Cream Chicken (No cream) Star Pasta

My son Irshad now dah 14 bulan. Gigi depan dah penuh 8 batang. And saya notice sekarang irshad tak suka dah baby food yg lembik2...nak yg ada tekstur dan boleh kunyah2...hahahha...dah big boy dah anak mommy ni.

Kebetulan mommy pernah nampak vegetable pasta ni masa beli barang baby dulu...so zasss mommy terus beli 3 pack. Sebab pasta ni tak sama dengan pasta yg kat kedai2 tu... Pasta ni khas untuk baby, takde garam, gula, telur, perasa dan takde preservative. Dalam 1 pack tu ada 10 warna pasta - dari 10 jenis vege. And kandungan vege tinggi iaitu 40%. Tinggi vitamin n nutrisi.

Ni la pastanya... Brand Eatalian Expresds, ada macam2 shape, ada shell, macaroni, spiral. Mommies pilih je mana yg berkenan dan sesuai dengan tahap pemakanan sicomel. 😀.

Ok la...ni saya share resepi simple tapi sedap.


Bahan-bahan :
-----------------------
2-3 inci isi ayam bahagian dada - potong kiub
1 ulas bawang putih - ketuk
2 ulas bawang merah - hiris
1 kuntum bunga lawang
1 biji buah pelaga
1 sudu kecil minyak zaitun
2 -3 cawan air
3/4 cawan pasta eatalian express ( ikut suka shape apa, saya guna star)

Cara masak :
--------------------
1. Tumis bawang putih, bawang merah, bunga lawang dan buah pelaga dalam periuk bersama dengan olive oil. Bila dah naik bau dan wangi, masukkan air, biarkan mendidih.
2. Masukkan daging ayam, biarkan mendidih hingga daging ayam cukup masak.
3. Tutup api, keluarkan bunga lawang dan buah pelaga (buang la ye). Blend soup tadi hingga menjadi cream putih.
4. Masukkan balik dalam periuk, masukkan pasta dan masak dengan api sederhana hingga pasta lembut. Kacau sesekali ye. Tambah air jika perlu.

Nota : Tahap kelembutan pasta bergantung kepada tahap pemakanan si comel. Kalau nak lebih lembut, masak la lebih lama ye mommies... Sukatan ni boleh untuk 2 kali makan.

Selamat mencuba...😊. Irshad mmg laju je makan kalau dapat pasta 🤤

Kerabu Su'un

Bila tgh berbadan dua ni, tekak asyik meloya je. Asyik nak menu yang masam2 je... since hubby pun tak dinner kat umah, so just make something simple yg kena ngan tekak mak buyung ni je la 😀.
Cepat dan senang.


BAHAN-BAHAN:
1 cekak su'un (basuh dan rendam dalam air biasa dulu)
10 ekor Udang saiz sederhana ( kupas kulit)
1 ekor sotong saiz sederhana (potong bulat) - saya tak letak pun sebab takde 😁
1 biji tomato (potong kasar)
2 kacang panjang (potong 1 inci)
1 pokok daun ketumbar (potong kasar)

BAHAN SOS :
3 ulas bawang putih (tumbuk kasar)
4-5 tangkai cili padi (tumbuk kasar) - ikut suke, nak pedas lagi tambah lagi
2-3 biji limau nipis (ambil jus)
1 labu bwg besar saiz kecik (potong kasar)
1 sudu makan gula
3 sudu makan sos ikan



CARA-CARA:
1. Satukan bahan2 sos dalam mangkuk. kacau sebati. Rasa sos agak masam dan sedikit masin ketika ini. jika tak cukup masin/masam, boleh tambahkan sos ikan/jus limau nipis kemudian. - ketepikan.
2. Tumbuk manja tomato dan kacang supaya senang untuk sos meresap ke dalam hirisan tomato dan kacang. - ketepikan
3. Panaskan air dalam kuali/periuk. Bila air mendidih, masukkan su'un, udang dan sotong. Masak hingga su'un lembut (lebih kurang 2 minit) - jangan teralu lama nanti su'un lembik, tak sedap. Angkat su'un, udang dan sotong, toskan airnya.
4. satukan kesemua bahan ke dalam mangkuk sos, gaul sebati - tambahkan sos ikan/limau nipis jika perlu.

Sedia di makan... simple dan sedap.

tips:
1. jangan celur sotong terlalu lama nanti liat.
2. boleh juga jika nak tambahkan isi ayam ke dalam kerabu, rebus dulu isi ayam bahagian dada, ketuk dan carik2kan.
3. kena gaul ketika su'un masih panas, bila sejuk sos tak akan meresap ke dalam su'un - jadi tak sedap.

Banana Choc Chips Muffin

I make a simple and easy muffin last night, memandangkan ada 2 biji pisang yang sudah sangat ranum, daripada busuk, baik buat something. ingat nak buat cekodok je, tapi sape nak makan... buat muffin the boleh simpan.

Roasted Stuff Chicken

Roasted Chicken... I love it in any way... Roasted percik, plain roast, honey roast, black pepper roast or herb roast. This time i try to play with stuffing inside to get extra flavor. I got this idea from roast turkey for christmas... they stuff the turkey cavity and roast it.

Cold Salad - Asparagus, cherry tomato, orange and smoke salmon

This salad is good for refreshing starter. The combination of flavor quiet unique. Easy to make. You can make this salad a head of time and keep chill in fridge until needed.

Poached Egg

I don't know y today i just want to have something simple... poached egg on toast. What i like is the melt, runny egg yolk... so rich, make my tongue lick all left over on my lips...hehehe. Here is my way to make poach egg.

Potato Gratin (Side for any meats main)

This side dish goes well with any main like beef or lamb. Pretty simple to made and just need a little preparation. And u can play around with the flavor like adding a little spice, or u can add a little zest of lemon to get tangy taste, otherwise u just make it plain... but its not too plain actually... its rich, creamy and crunchy parmesan cheese on top layer.

Kerabu Cendawan Kukur dengan Hollandaise Sos

"Cendawan kukur" remind me to Chanterelle mushrooms, especially the earthy smell, the meaty taste n chewy yet bite-able texture... its so close. I had the Chanterelle mushroom b4, its taste so good if u know how to blend the earthy smell, the flavor and texture with the 5 scene of our taste bud.

Now we ( Felix and me ) want to bring this unique mushroom with a new touch, combination the asian and western taste, using our local ingredients to make the hollandaise dressing, with a little touch of our local spice and herbs, bring out all the flavor, blend it in your mouth.... awesome!!

We find out the meaty taste, the texture, the earthy smell goes very well with creamy taste with a little touch of acidity and spicy hollandaise sauce that we use as a dressing, the fresh shallot, hot chilli, tangy lime, and beautiful smell and creamy sweet of scented coconut make it all perfect in mouth. At the same time a bit contrast of texture with julienne carrot and fresh tamarind fruit (buah asam keping). It's speechless.

Nasi Dagang Kelantan

Nasi Dagang is a staple dish for the east coast, state food of Kelantan and Terengganu. The Kelantanese version however slighly different from that prepared in Terengganu, which is different type of rice we use.

Normally Nasi Dagang is served on special occassion like hari raya and other special family gathering, when all the family members are looking forward to the tantalising aroma of this dish. For my family, we are normally have this dish when all family members back to "kampung" during holiday, and we loved the nasi dagang prepared by my mom.

When steamed, the valvety glutinous grains of 'beras nasi dagang' (brown spot rice harvested from fertile soils of kelantan) puff up with a purple tinge. Cooked in a alluring combination of coconut milk, fenugreek, ginger and shallot. This dish best served with 'Gulai ikan tongkol or Gulai ayam' and acar (pickled cucumber)

Ingredients :

• 1 kg nasi dagang rice - wash and soak for at least 3 hours, max 5 hours before cooking
• 1 cup of thick santan
• 2 cup of santan (santan cair)
• 1 inch of ginger -finely slice (julienne)
• 7 shallots - finely slice
• 2 cloves of garlic - finely slice
• 1 1/2 tsp fenugreek - soak in water about 10 minutes and drain

Method :

Preheat oven at 180 C


Bring to boil water, salt, sugar and butter over medium heat.


Add in flour. Stir to combine. keep stirring until the dough will start come together. turn the heat down to low.


As you continue stirring, you should be able to easily form a ball out of the dough. Continue stirring for few more minutes.


Put the dough into a bowl and beat with mixer on low speed. let the dough cools down. when u don't see any steam and the bottom of the bowl just feels slightly warm, then proceed to the next step.


Add in eggs one at a time. mixwell before add another egg. increase the mixer speed as the dough will get thicker and harder to mix. scrape the sides of the bowl n mix well again.


the dough will be like this.


put the dough into a disposable piping bag. (any plastic bag also can as long as can stand with pressure). cut off the tip - about 1 cm.

place a parchment paper on a baking sheet. squirt small amount about 3 inchs long (logs) and the width about the finger size. space them apart. wet your finger and smooth out the logs as best as u can.

its will thicken up and boil. when it looks as though it is pulling away from the pot, turn off the heat.
