Homemade Achar/ Nyonya Acar 娘惹阿杂菜
Achar/ Acar is a mixture of pickled vegetables commonly served in Asian cuisine. It's generally made with different types of vegetables and fruits such as cucumber, carrots, pineapple, long beans, and cabbage, pickled in a well-seasoned vinegar concoction. It's an excellent side dish to increase appetite and goes well with greasy food such as nasi lemak and deep-fried food, it even tastes good on its own. During Chinese New Year, we serve Achar with prawn crackers and that's my top favorite pairing! ;)
The Achar recipe that I'm sharing here is a simplified version of Peranakan/ Nyonya Achar.

Method:
1. Cut cucumber and carrot into strips, mix with 2 tsp salt, let it sit for an hour, squeeze out the liquid, set aside.
2. Add ingredients (A) and some water (optional) into a blender, blend till smooth. I'm using Ninja Intellisense blender which is very effective and quick, take only seconds to blend the ingredients into a paste. 👉 If you do not have a blender, you can consider getting a Ninja Intellisense System. Besides blending spices, the blender can be used to crush ice to make smoothie, shakes, ice cream, and all kinds of drinks. The processor also comes with a dough blade for preparing cookie dough and bread dough, a processor for puree, process/ chop veggies, and meat for making salad, patties, nuggets, etc.
