Claypot Rice ~ Nga Po Fan~

Credit to Google

Grandma was here last Saturday till Tuesday coz there's no one at home back there. My uncle brought his family to KL to visit his children who was studying there. Claypot rice is Mum's forever favorite. Every where she went, if there's claypot, that would be her choice. So Grandma gave in and made Claypot rice for Mum and of course for us all to ravish.

Basically, it's called Claypot rice cox it's cooked in clay pot. Of course the ones cooked in clay pot is much sweeter and delicious. Nevertheless, there's no a single clay pot in the house. So we just went with what we have.

Claypot Rice
Ingredients:

• 800 g of cooked rice
• 2 tbsp. of salted fish - diced
• 1 stick of 'lup cheong' (Chinese Sausage)
• 300 g chicken - diced
• 2 tbsp. shallots
• 1 tbsp. dried shrimp
• Dark soya sauce
• Light soya ssauce
• Sugar
• Sesame oil
• MSG

Chicken

Salted fish

Shallots

Chinese sausage

 

Method:
1. Add 2 tbsp. of dark soya sauce and 1/2 tsp light soya sauce into a bowl filled with chicken meat. Mix them evenly.
2. Soak shallots, dried shrimp and Chinese sausage in water for about 10 minutes.

Time for fun fact about Chinese Sausage!

Do you know that??

There's a layer of plastic that need to be remove before cooking it!!

And by soaking it, you can see clearly that there's plastic!

 

 

3. Heat the wok, add oil and fry the shallots till golden brown.

4. Add in chicken and all the sauce in there. Continue frying.

5. Add in some more of dark soya sauce, sugar, sesame oil and 1/3 tsp of MSG to taste.

6. Add in dried shrimp, salted fish and Chinese sausage. Fry till full cooked.

7. Scoop all out and place on top of the rice.

8. Add spring onions as garnishing and serve!

 

It's super delicious. Even the aroma makes me salivating already. Too bad it smells so delicious that the hungry ghosts all go ravishing without giving me a chance to at least snap one photo. =( And I also am well aware that the measurements for the recipe is not that accurate. It's because those professional chefs don't really measure to that precise what they throw in the wok. Don't blame me. So be comfy with it and add all those ingredients to your preference.

 

Happy eating!!

 

p/s: I'm suppose to finish this entry far more earlier but got distracted by Mum. ^_^ Mum matters!

Pork Porridge

So how long is it that I haven't update anything about recipes? Gosh. Feels like it's centuries ago. Since I don't really eat anymore, I don't bother to go flicking thru recipes books and websites. What's the purpose of only seeing and cannot eat? Make me dying with hunger only. The weird obsessions that I have during my diet plan is that I tend to watch more of Masterchef Season 4 on the televisions. I find it weird cox I can watch and don't feel hungry or wanting to find food and eat. I think the latest episode aired on Astro Channel 711 is ep 24. The last 3. Luca, Natasha and the blond girl whom I can't remember her name at this moment. Jessica or Jennifer. Don't know which one.

I've promised this since the last dunno how many entries. PORRIDGE!! Usually no one eats porridge right unless you're sick or something. I would say porridge is not my kinda thing but there are times that I wanna really bad to eat porridge. the best porridge in town? Of course it's from our one and only Masterchef Popo. She made the best pork porridge in town. I love her porridge cox there's sweetness of pork in there. Thinking about the yummy-ness make me salivating here. So here's our version of Pork Porrige!!

*Note here that I'm on my diet so I've used brown rice to replace the normal ones.

Pork Porridge
Ingredients:

• I cup of brown rice
• 3 1/2 cups of water
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/3 tbsp. sugar
• 1/4 tsp MSG (optional)
• Minced pork

Method:
1. Wash the brown rice and put in a pot filled with water.
2. Bring to cooked. You know it's cooked when you can't see the seeds of grains. We took almost 50 minutes with brown rice. Popo said it's way faster with the normal rice. So it depends.
3. Pinch in desired amount of minced pork into the pot.

Just pinched in the pork, rolled a little and throw it in the boiling pot

4. Add in salt and sugar to taste. Wait for another 20 minutes for the pork to fully cooked. Add in water if it's too dry to your liking.
5. Dish and served!

(Best eaten with dash of pepper or light soya sauce on the porridge right before eating)

Yummy !!!

I guess its the same with all. It depends on whether you want it pork, chicken, beef or fish. It would be much nicer and yummy with ginger, spring onion for dressing and salted egg but this is our version here as the kids all hate ginger!!

Well, all the best !!

Bak Kut Teh

Yeah, I'm fully aware that Bak Kut Teh is pretty famous nowadays. Thanks to the smartest sex blogger, Alvin and Vivian. *note the sarcasm Too free ah? Chiak pa bo kang cho ah?

When Malaysian especially the Malays and also me la, are all in the mood to celebrate raya, the whole nation is disappointed, angry and frustrated over the fuss that this blogger made. Last year, I think, they shocked the country and also the neighboring country which is Singapore on their sex video. I was wondering how shameless can these kind of people be.

Being Asian, we're conservative but I don't think these two are Asian coz their acts do not look like one. The whole world can see the naked body of yours. I guess you're too free, living life as rich men son or daughter. No need to earn money nor afraid of what will happen to your future.

I guess uolls must be wondering what they did. Or did uolls already know?

 

Such a disgrace

 

Pork has always been a sensitive issue here. I'm not saying anything here. Chinese and Indians have been eating pork all their lives but we never make it to the limelight. Why is this so? Only one reason. Because we respect those who do not eat.

 

And why on earth would purposely snap a picture like this and spread it all over the country? I would think you just want to seek for attention. Poor rich kids because fathers and mothers are not giving enough attention at them that they have to seek attention from strangers.
 

 

 

It's true no mother in this world would want to see her own son in jail but then your son have to be responsible for what he has done.

 

Haih... Enough of those shame news. Last Saturday, Popo decided to cook Bak Kut Teh and I was there to learn something. In the world of modern technology where everything is instant, the Bak Kut Teh spice that we used are also instant. This actually save time, cost and money as compare to traditional Bak Kut Teh where lots of spices are needed.

 

Ingredients:
(A)

• 700 g pork (soft bone part)
• 2 bulb of garlic
• 1 tbsp. oyster sauce
• 2 tbsp. dark soya sauce
• 2 tbsp light soya sauce
• A dash of pepper
• 1500 mL of water
• Salt and sugar to taste

(B)

• 1 packet of instant Bak Kut Teh
• 2 tins of finger mushrooms
• Eu Char Kuew
• Tau Kee skin

Method:

 

1. Put in ingredients (A) into the pot and bring to boil with small fire for about an hour.

 

 

Spread the sauce evenly

 

2. When it's boiling, put in the 2 small packs of instant Bak Kut Teh.

 

We're using the A1 brand.

It is sold in Giant Hypermarket at RM 5.80 per pack

where there's two inside

 



See the white foam there.

You gotta remove it out using a scoop.

 

 

3. When it's almost cooked, add in finger mushroom.

 

.



 One is never enough

 

Clean and toss the water

 

4. Add salt and sugar to taste. Make sure the pork is fully cooked.

5. Dish up and serve with Eu Char Kuew and fried Tau Kee skin.

 

This is what Eu Char Kuew look like.

We dip in the Bak Kut Teh's soup.

 



Here's the fried Tau Kee skin.

Like Eu Char Kuew, we dip it in the soup

 

Here's our very own version of Bak Kut Teh.

 

We here in my hometown, usually eat it with rice. I don't know whether there's people eating it with others besides rice.

 

Note: You can use any part of the pork you like. You can have pork belly, spare ribs or pig legs. Anything you have. And some prefer to put button mushroom and tau pok. It fits everything to your liking, actually.

 

Happy experimenting! ^_^Y
