Steak

 

A good piece of steak needs only salt & pepper.

Before cooking, leave the chilled (not frozen) steak in room temperature for 30 mins. Season it with salt & freshly grounded black pepper.

I used a cast iron pan.

Heat up the pan.

Rub the sides (fats) of the steak on the pan. (Or I will slice them & render them on the pan.)

Then.... 

For a one inch thick steak, 4 mins on each side.

For a 1.5 cm thick steak, 1 min 30 sec on each side.

I like them medium.

You can also add some butter, garlic, & rosemary in the midst of cooking.

Rest for 10 mins before serving.

Pulut Hitam


Cook it with Tefal multicooker (Join me: https://www.facebook.com/groups/616391872225193/)

Ingredients:
2 cups black glutinous rice (washed)
Water
100g gula melaka (can be more if u like it sweet)
Pandan Leaves
½ tbsp corn starch

Method:
1. Add the rice into the pot. Fill water up to 6 cup (marking on pot).
2. Choose Porridge mode & select Delay start (min 4 hrs so can soak the rice).
3. After the porridge mode is completed, open lid & choose Sauce thickening mode.
4. Add the gula melaka and pandan leaves.
5. Mix corn starch with some water & add the mixture in.
6. Add the coconut milk only if u want to eat it.
This recipe is good for about 6 to 7 rice bowl.

If u prefer it more sticky, the sauce thickening time to 15mins.

.
Cook it over the stove:
1. Soak 1 cup of pulut hitam for at least 4 hrs (overnight also ok)
2. Boil it with at least 5 cups of water. Add pandan leaves (optional)
3. Boil it over medium fire for about an hour, depends on how soft/chewy u like it to be. Stir often to make sure the rice dun stick to the pot.
4. Add sugar (up to ur own sweet tooth).
5. Add coconut milk only when u wanna eat the pulut hitam.

.
Cook it with rice cooker:
Basically, I washed 1 cup of pulut hitam & my rice cooker has an option for porridge. So I filled the water up to the marking for 1 cup porridge on my rice pot., which is  about the same level as 3 cups rice.
I set a timer last night for it to get cooked by 7am this morning.

Added sugar & coconut milk when I wanna eat it.
