Eventhough I live far away from home, I still keep in touch with my family and friends on a regular basis. Be it via phone (love those calling cards from the internet!) or IM or Skype. Being away from them is not an excuse not to keep in touch. 1 of them is my friend Su who came to visit me last year. When we are on skype, among other topics that we talked about is their plan to move to Seattle and food. Su is also a reader of both my blogs although she has only left a comment once. (Su, hint hint!)
She is also a good cook. I tried making Daging Goreng Kunyit before but I just could not get the beef to be crispy. I thought I needed to deep-fry the beef first which I kept doing which resulted in a horribly looking beef. That is until she spilled the secret of getting the beef to have that deep-fried texture and taste instead of chewy. For those who dont speak Malay or Bahasa, daging = meat (in this case its beef), goreng = fried and kunyit = turmeric.
Daging Goreng Kunyit
serves 4-6
1lb beef, thinly sliced
Water, enough to cover the beef in the pan or wok
4 tbsp veggie oil (or any kind of cooking oil)
1 potato, peeled and cut into wedges
3/4 tbsp turmeric powder
1 each of green and red bell pepper or capsicums, cubed
1 yellow onion, sliced 1/3-1/2 in width
Pinch of salt, black pepper and sugar
1. Put the beef in a pan or wok and add water enough to cover the beef. Cook until the water has completely dried. Stir occasionally.
2. Add in the oil, potato and turmeric powder. Stir regularly until the beef looks crunchy and the potato is soft.
3. Add the bell peppers, onion, salt, pepper and sugar. Continue stirring for a minute.
4. Serves with warm white rice.

DHnaggit, thank you. ;) So do u want basmathi or jasmine rice? hehe.
I love the dry-frying technique. I'm not one for sauces, but I do love my white rice.
EatingClub, this dry-fry beef sounds like a perfect recipe for you then. ;)
I have to try this. It looks good.
BTW, I tried your sardine recipe and your sambal tumis sotong (but I used shrimps instead)...so sedap!! Yum! Yum!
Reminded me of my mom's cooking. :D
Thanks for sharing.
Sri, thanks. I usually useudang too since sotong is so hard to get. Now its like impossible. :(
hey hey loooks very tempting and so easy to do! why do we need to put the water though? isit to give the crispy effect? :)
Irah, the water is so tht the meat is tender when cooked and when you fry it tht's when it gets crispy.
