Asam Pedas - Nogori style

 cooking the asam pedas


As you would like have seen in HERE and HERE. One of the dish that I actually really like is Asam Pedas Daging.


Last few years, I thought it was also very difficult to find. Still is. If you go to standard kedai nasi campur, chances are you would not find it on the array of offering.




Thankfully though these days there are more and more of those ' specialised' menu restaurants that has made its foray. 

After the failed tries, I try again with a receipe given by my friend, its actually her late dad's asam pedas paste. It was good, it was successful. The only bummer side to that is I dont cook often enough and paste needs to be made in large batch.

So the other day we made a cooking date - me and my cousin. It was successful and using the same recipe, i was able to cook a decent asam pedas on my own too.


So here goes

1 kg meat

bawang kecil (20)

Bawang besar (2)

halia

galanghal

Serai x 3 (ketuk2)

daun limau purut

cili kering

asam jawa

potato

salt

minyak

Black pepper


Blend A:

20 bawang kecil

2 bawang besar

2 inch halia

1 inch galanghal


Blend B:

cili kering x 20 (pedas) - not so hancur

Alternatively can use cili boh?


Method:

Panaskan minyak dalam 3 sudu besar (minyak nak banyak)

tumis Blend A (bwang2) with slow fire

Dah caramelised bawang then add cili blend, cook with slow fire

put in asam jawa satu sudu besar (add half first)

black pepper sikit

Serai

after dah naik minyak, put in the daging, and then air

then potato

and then daun limau purut
