Acar Tomato dan Timun (Tomato and Cucumber Salad)

This one is a quickie. Mum made this to eat with the fish soup made earlier and rice. Its very easy to make with little ingredients. You do need French dressing though to compliment the tomato and cucumber. I ended up eating the whole thing on its own...hehe.

Just mix well and its ready.

The Ingredients

• 1/2 a cucmber (timun), skinned and sliced the outer part of the cucumber. We do not use the seeded part of the cucumber.
• 1 tomato, sliced similar to the cucumber.
• 5 to 6 shallots (bawang kecil), sliced thinly.
• 1 tablespoon dried shrimp powder (serbuk udang kering)
• 1 green chili (cili hijau), sliced.
• 1 red chili (cili merah), pounded with course salt and pounded just lightly to break the chili.
• 1 to 2 tablespoon of French Dressing. You can get this from any supermarkets.

The Method

• Just put everything in a bowl and mix them well... yup that's it. Its ready to be served.

Here is the video. Its a short one. ;-)

So... masak lah dengan kasih sayang. Memang lagi sedap. Enjoy!

Acar Nenas (Pineapple Salad)

This is a quick one normally eaten with nasi minyak, curry etc. We've modified this slightly. We didn't use vinegar, instead we've used salad oil.

So here goes...

Dried shrimp powder

The Ingredients
• Cili padi (small chillies).
• Cili merah (Red chillies).
• Udang kering (dried shrimp) powder.
• Salt.
All of the above ingredients are pounded finely.
• Pineapple cleaned and the core removed.
• Bawang merah (shallots) sliced thinly.
• Cucumber, the skin and the middle part removed. The sides are sliced.
• Salad oil or clear vinegar.
Update: My sister, Ainita uses french dressing instead of vinegar.

The Method

• Put the pounded ingredients and the sliced ones in a bowl. Mix well.
• Add the salad oil and salt to taste. Vinegar is normally used for this.

Thats it. Easy huh? Hahaha. Here is the video. My dear younger sister, Eileena is in this one.

So... masak lah dengan kasih sayang, memang lebih sedap. Enjoy!
