Chicken Curry - Egg Salad - Veggie StirFry

Initially I was planning to make Roti Kirai to go along with the dishes - but somehow,...I became too lazy to cook anymore...So I ended up eating these with plain rice and bread...hey!...that's fine too!,..and who said that we can't succumb to laziness?......hehe..



Use this recipe for any kind of veggie stirfry..u won't go wrong..just remember never to overcook the vegg. For this, I used celery, carrots, mushrooms, capsicum, broccoli, and u can add anything u want,...just make it colourful.



The Chicken Curry:
U can use my Ayam Kariana for this recipe...mmm..thick and spicy..



For the egg salad with peanut sauce :

Hard-boiled eggs - sliced neatly with an egg-slicer
Cucumber - skinned, raked with fork and sliced thickly
Tomatoes - sliced thickly
Onions - sliced into rings
Some lettuce/daun salad

The Peanut Sauce

Sambal Belacan & Telur Asin

Spicy Shrimp Paste Dip & Salted Duck Egg.

A side condiment most dear to a typical traditional Malay meal, it somehow whets yr appetite. Telur Asin, or Telur Masin..whichever way you call it, it is still that old salted duck egg that you sought after. With so many versions of the Sambal Belacan,..choose one that suits you most.Don't worry, your taste buds will still send a message up to your brain to say :"MMmmmm.........."

Ingredients

Red chillies
Sugar
Shrimp Paste (Belacan)
Lime juice

Adjust the amount of the above to suit yr taste and pound in a pestle & mortar (batu lesung) like crazy!...hehe...I mean..till it forms a decent-looking paste. You can also blitz it in a food processor but for that kampong feeling, give it a good old thwack!..(guaranteed to burn some calories..)..Serve together with some cut cucumbers. Reason? To cool down that burning tongue,if any.

Salted eggs?..Just go n buy lah..Don't mistook it for century eggs, though!

Kampung set
