Arem-arem Mie

Dear friends,

When my friend asked me to bring some snacks for exercising gerak jalan at the office, I tried to make Arem-arem Mie and Pennylane Brownies *the famous brownies from Mbak Riana - NCC*. First of all, I would post the Arem-arem Mie recipe taught by my mom. Here is the recipe. Hope you like it!

Ingredients:

4 garlics

5 shallots

6 candlenuts *horreeyy I know kemiri in English*

1/2 sdt salt

Cooking oil to saute

150 gram mincemeat

2 glass coconut milk, boiled

4 eggs, beaten

1 tbs pepper
2 sachet Royco

4 packs noodles, boiled then drained, cut into small pieces * I used mi telur cap 3 ayam*

100 gram scallions, sliced

3 small celery, sliced

50 gram cayennes

Banana leaves to wrap the rolls

Directions:

- Grind garlics, shallots, candlenuts and ½ tsp salt to make the spice paste.

- Then saute the spice paste until fragrant, add mincemeat, stir until done, pour coconut milk, beaten eggs, pepper and Royco.

- Mix well the spice paste with noodles and sliced scallions and celery.

- Take a piece of banana leaf and put small amount of noodles and one cayenne in it, then roll the banana leaf into a roll *look at the above picture, sorry I can’t describe it very well*, close the roll with a stick or clean toothpick or stapler.

- Repeat this method for the rest of the ingredients.

- Steam for about 30 minutes.

I always feel happy whenever I can translate the recipes into English. It is so difficult, but I try my best to do it.  I think, it’s a kind of challenging task hehehe.

Let’s cook!
