Fried rice vermicelli eaten with fish cracker and sambal kicap. 

Fried rice vermicelli or bihun goreng or meehoon goreng is one of the Malaysian food which is usually eaten during breakfast. It can be homemade, or bought from small stores and restaurants. There are many types of fried rice vermicelli but this recipe which I am going to share is a simple one using ingredients that are already available at home. The recipe uses shrimp paste, but if you don't have it you can substitute with stock of choice or egg. 

We always eat fried vermicelli with fish cracker or fried egg.

Ready in about 30 minutes.
Serves for 6 peoples

  • 200 gram rice vermicelli
  • 7 shallots
  • 5 dried chili (cut into 1 inches long and soak in warm water for 5 minutes)

  • 1 green chili (chopped thinly)
  • 5 tablespoon sweet soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon tomato ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or palm sugar

Malay/English I was cooking fish curry when my mom asked me to cook this green vegetable. It was just recently my family eat this vegetable. It looks like lettuce to me. I even imagine to eat it raw in my sandwich. The packaging wrote Yau Mark Tam. Yau mark tam? A vegetable from China I guess. Then I thought I would just sauté it with anchovies. And today I searched about yau mark tam in the internet and... it is actually romaine lettuce... hahaha... But sauteed romaine lettuce is also delicious. So let's look at the recipe. Ready in 15 minutes Ingredients 1 head of romaine lettuce or yau mak tam 2 shallots (sliced) 2 cloves garlic (sliced) 1 tablespoon anchovies 1 tablespoon oyster sauce 3 tablespoon cooking oil Some drops of white vinegar Salt to taste Methods Heat cooking oil in a pan.

Nasi Goreng or fried has become our family's staple dish. It is easy to make and can be an alternative choice for white rice dish. There are many types of nasi goreng such as Nasi Goreng Kampung (Country Fried Rice), Nasi Goreng Cina (Chinese Fried Rice), Nasi Goreng Ikan Masin (Salted Fish Fried Rice), Nasi Goreng Kerabu (Salad Fried Rice), Nasi Goreng Seafood ( Seafood Fried Rice) and many more. The most commonly made nasi goreng at home is only basic fried rice with addition of meat or dried salted fish and also egg.  Today I will be sharing a recipe of nasi goreng which I made during breakfast for my family. It is nasi goreng ikan masin or salted fish fried rice. This fried rice is really liked by Malaysian as it has variation in its flavor as the fried salted fish is added in it.

Lempeng (lamp-eng) or flat pancake is our regular meal for breakfast. It is easy to make, uses simple ingredients and delicious. The ingredients are all purpose flour, egg, salt, margarine and water. It is cooked in a round and flat shape but usually the texture differs according to personal preference. Some people loves it thick and soft. Some other loves it thin and soft. Some loves the surface to be crunchy but soft in the middle. I prefer the third version of lempeng. Lempeng is usually eaten with granulated sugar, condensed milk and syrups. The basic lempeng is plain in flavor, making it suitable to be eaten with condiments. I like it with curry. It is so delicious when eaten together until I usually add one more piece in my plate. =) Ready in 15 to 30 minutes. For 5 servings Ingredients 3 cups all purpose flour 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1 to 2 tablespoons margarine Water Methods Mix all the ingredients together except water. It is okay if the marg
