Daging Masak Kicap

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

Yesterday I had a few doubts... which makes me restless and ended up feeling tired...

Firstly, I kept thinking whether to bake the Mama Carries cookies, ordered by a friend of mine, or not. Finally made up my mind, not to do it as I am not in the mood actually. Ended up.... mopping the whole house instead...

Secondly, had to decide whether to bake another batch of 100 pieces tart shells yesterday night or this morning. For the very first time, after a good few thousands of tart shells that I've made before, yesterday I burnt TWO trays of tart shells! Huwaaaaaaa... I must have done something really bad to be 'paid cash' by Allah. Please Allah forgive me for my negligence.... Allah hu Akbar! After dinner, I sat down preparing another set of 100 pieces. It's time consuming, but I don't have a choice because Kak Long'g going to collect them this morning. Alhamdulillah, this time, they came out nice. I just hope that Kak Long thinks the same.

Bahan-bahanya :
400 gram daging boneless ( dihiris nipis-nipis atau di potong dadu kecil)
2 biji kentang sederhana besar ~ dikupas, dihiris sederhana tebal, digoreng dan ketepikan (*Mama tambah)
3 sudu besar kicap manis
1 sudu besar kicap pekat
1/2 biji bawang besar
2 inci halia
1 biji bawang putih
2 sudu besar lada kisar ( ni kalau nak ganti dengan hirisan cili padi pun boleh)
1 batang kayu manis
2 kuntum bunga lawang
1/2 cawan air
sedikit minyak untuk menumis
1/2 biji bawang besar ( dihiris kasar)

Caranya
1. Mula-mula blender bawang besar, bawang putih dah halia hingga hancur, ( kalau nak hiris nipis pun boleh) panaskan minyak dan tumis kayu manis dan bunga lawang, kemudian curah bahan kisar tadi dan lada kisar, tumis hingga naik bau dan agak garing.

2. Kemudian masukkan kicap manis dan kicap pekat, selepas itu masukka daging dan 1/2 cawan air, pastikan daging tenggelam, masak daging hingga empuk dan kuah kicap tadi menjadi pekat, sesuaikan rasa, masukkan garam dan sudu kecil gula, jika daging belum empuk boleh tambah air, akhir sekali masukkan bawang besar yang dihiris kasar dan kacau hingga bawang agak layu, angkat dan hidangkan. Selamat Mencuba.

( kalau nak rebus daging sampai empuk pun boleh, bila masak tu boleh kurangkan kuantiti airnya)

Have a nice day!
