Banana Milkshake

I think I'd never posted any beverages recipe, well mostly because I rarely focus much on beverages sebab biasanya minum air masak or air yang biasa-biasa je. So this is gonna be the first.

Ingredients:

2 bananas

1 cup of milk

1 cup of plain water

4 spoonfuls of sugar

Methods:

1. Senang je, just blend everything together so it's nice and smooth looking. Chill it before serving. Yep, that is all to it :)

*This recipe makes 2 - 3 glasses of milkshake - trust me, it's extremely filling and full of flavour.

Bihun Kungfu

Ooooppsss.. jangan salah faham.. kita bukannya nak berkungfu kat dapur sebab nak masak bihun ni ye! Ha-ha. Actually I pun taktau mana datangnya nama 'bihun kungfu' and what is so kungfu-ish about it.. What I know is, ianya senang di masak, sedap dan yang penting sekali, sihat, seimbang dan berkhasiat sebab 1) direbus dan 2) banyak sayur-sayuran!

Bahan-bahan:
500gm bihun (or ikut suka hati)
2 biji telur (dipukul)
3 cawan air
2 ulas bawang putih (diketuk)
150gm isi ayam dicincang
Bebola ikan (ikut suka hati nak taruk berapa banyak; kalau tak nak masukkan pun takpe)
Sawi
Lobak merah (hiris nipis)
Tomato (belah empat)
Jagung muda (kalau ada)
4 - 5 biji cili padi (ikut kepedasan)
Sedikit tepung jagung dibancuh dengan air sejuk (untuk memekatkan kuah)
1 kiub pati ayam
Secubit garam

Cara-cara:

1. Celur bihun and put aside.
2. Panaskan air dan masukkan bawang putih, ayam dan bebola ikan. Bila mendidih masukkan sayur-sayuran, cili padi, kiub pati ayam dan garam. 
3. Bila sayur lembut, masukkan air tepung jagung. Kacau.
4. Masukkan telur dan kacau rata.
5. Biar 1 - 2 minit dan tuang kuah ke atas bihun sewaktu menghidang.

*Ada 2 variasi untuk menyediakan menu ni. Untuk variasi kedua, selepas bihun dicelur, celupkan ke dalam telur yang dipukul dan gorengkan tanpa minyak. Step yang lelain (kecuali no. 4, sebab tak payah nak letak telur lagi) sama je.

*Bihun tu boleh juga digantikan dengan kueyteow/mee kalau nak.

Selamat mencuba!

1 tin of chopped tomatoes

3/4 cup of water

1/2 spoonful of mixed herbs

Salt and pepper

Still thinking about what to cook for breakfast? Try baked stuffed potatoes!

White Bread Pizza

Oh my, lamanya tak upload blog masakan! Maklum je la bila kat Sabah, I kan 'bujang'.. memang tak masak.. makan luar je. Bila balik Semenanjung baru la rajin nak ke dapur hehe.. But since dah balik Semenanjung for good, mungkin blog ni akan lebih active (kot). Jom masak!

Ok, hari ni nak ajar buat pizza cara yang paling mudah!

Remember the loaf of bread lying in your fridge? Well, other than toasting or making french toast out of it, why don't use it as base for your favourite pizza toppings? Kurang-kurang tak payah nak buat base bagai.. senang kan? After all, pizza dough tu kira roti gak kan..

WHITE BREAD PIZZA

Ingredients

White bread.. ikutlah nak berapa banyak

Pasta sauce (if takde, guna tomato sauce pun boleh)

Cheese (mozzarella/cheddar) - I guna cheddar btw (nak ngabiskan stok dalam fridge hehe)

Toppings:

(Ikut suka hati - I buat 2 jenis here)

Chicken breast meat + capsicum + mixed veggie

Sausages + raw onion rings

*boleh gak if nak letak tuna/crabstick/pineapple/thousand island (ala-ala island supreme gitu)

Methods:

1. Dice/slice the chicken breast meat, sausages and capsicum. Put aside.
2. Sapukan roti dengan pasta sauce, then put the chicken breast meat, capsicum and mixed veggie or sausages and onions. Top that with cheese. 
3. Grill or bake them for 8-10 minutes. Siap!!

Flexible, senang, mudah, dan yang penting sekali sedappp! It also helps to habiskan roti, pasta sauce, cheese and daging bagai.. lebih baik dari di buang begitu sahaja! Jangan lupa cuba ya.. sesuai di buat breakfast ni!
