'5/26/2011} ♥Labu masak lemak
I have been craving for labu masak lemak like forever. It came cross my head with a flashback where Irwan cooked his dinner one night when we were housemates. I never had the chance to ask him how he did it but I remember him giving me a lecture about pouring the coconut milk at the right moment. 'Kalau inda, mana menjadi'. -_- Well, I might proved him wrong today as I just made my first labu masak lemak! =D
My version of this might be more suitable when you live around the UK cause the original ingredients might be a tad hard to find. I have substituted some ingredients and it still taste very close to home's.
Labu masak lemak
1 squash
1 tablespoon of 'nasi goreng ikan bilis' powder (brought from Brunei) or dried shrimps.
a handful of bean sprouts
a handful of spinach
1/3 cup of milk
1/2 cup of coconut milk
half of large onion, cube-chopped and crushed.
small chilli, salt and black pepper (as desire)
_________________________________________________________
Method:
1. Cut the squash into medium size cubes (not too small or you'll easily squash them while cooking) and remove the seeds.
2. Boil them till soften, soft enough that you can break them with the wooden spoon.
3.In another saucepan, heat up 3 tablespoons of oil in medium heat and mix in the small chilli and onions. Stir til aroma(?).
4. Add the squash and 1 1/2 cup of hot water. Add salt and black pepper for taste. Stir.
5. Add the bean sprouts and spinach. Continue on stirring till the sauce boils.
6.Lower the heat and start pouring the milk slowly. Stir and leave it with the lid on.
7. Now add the coconut milk, a little at a time and stir.
8. Leave the lid on and let it simmer with the heat.
9. Smell and taste it. If it's super good, then it's ready! =D
I know I'm not the best cooking instructor there is in this cyber world, at least I know how to cook decent dishes. >_<
