When I was inwards Johor Bahru doing my teacher’s preparation stint, I had Ainur, a Malay in addition to Ting, a Sarawakian every bit my housemates. People uncovering it weird to receive got a Muslim Malay daughter staying amongst two Christian Chinese girls. But hahaha, nosotros are happy together in addition to most of all, nosotros clicked!! She was rumoured to move eating the "inedible"
piece staying amongst us. But nope, she never did that. Both Ting in addition to I, are real certain that didn't happen.
We cooked at lot, in addition to I was the executive chef, amongst Ainur beingness the sous chef. Ainur loved Chinese nutrient in addition to both Ting in addition to I volition consume anything. We larn a lot from each other during this xi months of staying together. I learnt to gear upward masak lemak cili api, noodles pancake (to move featured later), in addition to of course, today's dish from my practiced Malay buddy. While Ting was a newbie inwards the kitchen, she soaked in addition to soaked upward whatever nosotros were doing inwards the kitchen, equiping herself amongst culinary noesis to move brought dorsum to Sarawak subsequently on.
Talk virtually cooking... hahaha. It reminds me of the stove cabinet. When nosotros moved in, the identify was bare, because nosotros were the commencement tenants. It was totally bare every bit good whatever is given yesteryear the developer. And beingness girls who honey to cook, nosotros had to uncovering a means to seat the gas stove. Buy a table? Use chairs? Buy a Cabinet? The final stance was crazy, purchase a cabinet to be used for xi months??
One day, piece Ainur in addition to I were passing yesteryear the dumpster of our apartment, to my surprise, I saw a stove cabinet. In acceptable condition!!!!
I chop-chop asked Ainur to halt the machine in addition to pointed to the cabinet. She chop-chop parked the machine nearby in addition to both of us tiptoed to the dumpster. And chop-chop moved the cabinet upward to our tenth flooring apartment. Luckily no ane saw us throughout the long journey. Well it feels longer cos we're beingness sneaky. When nosotros got dorsum to the car, both of us were laughing our hearts out, every bit if we're both one-half crazy. When our friends drib yesteryear our house, they were surprised to encounter us having a stove top cabinet. Haha, nosotros simply kept tranquillity virtually our "steal" from the dumpster.
And ane affair virtually staying amongst Ainur. People ever stance that she's the Chinese in addition to I'm the Malay. Cos whenever nosotros run out together shopping, salesgirls volition ever verbalise to her inwards Chinese in addition to me inwards Malay. Both of us volition move laughing in addition to laughing, in addition to that would make the salesgirl blush. Ainur also taught me virtually Minang culture, the means the inheritance goes to the girls instead of the boys, in addition to marriage ceremony preps, how does it acquire about. I learnt a lot piece staying amongst her, the practiced in addition to the bad. The bad beingness "curses" or "reared ghosts" that is prevalent amid the people she knows. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 existent oculus opener to me.
One weekend, Ainur got upward early on in addition to cooked us breakfast, Nasi Goreng Kampung, a Malay styled fried rice. Long beans, H2O convolvulus in addition to dried anchovies are ever featured inwards the Malay cooking in addition to it comes together inwards this fried rice. This is non my commencement fourth dimension eating this, thai-styled Malay restaurants receive got this inwards their menus in addition to I’ve eaten this countless times. But she made it existent good, in addition to she told me how she did it. Pulverizing the anchovies every bit well. Ah ha!!!
So, hither is a recipe, passed to me yesteryear my Malay friend to you
½ medium sized onion
1 shallot
two cloves garlic
four birds oculus chilli (the ones that I bought are non spicy, so, delight adapt this according to own’s preference)
1 heaped Tbsp dried anchovies/ikan bilis
1tbsp cooking oil
(B)
½ loving cup finely sliced long beans (not greenish beans )
1 large handful of H2O convolvulus (kangkung)
(C ) two cups packed cooked rice
two eggstwo Tbsp dried anchovies (I purpose them dry, unwashed, then that they tin give the sack move fried to a crisp)
three Tbsp oil
1 tsp salt
1. Puree everything inwards (A) except oil. If you lot can’t acquire it smooth, add together the oil, stir in addition to blend again. It’ll acquire finer.
2. Heat wok on medium heat. Put inwards crude oil in addition to kid anchovies until golden, drain in addition to dish up.
3. With remaining crude oil inwards wok, seat inwards (A) in addition to 1 tsp tabular array salt in addition to carefully kid it until it turns golden.
4. Put inwards rice in addition to plough the rut on high. Toss until it looks even, force the rice aside.
5. Crack your eggs in addition to seat it inwards the center. Spread the eggs around. Immediately force the rice onto the eggs in addition to toss the rice, making certain the eggs at the bottom are all brought upward in addition to broken up. Fry for a while.
6. Put long beans into rice in addition to toss for xv seconds, followed yesteryear H2O convolvulus. Toss in ane lawsuit again for v seconds, non too long. Dish upward in addition to serve.
Update: 4/7/2017:
Ingredients (A) Grind anchovies separately.
Method Step 3: Add inwards powdered anchovies when the aromatics receive got turned slightly golden.
Of class you lot may alteration the recipe or ingredients every bit you lot wish, every bit fried rice is fried rice. But in ane lawsuit the anchovies, long beans in addition to H2O convolvulus is missing, it no longer ressembles Nasi Goreng Kampung, but simply an ordinary fried rice. IMPO.
For me, if in that place are no prawns or cha siew inwards Yong Chow Fried Rice, should it deport the advert of Yong Chow Fried Rice?? Or no tomatoes inwards bolognese.... Or purpose Szechuan preserved vegetables inwards Teochew Steamed Fish instead of salted mustard? I can't... in addition to this is simply me.
