Stir Fried Glass Noodles With Sambal And Tamarind Juice

 

Have you ever tried stir-fried glass noodles with sambal?  If you haven’t, you’re in for a treat! This glass noodle stir fry is delicious and bursting with flavors!

It is prepared with a range of ingredients. The combination of vegetables, protein, and carbohydrates. The vegetable that I am using is French bean. Besides, the dish also contains potatoes, tempeh, tofu, and tofu sheet. While the shrimp provides a protein-packed base. Makes it rather full even though eaten without rice. It is truly as satisfying as a one pot meal.

The secret to bringing all these flavors together is the sambal which you may refer to Nasi Lemak Sambal about the ingredients of making it. It’s spicy, savory, slightly sweet, and just a little bit salty, with a rich umami flavor that’s hard to resist.

These glass noodles have a tangy taste from the tamarind sauce in addition to the umami and spice from the sambal. Although it can be slightly tart, the flavour of the tamarind is never overpowering. It makes your lips pucker a little bit, but it goes well with any spicy meal. You'll love these juice additions for sure.

The fresh flavor of just-squeezed lime juice or calamansi juice, a balance of crunchy and chewy, the pungency of the sambal flavor, and just enough heat to set your tongue tingling.

Ondeh-Ondeh in 3 flavour (椰丝球)

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh...

Pandan Coconut Moss Jelly Mooncake

So, this year I am going to share some of jelly mooncakes that I love. Making jelly mooncakes isn't difficult, and I'm always eagerly anticipating the finished product, because there are always so many surprises when I cut into it. I got the inspiration from an Indonesian dessert “lumut” pudding. Puding Lumut or “moss pudding is a type of jelly or jelly pudding originating from Indonesia, make with a mixture of agar-agar powder, eggs, coconut milk and sugar which is cooked until it forms a moss like mass. Today I am going to transform it into a mooncake.   Other than the beautiful moss from cooking and stirring the mixture. The white layer part that looks like shredded coconut which is actually made from the mixture of agar powder, fresh coconut water and coconut milk. Grate it after it is set...

Braised Pork Belly Char Siu on Stove

  Grilling char Siu is time-consuming? Yes, indeed!! The marinating and cooking steps involved in grilling char Siu might take a lot of time.   In order to allow the flavors to seep into the meat, the traditional process involves marinating the pork for a few hours, often overnight.   Additionally, grilling might take some time, particularly if you want that distinctive char. And also create a crispy surface and smoky flavor. You might say can make char siu, or Chinese BBQ pork with oven baking, or air frying. Oven baking produces an excellent crust and a balance of juiciness. Air fryer is the quickest way to produce a crispy outside and a soft within, although it might not cook as uniformly as oven baking. Today I am sharing a super easy stove top version. You even get a lovely sauce to go with it, and the results are just incredible. It lacks charred or roasted flavor of charcoal because it is cooked entirely on the hob.   Trust me, this method is definitely ...
