Noodles have been my favorite food for dinner and in rainy days. It is a comfort food for me. If I cannot find fresh noodles to be cooked in the fridge, I will cook the instant noodles. Although it is not a healthy option.  Noodles are versatile food. It can be fried, add in the soup, add in curry, deep fried for snack, and many more. In this entry I will share a very simple and healthy recipe which is soup noodle. There are many recipes of soup noodles. From rich soup noodles, spicy, seasoned soup noodles and many more. But this recipe of soup noodles is far from the glamorous world of flavorful soup noodles.  This soup noodles is an ordinary recipe which we can make at home almost anytime. It is because the method is simple and not many ingredients are used. In fact, we can use whatever we have at home. I call this as my everyday soup noodles. Even though it is simple, for me, the flavor of the soup is satisfying for my everyday need. Not too rich, not too plain. That is why i like i

Okra or lady's finger is a delicious and versatile vegetable. It can be sauteed, steamed, add into curry and soups, and many more. Young okra are soft and tender when cooked, they add  variety of flavor and texture in your curry and soup. In this entry I add this easy and simple recipe of sauteed okra which you can add as side dish to your rice and curry. I made this to accompany my canned sardine soup dish which I made for lunch that day. Okra usually goes well with fish dish.  In this recipe not much ingredients are used. I used shrimp paste to add more flavor to it. If you don' have shrimp paste you can use fried anchovies or dried shrimp, and even fresh shrimps.  Ready in around 15 minutes.  Ingredients 7 okras 2 shallots 1 pinch or 1/4 teaspoon shrimp paste or dried shrimp 1 bird eye chili 2/3 teaspoon salt A pinch of sugar 3 tablespoon cooking oil Methods Pound shrimp paste or dried shrimp, shallots and chili together. Slice the okras. Heat the oil in the pan. Add in poun

Canned sardine is a versatile food which we can use to cook many dishes. There are several types of canned sardines, such as sardine in oil and sardine or tuna in tomato sauce. The way it is processed made sardines bones to be soft and edible. This makes the canned sardine more convenient to be consumed and also simplified the fish sandwich making process.  Today I cooked a simple dish out of a canned sardine. This is initially my father's recipe and we eat this with rice. I call it Canned Sardine Soup. It is a thin soup made with some spices and canned sardine with its tomato sauce. Even though it is thin in consistency this soup is flavorful. It is suitable to be made for lunch, dinner and during weekend. Lets check the recipe.   Ingredients 1 canned sardines in tomato sauce (400 to 500g) 7 cloves garlic 3 dried chilies cut in 1 inch long and soaked 5 minutes in hot water or 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 tablespoon black pepper powder or 1 tablespoon black pepp

I was thinking what to cook with the chicken my mom put near the kitchen sink. Usually my mom will fry them after marinating them with turmeric powder and salt. But on the day before my mom cooked tumis , a spicy coconut sauce. It is a sauce added in Nasi Kerabu and also suitable to be served with Ayam Percik (Grilled Chicken in Coconut Sauce) and Ikan Percik (Grilled Fish in Coconut Sauce) . I think I want to cook a different fried chicken than the one my mom always cook to suit the Tumis. Then I thought of this recipe. It is like the fried chicken in my mother's Chicken Rice. I added some ingredients and omitted some. The result satisfy me. The fried chicken has a combination of sweet and savory flavor in it.  Ready in 30 minutes  Ingredients 1/4 chicken (around 400 gram) 1 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tsp turmeric powder  1/2 tsp fennel seed (crushed to release the flavor) 1 clove garlic (crushed or minced) 1/2 tsp sweet soy sauce Cooking oil for deep frying Methods Clean

Kerabu is a type of salad in Malaysia. I think in Thailand there  are also similar dish like this. It is a form of vegetable, fruit and or meat salad which are finely chopped and mixed with other ingredients and flavorings such as grated coconut, coconut milk, nuts and many others.  Kerabu is really tasty when eaten with rice.  It is good eaten along with curry, and gulai. One of the kerabu recipe is Sambal Pauh which I will translate as Spicy Fish and Mango salad. Even though it is called sambal it look and taste more like salad.  Sambal Pauh is a dish which contains a combination of spicy, salty, fishy, a hint of sweet and sour taste. These combination of taste maybe enough to satisfy our taste buds. Maybe that is why many people just eat it alone with rice.  This dish can be side dish to curry or gulai, or become the main dish, only with rice.  Ingredients 1 medium size fish (usually mackerel is used) 1 small unripe mango 1 teaspoon chili paste 1 or 2 grilled shallot Salt and su

Vegetable pancake is one of my favorite breakfast food. It is delicious, nutritious and fulfilling. It is also a flexible recipe, as I can always change some of the ingredients based on what I have in the kitchen.  Lately I have been persuading myself to eat more and more vegetable everyday. As our age increase year by year, our risk in getting disease also increase. Diabetes, high blood pressure and heart diseases are some of the major health problems faced by many of us. There are also the dangerous cancer and kidney related diseases. Some efforts that we can all do to maintain our health are to consume more fruits and vegetables and drink enough water everyday. These are some of the easy way to take good care of our body.  So I made vegetable pancake as an effort to add more vegetable into my breakfast. The batter is soft but not fluffy, added with some crunchy vegetable such as cabbages and carrot. I just use ingredients that I already have in the kitchen. You can add different kin
