MISSION CKT ACCOMPLISHED: CHAR KWAY TEOW


The more I get comfortable in the kitchen, the more I am eager to cook my favourite food. Char Kway Teow is one of my favourite food. Simple and delicious.

Here's the recipe

CHAR KOAY TEOW 
(2 servings)

Ingredients
1 pack of Kway Teow (450g)
4 pcs of prawns
1 piece of fish cake (sliced)
A few stalks of chives (kuchai)
A cup of bean sprouts (tauge)
2 eggs
2 cloves of garlic (chopped)
2 tbsp cili boh

Stir-fry sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp sweet dark soy sauce
1 tsp sugar

Some oil for frying

Method
1. Fry garlic and cili boh until fragrant
2. Add in prawns and fish cake
3. Add in the eggs and scramble them
4. Add in koay teow
5. Add the stir-fry sauce and stir until well combined
6. Toss in the chives and bean sprouts
7. Remove from heat and serve!
 
Tips:

1) Store your kway teow at room temperature. Avoid putting it in the refrigerator because the strands will stick together if you do.

2) To get the "wok hei" or smokey taste, allow the kway teow sits in the pan for a couple of minutes for it to char a little before continuing to stir fry. Do this a few times to suit the level of "charrness" you like.

AIR-FRYER: KEROPOK LEKOR

How to fry Keropok Lekor using an Air Fryer: 1) Brush some oil evenly onto the keropok. You can use any cooking oil. I use coconut cooking oil. You can do without the oil, but your keropok will turn out a bit dry and dull-looking. If you apply some oil, it will help seal in the moisture and gives that "deep-fry" appearance to the keropok.  2) Air-fry at 180 deg C for 10 mins, check if cooked and increase the cooking time as needed. 3) Enjoy! Cara memasak Keropok Lekor dengan Air-Fryer 1) Sapukan sedikit minyak masak pada permukaan keropok lekor. Saya menggunakan minyak kelapa. Sebenarnya, kamu juga boleh memasak keropok lekor ini tanpa minyak tetapi hasilnya keropok akan menjadi lebih kering dan kelihatan kurang menarik. Lapisan minyak akan menjadikan keropok lebih lembut dan kelihatan seperti digoreng.  2) Setting: Air-fry pada 180 darjah C selama 10 minit. Tengok sama ada keropok dah masak. Tambah masa memasak jika perlu. 3) Jom makan!

I enjoy the simplicity of a Caesar salad - a green salad of romaine lettuce and croutons dressed white garlicky dressing. Today, I attempted to bake some croutons using my airfryer.
