Kuah Air Asam

There's a tweak in the recipe for I don't have the "Asam Jawa" in stock. Mind you I’m currently in Ireland, there’s no way I can buy it from the supermarket like Tesco and hard to get it from Asian shop especially during such time of The pandemic - Covid-19.

And in my defence, I was very certain that I saw some "Asam Jawa" in Kak Ngah's pile of stock. Unfortunately, while I'm already in the midst of making this sauce, I couldn't locate it. Just not my luck, I know.

Hence the tweaking and I'm glad for my invention (not so much)  Kuah Air Asam - Limau.

What you'll need

A)
4 tomatoes
Plenty of chilli 
4 cloves of garlic
6 tablespoon of lamb stock 
Salt to taste
Belacan (Shrimp Paste) - 2 cm
*blend them.

B)
1 tomato - thinly sliced 
1 chilli - thinly sliced
3 lime - I prefer to use fresh lime juice.

Mixed A & B.

Note: You are free to adjust this accordingly based on your preference.

Happy cooking.

Amy

What you'll need Mince Lamb - 700 grams 1 Onion - Chop it 4 Carrots - grated Capsicum (Red) - chop it. 2 Tomatoes - Chop it 3 Stalks of Spring Onion Note: Make it as tiny as possible. How you do it, it’s up to your creativity. :) Spices  (1 teaspoon each) Garam Masala Corriander Powder Chili Powder 2 Table Spoon of flour Salt to taste How To Mix everything together. I leave this mixture overnight. It tasted better. Most probably because the longer you leave it, the seasoned it'll be. So if you have a skewer, go ahead and grab it. Else just shape it in whichever shape that you'd love. Some will go for the ball shape. the other will do the cylinder shape. Long or short? Your call. Rule of thumb; regardless if you're using the grill of the pan don't turn it until they are well sealed. You'll end up transferring the meat to the grill. Patience is the key. Now, Happy cooking. xx Amy H

Those who know me know that cooking is my escape from the real world. It brings such satisfaction when my loved ones enjoyed the food. I was blessed with the opportunity to learn how to cook from my mother. She’s a great cook really. So, many years ago I made some videos for my sister who happen to live continents apart from us. She still is. Having picky eater baby, she struggled with this department of cooking. I remember we cook together over Skype for Eid. That has become our tradition. Then I decided rather than giving her the recipe, I shall try to create a video instead. It’ll be handy as she’s 7 / 8 hours behind us. She doesn’t have to wait for me whenever she wanted to ask for any recipe. She could just watch and listen to the video. I made few videos then uploaded it on youtube. The best place to keep them videos. Not sure what happened in between but life happens definitely; I stop making video and I remember deleted some of them. But I recall peeking

Ingredients Green layer (Bottom) 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of rice flour 4 cups of water * few drops of food colouring in green or if you have pandan leaves, you can blend it with water, sieve and use it. White Layer (Top) 1 cup of Coconut Milk 2 and a half cups of water 6 tablespoons of rice flour 1 teaspoon of salt Jar or any container. How to:- Prep the green layer first for this will be at the bottom. Mix the green layer ingredients together. Make sure there's no lump Sieve - guess what, if you don't skip this step, the percentage of having lump is to non-existance. Trust me, for I learned my lesson from the hands-on experience. lol Now, this is where the magic begins. No fancy pot, just use whatever that you have, place it on the cooker, electric or gas. The keyword is "Stir" therefore make no mistake. Whatever happens whilst making this "kuih" you must ensure you keep on stirring it. You can start with maximum heat, as i
