 Another one of Che Sayang's must-try recipes is Daging Goreng Kunyit, which we translate as Stir-Fried Beef with Turmeric. It's also one of the easiest, quickest, yet you'll often find it on the lunch menu across Malaysia.

It's a favourite among most workers and students as a lunch meal because it's a one-size-fits-all dish comprising protein, vegetables, and taste. It's actually quite simple to make as well, only a few easy steps, and you're done, ready to serve!

 Here’s a little secret:

A majority of Malaysians adore daging goreng kunyit with some kicap manis (sweet soy sauce) drizzled over it and a side of sambal belacan (chilli and fermented shrimp paste sambal). It gives a quick, sweet, spicy, and umami flavour that is quite compatible with the beef flavour. 

Psstt...

It’s not only super tasty but also super budget-friendly, making it a lunch favourite for the masses!

Secret for tender beef?

 Want your beef to melt in your mouth? Marinate it with a little soy sauce, turmeric, and a pinch of baking soda. It softens the meat beautifully without changing the flavour. 

Did you know?

Turmeric isn't just for colour, it actually contains anti-inflammatory chemicals and adds a slightly earthy flavour that enhances the aroma of the beef.
