The best way to enjoy Malaysian food is with your hands. Messy hands are a compliment to the chef; the messier, the better, says chef Azalina Eusope. And so we did get our hands messy and had a lot of fun while making Malaysian food with Eusope at a cooking class she conducted last night at
La Cocina. Eusope, a tiny lady with a big personality, is the chef and owner of
Malaysian Lacy Crepes by Azalina at the Saturday
Alemany farmers' market, and Friday nights at
Off the Grid at Fort Mason Center.

We cooked shrimp in a colorful and flavorful chile-tamarind sauce (sambal tumis); sliced, diced, and stir-fried vegetables (sayur campur); cooked rice and lentils in a delicious hodgepodge of spices (nasi kunvit kacang); and steamed banana cakes wrapped in banana leaves (lepat pisang).
