Siakap Tiga Rasa

'Tiga rasa' means the balance taste of hot (but not to hot :D), sweet and sour. I like having this dish with dori fish or mackarel. But this time around, we tried barramandi since someone in the house is craving those 'tiga rasa' like the one back home in Malaysia. Layanzzz...

Prepare Fish:

1. Coat cleaned fish with salt & tumeric powder.
2. Fully coated with corn flour.
3. Deep fry in heated oil till set.
4. Set aside while preparing the gravy.

Prepare Gravy:

1. In heated oil, fry garlic & ginger till fragrant. Throw in chilli powder and little bit water if to dry. Let it cook for a while.
2. Add in tomato sauce, fish oil, oyster sauce, sugar & salt. You have to balance the taste between mild hot, sweet & sour. Add little bit water (for gravy) and bring to the boil.
3. Add in chopped tomatoes, cucumbers and onion. Let it cook for a while. Sprinkle with chopped coriender.
4. Pour gravy on top of fried fish and serve.

Nasi Lemak Kukus

What i did basically..

• 2 cups rice, soaked. Suppose to be overnight, but because i just cant stand to wait for this nasi lemak, i only done it for half an hour.
• Prepare steamer, heat it up with enough water.
• Rinse the rice and drain the water. Put it in heat proof container.
• Knot pandan leave, throw inside, slice the fresh ginger, onion (optional), and steam it until rice become more than half cook.
• Pour in 300ml coconut milk, salt to taste. Stir.
• Again...let it be in the steamer and leave it until rice fully cook.
• Tips - you can always layer banana leave at the bottom of the container while steaming it, to get the banana leave aroma.

Sambal Sotong Kering

Simple translation, sambal = chilli, sotong = squid, kering = dried. It's basically is dried squid cooked in chilli sauce. Best to serve with plain rice or coconut rice.

What i did basically was, i cooked the chilli sauce first, then only i added in those soaked and cleaned squid. While soaking the squid, i added little bit lye water, just to make sure it is fully enlarge and soft. I know someone will ask me, where to get this lye water? :) As for us in sydney, it is available in all oriental shop.

So here is the recipe:

• Soak 150gm dried squid with water, add 1 spoon of lye water. Leave it overnight. Then clean it.
• Prepare the chilli sauce - blend 2 big onion with garlic and little bit shrimp paste. Fry it in heated oil till fragrant. Add 3 tablespoon chilli powder, add little bit of water if to dry. Let those chilli cooked thoroughly. Add half cup water, let it simmer in low heat. (It will take quite sometime to let the sauce become thick).
• When it ready, add in prepared squid. Stir. Salt & sugar to taste. I am using gula melaka in stead of sugarcane. Taste will be better and the color will be darker. Add in 1 or 2 tamarind slices.
• Tips -Do not overcooked those squid and always add tamarind slice at last, otherwise squid will become rubbery.

Cheese Swiss Roll

The idea was from this recipe. It just a normal sponge cake, with butter cream and shreded cheddar cheese. Happend that my husband requested for any cake, for his discussion with another 4 friends. Suddenly this cake came across into my mind, but a tin of cake is to much! and i was thinking swiss roll is the best size for them.

For the cake..

• 4 eggs seperated
• 70 gm castor sugar
• 50gm self raising flour
• 10gm corn flour
• esen vanilla
• 2 tsb corn oil or normal cooking oil will do..

1. Meringue white eggs with the sugar. Slowly add in egg yolk.
2. Fold in the sifted both tyoe of flour.
3. Stir in corn oil, mix well
4. Line the base of swiss roll tin, spread batter into it. Bake for 180 degree celcius for 10-12 minutes.
5. Let it cool before we assemble with the butter cream and cheddar cheese.

For butter cream, just beat 125 gm of butter with 1/4 cup of icing sugar. Add in 2 tsb of fresh milk. Beat as white/pale as you can. But this measurement of butter cream is to much for this swill roll, it is recommended to make only half of it.

Spread this butter cream in between, roll in, and spread the remaining butter cream on top of the roll. Sprinkle with shreded cheddar cheese. Kraft brand will be better!

4. Heat skillet over medium-high heat and grease with butter. Using a 1/3 measuring cup, drop the batter onto a pan, leaving room for pancakes to spread.
