Bubur Terigu by Vanessa Tay

Bubur Terigu

 

Ingredients: (serves 4)100g White Wheat (Terigu), soaked at least 2 hour (perferably to soak overnight)
1.2 Litres of Water
1 Bundle of Pandan Leaves, washed and tie into knot
Pinch of Salt
Cane Sugar to Taste

Toppings:
* Palm Sugar Syrup
Coconut Cream/Milk
To make the palm sugar syrup:-1. Bring 2 cubes(about 200g) of Palm Sugar(Gula Melaka) together with a knot of pandan leaves and 80ml of water to boil.

2. Lower the heat and simmer till the palm sugar cubes melt and syrup slight thickened.

3. Remove pan from heat and sieve the syrup into a sterilised glass jar and cool completely before storing in the fridge.

Method:-

1. Bring 1.2 litres of water to boil in a saucepan, then add in the drain white wheat and let it simmer for about 1 hour.

2. Add in the pandan leaves and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes.

3. As I prefer my burbur terigu to be thicker and less watery, I transfer it to a slow cooker and continue the simmering for another 2 hours.

4. Turn off the heat, stir in pinch of salt and ladle into serving bowl and serving with coconut cream/milk and gula maleka syrup according to personal preference.

*If follow the original recipe, the bubur terigu tends to be more watery. Hence I cooked it for a longer period using slow cooker. Also, the amount of palm sugar syrup should be more than enough. In fact, I doubled the amount of ingredients for the burbur terigu but the quantity for the palm sugar syrup remained.

Teochew Fish Porridge by Vanessa Tay

Teochew Fish Porridge

(Recipe for 2 persons)

Ingredients:

20 g dried prawns. Rinse and soak 10 minutes or longer in just enough water to cover
10 g dried squid body, quill discarded, at room temperature. With scissors, cut crosswise about 3 cm long; cut 10 g lengthwise into thin strips about 1 mm thick; rinse and soak in just enough water to cover till soft, about 20 minutes
200 g white fish fillet. Rinse and slice bite size 3-4 mm thick; mix evenly with 1 tsp light soya sauce; sprinkle with ½ tsp cornflour or tapioca starch and mix again
120 g long-grain jasmine rice
800-900 ml boiling water

1 tsp light soya sauce
1 tsp 天津冬菜 (Tianjin/Tientsin pickled cabbage)
1 tbsp fried garlic or fried shallots
1 tbsp spring onions cut 3-4 mm thick
ground white pepper to taste
Method:

Prepare dried prawns, dried squid and fish as detailed above.

Put kettle on. Wash rice till water runs clear. Add dried prawns, along with soaking liquid, and 750 ml boiling water. Bring to a boil. Stir thoroughly to prevent rice from sticking. Keep rice boiling rapidly for 10 minutes, checking and stirring from time to time to make sure rice doesn't boil over.

Top up with boiling water if necessary, depending on how thick or thin you like your porridge. Continue boiling rapidly till rice is just soft but surface is still smooth without any sign of turning mushy, another 5 minutes or so.
Original recipe add the dried squid together with the soaking water only after adding the fish and turning off the fire. However, as I prefer the squid to be cooked, I add them (the squid and the soaking water) at this stage. Season porridge with 1 tsp light soya sauce and 天津冬菜. Add fish and stir through gently. Turn off heat once porridge returns to a gentle simmer.

Quickly taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Immediately transfer porridge to serving bowls to prevent fish from overcooking. Sprinkle with spring onions, fried garlic/shallots and ground white pepper.

Serve immediately with light soya sauce or light brown taucheo (fermented soya beans) as a dip, with lime juice and/or thinly sliced bird's eye chillies added if you like, to bring out the sweetness of the fish. Fish porridge is best eaten steaming hot.

Spicy Shrimp Aglio Olio by Vanessa Tay

Spicy Shrimp Aglio Olio

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

Spicy Shrimp:

•  8 ~12 jumbo shrimps, peeled and deveined
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley (a couple of handfuls)
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
• Coarse salt, about 1 teaspoon
• 2 tablespoons (a couple of generous drizzles) extra-virgin olive oil

Others:

• 4 pieces of ham (sliced into strips)
•  fresh button mushrooms (sliced thinly)

Aglio Olio:

• 1/4 cup (4 turns around the pan in a light stream) extra-virgin olive oil
• 200g anchovies
• 4 large cloves garlic, crushed and minced
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls
• Coarse salt
• spaghetti, cooked to al dente
• Tomato and Onion Salad, as an accompaniment (I omitted)
• Crusty bread, as an accompaniment (I omitted)

Directions

Combine shrimp with next 6 ingredients and toss to coat shrimp evenly.
Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium high heat, then add half of the shrimp. Cook shrimp 3 minutes until pink and just firm. Remove shrimp to a warm platter and repeat process with remaining shrimp.
Remove the shrimp and leave aside. Fry the mushrooms and remove to leave aside. Then fry the ham for a while. Remove and leave aside.
Return pan to heat and reduce heat to medium low. Add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Add anchovies, garlic, and pepper flakes to oil. Fry till fragrant and remove the anchovies from the pan.
Toss spaghetti in the pan with parsley and the garlic oil, then season with a little coarse salt, to your taste. Add in the mushrooms and ham and gently mix them with the spaghetti.
Top servings of spaghetti with spicy shrimp and sprinkle some parsley. Serve with Tomato and Onion Salad and Crusty Bread.

Cook's Notes: Prepare the shrimp while the pasta is cooking.
Prep your garlic and parsley for aglio olio and set them, as well as drained pasta and remaining ingredients all within arm's reach of your stove top.
The aroma will be intense! Cooked anchovies have a salted-nutty (rather than fishy) taste that compliments the garlic as it sweetens and softens.
