Chicken Congee

-
Hello. It has been two weeks since I added porridge into my daily diet. Eating congee helps to comfort my stomach a lot. Hence I decided to continue to eat congee alternately with other meals like rice and bread.  In the beginning, I made the plain rice porridge to be eaten along with other meat meals and stir fried vegetables. My family call it moi. But while surfing the internet I found congee recipes. This reminds me of my congee making addiction in some years ago.  Congee for me is a type of rice porridge that you can eat it alone without adding anything. Usually I saute the basic ingredients first in oil before adding the rice. So the congee is usually creamier that moi. And the color is not pure white caused by the oil.  This is one of the congee recipe I've made. It is delicious, suitable to be eaten when having fever, menstrual pain for women and also when having stomach pain. The recipe I use here use lots of garlic and ginger, as I usually eat this congee while ...

Grilled Prawn Recipe

-
Many years ago I, I made this roasted prawn during my family gathering. A tasty recipe. And my family like it. After that, I haven't cook the recipe anymore. Until now. Because I didn't buy dried oregano anymore. And prawn also getting more and more expensive. Back then, my family run a fresh seafood store so the prawn are easier to get.  This recipe combine the sweet and sour flavor combined with the taste of herbs. It is sweet and refreshing. Use medium to big prawn for a better and fresh taste.  Ingredients  1 kilogram of prawns  1 to 2 palm sugar or brown sugar  Tomato puree  5 cloves of garlic, cursed then minced  Some dried oregano  Salt to taste  A tablespoon of cooking oil.  Methods Mix the prawns with other ingredients and let them rest for an hour or two. Then, grill them on the fire.

Healthy and Easy Vegetable Pancake

-
Image
Pancake is an ordinary dish in our house since I was a small child. But it is not the pancake the western people eat. Our pancake is a version of our own. We call it 'lempeng'. It is solid and soft. Sometimes it can be crispy, depending on the ingredients used and the method of cooking.  Our 'lempeng' or pancake is soft and a little bit salty. It is because we put margarine and salt in it. Yes margarine is not really healthy but we have been consuming it for decades.  I am not really a fan of plain lempeng pancake. My family eat it with sugar or condensed milk. Sometimes I eat it like that. But sometimes I eat it with curry or kurma. And many times, I add some vegetables in it.  Some of the vegetables I add in the lempeng pancake are Chinese celery, carrots, onions, cabbage, capsicum, chili and potato. This depends on what I have in the kitchen. Sometimes I just add Chinese celery only. Sometimes I add several vegetables in it.  Usually I eat my vegetable lempeng pan...

Sauteed Cabbage With Turmeric

Recently I am eating cabbage more frequently. It is because I want to improve my health. And cabbage can stay longer in the fridge compared to some other vegetables like spinach and mustard greens. It is easy to prepare too.  However I sometimes don't really like the thicker part of cabbage. Usually I cut it smaller and thinner.  Recently too I frequently saute cabbage with turmeric and anchovy. I love to eat it with white rice and curry, with white rice and chicken in soy sauce, and many more. I think it is suitable to be eaten with rice and curry.  This dish I called sauteed cabbage with turmeric is made with onion, garlic, anchovies or anchovy cube, chili, mustard seeds and of course turmeric. I love the taste. It is inspired by Muslim Indian restaurant menu, but I don't really sure and don't have the recipe of their cabbage dish. So I invented my own sauteed cabbage with turmeric instead.  So lets see the recipe. This recipe is for 2 servings.  Ingredients 1...
