Rendang Pedas Udang

Last weekend mom did Rendang Pedas Udang. I forgot to take the pictures because I was so hungry I forgot to take pictures. Bahahaha~ Nanti ehh nanti..

This is another popular Perak Dish. Makan dengan nasi panas2.. Oh enaknyaaa...

Ingredients:
Udang Besar/Galah - 1kg (dipotong misai, dicuci dengan air asam jawa)

Bahan untuk dikisar:
10 biji bawang merah
1/2 inci halia
10-15 tangkai cili kering (boleh ganti dengan 2 senduk cili giling)

Bahan2 lain:
2 keping asam keping
4 batang Serai - dihiris halus2
2 helai Daun Kunyit- dihiris halus
1 biji santan kelapa
Garam secukup rasa


Cara-Cara:

Campurkan sekali udang, bahan yg dikisar dan bahan2 lain (kecuali asam keping) di dalam kuali atas api yang sederhana. Masak sehingga kuah santan menjadi pekat.

Sebelum kering, masukkan asam keping dan gaul rata. Kalau nak basah2, tutup api awal.. kalau nk kering sket, tunggu la lama sket.. tp make sure slalu gaul2 so that tak berkerak bawah tu.

Very the easy and very the sedap. Isap2 sket tang kepala tu.. fuhhhh~

Fettucinni Aglio Olio ~ Nadeeya's style

Aglio Olio is an Italian term meaning Garlic and Oil. The original version mainly consists of nothing but Pasta, Olive Oil and Garlic with a dash of Chili Flakes. However there are other versions to the dish. Some people like to add mushroom, chicken, seafood.. etc. However way you like it. As long as the base is Olive Oil and Garlic.

This is mine. I usually use capsicum (bell peppers). But last night I used Zucchini instead.

Ingredients:
Half a packet of Fettuccine Pasta (I use San Remo's Brand)
3 table spoon of Olive Oil
5-6 cloves of garlic - minced
1 tablespoon of mixed herb (I use McCormick's)
a cup of dried mushroom (soaked in water for at least 5 minutes)
1 chicken breast - cut in cubes
1/2 of a normal sized Zucchini, cut in small cubes. (You can use Bell pepper or other vegetables if u want)
Salt & Pepper to taste.

For garnishing:
Chili Flakes
Parmesan Cheese


Method:

Boil the Fettuccine Pasta till Al-Dente. (Add about 1 teaspoon of salt to the water) Once boiled, quickly strain the pasta in a strainer and put it under running water. Set aside and add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mix it around so that the pasta doesn't stick together.

In a frying pan, heat up the olive oil and saute the garlic till it turns slightly yellow. Add in the dried mushroom (remove the water) and saute for another 2-3 minutes. and add in the mixed herbs.

Add in the chicken breast and saute until the chicken is cooked. (About 5 minutes). You can add some salt this time so that it absorbs into the chicken.

Add in the Zucchini and saute for another 2 minutes and finally add the pasta and mix thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste.

For that spicy taste, add the chili flakes and mix together with the pasta.

Serve with Parmesan Cheese on the side, because some ppl don't like cheese.



Here's mine that I cooked up for dinner last night.



* Al-Dente is a term of cooking pasta. You boil the pasta to a certain extent where it is nice enough to chew, not to mushy, not to hard. Cooked but still firm. At a proper boil, this takes between 3-5 minutes.

Picture's to the Recipe's

Ada orang yang mintak I add photos to my recipe's. Believe me, I want to put them too. But because I don't cook that often these days, I don't have pictures to take. And I don't feel I should take pictures from google as those are not from my own recipe and mine could look totally different.

So nanti bila I do manage to cook and take pictures of my cooking, I'll share them here, ok?
