2. Make the shredded coconut into kerisik by stir-frying them continuously in a wok, until they turn golden brown in color. Transfer to the mortar and pestle and pound until fine. Set aside.
3. In a big bowl, combined the cooked rice and all the herbs, shallots, toasted coconut, and dried shrimp together. Add the salt, sugar, and peppers. Toss to combine well. Serve immediately.

Cook’s Note:

For nasi ulam, use basmati rice because the rice is drier and less sticky, fluffy, and nutty in flavor compared to Thai jasmine rice. The texture of basmati rice the best for nasi ulam. If use regular rice for this recipe, you might have to chill it in the fridge overnight to lose the moisture content in the rice.

Ermm... Main Course, Entree, Meal ? No idea.

Assalamualaikum and hey you all...

I assumed that everyone what know what actually meaning of main course. But never mind, I will tell a little bit about main course. Main course or known as entree in Canada refers to the ​largest or most ​important part of a meal in which there are different ​parts served separately. Usually, main course is rice, noodle, spaghetti, curry and more. The main course usually served with side dishes. For example rice with chicken curry, sambal belacan and fried chicken. 

Fried Chicken

Rice

Grilled Steak

Shrimp Fritters

Shrimp Fritters

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 tablespoon rice flour, optional
• 4 oz peeled baby shrimp, rinsed and pat dry
• 4 oz bean sprouts, rinsed
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/4 heaping teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• Oil - deep-frying

Method:

1. Combine all the ingredients (except the oil) in a bowl and mix well. The mixture might seem very dry at first, but eventually, it will become slightly watery.

2. Heat up a wok with enough oil for shallow-frying. As soon as the oil is fully heated, lower it to medium heat. Use a tablespoon to scoop up a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and gently drop it into the wok. Repeat the same until the oil is 80% filled with the shrimp fritters (you will have to fry in 2-3 batches depending on the size of your wok). Turn the shrimp fritters over and fry until both sides are golden brown. Dish out with a strainer, draining excess oil by laying the shrimp fritters on a dish lined with paper towels. Serve immediately with your favorite chili sauce.

Cook’s Notes:

You can trim the ends of the bean sprouts if you like.
You can add some carrot strips into the mixture. It adds color (and a mild sweet flavor) to the shrimp fritters.  Sweet potato strips makes the shrimp fritters even better.
This recipe is best when made with tiny baby shrimp called geragau (which is used to make cincaluk).

• 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

This five-layer bean dip is an American favorite than from Mexican traditional food. You can use any kind of cheese that you like, whole beans or smashed beans, salsa or simply cut tomatoes, guacamole or smashed avocados. This  recipe is quite quick, easy and healthy that requires no cooking.

Appetizer ?

Hi guys...

Today I'm going to share a few thing about appetizers. Do you know what's actually appetizer is? So let's me explain a little bit what's actually appetizer is. Actually, appetizer is a small dish of food or a drink that taken before a meal or the main course of a meal to stimulate one's appetite. According to vocabulary.com, an appetizer is a small serving of food — just a few bites — meant to be eaten before an entree, and often shared by several people. You can also call an appetizer an hors d'oeuvre. An appetizer is meant to stimulate your appetite, making you extra hungry for your meal. This is where the word comes from, literally meaning "something to whet the appetite" or "something to appetize."
