::sautéed chicken & mushroom with steamed asparagus, topped with black pepper sauce::

i bought the asparagus for awhile.. but havent got the time to use it yet.. i havent cooked for awhile hehe.. this dish can be done in 2 ways.. but i wanna make it easy for us, not too chef-y la kan.. cuma presentation wise, saje je buat konon2 cam professional hahaha.. tp tak menjadi sgt la.. 

ok enough rambling.. here's the recipe for 2 person:

{bahan2}

~main ingredient~

4 strips of chicken breast fillet, cut into bite sized pieces

1/2 of big onion, chopped

1 inch of ginger, sliced

1/2 bowl of sliced white mushroom, cleaned

2 handfuls of asparagus, cleaned

~herbs~

rosemary

black pepper

cayenne pepper

salt

~sauces~

black pepper sauce, thinned, 7-10 table spoons (up to u)

sweet soy sauce, 2 table spoons

oyster sauce, 2 table spoons

{cara2}

1) marinate the chicken with dashes of black pepper, cayenne pepper and rosemary..

2) in a pan, heat some oil (i used olive oil) and fry yr chicken and ginger slicces until it is a lil golden brown..

3) then add in yr chopped onions and sliced mushrooms.. stir them well until the onion is cooked..

4) then pour in all the sauces, stir well and let it simmer.. pls note that i didnt use any salt in this chicken dish as there is already enough salt for me.. but if tak cukup tambah je la ye.. ;)

5) while u wait for yr chicken to simmer, dont forget to steam the asparagus, and then toss them in a lil salt n pepper..

6) if u want to present it the way i did, place the asparagus at the bottom in any way u liked.. mine was 2 tiered.. saje je.. hehe.. then dish out the chicken n mushroom from the sauce and place them on the asparagus.. lastly, scoop out the sauce and pour them on top of the chicken and let them drizzle down onto the asparagus.. siap! hehee..

ok i mentioned there are 2 ways to cook it.. i did the very MALAS way of tossing the chicken n mushroom in the sauce.. if u want, once the onion is cooked, take them out of then pan and then simmer the sauce separately.. tu jer la.. hehehe.. 

::tomyam grilled chicken::

to me.. grilled chicken or fish is a very versatile dish.. u can use just about anything in yr kitchen to have many types of grilled chicken/fish.. so this time, i used the remaining tomya, paste to make my grilled chicken.. sgt2 simple.. 

this is how i did it..

{bahan2}

chicken breast stripes..

tom yam paste

lemon juice

sugar

onion

> no need salt sbb tom yam paste tu da ada salt.. 

{cara2}

1) combine the tom yam paste with lemon juice and sugar.. and then gaul rata on the chicken, front and back..

2) paste yg lebih2 tu letak in a bekas, and put half of the onions in the bekas. add water if necessary..

3) place yr chicken on the grill rack, and onion slices on top of the chicken.. grill for about 20 mins each side.

4) boil the remaining of the paste to make the sauce, and then serve them on the chicken when they're done with vege of yr choice, mine will almost always be broccoli hehehe... siap.. :)

::lemony & gingerly baked siakap::

healthy diet continues.. hehehe.. today teringin nk mkn ikan coz rasa mcm da lama sgt tak mkn ikan.. so i bought siakap kat jusco supermarket (sbb dkt dgn ofc hehe).. usually bila beli ikan kat pasar, they wud siang the fish and de-scale it.. tp kat jusco ni dia buang perut jer.. so tpaksa la buang the scales myself.. haishhhh, buang masa org ar jusco ni.. hihihi.. ok, u might notice knp siakap aina ni takde rupa siakap ni??? tats because we actually fillet kan the siakap ourselves.. well, actually ajoy yg tolong filletkan the fish.. hehehehe terrer tak suami sy.. ;)

there's also another reason why i used quite a lot of ginger in my cooking lately.. because i learnt tat consuming ginger pun bole loose weight!! i think it is largely because we're getting rid of angin2 dlm bdn kita yg buat kita nmpk bloated tu kan.. eh byk lak bebel.. here's d recipe!

{bahan2}

siakap - 1 ekor, fillet, buang tulang, clean

blend:

~ ginger - 2 inches 

~ garlic (i used roasted garlic) - 2 teaspoons/1 big clove

~ big onion - 1/2 of the onion

~ black pepper - 1 teaspoon

~ lemon juice - 1 whole lemon

~ salt - 1 1/2 teaspoons

~ sugar - 2 teaspoons 

~ seasoning - dash (optional)

~ cayenne pepper - dash (optional)

~ olive oil - 1/2 tablespoon (optional)

{cara2}

1) blend all the blended ingredients

2) line the baking dish with olive oil if u want.. place the fillet of siakaps.. 

3) pour all the blended ingredients on top of the fish and about 4 tablespoons of water

4) if u want, cover the baking dish.. but i find that the fish cooks a lil too slow when i did.. 

5) bake the fish in the oven for 40mins, about 20mins each side of the fish.. or just check if the fish is cooked from time to time..

6) when they're done, serve them with the remaining of the sauce from the baking dish and yr choice of steamed vege or salad.. enjoy! :)

::keema curry::

Keema, Kheema or Qeema (Hindi: क़ीमा, Urdu: قیمہ, pronounced [ˈqiːmaː]; Punjabi: ਕ਼ੀਮਾ; from Turkish 'kıyma') is a traditional meat dish of Pakistan and India. Originally this word meant minced meat.^[1] It is typically minced-lamb or goat curry with peas or potatoes. Keema can be made from almost any meat, can be cooked by stewing or frying, and can be formed into kababs. Keema is also sometimes used as a filling for samosas or naan. 

> taken from wiki ;)

This dish mmg is best to use minced lamb/mutton.. but we can always substitute with beef or chicken. In my case, i used minced beef.. lebih2 from making burger hari tu.. hehehe.. i love eating this dish with naan or chapati or just bread pun ok.. for reference, i googled this recipe and found this video.. and of course and as always, i tweaked the recipe based on what i have in my kitchen and to suit our taste. for example, keema mmg sgt2 best if ada green peas but unfortunately my ajoy doesnt eat peas, so i took them out from this recipe.. but if u like, pls add them in yr keema.. serious sedap! add more colours to yr keema too! hehehe..

i based this recipe using this video (click this link).. 

and this is my recipe pulak.. always remember i always cook for 2 person k.. so sila la adjust balik the recipe for bigger portion hehehe..

{bahan2}

minced beef

ginger - about 2 inches, pounded

roasted garlic - 2 teaspoons, pounded

cili padi - 6 small ones, pounded

curry powder - 1 & 1/2 teaspoons

chicken stock - powder, 1 teaspoon

salt - 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste

big onion - 1/2 of it, chopped

potato - 1 big one, cut into cubes

tomato - 1 fruit, chopped

curry leaves - 6 small ones

{cara2}

1) combine the minced meat with the pounded ingredients (ginger, garlic & cili padi), salt, curry powder and chicken stock. put it aside first.

2) heat oil/margerine/butter/ghee and fry the onions until golden brown

3) add in the meat and curry powder and fry until meat is cooked

4) then add in the tomatoes and potatoes and mix well. then cover and let it cook for about 5-10 mins, until the potatoes are cooked.

5) open the lid and stir for a lil bit more and serve.. done! ;)

::tips: instinctive cooking::

lately i have been cooking using my instincts instead of referring to books or internet.. and alhamdulillah, it turned out great.. well to us at least hehehe. however, i realised some of my friends said i am good in cooking because i can cook instinctively/spontaneously or we knw it as campak2.. one of my aunties will call it 'lebur'.. well wat ever u call it, it simply means not following any recipes, but using yr instinct on wat ingredients to use in yr cooking.. 

so how do i do it? here are the tips i use when cooking campak2.. hehehe..

1) i look at wat ingredients i have in my lil kitchen..

2) then i look at wat bhn mentah i want to use (chicken, fish, beef, etc)..

3) after choosing the main raw material, u shud knw wat ingredients fits best for the bhn mentah ure gonna use.. for example, if ure cooking fish, lemon or lime is almost always a must to remove the hanyir-ness of the fish.. well u get wat i mean..

4) next, for dry ingredients.. u can never ever go wrong with salt and pepper la.. tgk mana2 recipe pun usually mesti letak salt and pepper.. hehehe.. other ingredients like lemon or ginger or oregano will depend on wat flavour u wanna have in yr food.. wat yr appetite is at tat time.. and whether it goes well with other ingredients.. for example, kalau tak kena letak serbuk kari/kurma, jgn la tiba2 letak kari/kurma powder kan.. mmg pelik la jdnya hahahaha.. 

5) quantity of ingredients ni yg agak tricky actually.. somehow dr dulu, if my mum were to cook any large portion of meal, mesti discuss with me on how much serai to use, how much onions to use coz mum said i have good instinct on this.. tp pernah jugak tak cukup ingredients hehehe.. esp when i 2nd guess myself and reduce the quantity of spices.. hehehe.. so this part, u basically hv to look at the amount of raw meat u'll be cooking, and then kena la tgk the portion of dry ingredients tu.. for example kalau nk masak rendang 3kilo takkan pki 5biji bawang je kan, confirm la tak cukup.. amount of salt to put in pun ikut instinct jugak.. hmmm tp this one mmg susah nk bg tips.. i guess u'll get the hang of it as time goes by, practice makes perfect kan.. so kena practice guna instinct la lps ni.. hehehe.. 

tu je la kut.. m also still learning myself.. there are a lot more that i tak pndi lagi.. and there are still food that i need to refer to recipes whenever m cooking.. ni kira kalau nk masak cam western food, or simple cincai food bole la guna instinct2 ni.. 

good luck and dont stop learning! ;)

::creamy lem0n chicken::

salam & hey y'all..

some of you might know that ajoy and i are watching our diets now.. so lately ni selalu mkn grilled chicken.. but this recipe, mmg leceh ckit.. ckp awal2 ni.. coz it involves a lot of processes.. but, yg bestnya, no oil is involved in this recipe.. yeayyy!! hehe.. so sape yg rajin bole la try k.. ;)

{bahan2}

A - perap

chicken breast strips (i used 4)

salt

black pepper

1 and 1/2 lemon (juice & skin)

ginger - chop/slice (d size of a thumb hehe)

B- other bahan2

campbell chicken soup (1 small tin/305g)

cayenne pepper

potato (1 big one, potong 8)

brocolli

carrot

roasted garlic (optional)

{cara2}

1) first of all, the night before tu, marinade/perap the chicken, together with the lemon skins.. kalau tak nk overnite, i think ard 4 hrs pun ok kut.. hahaha lama kan.. 

2) before we cook the chicken, make sure u boil the potatoes and carrots until it is half cooked.. 3quarter cooked pun bole.. 

3) then, take the chicken out of the fridge and arrange them in a baking dish.. pour all the bahan2 perap tu in the baking dish as well..

4) arrange the boiled potatoes in the baking dish.. make sure semua bhn2 (potatoes & chicken) are about the same level. this is to ensure yr potatoes wont overcook..

5) then pour the chicken soup on top of the chicken and potatoes.. make sure they are covered.. add about half cup of water into the dish.. 

6) dash some salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste.. cover the baking dish with foil and dont forget to poke lots of holes on the foil.. 

7) bake them in oven (i used microwave oven) for 30mins..

8) then, ensure the potatoes and chicken are cooked. if they're not, masuk la balik dlm oven k.. if they are, then this next step is optional.. nk buat bole, tak nak pun bole.. hehe.. i did this coz ajoy suka ayam tu mcm kering2 ckit.. 

9) so i grilled the chicken and potatoes tu pulak for another 20mins.. asingkan the chicken & potatoes from the baking dish yg ada soup tu, and put them on yr grilling rack.. grill for 10mins on each side of the chicken..

10) utk sauce pulak, while the chicken is grilling, pour the remaining sauce frm the baking dish in another pan and then heat yr periuk.. add some water from time to time and heat them until the sauce reach the consistency u want for the sauce.. this way, we are not wasting on the sauce we used to cook the chicken.. :)

11) when the chicken is done, take them out from the microwave and let them cool down a lil.. then steam yr brocolli & carrots.. while ure doing that, bole la start susun the chicken n potatoes cantek2 on yr plates hehe..

12) the sauce should be ready by now.. remove them from the heat and transfer them into a sauce bowl or watever u wanna use la k..

13) lps da susun chicken, potatoes, carrots and brocolli, bole la drizzle the sauce on the chicken and potatoes.. siap utk dimkn.. bon apetit and happy cooking!

::homemade grilled burger patty::

knp nk kena emphasize on homemade burger patty? ye la, kalau cakap psl buat homemade burger kang, igt kita masak pki burger ramly or such kan.. hehehe.. tak aci2.. actually i teringin sgt nk buat burger patty sdri yg tebal and juicy mcm restaurants2 mcm bijou, delicious, tgif, etc.. so wat i did was mcm biasa browse thru mcm2 recipe from the net and improvise to our taste la.. hehe.. so here's my recipe..

{bahan2}

minced/grounded beef

salt

black pepper

oregano

chopped onion

{cara2}

1) in a bowl, mix all the ingredients with a spoon.. always remember, JANGAN pakai tangan, sbb the heat from our hands will melt the fat in the beef and that will take the juice away from the burger nanti.. sbb tu kita gaul dgn sudu.. :)

2) pastu take a portion and bulat2kan dgn tgn.. tp jgn lama sgt tau hehe..

3) pastu on a flat surface letak clingwrap/aluminium foil.. guna chopping board pun bole hehe.. pastu place another clingwrap/foil on top of the patty pastu tekap dgn pinggan smpi thp keleperan yg dikehendaki.. like me, i like it to be tebal2.. da siap da patty nyer.. :)

4) ok nk masak pulak, remove the patties from the foil and place them on a grilling rack yg telah di alas dgn aluminium foil and dah dicucuk2.. 

5) grill for 12 mins.. pastu turn the burger and grill for another 12 mins.. kalau nk letak cheese, bole letak when the timer is already at 11th min, stop the oven, letak cheese pastu press start again.. 1 min is enough for the cheese to melt just right n just nice on the burger..

6) in the mean time, you can prepare yr buns with any sauce u like, and lettuce/cucumber/tomato or watever u like.. as for us, i had mine with black pepper sauce & chilli sauce, and ajoy had his with mayonnaise and chilli sauce.. bon apetit!!
