I think loving myself should start with the simplest way to cook delicious food for myself. Once a person is full and warm physically and mentally, he will definitely have the strength to continue to face life. I hope this hearty Penang “Lam Pnui” (Gravy Rice) can bring you a different delicious experience!
Rice
First, weigh an appropriate amount of short rice and wash it two or three times. After draining, there will still be a small amount of water left. Add clean water in a 1:1 ratio of rice to water. After soaking for 20 minutes, add a little fragrant oil and stir evenly. This will not only increase the aroma of the rice, but also keep the rice moist and soft. Then, put the rice into the steamer that has been steamed, steam it on high heat for 15 minutes, and then let it sit for 10 minutes. The rice cooked in this way is distinct and has a glutinous taste, which is very suitable for juicy dishes such as curry rice or braised pork rice. If you use fragrant rice, the same method can also achieve this soft and glutinous taste.
Side dishes
After heating the wok, add a tablespoon of lard, first add shrimps and stir-fry until half-cooked, then remove and set aside. Next, add carrot slices and oyster mushroom strips and stir-fry until fragrant, then add chicken pieces and stir-fry until the surface is slightly charred and emits a rich aroma. After adding seasonings, bring to a boil over high heat, and then add vegetables. Mix water chestnut powder and appropriate amount of water, add to the pot in batches and stir until the soup is thick. After turning off the heat, break up an egg and gently pour it into the pot to form a beautiful egg flower, and finally add the fried shrimps. In this way, a pot of rich and flavorful gravy sauce is ready. You can also replace meat or vegetables according to your personal taste to make this dish more diverse.
Finally, pour the fragrant sauce evenly on the rice, and sprinkle with garlic and green onions. This simple and delicious Penang “Lam Pnui” (Gravy Rice) is done. Paired with rich sambal chili sauce, it adds a spicy layered feeling, making people unable to stop eating one bite after another.
