Kangkung Fever ON and You Don't know to Cook Kangkung? Here is my Mama Kangkung Recipe !

With PM statements about Kangkung recently... We, Malaysian have become known internationally for Kangkung. LOL.....

So if foreigners ask you about how to cook Kangkung like in Malaysian style and you don't know...
A bit embarrassing larr... isn't it.. hahaha :P  don't put off.. our beloved PM effort for putting us to another international level media frenzy k?

Today I am going to teach you how to cook a simple Kangkung Belacan *guarantee sedap!!*

You will need Chillies

Note : If you like spicy, add more of those small chillies. (shown in the picture) 

If you can't stand too much of spiciness then go for the big chillies. 

Kangkung that is nicely cut into half 

Dry small prawns..slight chop into pieces.

Sambal paste, can buy anywhere in the supermarket.

A hot pot  

Here is the cooking process : 

Put the chillies, dry prawns and one spoon of sambal sauce.   

oh ya.. plus 3 big cloves of garlic chopped !

After that put the Kangkung  inside the boiling pot for about 2 minutes or so.

(depend on the quantity) Rough estimation needed. 

This is an important step as if you skipped this step your kangkung will taste starchy and hard.

So please do cook the Kangkung inside the Hot boiling water First ! 

After it is almost 70% cooked put into the cooking wok to stir fry. 

( sorry for the bad image,  was indeed busy cooking ><)

After a few minutes...Tada !! Here is My Mama Style Stir Fry Kangkung ! 

Enjoy :) 

Note all the ingredients are always based on my rough estimation and also depend on the quantity of vegetables. Thus I didn't provide exact amount needed for each ingredients.  

Hope it helps ! 

Cheers,

A Burger that is Way better than myBurgerLab@Seapark 2013 !!

I have finally tried the famous myBurgerLab and ohh...boy... I was totally disappointed :(

This make me miss Mr Pig Burger so much !! This is the link that I have previously posted on Mr Pig Handmade Burger.

Perhaps my expectation is just too high on myBurgerLab.

I order Spicy Hawaii 2.0 Chicken Burger (mild), the problem is it, it stated that my patty was a grilled patty!! But when i tasted it, it taste only 10% grilled. For the balance 90% it taste more like steam chicken rather than a juicy grilled chicken. Total damage RM 15 for a burger T.T


After I finished my meal, a lady from myBurgerLab staff approached me and ask me how was the meal. I replied her that it was just ok. She asked why? I told her about my opinion about the patty.

Her replied was oh.. she responded by explaining the chicken patty was actually being sort like "smoothen" it (I don't really get it) before it was grilled. She did admit that the patty was only grilled awhile though. So isn't that become a halfway grilled chicken patty instead??

For those who know about it, please explain it to me!!  :/


Due to the fact that I miss Mr Pig Handmade Burger too much, my friend actually bought Mr Pig Handmade Burger Patty and brought it all the way to Kuala Lumpur from Kuching. *felt so lovely*

Is time to make a replica of Mr Pig Burger !!!!

Firstly, you will need the following ingredients :

Gardenia Bread or any other brand

Cheese Slices and BBQ sauce

Butter or Margarine 

Most important ingredients the MR PIG PATTIES both chicken and beef!!

Firstly, add butter into the non-stick pan  

**Sizzling in process**

Wait till the patties turn slightly brown and its done! 

Spread your egg widely

Add the cooked patties, one chicken and one beef patty. Add the slice cheese in between the patties.

Try to wrap it up with the omelette 

Add BBQ sauce and put the bread in between the patties ! Walo ~!! 

IS DONE !! YUMMY !! 

Even-though this is just a plain bread, not crayon colour nor charcoal colour, the main ingredient is still the most crucial part! The Patties are just so juicy :D 

Thanks to MrPigHandmadeBurger you have make my day :D 

Goodbye myBurgerlab and Burger Kaw Kaw :P 

With Love, 

Elena

Simple Dish Survival Food against UNMC SA monopoly Food Court !

I hadn't have time to blog much these days as I have been catching up with my enthusiastic  hardworking friend on their Japanese Homework ><

Who ever is studying in UNMC, you must have known that, the new Cafeteria have been burning holes on your wallet these days.

A few days ago, I was eating with my friends in the new Cafeteria. She order a very simple Bihun with only A FEW vegetable like Kangkung in the Bihun.....

Guess how much was it ???? WELL.... is RM 3 !!! Wui... is just Bihun leh... there is no meat also !!!

Another friend of mine order Fried Rice and it cost RM 3.5 !!
Here's the thing.. the Fried rice is so plain and it doesn't have much vegetable on it.. no meat too!

Students in UNMC is going to be a Monk soon....

During my last semester, I still can afford to eat from the mixed rice stall where i can get some decent scope of vegetables and meat... but today.. there is no more stall like that..

Is been now replaced by a company ! Is a monopoly now ! Controlling almost all the food prices.

Thank God I brought my own Food that day.. phew..


So today mission is to blog about a simple dish  that you could just cook it in your OWN ROOM !

Today dish is "Steamed Okra with rice and soya sauce"


I am using a Multi-Cooker by the way :)

Pour water into the Pot and turn temperature into high heat.

I use a stainless Steel bowl and put my rice on it. I don't have a measuring cup, couldn't tell you how much rice I put in. Is all estimation. *agak-agak*

Pour water into the bowl and wash the rice. 

After that pour the water away.

Pour in new water, as usual this is estimation too.. *agak-agak* 

I pour the water at the level that is enough to cover up the rice. 

Less water is better than more water, unless you dont mind eating congee aka bubur. 

Water can be add later on if is not sufficient.

Once the Pot water is boil, turn it down to high medium heat.  

Place the rice bowl in the centre. 

While you are waiting for your rice to be ready, take out your Okra. 

Remember to wash your Okra first !! 

Cut the top and bottom of your Okra. 

After cutting your Okra, check on your rice, it should be half way cook by then. 

Remember if at this stage, the rice is still hard and dry, pour in a bit of water. 

When your rice is almost done, put your clean and cut Okra on top of the rice.

After 4 minutes, Your rice and Okra is done ! 

Here is your roughly 15 minutes quick cook dish "Steamed Okra with rice and soya sauce' 

Okra with Soya Sauce taste super nice !! Just Try it !
Can Save $$$ :P


Hope you guys can have a quick and cheap lunch/dinner with this recipe !

Enjoy :)



With Love,
Elena.
