Most Malaysians, need our meat (apologies vegetarians)! At most, we can only go on a few days without meat in our meals. And financial constraints will not stop us from getting our meat fix! The simplest and cheapest chicken dish you can make at home is probably Ayam Masak Kicap!

However, once you try the vegetarian version, the Cendawan Masak Lemak Cili Api, you would be super excited to be a temporary vegetarian.

The ingredients we need to make a nice plate of Ikan Bilis Tempe Goreng are peanuts, chilli, sweet soy, tempe and anchovies. They can be bought for only 10 bucks!
