Resipi Laksa Penang

This post is specially dedicated to Swahili :-)

This is my version of Laksa Penang.Recipe ni I got it from arwah my mom. Dah lama tak buat laksa coz here as I mentioned in my earlier post takde daun kelsum and bunga kantan. Without these two ingredients, the kuah will not be kaw kaw punya.

Bahan bahan

1 packet of laksa noodles
*In Riyadh you can get laksa from Msia in Panda)

1 kilo of fish (selalu orang pakai ikan kembung, i prefer to use ikan selar kuning, more tasty for me)

Daun kelsum
Bunga kantan
1 biji bwg merah
5-6 biji cili kering/cili merah (depends on how pedas you like the kuah to be)
1 inch of belacan
5-6 asam keping

For garnishing
Timun
Nenas
Telur rebus
Mint leaves
Cili api
Otak udang (if you like)

Now the cooking part

1. Rebus laksa in a big pot of water sampai lembut. Jgn terlalu lembik, nanti tak sedap.Ikut step mcm rebus spagetti.

2. Rebus ikan dgn air. I usually put a few asam keping untuk hilangkan bau ikan.

3. Once ikan dah masak, take out all the tulangs and ambik isi je.

4. Blend isi ikan.(campur sikit dgn air ikan tadi)

5. Blend half of the daun kelsum, bunga kantan,onion,cili and belacan. (B)

6. Then heat the pot, pour in the fish and the blended ingredients(B). Add some water, not too much coz nanti cair sgt. U can add water later if kuah terlalu pekat.

7. Put in asam keping, garam and a little bit sugar. (ikut cita rasa masing masing)

8. Add in remainder of daun kelsum and if you like bunga kantan too.

9. Biar sampai mendidih, kalau kuah dah rasa masam take out the asam keping coz it will make your kuah extra masam kalau biar lama.

10. SIAP!!


Usually my kuah will be thick coz i blend the daun kesum and bunga kantan. For me it's more tasty. Normally kalau kat kedai, they will just boil the daun kelsum and bunga kantan together with the kuah.

Thats it!!! Sapa sapa yg try, let me know k and kalau boleh hantar sample sekali! ha..ha...!!!!
