"Apam Balik" / Malaysian Peanut Pancake Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Also known as “Apom Balek”, “Ban Chang Kuih”, “Bang Chang Kueh”, Fluffy Pancakes with Roasted Peanuts and Sesame Seeds… this dish has so many inconsistent naming conventions that I had a tough time deciding the best name to call it for my Blog Title so people would search for it and find it. Just like the “Pisang Goreng”.. this dish holds a lot of childhood memories for me. Where I grew up in a small capital city in Borneo (Kuching), whenever I’m out shopping with my parents – I would every once in a while convince my parents to buy … Continue reading "Apam Balik" / Malaysian Peanut Pancake Recipe

Rice Congee Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Serves 2 This simple dish brings back strong childhood memories. I remember whenever I’m sick and just don’t have the appetite to eat anything “solid”, my mom or dad would make me “bak moi” or “mince pork porridge” and everything will feel better. In Australia, this dish is called a “congee” therefore let’s go with the flow of the western world and just run with this “congee” business, lol. I will always affectionately remember this dish as “porridge” of course, but whenever I want porridge in this country.. someone will end up bringing me a bowl of oats 🙂 Anyway… … Continue reading Rice Congee Recipe

Asian Risotto Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

I believe I just made something up – but my palate loves it! And my hubby goes for seconds on this one, so it’s worthwhile sharing. It was another one of those nights when I only had 30 minutes to cook dinner, and challenging myself to use whatever ingredients available in the pantry / fridge. The result, is a wholesome risotto-ey dish which is not quite the traditional risotto most Australians are familiar with… so I’ve named it “Asian Risotto” lol, it’s like my own Invention Test in Kimba’s Kitchen! I really hope you guys like it, it’s very simple … Continue reading Asian Risotto Recipe

Chicken and Vegetable Curry Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Kimba’s Winter Weeknight Recipe On a really cold weeknight, instinctively I search the pantry for ingredients to make a quick and easy, delicious curry. This only takes approx. 45 minutes to cook and prepare simply because you eliminate the process of making the curry paste from scratch. However, it takes more than just a packet of Malaysian curry paste and coconut milk to satisfy my palate. So I’ve created my own version of a simple curry that is wholesome and very satisfying… enjoy 🙂 Ingredients: 1 tbsp Canola Oil 200g Malaysian Chicken Curry Paste 1 tsp minced garlic 1 tsp … Continue reading Chicken and Vegetable Curry Recipe

Malaysian Beef Rendang Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Recipe provided by: Allrecipes  A classic Malaysian favorite, the beauty of beef rendang is that it is not an overly spicy curry dish… I don’t even know if it’s classified as a “curry” as Malaysians have always just put it in a way that “rendang” is almost like a category on its own! This dish has a very unique flavor, and if you play around with the quantities of sugar and chilies, a whole range of effects can be produced. Serve this dish with rice. Kimba’s Tip: For super tender chunks of beef, cook the beef in a pressure cooker … Continue reading Malaysian Beef Rendang Recipe
