Mee Seriani

INTRODUCTION

This dish is rather dry. Personally, I just give it one thumb up. It is not a dish to die for but, perhaps, to serve your guests who come without appointment. It is rather fast to cook it.

INGREDIENTS

1kg of yellow noodles
3/4 bowl of prawn (peel off the skin and cut each one into three)
3/4 bowl of cuttlefish (clean and cut into bite size. Lightly
3 scoops of chilli boh
one thumb sized belacan
Sawi
Salt

SERVING SUGGESTION

You should serve fish crackers and soup as the dish is rather dry. Cold drinks would be nice too. 

SAUCE TIGA RASA

INTRODUCTION 

I got this recipe from the internet. Like many others, I made some modification and, to my liking, my second son likes it a lot. In fact, I believe that all my sons love it as they do not usually eat fish but, due to the sauce, each one of them was wiling to eat a whole piece of fish on his own. 

The sauce can be eaten with fried fish or even chicken. Me, personally, I prefer fried fish. 

INGREDIENTS

The Fish

Preferably

tenggiri (mackrel)

ikan merah   (red snapper) 

ikan bawal (pompfret) 

ikan kurau (threadfin fish)

1. coat the fish with tumeric powder and salt. 

(note: use just enough tumeric powder and salt.)

2. Fry the fish

The Sauce

3 cloves of garlic - mince them

4 small onions     - mince them

3 tablespoons of chilli paste/ chilli boh

1. heat up the pot. 

2. put in 5 tablespoons of oil. (I prefer Corotina)

3. put in the garlic and onions

4. (once 3 seem to have lost their original feature) add in the chilli paste / boh

5. stir until the chilli starts to curdle

1 inch of ginger   - cut them into thin sticks

1 bunga kantan   - slice thinly

1 lemongrass      - bruise it

2 big onions        - slice them thinly

6 chili padi           - take out the seeds and slice them thinly

1 red chili            - take out the seeds and slice them thinly

1 cup of water

3 tablespoons of tomato sauce

4 tablespoons of chilli sauce

1 tablespoon of oyster sauce

1 tablespoon of fish sauce

salt and sugar to taste

6. add in all the above ingredients into the mixture

7. leave until it boils. 

8. stir once in a while. 

SERVING SUGGESTION 

You should eat this with hot rice. Nothing is nice if it is not hot but this does not mean that it should be piping hot. 

You could also serve vegetable cooked in the simplest manner together with Satar or Otak-otak. 

BUBUR LAMBUK MAK

INTRODUCTION 

There seem to be many versions of Bubur Lambuk. I had never been a fan of one until I ate my late mother-in-law's. Hers is simple but nice. My mother's seems to be a bit too spicy. 

INGREDIENTS

Ikan kembung (grill and then pound it)

Porridge (buat bubur nasi)

Prawn

Cuttlefish

(the following to be pounded)

onion

garlic

ginger

black pepper

(sayurnya)

Paku pakis merah

Daun kesum

Daun kunyit

Salt

SERVING SUGGESTION

It could be eaten just on its own but, then, it might not be seen as too basic. You could also serve fish crackers (keropok) together with it.
