Geragau Lah Kacang Panjang

Posted in Makan-Makan, Write On on November 2, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Semakin kita banyak kerja dan semakin kesuntukan masa, semakin lah kita nak mengemas kononnya. Macam semalam, kita nak tengok apa dalam peti ais yang dah boleh dihapuskira. Itu saja nawaitunya.

Tetapi…
Tiba-tiba kita terpandang kacang panjang yang dah naik kecut kesejukan. Kalau tak bermasak, alamatnya minggu depan lah peminat kacang panjang di Mesra ni baru jumpa jalan balik. Orangnya nun di Batu Berendam.

Jadi kita pun berpencak silat lah di Cucina Mesra, asah pisau, capai papan pemotong, sambar Geragau dalam tempat sejuk beku, kupas bawang, buka balang emping cili, pukul telur sampai berbuih!

3 cawan kacang panjang potong 1-2 inci
3 sudu besar Geragau Tawau
3 biji bawang putih dihiris
2 biji bawang merah dihiris
2 biji telur dipukul laju-laju
1 sudu kecil emping cili
1 sudu kecil Cukup Rasa
1 sudu besar minyak masak

  • Panaskan minyak, tumis bawang-bawang.
  • Campurkan Geragau, emping cili dan Cukup Rasa sampai keemasan.
  • Masukkan telur, kacau selama 30 saat.
  • Sudahi dengan kacang panjang yang telah dipendekkan. 2 minit cukup.

Boleh dimakan dengan nasi panas, nasi sejuk, nasi lesung, nasi periuk atau pulut. Yang penting, mesti makan. Kalau tak makan tapi mengada-ngada nak mengadu lapar, Enida malas nak layan.

November Second

Edrick speaks with an assertive voice that comes with a volume you rarely have to ask him to repeat himself. On the other hand, his Kaka is a soft spoken and a quiet speaker. Two totally different characters, these November babies. And often, the kakak being kakak, Kitreena has to control everybody’s volume (and everything else).

Last Sunday, having some ENT issues, Kitreena was ‘deaf’ in one ear. But she was speaking like a mouse — so worried if she was being too loud. Although Kafei Dian was not all that noisy, we could barely hear ourselves. The white noise was so prevalent, you see.

So when her Dedek was telling about something into her good ear with that assertive voice, Kitreena patted her brother’s hand frantically gently gesturing to him to turn his volume down a few notches.

There was no word exchanged. Edrick didn’t get it. Kitreena couldn’t say it. And in that frantic confusion, not knowing what she meant or what she wanted, he just went and kissed her hand!

The whole world seemed to freeze for a moment. And then Mandak and me both went “Auuuwwwww!” That was so sweet.

I don’t know what you call that kind of moment. If it wasn’t a Kodak Moment, it might have been an Aha Moment. Mo man tai, whatever moment it was, you name it. And I… I just don’t ever want to forget that Moment.

November First

I am going to make it about my Monchies this month… of November. To appreciate them, to cherish my time with them, to show my love for them, to just look back, to write 30 things and more about them and to take one day at a time with them.

For our days are numbered,
I would like this November,
to be the most remembered.
