#2 Sambal Tempe-Corned Beef

    Ok, here is the deal. My family loves corned beef. I grew up eating Ox&Palm corned beef and to tell you the truth, it's HEAVEN!! :D one of my ma's famous dish is Sambal Tempe and Corned Beef. She is a great cook and honestly, this simple dish will have all of our attention whenever she cooks it! :D 

Here we go and once again, no measuring from me and i've added few ingredients (*) just because i have to add them in. :)

3. Garlic (*)  

4. Chilli Padi 

5. Lime Leaves 

6. Lemongrass (*)

7. Curry Leaves (*)

Steps

1. Cut the tempe into small cubes. 

2. Crushed the garlic and chop it small, chop the lemongrass, lime leaves, and chilli. 

3. deep fry the tempe with few of curry leaves, take it out when it changes color. 

4. pour the remaining oil in the oil container or bowl, and use about 1tbs of that oil again for the rest of the cooking.

#1 InTerNet (Indomie Telur Kornet) aka Cooking 101

After a long day or in the middle of rainy day, a simple heart warming bowl of noodle would lighten my mood. :)

I simply love noodle and Indomie is my favourite. It's kinda tricky when I moved to Malaysia and can't find the real Indomie here... Supermi on the other hand, have the Indomie taste here. :)

So yea, here's the first recipe here. It's VERY easy n sorry, i don't really use measuring.. :)

Ingredients: 
1. Instant Noodle
2. Egg
3. Corned Beef *if u can get Ox&Palm, it will be the best option. but normal will do*
4. Chilli Padi (if u want that extra spicy kick)
5. approximately 2 cups of water

Steps:
1. Boil the water in the pan and as soon as it boils, put the noodle and corned beef.

2. Put the egg in a small bowl before putting it into the pan. You can beat it, you can just keep it like that, it depends on your own preferences. :) Again, depends on your own preferences, if you want to have properly cooked egg, put it in straight away with the noodle or else, wait for about 1.5 minutes before putting it in.

3. put all the seasoning separately in a bowl that you are going to use.

4. After 2.5 minutes, your noodles should be ready. it will have the pale yellowish color and it will somehow glow. :) i don't like my noodle to be too soft, i like it just nice. springy. :)

5. Pour the noodle and beef and egg into the bowl and make sure u stir it well and put the chilli padi in. u can crush the chilli padi in the soup to add that kicking hot flavour. :)

6. you can garnish it with everything, actually. fried shallots, extra sambal, few drops of lime juice, as long as you like it. :)

PS:
- I believe by putting the seasoning in the bowl, you won't lose all the flavour.
- If you can only cook with microwaves, you can put the noodle with the normal temperature waters and cook it for 5 minutes OR boil the water and cook it for 3 minutes. :)

have fun trying it and let me know if you tried it. :)

Hello

Gaby here. :) 

This will be my first attempt to have a blog that will be fully filled with food. :) 

Watched Julie and Julia the other time and honestly, it inspires me to cook more. I've always love to cook and oh how i wish one day i'll have my own huge kitchen filled with hundreds of spices and all the ingredients that i need to cook everything that i wish to cook on that day. :) 

Right now I am still studying and cook base on my mood. Love to take pics of it and share it in FB but i'm thinking its about time to try and pick it up seriously. 

Cooking is fun and I find it interesting. It's simply amazing when you put two different ingredients together and voila! it turned out to be something yummy.. :) 

well, it won't be all fancy cooking here cuz usually i'll cook simple stuff and edible at the same time. for uni students, its a really good deal. you don't spend lots of time to cook, you eat, and yes, you can go back to your assignment right away. :) 

So yea, enjoy it... :) 

love,
