Kugan, can u please post the recipe for a spicy vegetarian Nasi Goreng & mee goreng? Also can we make bean sprouts at home?... is it made from green moong or elsewhat?
Dev, sorry for the late reply.
yes you can make bean sprouts at home.
It's moong dal, soak it for 24 hours.
Then drain it, using a open container line it with wet
muslin cloth, or even thick napkin paper.
See that the cloth is moist.
Then spread the soaked moong dal evenly and
keep it in a warm place.
sprinkle water every 4 hours.
After 4 days you can use the sprouts.
It will not be very long like what you buy in market.
But you will get the satisfaction of making your own sprouts.
The sprouts which I made for the salad.

Method:
Heat 2 tbs of oil in a wok, add in the minced garlic and fry till it gives out a good aroma. Now add in the onions and sauté well.
When the onions turn a bit limp, add in the chillie paste and cook till oil rises .
Now slow the fire and add in the tomato,sliced green chillie, tomato sauce,thick soy sauce, light soy sauce and the mustard greens.
See that the greens are not over cooked.
Now add in the fresh noodles, sprinkle little water and cook on high heat, stirring often and see that the noodles are not burnt.
Lastly add in the white pepper, fried tofu and the bean sprouts.
Give another good stir, taste for salt and remove.
The bean sprouts should be still crunchy.

This is a basic vegetarian fried mee which we cook in our house.
Non-vegetarians can add in prawns,chicken,and eggs.

Kugan, thanks a lot for the recipe & bean sprout tip... Will try making the sprouts. I'm missing it very badly since we left SG...:(
& for the mee goreng recipe, how do we make chilli paste...just grind some red chillies or do we add anything more to it?...& we don't get yellow noodles here...I guess any noodles should work fine,right?... I'm trying it once the sprouts are ready...Thanks again,Kugan...:)
dev, u can also make sprouts with white channa, black channa, black eyed beans, horsegram, thatta payiru. These beans will take longer time to sprout.

i tried brownie , it came out very nicely. This is very easy to make and everybody at home and friends enjoyed it.
For this we don't need convention oven, normal basic oven is enough. This receipe was given by one of my friend.
Brownies:
=========
Self Raising Flour - 1 cup
(option - if we use maida, then take maida - 1 cup and baking powder - 1/2 tsp.)
egg - 2
Castor sugar - 1 cup (option - make sugar powder at home , 1 cup powder)
butter - unsalted 90 gms
choclate - 100 gms (cooking choclate)
instant coffee powder - 1 tsp
vanilla essence - 1 tsp
walnuts - 1 cup (blanch walnuts remove skin, chop finely or just coarsely grind it in the blender)
Procedure:
---------
1. Melt butter in the microwave.
2. Beat eggs with the spoon and mix it with butter.
3. To the above add powdered sugar and mix.
4. Melt choclate in the microwave and add it above.
5. Now add the self raising flour little by little to the above.
6. Next add instant coffee (can be mixed in 10ml of warm milk ). If we add instant coffee directly lumps of coffee can be seen in the batter. To avoid this, it can be mixed with the warm milk.
7. Add vanilla essence and the chopped walnuts to the batter and mix .
No need to use the beater or mixer to mix all the above ingredients. Everything can be mixed with the spoon.
Now grease a tray with butter, then pour the batter and keep it in the microwave, cover the tray with another plate. (plate should be upside down, this is very important), so that the batter will not raise and come out.
Set it for 7 minutes and cook. After 5 minutes check and continue cooking. The time may vary according to the microwave. In my microwave it took only 7 minutes.
Then it is ready to eat.
Full preparation takes only 20 minutes.
Thanks Selvi... I do make sprouts with mixed dhal for kulambu... I'm particularly interested in the mung sprouts used in chinese cooking...Quote:
