I'm Awake: Let's Make Nasi Goreng Cina

Sometimes when you don't feel like eating but you must eat or else your meds will eat through your intestines...  Yeah...  Whatever...

I am a sucker for Nasik Goreng or Fried Rice...  My basic repertoires are:

1. Basic Butter Fried Rice (from this recipe you can make Nasi Goreng Isi Ketam)

2. Basic Chinese Fried Rice (from this recipe you can make Nasi Goreng kampung,  Nasi Goreng Belacan)

3. Black/Dark Fried Rice (from this recipe you can make Nasi Goreng Nanas)

Today we're going to make Nasik Goreng Cina... 

Ingredients

Cold Rice
3-4 large shrimp (shelled and chopped)
3-4 tbsp mixed veggie
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp oil
Pepper

Method

Heat oil.  Fry shrimp till half cooked and remove from the wok.  Using the same oil,  fry garlic till fragrant. 

Add rice and stir to coat rice with oil. Add oyster sauce and fish sauce. Stir and fry until well mixed.

Add mixed veggies and pepper. Add shrimp. Serve hot with Cili padi and teloq bergoyang...  

I'm Awake: Let's Make Rumball!

I've put on half of the weight I've lost which was half of how much I used to weight...  Confusing?  Yes.

Anyway,  I have been missing the simple things in life like driving back from work and buying them slightly sweet rumball from a bakery in Langkawi.

I don't know the exact recipe but here's my take on the sweet sweet rumball...

Ingredients :

4 chocolate muffins/3 slices of chocolate cake

1 tbsp chocolate powder

1 tbsp honey

2 tbsp crushed salted peanuts/almond

1 tbsp chopped black raisins/ dried cherry

Salt to taste

Method:

Crush the muffins/cake until fine.  Add chocolate powder.  Mix well.  Add chopped peanuts and dried fruit.  Mix well.  Add honey.  Mix until well combined and salt to taste.

You can either:

A.  Knead dough into ball and coat with chocolate rice and let it sit for a day or two in a covered container in the fridge.

Or

B.  Let the dough sit in a covered container for a day or two before kneading into balls and coating the balls with chocolate rice...

Done .

I'm Awake: Let's Make Steamed Mushroom Ginger Garlic Chicken Rice

This is the "white and steamed" version of the normal claypot chicken rice. 

This is soooo yum!  I didn't put the measurement of the ingredients as I usually cook using the old "agak-agak"  measurement... I am old "pesen" ed. 

I usually use chicken breast meat or chicken wings chopped into small pieces so it will cook faster... I cook this rice in a steamer directly in the serving bowl...  I am lazy! 

Let's get cooking! 

Ingredient :

Chicken meat
Ginger
Garlic
Fish sauce
Light soya sauce
Sesame oil
White pepper
Soaked dried mushroom

Mix everything in a bowl.

Rice (washed,  Soaked,  drained)
Chicken stock
Butter

Mix together in a bowl and steam for 10 minutes.  Fluff rice so that the butter is well incorporated with rice. 

Add chicken and steam for 5-10 minutes until chicken is cooked. Serve with chopped Cili padi...
