When life gives you kangkung….

When life gives you plenty of kangkung….

IMG_5335

You called your husband up and told him that tonite’s dinner will be nasi goreng with oven-baked wings and kangkung goreng belacan.

And you could basically hear him drool over the phone because that’s one of his favourite foods, hikhikhik…

(Eh kejap, apa aje food yang bukan one of his favourites ye? muahahahaha…. Winking smile).

So, I pun made nasi goreng cina (using that big chili hijau in the paste), oven baked wings (which I marinated in honey, dark soy sauce, kecap manis, garlic, sweet chilli sauce and sesame oil) and…..

Kangkung goreng belacan. I added 2 biji chili api into the paste you, hehehe. I cuma blend 1/2 bawang besar, 3 cloves garlic, a bit of halia, 2 tablespoons cili boh and cili api together.

Then goreng the paste and about 1cm belacan sampai semerbak baunya and jiran2 pun datang menjenguk (yo lah tu!). Pastu masukkan kangkung yang dah di basuh and goreng lagi sampai kangkung layu. Add garam and gula to taste.

Pastu, silalah hidangkan cantik2 macam ni, hahahaha Smile with tongue out.

Sampai Miss 8 kecur air liur tengok we all makan and asked for some kangkung goreng belacan. We told her it’s a bit pedas because of the chilli api but she still wanted to try it.

The first time she ate it, she quickly teguk air.

But then I taught her to eat the kangkung 1 leaf at a time so tak lah pedas, hehehe….

Look Mum, no more water! Smile

But then she said, “My lips are all so hot and red. Is that normal after eating chilli?

Welcome to the chilli eating world my dear daughter, heeeeee……

Messyserabut,

efa fairuz said...

comel sangat!!

Silver Fern said...

Kak LG..
i've always wondered what is it with aussie men and kangkung.. my kiwi (kiwi/aussie.. same difference) other half loves kangkung so much ever since we moved back to Malaya and insisted to have KONGKANG every time we eat out at tomyam place.. lantas i harus bikin home-made KONGKANG belacan to avoid the kemaluan meng-order kongkang belacan at the shop.. ^^

hasni said...

lama xmasuk blog kak LG
rindu ngan anak2 kak lg
makin comel!

Cat-from-Sydney said...

Aunty LG,
Ala...nyanyilah lagu lenggang kangkung masa makan tu....mesti lagi ceria. yummm.....purrr...meow!

HaniRose said...

bestnyeeee. I cannot to be able to call the husband and tell him what's for dinner/lunch =)nasib duduk apartment, kalau tak siaplah nak bercucuk tanam semua jugak hihihi

umiyumi said...

sedapnya kangkung goreng belacan.. :)

lemongrass said...

Mulan,
Maybe sbb tomyam n sambal nasi lemak tu feveret dia so tu yg dia telan aje even though pedas. Ynag lain tu maybe tak sesedap kat tekak dia, hehehe

Kak Kasih,
Lepas ni kena slalunya I masak kangkung goreng belacan ni kan sbb 3 orang yg minat dah :-).

Ana,
memang kena makan panas2 kan, baru terasa sgt2 kesedapan kangkung ni. Dengan lauk telur goreng pun dah cukup nikmat :-)

Pendragon,
I thought she would find it too hot, rupa2nya sedap dia kata, hehehe. Lepas ni, kenalah I kongsi our hot dishes dgn dia kan :-)

Ameeza,
I pun makan kangkung berangin jugak tp nasib baik tak lah sampai sakit perut cuma asik nak membuang angin atas bawah aje lah, hehehe

Umihumairah,
Yg makan pedas kat rumah ni cuma I dgn hubby aje. But semeenjak dua menjak ni, Miss 8 pun dah tersuka makan benda pedas2 :-).

KOG,
hahaha...it's a bit like when life gives you lemon...

Kak Ham,
sambal belacan Mak dia kurang power sbb Mak dia takut nak makan pedas2, hahaha...

Efa,
:-)

Silverfern,
My hubby is a Kiwi as well, maybe that's why sama mcm your hubby suka kangkung. Masa kat Msia dulu pun dia suka mintak kangkung but alhamdulillah he didnt say it kongkang, hahaha..
He pronounced it kang kong, a bit like king kong, heeee...

Hasni,
apa khabar? Makin besar anak2 I dah skrg kan :-)

Angelina,
Tak sempat nak nyanyi sbb asik nak teguk air sbb pedas, hehehe

Hani,
soon you'll have the opportunity to call him up anytime kan and masak kangkung for him everyday if he wants, hehehe.

Umi,
Bila duduk negara Mat Saleh, kangkung goreng belacan jugak yg kita cari kan, hehehe.
