How to Prepare Buah Keluak

I have been told that my blogging is sporadic, erratic at best.
And also that I sound like a tape recorder played on repeat, at times. 🙂 

I’ll be honest, I’ve been having trouble with the buah keluak recipe.
To be very fair, it has been a while since I last did any heavy duty blogging / photo editing,
and I am beginning to think that perhaps I’m getting a little too old for this. 
It’s taken me almost three weeks to complete, and I’ve decided to break it into a two-part instalment;
especially since I realised that not many non-Peranakans know how to prepare these tough lil’ buggers for cooking to begin with.

A few weeks ago, I introduced you to the star of the show.

Don’t go! There’s more!

Storing Ginger

I should’ve published my Babi and/or Ayam Buah Keluak recipe yesterday.
Truth be told, I was too busy whipping up a 4-course meal for the Baba and I.
*burp*

Till I get about editing the pictures for the post, here’s a lil’ tip for my 10-odd readers. 🙂
I love you! I love you all! 

If you’re like me (READ: working, maid-less amateur cook who whips up a meal, at most, twice a week), you’ll probably be at a loss when it comes to purchasing ingredients like ginger (or onions, or garlic – but these keep for perpetuity with their skins on).

Your recipe will probably call for vague amounts: a thumb of… a thimble of… (WTF*CK?!)
to more precise measurements: 5 cm of… an inch of…
However they word it though, unless you’re cooking for an army, you’ll usually not need more than 5-10 cm of it.

Don’t go! There’s more!
