We have roughly another week till Raya. Arent you excited? Well, not really. I really like Ramadhan and I dont really like the way we overexaggerate on celebrating Raya. But then again, thats just me.
Ramadhan allows me to cook my own food. I really am happy to be able to plan and buy and cook my own food. Its very satisfying and healty (some of the time). Chances like this are hard to come in any other month. So thats one more thing I like about Ramadhan.
Anyway, here is one of the dishes I made. Simple, one-meal dish. Really easy too. I've been experimenting on how to make the most sedap mee goreng for years now and I think I finally settle on this (for a certain value of sedap). It is a bit lembap and is divine while hot. A squeeze of lemon juice will make a world difference too (if you like that kind of thing).
This portion will feed 2-3 people. I think..
Bahan-bahan:
1/2 peket mee kuning - basuh dan toskan
Kepingan daging/daging hancur
Taugeh - bersihkan dan buang kepala hitam tu
Sawi hijau - bersihkan dan potong
1 biji tauhu putih - cincang halus
2 ulas bwg putih - tumbuk kasar
3 cili padi (optional)
2 sudu cili kisar
2 sudu sos tiram
3 sudu kicap masin/ kicap manis (atau secukup rasa)
4 sudu minyak makan
1 cawan kecil air
1. Mula-mula, panaskan kuali. Masukkan minyak. Bila minyak dah panas, masukkan tauhu. Biar masak skit tauhu tu, nampak perang2 sikit, masukkan bawang putih dan cili padi.
2. Bila bawang putih dah semerbak, masukkan daging. Kacau sampai daging tu mengecut sikit (berubah warna), lepas tu masukkan cili kisar. Ratakan semua dan kacau dalam seminit supaya cili tu masak skit. Masukkan air.
3. Biar mendidih sekejap, masukkan sos tiram dan kicap. Kicap ni, ikut suka sebenarnya tapi jangan banyak sebab mee cepat rasa masin. Lagipun, kalau tak cukup rasa, boleh tambah kemudian. Kalau nak mee tu manis2, pakaila kicap manis. Kalau tak suka manis, boleh pakai kicap masin. Tapi, mee goreng sedap kalau pakai kicap manis (imho).
4. Masuk mee. Kacau sampai sebati dan mee agak kering. Mee akan meresap kuah tu dan bertukar jadi hitam. Rasa mee, kalau tak cukup masin, tambah kicap.
5. Tutup api. Masukkan taugeh dan kacau sebati. Hiaskan dengan daun bawang&sup dan bawang goreng.
Tadaaa... dah siap. I made this in less than 10 minit. Maknanya senang je la. Resepi ni memang tak pakai garam. Jangan letak plak. Masin kang sapa yang susah? hehe
p/s: Imho, mee sedap kalau rencahnya daging dan ada tauhu. Ayam pun ok tapi kurang skit 'kick' dia.
