Assalamualaikum and happy Friday to all.
May today will be filled with barakah.InsyaAllah.
To make things short my dream is that I want to be a dietitian or food nutritionist.
Not an engineer.Basically I'm not really into engineering stuffs.
My passion is always about healthy and delicious food.
Once when I was in primary school I even want to be a chef.
This might be the reason why cooking is my favourite past time.
Sometimes cooking can make me forget about my stress.
So in this entry I'll share my favourite tofu fritters recipe or in Malay is cucur tahu.
Ingredients
300gm of tofu(you can use soft tofu(絹豆腐) or firm tofu(木綿豆腐) but I prefer firm tofu more)
5 shitake mushrooms(finely chopped)
5 prawns(finely chopped)
1 stalk garlic chives(daun kuchai)
2 tablespoons of corn starch
1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour
a little bit salt to taste
vegetable oil for frying.
Directions
1. Drain the tofu from excess water.I put the tofu in the microwave at 600w for 60-90 seconds.Then take it out from the microwave and put a paper towel on it to remove the excess water.
2. Then mash the tofu with potato masher.Later add the shitake mushrooms,prawns,garlic chives,corn starch,all-purpose flour and salt.Mix them together.You can add more corn starch if the batter quite watery.
3. Heat oil in deep skillet.Gently lower the batter,one at a time,into the hot oil,and fry until it turns golden brown.Blot excess oil from the fritters with paper towels.
4. Finally you can serve it with your favourite chilli sauce.
My mama use to make this for us when I was little.Tofu it isn't only high with protein but also calcium and iron.It can be serve as breakfast,toddlers' finger foods or tea time dish.All the best to those who are going to try this recipe.
Assalamualaikum.
Assalamualaikum my dear readers out there
First of all I don't have any attention to write about parenthood in my blog as I'm still my parents child and doesn't have any child yet.
So basically what I'm going to write/I write in this entry is mostly based on my point of view and my own opinion.
It might be wrong but somehow I want to share this with my beautiful readers.
So to make my entry short,lately I'm quite attracted with parenting topic.
Perhaps what had happened to late Nurul Nadirah or Dirang somehow made me concern about parenting.
One day I'm also going to have my own child and this topic is very useful for me and parents/going to be parents out there.
Then yesterday I listened to hot FM radio station while I study Organic Chemistry and they talked about children safety which was a very good topic for us.
Day by day the crime rate in Malaysia are getting higher and we are no longer feel safe in our own country.
In my opinion people who want/going to be parents should educate and prepare themselves with parenting education before having kids.(A good reminder for me and other people too.)
There are a lot of magazines,books and even websites and blogs about parenting out there.
If we can read those politics,entertainment,religious,beauty,fashion articles why not if we spend a little time to read those articles about parenting as one day it will be very useful.
"Hey,young lady!You need to have a child in order to know about parenting lah."
"Hey,mak budak!Is it a problem for you if a young lady like me to educate myself about parenting before I have a child??And by the way if I wait until I have my own child,then at the moment I don't know to take care about my child lah mak cik."
I know its quite harsh but if I'm going to educate myself about parenting later do I really have time to educate myself and at the same time take care of my family.
Yes!!My beautiful readers.
I'm such a perfectionist but its not really because of my attitude I want to be prepared about this matter.
Somehow what had happened in Malaysia(mostly and obviously) made me think that some of Malaysian parents are lack of parenting education.
If we love our child then we should take care of them like we should not like we want.
One really good advice that I got from an elderly women here is,
"If you are able to take care of kids then have kids but if you are unable to take care of them then its better for you not having kids."
Thank you Cik Nah for such good advice.
Insyaallah I'll remember it.
If I'm not ready to take care of my own child in the future perhaps I'm not going to have them as I'm not going to end up as a cruel parent(not like Cruella or Cinderella stepmother)
In my opinion if you can't take care/not being responsible of your own kids then you are actually being cruel to them.
That's my opinion.
It might be wrong and it might be right.
So in the end its up to my beautiful readers to make their own judgement and decision.
In addition I'm not a psychology student nor a student who studies about parenting.
So my last word is think before you act and be not only loving parents but also responsible,caring,protective,good parents.
In order to be a parent with those character we need to prepare and educate ourselves about parenthood.
Being a parent are not only give your child with healthy nutritious food,safety living environment,good education,health and wealth but there are more than that.
For more information about parenting we can just GOOGLE or read a magazine about it.(that is what I'm going to do)
So that's all from now.
Have a nice day readers and Salam 1Malaysia.
Assalamualaikum.
