:: Nasi Lemak Hijau ::

i browsed through my favourite blog to look for something nice to cook for breakfast on sunday morning, and i cam accross this and this.

i decided to give it a try, knowing that it's a RISKY one as i'm hopeless in cooking sambal. tak pe la, kasik cuba dulu. i altered the nasi's recipe to preserve the taste of nasi lemak. omitted all kayu manis dan adik beradiknya.



nasi lemak hijau
ingredients:-
2 pot beras
2 cup santan
0.5 cup santan yang diblend dengan plus minus 6 helai daun pandan
bawang merah (sliced)
bawang putih (sliced)
halia (sliced)
1 batang serai dititik
salt

method:-
1. basuh beras sehingga bersih.
2. pour everyhting in and season with salt.
3. masak guna rice cooker. jangan lupa kacau to avoid nasi mentah.

sambal sotong
ingredients:-
sotong (obviously)
bawang besar (thinly sliced)
bawang merah (tumbuk)
bawang putih (tumbuk)
cili kering yang dah diblend
1 sudu kecil asam jawa adabi
1 cawan santan cair
gula perang
garam

method:-
1. tumis bawang besar sehingga perang at sides.
2. tumis bawang merah + putih sehingga naik bau.
3. masukkan cili blend dan continue tumis sehingga terbut minyak.
4. masukkan santan + air asam. kacau sehingga masak.
5. masukkan sotong. continue kacau sehingga sotong masak.
6. season with gula perang and garam.

untuk my boys, since the sambal tuh pedas, i gorengkan ayam for them. (my boys tak suka makan telur)

serve the nasi lemak hijau with sambal sotong, ayam goreng and telur goreng.
ps ~ i totally terlupa nak beli timun or kangkung dan condiments lain. so layankan jek nasi lemak separa lengkap gizi dia. but all in all, it's worth trying when i saw my OH tambah 2 kali. it's either the nasi is damn good or he's extremely hungry. i hope it's not the latter! ;P
