hidangan Pantai Timur" or East Coast Meal.

Pain in the butt and expensive :(

Here is the copycat of Nasi Dagang which far away from the original haha... 

Nasi Dagang:

1/2 cup Jasmine Rice

1/4 cup Red Rice

1/4 cup glutinous Rice

wash, rinse and soak the rice mixture for about 20 min

2 cup water

2 shallot + bit of ginger, finely sliced

1/2 tsp fenugreek seed

1/4 cup light coconut milk

pinch of salt

Put all the ingredients in the rice cooker, and cook till done.

Fluff the rice a bit with fork/spoon, and leave them in "warm" mode for at least 10 min

Normally nasi dagang would served with gulai ikan (malay style fish curry), acar (cucumber-carrot-pineapple pickle) papadum/kerupuk ikan, boiled egg and other side dish.

I don't know how was too lazy to make gulai ikan

end up with defrost some of beef curry, made minutes pickled cucumber and microwaved papadum.

It is not authentic at all,

but fulfill my crave without leaving the house.

Nasi Liwet Ala Sunda

Karena rindu dengan masakan kampung dan nostalgia bersamanya..
