Tau Yu Bak (Braised Belly with Dark Soy Sauce)

Friday, October 21st, 2011

When I am lost of what to cook, I’ll come up with something like this, simple and nice.

Although it looks awful and dark in picture and not a very healthy dish (especially with those fats that would melt in your mouth), all my kids love braised dishes like this! They can just finish their plate of rice with gravy and meat with the dish.

Ingredients

  • Belly Pork cubes, cleaned (I usually use one slice)
  • Dark Soy Sauce
  • ABC Sweet Soy Sauce
  • Light Soy Sauce
  • Garlic bulbs (you can also mince or grate of you like)
  • very little oil

Method

  1. Saute garlic bulb with very little oil till brown
  2. Put in belly pork cubes and saute for a while (you can also skip this step)
  3. Add in water and all the sauce above (my grandma prefers adding some dark soy sauce to saute the belly at Step 2)
  4. Braise meat till tender
  5. Serve with a hot plate of rice

Easy right?You can also add hard boiled egg to this with the leftover sauce. In fact, this taste even better when you leave if and reheat it days after days (but mine usually finish at the 2nd round!)

Well, don’t blame me if you have to visit to the sports nutritionist austin from eating too much of those fats, LOL!

Home Grilled Teriyaki Salmon

Friday, October 21st, 2011

I never thought it was so easy.

Since we all love Japanese food, especially grilled Salmon and Saba, now I learn to make this at home instead. Much cheaper this way.

A piece of salmon probably only cost me Rm15. How to do Teriyaki Salmon:

Ingredients

  • 1 slice salmon, pat dried and rubbed with some salt
  • Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce (I dilute it with some drinking water)

Method

  1. Pan fry salmon for about 1 minute on each side (or depends on the thickness of your fish)
  2. Pour Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce over the fish
  3. Turn the fish on both side so that its equally coated
  4. Remove fish quickly once the sauce reaches boiling point :)

*Tip: I used some Planta to oil my pan instead of oil. Reason is because with oil tends to burn the fish quicker.

Now you have a piece of nicely done fish to serve with a bowl of hot white rice. Want to know how I do this? You can even call me from any corner of the world by using the great rate with your prepaid cell phones.

Coming soon next will be the yummy Grilled Saba!

Instant Curry Chicken

Sunday, July 17th, 2011

Curry chicken is our all time favourite.

In the paste, I used the curry powder but now I prefer using the instant A1 curry paste. Just add a coconut milk and some potatoes, we will get one hot steaming pot of curry chicken.

Easy Curry Chicken

Curry not only goes well with a plate of steaming white rice or nasi lemak, it goes very well as a dip with Gardenia white bread too.

Crack an egg with the leftover curry sauce

When we have leftover on the curry sauce, I’ll surely crack an egg into the boiling sauce and I will get a nice yummy curry egg!

Marinated Slice Meat for steamboat

Sunday, March 6th, 2011

This taste really fantastic. I do not know how Aunty Ma (my next door neighbour) did it, but everything she marinates taste always so well. That goes the same for BBQ chicken she marinated sometime back.

I usually see people using plain chicken, fish for steamboat but during our steamboat session on Chap Goh Mei, Aunty Ma marinated them and they taste just so good. Ya, we decided to hold a small steamboat session, just for the four of us and it was fun. It was not very difficult although we have the boys around. Am looking forward to have another small session again, at home with hubby and the kids one day :)

Boys’ Playgroup Potluck Party 2010

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

Maid and I woke up early this morning, and this are what we prepared for our playgroup. Not compulsory to cook or bring many dishes, but I was just to excited that I brought more instead.

Steam Mee Sua. Recipe posted earlier here

Garnished and cut out Steam Mee Sua

Kakak’s signature fried mee hoon

My favourite Choux Puff with its cream. Recipe here

Irresistable with the food posted on top right? Will will be even spoiled for choice if you see what else was spread on our table today.But if you think you can eat a lot and then take diet pills, you better get good ones and check out what are the side effects of diet pills.

Read more on what we did during our playgroup there today :)

Sambal Sweet Potato Leaves

Friday, October 22nd, 2010

You know all those cubes are on top of the dish? Can you imagine those are super unhealthy and extremely fattening lards? I tell you, I have not tasted such a good Sambal Sweet Potato leaves before and this really taste sinfully fantastic. Probably it is because of the amount of the lard they used to fry the leaves. Furthermore, the leaves were extremely soft and tender on our first visit.

Wish to visit this restaurant (in my previous post) to try it out? Don’t forget to call me along once you have got your payday loans approved ok!

Crispy Fragrant Fried Meat

Friday, October 22nd, 2010

I found the best Crispy Fragrant Fried Meat. This is a signature dish in Restaurant Fu Gua Thong, Bandar Puteri Puchong. Marinated with five spice powder, not only the outer layer is very crispy, the belly pork is very soft and well cook too. We order a even larger serving on the second time we dined there. Don’t tell me I did not warn, you, as this dish is extremely fattening too. You better go get the best diet pills for women if you are want to try this out and yet continue losing weight.

Sambal Belacan

Monday, September 28th, 2009

I am so into food recently, especially the spicy food. While visiting Miche in Melaka, I asked her to help me get some nice homemade belacan and this is what we have for lunch today, *yummy*!

Ingredients needed:  2 shallots, 6 red chilli, belacan (1/2 thumb size) and 4 limau kasturi (limes), dash of salt

Method

  1. Grill belacan on charcoal / dry fry on hot pan over stove (without oil)
  2. Pound belacan with chilli, shallots
  3. Add a dash of salt
  4. Press lime juice over the sambal

Taste very good with just a hot plate of rice, even better with Ayam Pongteh (Miche is so right about this!)
