Tiger Mike's Fettuccine Alfredo

Ingredients

10 ounces fettuccine pasta

1/2 cup butter

5 cloves garlic, chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1 egg yolk

2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons dried parsley

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

2. In a large skillet melt the butter and add the chopped garlic. Cook on low for about 5 minutes, stirring often, making sure not to burn the garlic.

3. Pour about a 1/4 cup of the heavy cream into a small bowl. Add the egg yolk and beat together; put aside. Pour the remaining cream into the frying pan. Increase the heat to medium-high. As the cream starts to boil, mix rapidly using a whisk. Slowly add the cream/egg mixture. You do not want the egg to curdle. Continue whisking until well blended.

4. Add 1 cup of the Parmesan cheese and continue to mix the cream. Pour in the remaining Parmesan and the parsley, mix until smooth. Immediately remove from stove. Serve over cooked pasta.

Tiger Mike On Bombay Duck

Tigers,

What is Bombay Duck?

Apalah you, semua tarak tau!! In Bahasa its called ikan Lumi-Lumi or Lumek. No bones. My OCPD found them sold by fisherman on the beach of Pantai Merdeka, where her farm is. The fishermen made soup out of it with mee sua*. Generally, the Orang Kedah tarak makan the fish. RM 2.50 per kg negotiable.

I have asked for a few kg to make fresh salt fish Teowchew style. I honestly thought that the Mat Salleh had them salted in India for them and sold to the world as canned salted fish. Kedah has plenty. We ate the stuff as young officers in the good old days in the officers' messes of our Army. Big deal. To us, it tasted like the Ikan kering of Cik Puteh Mamak Makan Shop in Taiping.

* You have to eat mee sua, to get rid of bd fungshui, if a bird drops its shit on your shoulder !!

Tiger Mike's Satay Marinade

Tigers,

If you are making satay at home, this is the marinade I usually use:

Marinade A
2 stalks lemongras
2cm piece galangal
2cm fresh turmeric
3-4 candlenuts
2 dried cillies
4 Daun limau perut (fat fong kum yip) (varthilai)

Spice B

1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp fennel powder
1 tsp coriander powder
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp tamarind juice
2 tbsp oil

Blend ingredients for marinade A with a little water in a food processor to a fine paste. Pour paste into a mixing bowl and add spice B to mix.

Marinade meat with the combined marinade ingredients. Leave aside for three to four hours. Overnight in the fridge is better.

Thread the meat strips onto bamboo or metal skewers, and BBQ until golden and slightly charred. Serve with satay sauce.

You probably use beef and chicken. Try Aust ox tongue @ RM 5.10 per kg. Pressure cook it for 30 minutes, and slice off the outer thick cover. Slice the tongue into small pieces. You can also try ox liver.

I don't bother to make the sauce. Too much bother. I buy Brahim's satay sauce, and drown the retort pouch in boiling water for four minutes, cut and serve.

Satay is a flyer with kiddies.

Good luck.

Tiger Mike's Guinness Hokkien Mee

Got this from a gluttony friend.. Hokkien Mee with Guinness stout..1

Crazy or what..!

Subject: Guinness Hokkien Mee

Singapore hawkers are raising their pints of Guinness and cooking with it, and now so can you

By 22 June, 2011


These men know the benefits of the 'meal in a glass'.

Well-versed foodies will understand the principle behind Newton Lim Kee Hokkien Noodles¡¦ latest offering, Guinness Hokkien Mee.

This Wednesday and Thursday, a couple of enterprising hawkers are using the iconic Irish stout to add depth and complexity to one of Singapore's best loved local dishes.

Far from confusing the palate, the result is a malty, sweet undertone to the sauce, rather than the bitterness one might expect. Once the noodles start to cool, the familiar notes of the hops behind the Guinness begin to emerge.

Created to pay tribute to Guinness¡¦ 142-year association with Singapore, if you¡¦re curious to give it a try (or perhaps a little dubious about the combination) judge for yourself by sampling the Guinness Hokkien Mee by Newton Lim Kee Hokkien Noodles and Guinness Prawns and Guinness Squid by Boon Tat Street BBQ Seafood at the Singapore Food Trail.

And if you can't get enough of the good stuff, use the recipe below to re-create the Guinness magic at home.

June 22-24. Guinness dishes will be served 7 p.m.--9:30 p.m. only. Prices start at S$5. Singapore Food Trail, Singapore Flyer, #01-09/12 30 Raffles Ave.

2 bay leaves (daun salam) if not use curry leaves
4 chicken breasts cut into four equal pieces

2 ginger flowers (bunga kantan or keong fah or injee poo)

Put 2 tbsp of oil in a wok and fry the ginger, garlic and one ginger flower.

Refry the chicken with one ginger flower for three minutes in the wok with one tbsp of oil. Place the chicken in the sauce and serve with rice.

Tiger Mike's Tandoori Chicken Marinade

Frens,

Giving you another option to cook your own tandoori chicken or lamb. When you buy tandoori chicken from a Mamak shop, you'll see that the chopper is usually dirty and badly maintained. One pack of Maggi tandoori mix (10g) is RM 2.50 for 400g of chicken. You might as well make your own powder. With a bit of yogurt and shallots, you are ready to marinate the chook, and you are sure of contaminant-free ingredients. Please see attachment.
Best of luck.

1 tsp garlic powder or crushed garlic

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp cloves powder

½ tsp grated nutmeg

1 tsp mace powder

11/2 tbsp cumin powder
