Everyday Malaysian

This is just like the Everyday Italian where the beautiful host Giada De Laurentiis show you how to make a very simple Italian dishes for everyday eating. Well, I'm just so much Malaysian that I couldn't live without eating rice. Of course I can survive by eating bread or pasta everyday but since you have a choice so you just end up eating Malaysian dishes everyday. After all, our local dishes are so rich in flavors and oil too. It just kind of make you addicted.

So, today's lunch is a quick and easy one. Fried fish and fried shrimps. Everything fried, how unhealthy. Well, I just made fresh salad few days ago and that will balance back for the whole week. Fair enough, huh?

Fried Shrimp With Chillies

Quick and easy and super duper delicious too! Just sprinkled the shrimps with tumeric powder and lil' bit of salt. Fried the shrimp on high heat with sliced onions and garlic. Keep aside and on the same skillet, fried some onions and garlic again, add in Sambal Olek and stir well, add in some dark soy sauce and oyster sauce, add in some sugar and stir until the chillies thicken, you can add a dollop of butter to thickens it, then put back the shrimp into the skillet, mix well and it's done!


Fried Fish with Bell Pepper

As easy as 1,2,3.. marinate the fish with tumeric powder, paprika, salt and fish sauce. Let it sit for 1/2 hour. Then, fry the fish. I love crispy fish. Put the fish on the plate. Using the same skillet and oil, fry the red and green capsicum, onions and garlic (cubed em while frying the fish). Fried until the onion and garlic has turn light brown. Dashed in some light soy sauce, sprinkle some black pepper and let it simmers for a while. Pour the whole things on the fish and you're good to go.
