Easy Sweet Sambal with Gula Melaka

You might thought that i did not like nasi lemak anymore since you did not see me cook nasi lemak so frequently. In fact, we are still enjoying nasi lemak, but we bought it from outside more often as we found a stall selling good nasi lemak near my area..

Anyway, yesterday i just cooked nasi lemak with this easy sambal recipe from my blogger friend Makcik Manggis and using the good gula melaka (palm sugar) given by Penang bloggers .

Sweet sambal tumis, a CNY potluck

Today i would like to share this sweet sambal tumis (improve version from here) that i prepared for a recent CNY potluck party held at my house..I always prefer sambal tumis (mean slow stirring in Malay) with slightly sweet taste.

Nasi Lemak bungkus, one more please!

Nowadays it is hard to find a good and simple nasi lemak (coconut rice with sambal chili) that wrapped with banana leaf, brown paper with wax is widely use instead. We actually prefer those very basic and simple nasi lemak that comes with coconut rice and simple sambal chili and wrap with banana leaf.

Chinese style of Nasi Lemak, with Hae Bee Shung (Spicy dried shrimps sambal)

Why i give this nasi lemak with the name of Chinese style of nasi lemak? This is because this type of nasi lemak is selling by Chinese hawkers, i use to buy this nasi lemak for breakfast. They add Hae Bee Shung (Spicy dried shrimps sambal) instead the normal chili sambal.

Cuttlefish Nasi Lemak

Nasi Lemak again !! This time I cooked cuttlefish sambal, the cuttlefish was prepared by my mother . She use the dried cuttlefish and soak it overnight, unlike the cuttlefish sell outside which they add some kind of chemical to speed up soak time. And I like to add some water spinach "kangkung" to my nasi lemak...

那是你爸！！Sambal Petai Nasi Lemak

" 那是你爸 ", why i called this name, because this Sambal Petai Nasi Lemak was prepared by my husband on the Father's day, so I can not call it as "那是你妈" (direct translation from Chinese), hahaha......




-For those who do not know what is Petai, learn more from this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkia_speciosa




- My husband proposed himself to cook this sambal petai, he really just cook it only, because all those ingrediants e.g homemade chili paste, prawn, petai, onion & etc are prepared by me...I'm became the assistant to the Cook on that day... Anyway, I admit that he cooked quite well on this dish..




- My kids gave him thumbs up on this dish...


-In return, I prepared this Mango Lassy for him. I use the mango imported from India(bought from Jusco), this India mango is super sweet and very aroma.

Mango Lassy recipe:-
1 big mango
Natural Yogurt
Fresh Milk
ice
-just blend all above ingrediants

** You may add in ikan bilis, prawn, sotong & etc to the basic sambal paste.

Nasi Lemak again !!!

This time I just cook "sambal ikan bilis" . I like this simple sambal, it must be added with a lot of onion and crispy ikan bilis, also must add quite big amount of sugar to get sweet taste.

Nasi Lemak

Ever since my husband admitted hospital due to stomach problem, I didn't cook nasi lemak till now. Since he is recover now and he requested to have chicken curry, so I cook nasi lemak again.
Due to last minutes request and am too lazy to prepare all the herb ingrediants, so I use the ready made curry sauce ( this brand is not bad, easy and convenience). But my husband tasted the chicken curry, he still prefer my own made curry sauce....

Nasi Lemak Sotong

This time, I have fried squid (sotong) to accompany with the nasi lemak. I just marinated it with curry powder.

Nasi Lemak

Learned how to cook tempeh from my Malay friend during my visit to her house on Raya Open house, fry tempeh with ikan bilis, chili and ground nut. This time nasi lemak is with Tempeh, Prawn sambal and the rest.

Nasi Lemak

Nasi lemak again, this time I cooked my own chili sambal recipe, healthy way of rice (no coconut), fried luncheon meat, fried lady finger (my daughter and i favorite vege) and the rest.

The recipe of this chili sambal is very simple, just cook (malay usually say it as tumis) blend chili ( dried chili) with a lot of cooking oil, tumis at least 1 hour. Lastly add in blend onion, sugar and salt.

Nasi Lemak again !!!

Weekly, I will prepare nasi lemak for dinner at least once. Actually my nasi lemak version is healthy version, no coconut milk add into the rice, just pandan leaf, ginger slide and sea salt.

This time, I have grilled squid "sotong", sambal with onion (my daughter love the onion so much), and the rest.

Thinking to put a photo on my blog, of course, I will not put mine( pai sei), thinking to put my kids, still searching for the best photo....

Kids love homemade nasi lemak for dinner
