Nasi Daging

"mem, i nak masak macam you buat hari tu...cari dalam blog tak ada resepi..." that's my schoolmate Jun texting about nasi daging yang makcik pernah buat masa dia orang datang gather gather kat rumah few years back.


Kerap juga buat tapi entah pasai apa, tiap kali masak, tak sempat nak ambik gambar dalam keadaan 'bersedia' ;lawa2.

Yang dapat selalunya yang dah dalam pinggan....tidak terkecuali, kali ni jugak.



Juadah simple and sedap. No fuss.

Nasi Daging:

1 kg daging di rebus bersama 1 sudu besar cuka serta sedikit gula batu ( kalau x ada gula batu,  gula biasa.pun ok, nak rebus gitu saja pun boleh, asal daging empuk).

1 kg beras basmathi, basuh dan toskan (1kg beras anggaran 3 tin evaporated milk)  **

4 1/2 tin air rebusan daging (kalau tak cukup tambah air biasa)

4  sudu besar rempah sup *
2 sudu besar rempah kurma *
2 sudu kecil garam masala *

6 ulas bawang putih; hiris halus
2 bawang besar;  hiris nipis
1 " halia; mayang halus
3 kayu manis
3 bunga lawang

Sedikit daun sup/daun bawang potong agak2 1 "

Sedikit minyak untuk menumis ( boleh tambah sedikit minyak.sapi)

- Panaskan minyak & masukkan kayu manis & bunga lawang. Kemudian masukkan bawang putih, bawang besar, halia & kacau hingga lembut & naik bau.

- Masukkan rempah (*), kacau sekejap dan masukkan air daging, cukupkan rasa garamnya.

- Bila dah mendidih, masukkan beras serta daun sup/bawang.

- Masak macam masak nasi biasa.

- Hidang bersama kerabu timun & hirisan daging cicah air asam

Note:

- (**)  ikut sukatan sendiri, kalau guna, cawan utk sukat beras, guna cawan yang sama utk sukat air)
- Guna beras biasa pun boleh
- Boleh juga makan dengan dalca atau lauk lauk lain kalau suka.
- Makcik masak dalam rice cooker; letak beras dlm rice cooker. Tumis bahan2 dalam periuk lain, bila mendidih, tuangkan dalam rice cooker dan tekan 'cook' seperti biasa.

Air Asam:

Sambal belacan
2 biji tomato - hiris
2 bawang besar- potong dua & hiris nipis
sedikit, tomato sauce

Gaul semua bahan & cukupkan rasanya-tambahkan sikit air asam jika perlu.



Kerabu timun:

2 biji timun, buang kulit, 'cakar dgn garpu', hiris nipis
1 biji bawang besar, hiris nipis
Sedikit hirisan cili merah & hijau sekadar nak bagi warna.

Gaulkan bahan atas dengan gula, garam serta sedikit cuka - sesedap rasa.

Kita tengok sudah......

Chicken Rice ala Claypot (recipe here)

Lupa pulak nak jamu air & dessert.......

Simply sedap

Claypot Chicken Rice.

This is an 'ala-claypot' chicken rice as i don't have claypot to put my rice into. 

A simple procedure where you have it all; rice and chicken in one cooking, highly recommended to busy women out there. 

Ingredients:

2 cups rice, washed & drained

10 pcs dried shitake mushroom (cleaned & soaked for 1 hr)

1 chicken, cleaned, cut to 20 pcs

3 1/2 cup liquid (ie water + liquid from marinated chicken)

Sesame oil (optional)

Marinade:

2-3 Tbsp dark soy sauce (caramel type)

3 Tbsp light soy sauce (more if you wish)

5 garlic, crushed

1 onion, sliced

1" ginger, crushed

1 chicken stock cube

Salt, only if required

Method:

• Marinate chicken with the marinade. 
  
• Drain chicken and place in rice cooker. Retain the excess liquid.
  
• Squeeze excess liquid from shitake mushroom and place on chicken.
  
• Put rice onto chicken/mushroom, distributing evenly.
  
• Add 3 1/2 cup liquid(*) into rice cooker.
  
• A dash of sesame oil (if using).
  
• Cook as normal.
  

(*)Using the cup (or whatever cup used to measure rice), measure the excess marinade, top with plain water to make 3 1/2 cup liquid

Serve hot. You can garnish with either salted fish or salted egg, & spice it up with cut cili padi or cili sauce. 

I made sauce by mixing blended cili with cili sauce, salt & sugar and stirring over medium fire to thicken.

Note: 

• This is just a reference, you can adjust quantity/ingredient to your need. 
  
• 3 cups rice ideally yield 6 serving, but can differ in actual case.
