Teh Tarik Yog

Teh Tarik is a term for the tea being poured back and forth using 2 cups, so that it creates bubble in it and makes it cooler to drink. It must have cream or condense milk in it, sweet with tea flavour. Lipton tea is a good choice.

Teh Tarik or Pull Tea, comes from India, as what I heard. Besides adding condense milk or creamer, I add in plain yogurt too. I guess it is ok to use different flavors if you have some preferences.

1 Cup Lipton Tea
1 Tablespoon Sugar
2 Tablespoon Condense Milk
2 Tablespoon Plain Yogurt

Method:

1. Make a cup of tea, just normal tea with milk and sugar.
2. Stir in plain yogurt, until smooth.
3. Using another cup, pour into back and forth until some bubbles formed, may be 5 times.
4. Drink when there are bubbles on the surface, just like espresso...

Enjoy... Sedap!

Rainy Taufu

Well, why the name of my dish is Rainy Taufu? It is a rainy day today, and taufu is my favourite. As I promised earlier on putting my recipe on the blog, here it is.

1 packet Firm/Medium Taufu (cube)
3 stalks Thai Basil (take the leaf)
1/2 red onion (julien)
2 cloves garlic (chop)
1/2 bell pepper (chop)
3 tablespoon Teriyaki sauce with sesame
2 tablespoon cooking oil
sprinkle crushed pepper (optional)

Method:-

Heat the wok, and add the oil. Then add in cube taufu, fried until slightly brown on the surface (to reduce the water content too). Add in garlic and crushed pepper. Stir fried a little and then add in teriyaki sauce and the rest of the ingredients. Stir fried and simmmer for at least 10 seconds until the sauce thicken and smells good. Serve hot. Good with steamed rice.

Yummy......
