Hi Lovelies!
How have you been? My mother in law is in town (I think I mentioned that a couple of weeks ago, not sure, am forgetful π) and she's been cooking and baking for my boys. So, I gained weight. My face is so round, my tummy is so huge. Yep. I used my boys as the excuse, when am the one who's been eating her foods π π π π
Another side effect of her visiting, is that I haven't edit any clips I made, nor update you with new goodies. Yep. I am good at blaming others for my benefits π€£π€£π€£π€£
Like this following dish. One of my favorites ever. I have been wanting to share, but only now I have the chance to π
1 kg lamb (because this is Canada style π)
2 Indonesian bay leaves (daun salam)
Enough water to cover the lamb
Spice Paste
15 kafir lime leaves
2 lemongrass
4-6 garlic
1 medium size onion
A generous pinch of turmeric powder, about 1/4 tsp
Ground cumin to taste (start with 1/2 heaping tsp, I love stronger taste of cumin for this dish)
2-3 tbsp peanut oil (yep got slipped of the tongue, peanut oil becomes peanut sauce in the vlog π€£)
2-3 tbsp water
1 can coconut milk
6 green Thai chilies
10 red Thai chilies
1/2-1 cabbage
5 green onion
2 tomatoes
Chicken bouillon powder, to taste
1-2 tbsp sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) - optional
Cook the lamb (or goat - for authentic Indonesian style) in enough water with the bay leaves. Slice into bite-sized.
In a food processor, turn into fine paste, garlic, onion, turmeric, cumin, with peanut oil and water.
Bruise the lemongrass, slice the tomatoes, green onions, and cabbage
Dump paste onto nonstick pan, saute with lemongrass and kafir lime leaves
Stir in cooked lamb
Pour in coconut milk and water, season
Stir in cabbage, chilies, tomatoes and green onion
Cook until cabbage somewhat tender
Serve with rice
Looks really good! I'm once more trying to remember if I've had this before, it looks familiar but if I have it was probably slightly different as I'm pretty sure there's regional variations in a lot of dishes especially around Malaysia where everything seems to be deliciously crazy fusions XD
J has the same complaint about gaining weight whenever we go to visit my parents XD
Wish i can always be glutony without gaining weight π
