MALAYSIAN CURRY POWDER by Linda Tay Esposito

I re-created this recipe based on the memory of smell (oui, Rémy!) of the aroma in my late grandmother's house as she roasted curry powder. My grandmother roasted curry powder in a wok 1-yard in diameter, over a charcoal stove, and had all of us - her grandkids - tightly packed the spice mix into recycled glass ketchup bottles which…

Mee Goreng by Padma Priya Manikam

Mee goreng means fried noodles. It is one of a Malaysian favourite that can be eaten at any time of the day (like nasi lemak). It is generally made from yellow egg noodles but since I am not able to find them here I substituted it with instant noodles! Just "dress" it up with some ingredients and you are good to go!

MALAYSIAN FISH BALLS by Linda Tay Esposito

Bouncy meatballs! My good aunt, Shirley, shared this recipe with me - her secret ingredient is to add the egg (you must stir in in one directions, she says) to make the fish ball puff up during frying. The skin then collapses to a chewy bite, while the meat inside remains bouncy. Very few people really make this at home anymore…
