Chicken Murtabak II (Murtabak Ayam II)

 
 Making murtabak is not difficult anymore for those who are worried about making the Roti Canai dough. It can easily be resolved by using ready made frozen Popiah skin instead. Making the filling is a breath and the murtabak will be on the way for breakfast or evening tea in no time! The skin is crispy while is hot.... very nice.

I had bad experience with food poisoning because often the murtabak stall will store the leftover and sell it again the next day. Making it yourself will guarantee hygiene and taste better too!


Makes 4 medium size murtabak
INGREDIENTS:
8 pieces Popiah Skin 8.5" sq
2 Eggs
1 Chicken Breast - chopped finely 
1 small Potato - 1/4" cubed 
2 Shallots*
2 cloves Garlic*
1" Ginger*
1 tsp Black Pepper*
1/2 tsp Cumin*
1/2 tsp Fennel Seeds* (* pounded) 
1 tbsp Curry Powder - add some water to form paste 
1 Big Onion - chopped 
Chinese Celery
Salt

METHOD:
1. Heat up few tbsp oil & stir fry potato until cook.
Dish out & put aside.
2. Stir fry pounded ingredients* in the leftover oil until fragrant.
Add in curry powder paste & stir-fry until fragrant, adding some water if it sticks to bottom of pan.
Add in chicken, potato & salt and stir well.
Lastly add in big onion and celery.
Cool.

3. Beat 1 egg with fork and mix in half of the filling.
Spoon 1/2 of it into a piece of popiah skin & fold like an envelope.
Place it onto another piece of popiah skin & fold again.
Repeat with remaining filling & skin.

4. Place it onto a flat pan pre-heated with a tbsp of oil.
Flip occasionally until crispy.
 

5. Serve with onion pickles or curry.
6. To make Onion Pickles: Sliced big onion+vinegar+salt+sugar+red color. Let it soak for about 10 min.

Seronok nya dapat pie maker ni... import khas dari Australia. Senang nak sediakan sarapan selepas ni sebab tersangat lah mudah & cepat masak nya. Lubang nya besar, memang kenyang makan seketul pun. Dah macam2 yg Along buat tapi tak sempat nak snap gambo nya. Senang2 nanti Along kongsikan apa yg Along buat dgn pie maker ni ya.

Cornflakes Cookies (Again)

 Despite my hectic life, I managed to bake some cornflakes cookies for a couple of chinese friends. I wish I could do much more for many more friends but time just too limited to do so. There was no chance to bake during the week days as I came home late from work almost everyday and this one was made a week ago. This is one of my favourite recipe and cookies. After tested several other cornflakes cookies recipes, I now only stick to this one as the cornflakes stay crunchy! Previously posted here.

To all chinese friends, GONG XI FA CAI and have a joyous & prosper snake year!
