Khmer, Thai, Lao Jerky ( Sach Ko Ngeat pralack)



Khmer, Thai, Lao Jerky ( Sach Ko Ngeat pralack)

This is Southeast Asia style jerky I twisted a little so the flavor tastes better. We call it sundried jerky, but in Seattle there is no sun I have meat dryer to dry my jerky. You can buy pre- sliced beef is easy or you can slice it yourself. I don’t have exact measurement; adjust to your taste.

2 lbs of beef thinly sliced
1/4 cup of oyster sauce
1/4 cup of soy sauce
1/2 cup of yoshida sauce from Costco or teriyaki sauce
1 t salt if needed more salty flavor
6 cloves garlic pound in mortar to paste
1 big rice spoon of sliced ginger
2 T (not rice spoon measuring spoon) of sugar more or less up to you
1 t black pepper or crush chili
2 T of roasted sesame seeds (optional)
Msg optional

Mix and marinate the meat with the entire ingredients and let it marinate overnight
The next day take it out and sundry or dry in a food dryer.

When ready to serve you can pop in microwave for 1 minute if the meat is thin enough to cook in the microwave or grill it, but the best way to cook Asian jerky is deep fry.
Serve dried jerky with lime juice dressing and sticky rice or Thai Som Tam or Khmer Bok Lahong.

Note: I fry my meat before I put it away to marinate so I know the meat will taste good when it dry.
Do add and adjust the flavor to your taste. Yoshida and teriyaki sauce bring a better taste to any jerky.

Enjoy!

Baked or Deep Fried Coconut Chicken





Baked or Deep Fried Coconut Chicken

I found chicken on sale so I thought I would make some fried chicken. I used breast bone cut in half, drumsticks, and thighs. I didn’t have butter milk so I used coconut milk for the first time and it turned out good. I seasoned the chicken first then soaked them in one can of coconut milk. I don’t have the exact recipe, but this is close enough that you can follow.

2 breasts bone-in cut in half
4 thighs
6 drumsticks
1 can of coconut milk
1 t of Cayenne pepper
1 t of garlic salt
Black pepper and salt to taste
You can use any seasoning you like
Mix and marinate the chicken with coconut milk and seasoning for 1 hour.
Oil to deep fry the chicken

Then I divided the chicken in half. I kept all the drumsticks for deep fry and baked the rest of the chicken with Italian bread crumbs.

To deep fry you need
Flour seasoned with salt and pepper or any seasoning you have on hand
Take out the batter chicken and coat it with flour
Deep fry the chicken on medium heat until golden brown
Take out and drain on basket.

To bake you can use Italian bread crumbs or regular bread crumbs, I like Italian bread crumbs better.
Or you can mix half coconut flake to coat the chicken along with bread crumb.

Take out the coconut batter chicken from the marinate then coat it with Italian bread crumb on both sides
Lay on a baking rack with baking tray under the rack.

Preheat oven to 425 degree bake for 25 minutes or until your chicken is done with golden color on the outside.

Serve your fried or baked coconut chicken with Thai cucumber salad on my blog or Thai sweet and chili sauce.

Enjoy!

Tapioca Smoothie or Bubble Tea



Banana Tapioca Smoothie

This kind of drink is very popular in Asia. Here in the US bubble tea make with black tea, I thought if the recipe calls for tea why can we make smoothie Tapioca and just don’t add tea to it. Tapioca pearl come with many color so pick what you like. I give you both recipes if you like bubble tea. You can even use chocolate or Strawberry milk for Tapioca Pearl.

For the bubble tea recipe you need to boil 1 cup of tapioca pearl.

1/2 cup of cooked any color tapioca pearl
1 cup of milk or soy milk
1 cup of black tea
Ice
Some sweeteners

Tapioca takes a long time to cook, in a medium pot boil 5 cups of water and add 1 cup of Tapioca to boiling water.
Boil tapioca on medium heat for 30 minutes then turn the heat off and cover while it is hot steaming for another 30 minutes so the tapioca will cook all the way.
You can boil Tapioca longer than 30 minutes until the tapioca turn clear and no white inside (this is the best way) if the water is evaporated do add more water to it. When it is done drian cooked tapioca under cold running water rinse and set aside.

Take the amount you need keep the rest in the fridge for later use (don’t keep it too long or else it will stick together like jelly, if it sticks together rinse it again under cold running water then it will separate)

To make the tea put the tapioca in the tall glass set aside
In a separate bowl or glass mix the rest of the milk and tea with some sweeteners then poor into the tapioca glass with some ice in it.

Serve cold

For the smoothies recipe ( if the smoothie is thick add more milk or soy milk to it so the Tapioca can come out easy with the big straw, always add sweetener to it.)

I use all kind of tropical fruit for the smoothie all you have to do add the cooked tapioca to it.
You can make banana smoothie tapioca, mango, or pineapple whatever you like. Sometime I just buy some yogurt smoothie from the store and add cooked tapioca pearl to it.

Here are few recipes you can do
Banana smoothie
2 Bananas
1 cup of milk
5 T of frozen orange juice concentrate
3 T of malted milk powder
Crush ice (add later when serve) or ice cube

Glutinous Rice Mung Bean Dessert (khmer dessert)



Glutinous Rice Mung Bean Dessert (khmer dessert)

This is Khmer popular dessert. It takes few steps to do it. I don’t have the exact measurement, but close enough you can follow. This recipes make a lot if you don’t have too many mouth to feed cut the recipe in half.

For the filling
1 pkg of yellow Mung bean (buy the yellow bean ready to use no skin) Soak the beans for 2 hours in warm water
After 2 hours wash the mung bean for few times drain then steam the mung bean in a steamer until soft. Let it cool then add ½ t of salt, 1 T of sugar mash it to paste.
Take one T spoon of mung bean paste roll it to a ball and set aside. Repeat the remaining of the paste.

For the dough
You need 1 bag of (16oz) glutinous rice powder mix with 2 1/2 cups of water. Do add water little by little in case the dough is too thin. Mix the dough well then knead the dough until smooth. Take about 1 T out then roll it to a ball and flat it in the palm of your hand, now take out one roll of bean paste and cover it with the white
dough and roll it to a round ball, set aside. Repeat the remaining dough and mung bean filling until all gone. If you like you can flat the dough a bit before boiling them so it is easy to eat.

To cook the dough bring a big pot of water to a boil when the water is boiling drop few white dough’s with filling inside cook until the dough float to the top from that point you need to boil 5 more minutes so the glutinous rice will cook completely. Take the dough out and put them in a cold bath water let it sit for few minutes then you can add to the coconut sauce.


Coconut sauce for the glutinous rice dough
1 can of coconut cream
1 can of water
1 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar
¼ t of salt
Toasted sesame seeds for garnish when serve

Boil one can of coconut cream and 1 can of water (use the coconut can to measure the water)with 1 cup of white sugar and ½ cup of brown sugar, ¼ t of salt and 1 T of thinly sliced fresh ginger on low heat. This is kind of simmering the sauce until it is hot and the ginger flavor come out. Let the sauce cool down.


When the dough is cool down add them to the coconut sauce pan, when ready to serve add sesame seeds to it. My mom always pounds the sesame seeds (in mortar pestle) with a bit of salt to give flavor to the dessert and drizzle 1 t spoon of warm coconut cream on the top.

Another way to serve this dessert is to take few pieces of cooked dough and add few spoonful of sauce on it instead of put them in the sauce, either way will work.

This kind of dessert is best to serve a bit warm so the coconut won’t taste bad.

Do adjust to your taste more sweet or less sweet up to you.

Enjoy!
