Chicken mushroom stew tarbus version
Made a simple and tasty chicken stew with the pressure cooker. Am better at it now - no need to add so much water, just enough to cover the meat.
tumis bawang (m + p)
add hard veggies (ie carrots, sweet potatoes - diced)
add chicken - i used one whole cut into 8
add mushrooms (i used oyster mushroom - if that is what it is called)
add bit of Mik's rempah kari udang cap tarbus (1/2 packet)
season with salt, pepper.
add enough water to cover
cook about 15 mins.


Buns
I used sweet bun recipe (hanieliza) to make these - one was with mushroom filling (i'm mushroom crazy now) and the other plain sprinkled with sesame seeds.
