~Popia Sushi~

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,


Popia Sushi (Sushi Spring Roll). What is that?? 
Well, it's like a type of snack or rather we call as Kerepek. It's very popular in Sarawak (I never knew that^^).
Ok, this popia is not really made with sushi (japanese sushi). People in Sarawak give this name to commercialized it. Which one is better POPIA SUSHI OR POPIA RUMPAI LAUT?^^
I ate this Popia Sushi last week for the first time. It was very delicious (since i really love sushi + seaweed). It was made by K.Dayang's little sister (she is not little, she's 20, she is Adik Angkat K.Dayang<3). Her name is Nina. 


Enough with the chat. Let us checkout the recipe:


~POPIA SUSHI (SUSHI SPRING ROLL)~

Ingredients (Bahan-bahan):


Spring Roll Wrappers
Kulit Popia
Seaweed Sheets (about the same size as the wrappers)
Kepingan Rumpai Laut (lebih kurang same besar dengan kulit popia tu)
Eggs (add up some salt and seasoning) (act as a glue)
Telur (campur sket dengan garam dan perasa


Directions (Cara-cara):


1. Spread the beaten eggs over the spring roll wrapper. It act as glue to stick the two sheets.
Sapu telur diatas kulit popia. Telur ni jadi cam gam utk lekatkan 2 keping (popia dgn rumpai laut)


2.Then, put the seaweed sheet on top of the egg spring roll wrapper. Make sure the seaweed sheet stick properly with the spring roll wrapper.
Pastu, letak kepingan rumpai laut atas kulit popia yang dah disapu telur. Pastikan rumpai laut tu lekat betul2 dengan kulit popia.


3. Then, cut the spring roll wrapper that has been stick with the seaweed sheet. (based on your creativity) As for me, i cut it in 1cm x 1 cm.
Pastu, gunting kepingan tu mengikut suke korang. kalau timah, timah potong petak 1 cm x 1 cm.

4. Then, heat up some oil and fry it until it become crunchy. (do not over fry it) Don't let it turn brown.
Panas kan minyak dan goreng kepingan tu. (Jangan terlebih goreng sampai hangus tau) Jangan bagi kulit popia tu jadi warna coklat.

~Nabemono（なべもの）~

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, How's your iman today? Don't forget your Quran and Ibadah!!


OK, as i promise you from the last entry. Here is some info about Nabemono.
Nabemono（なべもの）comes from word nabe (cooking pot) and mono (things, kinds,stuffs) which is preferably called as NABE. Well, in easy term, it is a japanese steamboat dish. The difference between Japanese steamboat and other countries steamboat is the soup base. There are varieties of soup bases in Japanese Nabemono.


OK, seperti yang telah dijanjikan. Ini adalah sedikit sebanyak tentang Nabemono.   
Nabemono（なべもの）ni berasal dari perkataan nabe (periuk memasak) dan mono (benda-benda, makanan, barang-barang). Biasanya orang jepun panggil NABE je. Supaye korang paham, Nabe ni Stimbot Jepun. Beza antara stimbot Jepun dan negara-negara lain punye stimbot ialah Sup Asas yang kite gune tuk rebus makanan tu. Ade banyak sup asas dalam nabemono nie.

So, without further a due. Here is the recipe of one of the soup base of nabemono:^^


Tanpa lengah lagi, ni resipi salah satu dari sup asas nabemono die:^^


Soup base (Sup asas):


ingredients (bahan-bahan):


50 gm sesame seed (50gram biji bijan)
2 tbsp sesame oil (2 sudu besar minyak bijan)
1 tsbp fish sauce or squid sauce (1 sudu makan sos ikan atau sotong)
1 1/2 tsp salt (1 1/2 sudu kecil garam)
1 cube chicken stock (1 kiub stok ayam)


Directions (cara-cara):


1. Boil water and put in all the ingredients. (didihkan air dan masukkan semua bahan)
2. Let it boils again. (biarkan ia mendidih lagi).
3. Then, you can put any food that you like (make sure that it is suitable though). Lepas tu, boleh la masukkan makanan kesukaan korang yang bersesuaian dengan stimbot ni.
4. Then, let it boils again until all the food cooked. (biarkan ia mendidih sampai makanan masak).
5. Eat when its still hot. (makan ketika masih panas)


Tips: If you dont know what to put in the soup, here are some of the ingredients that i had used (kalau korang x tau nak letak ape, ni ade sedikit bahan-bahan yang boleh dimasukkan ):


1.Carrot (Lobak Merah)
2.Shrimp (udang)
3.Squid (sotong)
4.beansprout (taugeh)
5.shittake mushroom or oyster mushroom
6.scallion 
7.beancurd (tauhu)


another tips: There are two ways of eating and making nabemono (ade 2 care nak makan dan masak bende ni)-


1. You can cook all the food while you are eating (just like when you eat steamboat at restaurant. but you have to make sure that the soup base has been prepared earlier)
korang boleh je masak makan tu sambil korang makan (cam korang makan kat restoren stimbot. Tapi kene pastikan yang sup asas tu dah masak dulu)


2. You can cook all the food together with the soup base and present it during dinner. same like when you cook ordinary soup. Know what i mean? 
korang boleh je masak terus makanan tu dengan sup asas tu. Pastu hidang je time nak makan, macam korang wat sup biase tu. Paham kan??

p/s:

During this fasting month, i want to share quote from our beloved Prophet Muhammad.

"From Anas bin Malik, the Prophet Muhammad break the fast with some fresh dates before performing prayer (Maghrib). If there is no fresh dates, Prophet Muhammad will break the fast with dried dates. If there is no dry dates, Prophet Muhammad sips some water."

    (Abu Daud and Tirmidhi).

MENURUT Anas bin Malik r.a., Rasulullah SAW berbuka puasa dengan beberapa biji kurma yang segar sebelum menunaikan solat (Maghrib). Sekiranya tidak ada kurma yang segar, baginda akan berbuka dengan kurma kering. Jika tidak ada juga kurma kering, Baginda mengambil beberapa cedok air.

(Riwayat Abu Daud dan Tirmizi).
