Malaysian Pork Stew with Garnishes by John Spottiswood

This recipe, which is adapted from the New York Times Cookbook, is just outstanding. It has a great combination of flavors that everyone in our family loved.

Malaysian Pork Stew by John Spottiswood

This is a wonderfully flavored pork stew with warm flavors of curry, ginger and basil mixed with spicy cayenne pepper. If you're serving to kids, cut the cayenne back to 1/2 teaspoon and add more to the bowls of the adults.

Steamed Pork Ribs with Fermented Black Beans

Steamed Pork Ribs with Fermented Black Beans by kitchen flavours

This is really delicious with plain white rice. Rice is a staple food and an absolute must, for Asians. Of course, we do go for noodles and sometimes fast food too, once in a while, but rice remains the main staple food for Asians. One may sit at a dinner table with lavish spreads of delicious meats and vegetables, but it will not be…

MALAYSIAN CURRY POWDER

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.

MALAYSIAN FISH BALLS

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…

Nasi Lemak

Nasi Lemak by Padma Priya Manikam

This is an all time favourite Malaysian dish. It is commonly eaten for breakfast but works fine for lunch or dinner. Nasi means rice and lemak is actually fats! The rice is basically cooked in coconut milk rendering it to be a filling and fattening dish. It is a complete meal when served with condiments such as ikan bilis sambal,…
