椰浆饭和拉茶 ♦ Nasi Lemak and Teh Tarik


这就是椰浆饭。你可以大概看到我们放了什么配料。
This is Nasi Lemak (Coconut rice). You can see briefly what is inside.

椰浆饭的材料: Ingredients for Nasi Lemak:
Rice
椰浆 Coconut milk
香兰叶 Pandan leaf
鸡腿 Chicken leg
鸡蛋 Eggs
Oyster/ Mussel
Prawn
江鱼仔 Anchovy
花生 Peanuts
黄瓜 Cucumbers
蒜米 Garlic
大洋葱和小红洋葱 Onions and Shallots
马来虾膏粉 Belacan
辣椒干 Dried Chilli
黄姜粉Turmeric Powder
面粉 Flour

饭就像普通那样煮,但是不是用水,是用椰浆。其实要放香兰叶,但是这里买不到。
The rice is cooked like normal just that not with water, but with coconut milk. Actually should put pandan leaf, but we can't get it here.

炸鸡篇:
Fried Chicken Part:

鸡肉要腌过。除了普通的盐糖酱油外,最重要的是黄姜粉,马来人把它当作华人的五香粉用的。。。
Marinate the chicken with salt, sugar, soy sauce, the most important is Turmeric powder, malay use it like chinese Five-spice powder ...

然后沾鸡蛋,沾面粉那去炸。鸡肉太大块的话,最好是炸两回,一次热油炸一次温油炸。再不然就放进微波炉煮熟它(没办法的办法),但是肉汁和油会跑出来,皮就不脆了。
And then stick some egg and flour, then fry. If the chicken pieces are too big, try to fry them twice, once with hot oil and then once with warm oil. Or another lazy way is to put into the microwave and cook them (if you have no choice), but the meat juice will flow out and the skin will not be crispy anymore.

煎蛋篇:
Frying Eggs part:

就把鸡蛋打一打放酱油。(听说放盐会有氯气跑出来之类的,所以鸡蛋我都不放盐了)
just stir the eggs and put some soy sauce in it. (I heard that if you add salt will release clorine gas something like that, so i don't put salt anymore)

煎成这样一片片。。。
fry to pieces like this...

再切成这样一条条。。。
cut to slices like this...

Sambal
Sambal就是这道菜的灵魂。
Sambal is the soul of this dish.

需要一些切成环状的洋葱。。。
you need some onions in ring form...

这是红色小小粒的洋葱仔,很重要,香味全从它们来。。。
These small red Shallots are very important, the fragrance is from them...

那几陀被搅成稀巴烂的是:(12点起顺时钟)辣椒干,大洋葱,红色小洋葱仔,蒜米。。。还有很重要的belacan粉,和sambal oelek一罐(这样就不用自己弄这么多咯 :P)。。。
Those like shit are: (from 12 o'clock clockwise direction) dried chili, onions, shallots, garlic...and very imporant is belacan powder, and a bottle of sambal oelek (so that you don't need to make so much on your own :P)

东西炒一炒,把以上的东西靠感觉加进去。。。这道是拿来煮虾。。。
fry those sutff on above with your own feel....this is sambal with prawn...

这道是拿来煮蚝。。。
this is sambal with mussel...



还要煎一煎江鱼仔。。。烘一烘花生。。。这里买到的是上面这个罐头花生,将就一下啦!~~
fry some Anchovy...heat some peanuts....here we just use this king of peanut in can, don't be so fussy lah!~~


好了,所有的料都准备好了。。。
ok, all the stuff are ready...



一个人份大概就是这样咯。。。
for one person is something like this...




Teh Tarik

用热水冲茶(有点像红茶),加炼奶和糖。。。
boil hot water and pour into the filter with tea leaves (taste like red tea) in it, add some condensed milk and sugar...

拉一拉让空气接触一下,这就是马来西亚出名的Teh Tarik(拉茶),说穿了其实跟香港的丝袜奶茶差不多啦!~~:P
pull it with 2 cups and so that the tea has a contact with air, this is the famous malaysia Teh Tarik, but actually taste something like Hong Kong-style milk tea.

云吞面 ♦ Wonton noodle

有些放进汤(很随便用鸡精粉煮的鸡汤)里煮,有些拿来炸。。。

饺子与烧卖 ♦ Jiaozi (Chinese version of Dumpling) and Shaomai

饺子烧卖Jiaozi (Chinese version of Dumpling) and Shaomai


准备篇 Preparation part:

1)酱料 Sauce:
酱料的材料: Ingredients for Sauce:
洋葱 onion
蒜米 garlic
老干妈辣酱 "LaoGanMa" brand of spicy sauce
番茄酱 Tomato sauce/ Ketchup
sugar
酱油 soy sauce
虾酱(可选) Shrimp paste/belacan (optional)


用蒜米洋葱爆香(香),加上老干妈辣酱(辣),番茄酱(酸),糖(甜),酱油(咸)。。。还有什么想加的就加进去,像虾酱就有鲜味。
(注意:这个是无辣不欢的马来西亚人,我们突发奇想这样配来吃的,正统的不是这样的哦!你可以自己调适合你自己口味的酱料!~)
fry the garlic and onion (smell), add the spicy sauce (spicy), tomato sauce (sauer), sugar (sweet), soy sauce (salty)...and you can add any other thing you like, like Shrimp paste will make it more delicious.
(ps. this sauce is not the original one, it's created by us just because we like to eat spicy stuff, you can do it to fit your own taste!~)


2) Soup:
汤的材料: Ingredients for Soup:
鸡精块或鸡骨头 Chicken cube or Chicken bones


用鸡精快煮汤很简单,但是看起来好像不是很专业。我们用的是鸡骨中小火煲个两三小时的汤。
use chicken cube so boil the soup is very simple, but sounds not so professional. We choose to use chicken bone and boil it with middle low fire for 2 to 3 hours.


3)馅料 Filling:
馅料的材料: Ingredients for Filling:
猪肉碎 Minced Pork
五花肉 Pork belly
虾肉 Shrimp meat
大白菜 Chinese cabbage
红萝卜粒 red carrot cubes
冬菇粒(可选) mushroom cubes (optional)
马蹄粒(可选) Eleocharis dulcis cubes (optional)
糖盐 sugar and salt
胡椒粉 pepper powder
绍兴花雕酒 rice wine
酱油 soy sauce
鸡蛋 egg
薯粉 corn flour


左下角是机器打出来的猪肉碎,没有肉感,也没有肉味。。。
右下角是手打五花肉碎,比较没有打到这么碎,也比较有肉感和肉汁,还有一点点脂肪。。。
上面那个是虾肉碎。。。
另外还有大白菜切碎,加盐把水挤出来。。。
又或者红萝卜粒,冬菇粒,马蹄粒等等。。。

lower left is machine's minced pork, you can't bite anything from that...
lower right is minced pork belly using knife but not mechine, like this at least you can buy something, more juice and a bit fat on it...
the upper one is minced shrimp meat...
other than that, cut the chinese cabage, add salt and squizz out the water...
or you can also add red carrot, mushroom, or Eleocharis dulcis if you want...

调味料要加糖加盐,胡椒粉,绍兴花雕酒,酱油,鸡蛋,薯粉。。。
add sugar and salt, pepper powder, rice wine, soy sauce, egg, corn flour...
水饺的馅:基本一定要有机器猪肉碎,手打五花肉碎,大白菜碎。。。比较好吃可以加马蹄粒。。。
for Jiaozi: basically you must have mechine minced pork, hand minced pork belly, chinese cabbage...if you add Eleocharis dulcis will be better...
烧卖的馅:基本一定要有机器猪肉碎,手打五花肉碎,虾肉碎,红萝卜。。。比较好吃可以加冬菇粒。。。
for Shaomai: basically you must have mechine minced pork, hand minced pork belly, minced shrimp meat, red carrot... adding mushroom will add points...


饺子篇 Jiaozi part:

面粉自己搓,搓成圆圆一粒,弄扁,再把旁边搓平,中间留厚。。。讲就容易啦!要自己搓搓看才知道有多难啊!~~
mix flour with water, and keep on massage it. make them to a ball shape and make it flat, roll the side flatter but leave the middle to be thick...it's easy to say but you will find it very hard when you do it on your own!~~

包馅料。。。又怎么包?提供两种包法:
how to put the Filling in it? we teach you 2 ways of doing it:
普通饺子 Normal Jiaozi:http://limjn86.multiply.com/video/item/28
比较华丽但是很慢。。。looks nicer but very slow
东北饺子 North east Jiaozi:http://limjn86.multiply.com/video/item/27
比较快,又简单。。。very fast and simple...

第一个方法(美食家的煮法):用汤把它烫熟。。。这样饺子就会吸收汤的精华,吃起来味道也不同。。。但是之后那个汤就不能喝了,因为满是面粉。。。有点浪费那个汤似的。。。
The first way (Gourmet way): put them in to the boiling soup to cook...in this way, the Jiaozi will absorb the taste of the soup, will taste different...but then the soup cannot be drunk anymore, because it will be full of flour...this sounds a bit wasting the soup...
第二个方法(平民家的吃法):用开水烫熟。。。汤熟后放在汤里。。。既可以吃水饺又可以喝汤。。。但是饺子的皮因为是吸开水煮熟的,吃起来有点淡淡的。。。
The second way (Civilians way): use water to boil them...and then put into the soup...like this you can eat the Jiaozi as well as drinking the soup...but because the Jiaozi skin absorb plain water instead of soup, so the taste is not as good as the previous one...

烫熟了拿出来。。。看起来没有这么好看,沾酱吃起来却很美味哦!
they are cooked!~~ looks not very nice but it taste great with the sauce!~~


烧卖篇 Shaomai part:

烧卖就用现买的云吞皮,包了馅料放在抹了油的碟子,然后拿去蒸。。。那要怎么包烧卖?
we use the Wonton skin (just buy direcktly from the asia market) for Shaomai, put the filling inside and put on the plate with oil on top, then steam it...so how to put the filling?
看这里 see here:http://limjn86.multiply.com/video/item/29

可以用电饭锅蒸,但是之后我们显它火力不够太慢了。。。换去电炉来蒸。。。
you can use rice cooker to steam, but after that we found out it's not strong and very slow...then we change to use electric stove...

蒸好的样子!~~
The done look!~~

配酱料吃。。。赞!!~~
eat it together with the sauce....yummy!!~~

虽然看起来好像很废精神来弄这道菜。。。但是“煮菜除了享受结果,也享受煮的过程”。。。不明白?慢慢参透吧!~~~
although it seems like spending a lot of effort and time to cook this dish, "cooking is not only enjoying the result but also the process... "
cannot understand? try it and you will know~~

Japanese Yakitori Chicken and Garlic Rice ♦ 日本烧鸟串配蒜米炒饭

Yakitori是日本烧鸟串的名字。插在竹枝上看起来很像手风琴一样,漂亮极了。串了蔬菜又串鸡肉,互相交替,然后整个东西都用酱汁来腌。
Yakitori is the name for grilled chicken kabobs in Japan. These are especially pretty when prepared accordion-style on skewers. The vegetables are woven between ribbons of chicken, and everything is brushed with a gingery marinade.

烧鸟串材料: Ingredients for Yakitori Chicken:
米酒 mirin
酱油 soy sauce
sugar
鸡胸肉/无骨鸡肉 boneless chicken
蒜头 garlic clove, pressed (optional)
青葱 green onion, in inch-long pieces (optional)
灯笼椒 Capsicum annuum (optional)
蘑菇 mushroom (optional)
竹枝 bamboo skewers


烧鸟串基本上就是把鸡胸肉串在一起烧。鸡胸肉用米酒、酱油腌过。除了串鸡胸肉,还要串一些蔬菜,像蒜头,灯笼椒,青葱,蘑菇。。。都可以。。。
To make Yakitori, put the chicken on the bamboo skewer. The chicken is merinated by mirin, soy sauce. Other than chicken, you can put some vege, like garlic clove, Capsicum annuum, green onion, mushroom...just put what you like....


这就是烤好的烧鸟串(原本应该是用炭炉,好像烧satay那样。但是我们没有,用锅来干煎。:P)
This is the final look of Yakitori Chicken (the original one is using coal to cook (barbecue), just like satay. But we don't have it, just use a pan to heat them. :P)

蒜米炒饭材料: Ingredients for Garlic rice:
日本隔夜饭(不是在日本隔夜的饭,是日本米煮出来的饭放隔夜)cooked Japanese rice (*left over rice is the best)
洋葱 onion
蒜米 garlic
萝卜 carrot
蘑菇 mushroom
酱油 soy sauce
鸡蛋 eggs



蒜米炒饭其实很简单,跟平时的炒饭一样,只是放比较多的蒜米。。。蛋先炒过然后弄碎。。。然后炒蒜米, 蘑菇,萝卜。。。还有饭。。。
Garlic rice is actually similar as normal fried rice, just that you use more garlics... dry the eggs first and spoilt it...and then fry the garlics, mushroom, carrot....and then the rice...


配起炒饭来就是这个样子啦!看起来很简单,但是很花时间在串鸟串。。。
Here is the really final look!~~ looks easy but spent a lot of time on preparing the yakitori chicken...
