Ingredients

  • Beef Meat - 500 g, small slices
  • Galangal (Lengkuas) - 1.5 inch, bruised
  • Ginger - 1 inch, small sliced, vertically
  • Coriander (Ketumbar) - coarsely crushed
  • Garlic - 3 cloves, sliced
  • Red Onion - 4 bulbs, sliced
  • Dried Chili - 3 pieces, to be crushed with the coriander above
  • Dried Garcinia Cambogia (Asam Keping) - 3 pieces
  • Salt dan sugar
  • Budu (Anchovies Sauce) - optional
  • Water
  • Bird's Eye Chili (Cili Padi)

How to Make

  1. Put the galangal, ginger, coriander, garlic, and red onion into a big pot and stir mix with the meat with just a small amount of water at first. The point is to ensure that the meat can absorb the flavors as much as possible.
  2. Boil the mixture for some time but not too long. Ensure that the lid is on.
  3. Pour in water.
  4. Put the lid back on. Leave until the meat becomes soft.
  5. Put in salt and the dried garcinia. Resume cooking until the meat becomes really soft.
  6. You may add some flavorings and budu to taste.
  7. Optionally, you may add in some cili padi if you wish to spice things up a bit.
  8. Then, turn off the heat and serve.

Tom Kha Kai (ต้มข่าไก่), Chicken Galangal Soup

Image
An acquaintance suggested ' Tom Kha Gai ' (or ' Tom Kha Kai ') during one of our meet-ups.  'The kids will love them," he had said. On a spectrum where the ' Tomyam ' is at one end while ' Poktek ' is on the other, I would say that the Tom Kha Kai sits somewhere in between. It is absolutely delicious and simple to prepare - you should try it out!

The Prophetic or Sunnah-based Food a.k.a. "Makanan Sunnah" Advertising Dilemma and How to Fix It

Image
To those unfamiliar with the term, the word  Sunnah  is usually a reference made to our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ - be it his sayings, actions (including his approvals), and practices. Hence, when it is used in association with the term 'food' (i.e. " makanan Sunnah "), it can lead to diverse interpretations and unintended use.  Thankfully, a few academicians have already attempted to raise this issue and unravel the possible meanings of " makanan Sunnah ", especially from the community context 1 - from where the term was "coined", and they are: All food that is derived and mentioned in al-Qur'an and al-Hadith (Prophetic traditions) - this context and meaning has been the primary understanding amongst the Muslim masses in Malaysia; All food that brings goodness and  maslahah 2 (brings benefits and wards off harm) to mankind whether it has been mentioned in al-Qur'an, al-Hadith, or in neither of them. This definition, no doubt, is derived...

By The Fig and The Olive - The Qur'anic Perspective and Scientific Evidence Affirming Effects on Longevity and Vitality

Black and green olives. The Qur'an mentions this fruit as ' Az-Zaytuun ' (ٱلزَّيْتُونِ). The  Aloe Vera  plant isn't the only natural resource found in either of the primary sources of Islam (Al-Qur'an and As-Sunnah). There are others and two that are often mentioned aloud in a congregation prayer are the fruits we call figs and olives, referred to in Arabic as ' At-Tin ' and ' Az-Zaytuun '. The way that these fruits have been mentioned in  Surah At-Tin (the 95 th Surah or Chapter in the Qur'an) signifies how important they are because Allah specifically swore by them. However, as we leave At-Tin and Az-Zaytuun in their fruit context for a little while, it is important to note that some of the mufassirūn (the authors of tafsir s, a piece of commentary works that critically explain or interpret the verses of the Qur'an i.e. an exegesis of the Qur'an) h...
