lazy daisy meatball

Category - food for all



We had soupy milidi for Sunday’s night dinner. As a variation, I added meatmeals as one of the ingredients. You can refer to the actual recipe with no meatball which i posted in february2006.

Here goes the recipe ‘LAZY DAISY MEATBALL’
Ingredients: -
Minced meat (I used beef)
Garlic (chopped finely)
Daun sup or celery (chopped finely)
Cracked-pepper
Corn-flour
Salt to taste

Step-by-step:-
*Make sure the washed-minced meat is thoroughly strained. If not, susah to gelek it into shape and keep it in that shape!
Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
Dab a bit of oil onto your palm.
Gelek bancuhan bulat-bulat.
Do dab a bit of oil, again inbetween (elakkan meatballs melekat2 dgn each other).

What I did was that I fried the meatballs over medium heat until ¾ cooked. Reduce oil and use the same oil to tumis bawang and whatnots for the soup. When the soup was boiling, I added the meatball.

Iman so loves this, he wouldn’t get down from his high chair until he finished his 2nd serving.

Do also have a peek at FRIED WANTAN. We’ve been snacking on these yesterday. Mdh kononnya nak goreng and bawak masa discussion with his friends Rabu nanti (we had them frozen in the fridge now) tapi taktau lah sempat ke tidak.

sweet carrot rice with milk

Category: Baby/toddler food

ATTENTION: PB, MAAF, BELUM DAPAT POST RESEPI NASI AYAM. TUKANG MASAK BUSY BUT I PROMISE IT'S COMING, OKAY.

I’ve been postponing this for too long actually. I’ve been wanting to try out this recipe but it never take off until last night.


Iman, from my observation loves ‘tau foo fah’, especially when he has to fight with kakak to get bigger share. And for me to do it myself is kinda out of question. I know it takes so long to produce. The beans has to be soaked, then bla bla, then bla bla bla. Resorting to pasar malam is a a lot more alluring, I think. Back to Iman. I want to give him something similar, something fulfilling, something sweet yet nutritious. Since ‘tau foo fah’ was out of question at 8.30 last night, I prepared him SWEET CARROT RICE with MILK.

Here goes the recipe....

Ingredients
- cooked rice
- 6 carrot cubes
- milk/formula
- water
- vanilla essence
- sugar

Step-by-step
- Add water to carrot cubes in a pan/pot
- Heat up. To expedite the process, cover pan/pot
- Once melt, add cooked-rice and a bit of water (quantity depending on the final consistency you want)
- Let to boil for 5-10 minutes.
- Add a bit of sugar (jgn banyak – not good for your baby/toddler and you as well, nanti dia jadi over-active pulak)
- Add milk/formula (last night I used Iman’s MAMIL – about 3-4 scoops)
- Add drops of vanilla essence
- Stir well
- Let it simmer for another 10 minutes
- Heat off, let to cool
- Ready to eat

As I was trying to get the best angle (ceh, macamlah ‘propeksional’ sangat ambik gambo!), the battery went dead so no gambar eh, sorry!

Selamat mencuba ya!

weekdays noodle

Category: adult food

Who says you need all sorts of things when cooking something that involves blanching and frying in the making? The tips is that, use the same utensil for all procedures.


For example, I want to prepare telur dadar, stir-fry sayur and ikan goreng. First, masak telur dadar. Using the same kuali, masak sayur pulak. Next, you may want to rinse the kuali a bit. Lapkan and panaskan minyak untuk goreng ikan pulak. In the end, you only have ONE kuali to wash. As a working mom, I can’t be cerewet and use different utensil for different type of cooking.

Also, I want to share easy peasy WEEKDAYS NOODLE. It is easy to prepare, and takes a short time also, hence the name. To accommodate the little time we have during weekdays to prepare dinner for our family.

Here goes..

Ingredients
Mee (jenis yang selalu buat wantan mee)
Chicken stock
Bawang kisar
Tomato
Fishball
Kicap
Sesame oil
Garam

Step-by-step
MEE
Put water into a wok and bring to boil.
Add cooking oil.
Drop mee into the boiling water.
Cook until just tender.
Transfer into tapis and rinse.
Add kicap and sesame oil to the mee and gaulkan sampai rata.

SOUP
Heat frozen chicken stock sampai cair.
Meanwhile, panaskan wok tadi dan masukkan minyak.
Tumis bawang kisar until fragrant.
Add chicken stock, bring to a boil.
Add fishball and tomato.
Add a bit of salt to taste (jangan masin sgt sbb mee dah digaul dengan kicap)

Ambil mee and add the soup, serve immediately (kalau tak mee ti ‘soggy’ dan jadi besar dan lembik). To beautify, garnish with potongan daun bawang dan daun sup.
