(1 tsp chicken stock powder (optional)) - Garam & lada sulah secukup rasa
(Salt & white pepper to taste)
Cara-cara (Instructions)
- Panaskan sedikit minyak dan tumis bawang putih serta bawang merah sehingga wangi dan kekuningan.
(Heat a little oil and sauté garlic and shallots until fragrant and golden.) - Tuangkan air dan biarkan sehingga mendidih.
(Pour in the water and bring to a boil.) - Masukkan bebola ikan (fishball), kek ikan (fishcake), dan bahagian batang sawi yang lebih keras.
(Add fishballs, fishcakes, and the tougher mustard green stems.) - Apabila batang sawi mula lembut, masukkan bahagian daun sawi dan cili merah.
(Once the stems start to soften, add the mustard green leaves and red chili.) - Perasakan dengan garam, lada sulah, dan serbuk pati ayam mengikut citarasa.
(Season with salt, white pepper, and chicken stock powder to taste.) - Masak seketika dalam 1-2 minit sahaja supaya daun sawi tidak terlalu lembek, kemudian tutup api.
(Cook briefly for 1-2 minutes so the leaves don’t become too soggy, then turn off the heat.)
Nota & Tips (Notes & Tips)
- Turutan Memasak: Sentiasa masukkan batang sawi dahulu kerana ia mengambil masa lebih lama untuk empuk berbanding bahagian daun.
(Cooking Order: Always add the stems first as they take longer to soften than the leaves.) - Kuah Manis: Fishball dan fishcake yang berkualiti akan memberikan rasa manis semulajadi pada kuah tumis air ini.
(Sweet Broth: Good quality fishballs and fishcakes will lend a natural sweetness to this clear soup.) - Warna Segar: Jangan tutup periuk selepas memasukkan daun sawi supaya warna hijau sayur kekal cantik dan tidak bertukar lebam.
(Fresh Color: Do not cover the pot after adding the leaves to keep the green color vibrant and prevent it from dulling.)
