Shix Cooks: Masak merah

This is my spur of the moment decision to masak merah instead of sweet sour lol. 


It was different. Sour and spicy all at the same time wooooo!

Ingredients:

Set A
1 large onion
2 shallots
4 cloves of garlic
2 cm ginger
4 red chillies 
1 large tomato

Set B
2 tbsp aminah's masak merah powder
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt

 pieces of 3 joint chicken wing

Set C
1/3 of a capsicum diced
1 large tomato wedged

Method: 
Blend the items in set A together till smooth. 
In a wok, put about 3 tbsp of oil. Then, fry A till fragrant. 
Add in the items in set B then fry it some more. 
Once you're satisfied that the rempah/spice paste is nicely fried and has oxidized to a nice deep colour, add in the chicken. Reduce the flame and cover for 15 mins. Add in set C and cover for another 10 mins. 

Taste to make sure there's enough sugar and salt in there. 

Optional: throw in some fresh mint leaves. 

That's it! Prep in less than 10 minutes and cooking for about 40 mins. Serve with a side of plain rice and a raita. Woot!
