Nasi Minyak Tokmi & Gulai Nasi Minyak

These, were what we had for Eidul Adha.. Although we did not get to go balik either my or Tebby's kampung, this Nasi Minyak & its accompanying gulai, surely brought us back.. tho not physically. And I know I accomplish something when Tebby commented 'just like Mi does it'.

I've shared the recipe of Nasi Minyak TokMi here. Last time I did it with Gulai Ala Akhni. This time I made the real Gulai Nasi Minyak. However, as I learned this from my MIL, there's no specific measurement. She simply 'main campak-campak and agak-agak only'. So your judgement is important. But I try to share for about a kg of beef. Here goes the recipe..

Ingredients

1. Meat (I used beef) - Cut into medium sized chunks. Wash and drain.

2. Fried shallot (bawang goreng) - You need quite a lot, for a of beef, you're gonna need about 6-8 tbsp of this. If you're too lazy to do this yourself (like me, but let's call it convenience), you can use the ready-made fried shallot. So far, the best I found is 'Maju Limbat'. Bought it in Pasar Sungei Besi.

3. Rempah Gulai Nasi Minyak - 6-8 tbsp. This, was given by my inlaws. Cap Dayang Suri. I don't know where to get it here. I always got my supply back from Terengganu.

4. Susu pekat manis - 1/2 of small can

5. Susu cair - 1/2 - 3/4 of small can

6. Bawang besar - blend

7. Bawang merah - blend

6 & 7 should come to about 6-8 tbsp

8. Sos tomato - 6-8 tbsp

9. Cili boh - 4-6 tbsp

10. Bawang putih - 2 ulas, hiris

11. Bawang meah - 2 biji, hiris

12. Daun pandan - 2 helai

13. Minyak sapi - 2-3 tbsp MIL advises us to always use BBQ brand

14. Kulit kayu manis, bunga lawang, bunga cengkih, pelaga

Cara-cara

- Mix item 1-9 and leave to marinate for 1-2 hours.

- Panaskan minyak sapi.

- Tumis item item 14 hingga naik bau diikuti dengan item 10 - 12.

- Masukkan bahan yang telah diperap.

- Biarkan hingga menggelegak sedikit dan air agak kering.

- Tambah air dan garam dan biarkan mendidih hingga masak. (anggaran masa 45-1.5 jam, baru elok empuk)

This is the rempah btw. It comes in plastic-packaging. I transfered the content into a glass jar and cut off its label and pasted it here. Senang nak refer what else can be done with it!
