5 Star Steamed Pumpkin Mixed Rice 五星级金瓜蒸饭

I've once eaten this dish about 3 years ago but what the restaurant used was in all white rice. I can't really remember what are the ingredients they used but I think I still recognize the taste. Can't go back to taste testing anymore caused the restaurant already closed down 2 years ago. Whateverso, I will give it a go! I really enjoy using mixed rice on some special dish and of course, not going to miss out this one as well. And here's what I did.

I bought this pumpkin a couple days ago and was planning to prepare this any of this day. Finally, I get it cut and now its ready to go for steaming. Make sure you use a very sharp & good knife to make the cut on top the pumpkin. The hole shouldn't be not too big nor too small. Then dig out the seeds & all the unnecessary items.

*1 pumpkin (around 1.8kg)
Ingredients :
3/4 cup glutinous rice
1/2 cup white rice
3 shiitake dried mushroom, soaked & diced
5 dried oyster, soaked & cut small
handful of dried shrimps, soaked to soften then drained
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 shallots, sliced

Seasoning :
1/3 tspn salt
1/2 tspn vegetable granules
2/3 TB light soy sauce
pepper to taste
1 tspn sesame oil
Method :
(1) put together glutinous rice & rice and soak for an hour then drained.
(2) place them to a baking tray with water just about to cover the rice (below the rice) then steamed for 20 minutes over high heat. (the rice might get too soft after steamed if too much water)
(3) once the rice is done, leave to cool.
(4) now, preheat a wok or frying pan with 2 TB of cooking oil then stir in dried shrimps, garlic & shallots and saute till fragrant or till nicely brown.
(5) next, add in dried oyster & mushroom and continue stirring, on the other hand add in a little bit of sesame oil.
(6) now, stir in mixed rice and cook over medium heat, add in the remain seasoning and continue stirring till everything well mixed.
(7) off the heat, once its done then transfer the rice to the ready pumpkin till full.
(8) cover the pumpkin then nicely wrapped & sealed with cling wrap.
(9) finally, steamed pumpkin for 35 minutes and then ready to serve hot.

Just how could I resist such good looking rice. Its steamy hot & soft & tasty delicious. The additional of the freshly cooked pumpkin is a bonus. What I love about the rice is the clean taste of it, not too much additional flavouring or seasoning added in. Hope you guys will love it too.

Keropok Lekor Terengganu 登嘉楼特色炸鱼饼

I can't believe it myself that I'm actually making keropok lekor !!! Gosh, never in my life I would imagine myself making this, Terengganu fish cracker ! Its hubby favourite. I actually wanted to buy some of these during my last visit to Terengganu but hubby said NO ! However, I knew I'm going to give this a shot when I reached home and this is it. I have fulfilled it. Keropok lekor is the specialty of the east and it is normally made with small fishes or leftover fishes from the market place. Unlike the common fish cracker which is thin and crispy, keropok leko r is slightly thicker and fishy flavoured. And I have chosen to use ikan kembung (scomber or bloating fish ) for the test run, cause its cheap and meaty compare to other small fishes. Ingredients : 1 kg ikan kembung or bloating fish 1/2 cup water 1 tspn vegetable granules 2 tspn salt 1 tspn pepper 200-250gm tapioca starch Meth...
