...which really is a malay cold dish!!! its a combination of salad and meat. its beef and cucumber! well thats how Chik made it. you can of course use chicken, fish is good too..now if you use fish, it is probably somewhat similar to a sarawak dish. you can eat this on its own or with rice.
youll need:
1. beef - you can start with half a kilo
2. coconut milk - thick milk preferably
3. cucumber - 2 pcs
4. onion - 2 pcs
5. bird's eye chilli - about 11 - 21, if you like it hot, that is.. OR you can use black pepper corn that you should pound yourself, for the fresh taste and aroma
6. shallots - about 11 - 21 pcs
7. garlic - just dont go overboard with it, 1 - 3 cloves will do
how to:
1. boil beef + salt on slow fire for the stock. you can either slice thinly, or pound it and tear it to your desire
2. slice cucumber thinly
3. slice onions thinly
4. shalllots, garlic and bird's eye chillies pound or blend them (if youre using prawn, add a little dried prawn in this mix, or dried anchovies if you use fish)
5. combine all the above in a mixing bowl and pour coconut milk and some of the beef stock, for taste.
6. keep refrigerated
my grandmother inlaw made something similar to this, its lovely too. only thing is that her method is very much like cooking masak lemak cili api because hers is cooked. whatever it is you should really give this a try..i will make this and will upload a picture while i let your imagination run wild.. ;-) :P
ALFATIHAH untuk Chik, Ayah, Along & Bapak n Uchi
