Beehoon Kerang Kari

Have you tried cooking 'Beehoon Kerang Kari'?

This is a recipe one of my aunties taught me a few years back. A couple of days ago Zu mentioned that we had not cooked one for a long time. So I cooked, and it was a hit with the girls and hubby :)

My Beehoon Kerang Kari

Preparation was easy, the only thing was these tinned cockles were quite expensive. 1 small tin of Curry Cockles (Kerang Kari) cost me RM3.20, 3 tins would be RM9.60. Luckily, there were 2 packets of Beehoon, a couple of strings of long beans and Adabi Curry Powder available in the house. I need not buy them :

Any type of Kerang Kari

Prepare the Beehoon first, by boiling for 2 minutes in a pot of boiling water, then pour the beehoon onto a sieve with running tap water over it.

Off tap and put aside to drip dry.

Saute grounded -

1. 2 shallots, 3 garlics, 1/2 inch ginger, 1 lemon grass and 1/2 inch 'Lengkuas' (galangal)

2. 1/2 tablespoon belacan (shrimp paste)

3. Add in 5 tablespoons of Adabi Curry Powder (mixed and diluted with a cup of water)

4. Add another cup of water

5. When boiled, add in the 3 tins of Kerang Kari

6. Add 1 Litre of water or more depending on how much soup you want.

7. Let boil and add some long beans ( cut into 2 inches in length).

Cut Long Beans

8. Add salt and ajinomoto to taste.

To prepare a bowl of 'Beehoon Kerang Kari' scoop out some of the cooked beehoon, pour some of the prepared soup over it.

For more flavour, add a cut boiled egg and some hot 'Sambal Belacan' if you like.a

Kue tiaw kerang

Salam semua....dah 16 hari bulan syawal baru rasa nak kongsi ape menu. Puasa Ramadham dh lama habis tapi puasaenam dan ganti belum habis lagi Seblm ni bukan tak berbuka tapi masak biasa2 jek. Semalam aku buat kue tiaw kerang dengan begedil ni. First time buat begedil..tak sangka jadi...teruja I tau. Selain kue tiaw ni aku masak gak nasi dgn lauk sbb suami aku tu spesis makan nasi. Tak makan nasi sehari mau demam seminggu...hahaha. Aku pulak jenis suke makan benda lain selain nasi masa buka tp dek kerana aku dah kawen dgn dia terpaksalah akupun layan nasi gak..nak masak banyak2 mane sempat. Eh, banyak lak aku membebel. 

Inilah rupa kue tiaw kerang yang aku masak semalam. Korang nak resepi ke? Tak yahlah sb aku main campak2 je ni. Ikut sedap tangan aku je. Takde measurement langsung. Bak kata hubby aku, "ko kalau masak abang tengok main campak2 je tapi sedap je jadinye..". Itu huby aku cakap ye. Hahaha riak sekejap..(;p). Tapikan ade tragedi tak best pada kue tiaw ni. Nak citer ke? Malas lah.
