Misro

Misro is abbreviation of aMIS di jeRO, which is from Sundanese(West Java ethnic) language that means "sweet inside". Misro one of the old Indonesian snacks. Probably long before donut and burger came imperialized the taste of Indonesian people...just kidding, it is not that meanful. I think. Nevermind.
Misro is so 'Indonesia'. If you see the ingredients bellow, they are all so tropical; cassava, coconut, tapioca and gula Jawa. Have I told you about gula Jawa before? I will tell you about it in another post about this palm sugar that so sweet, chewy and make Indonesian food so different.


First batch



Everytime I cook from the recipe of old times, I can not help but remembering my childhood when my grandma always supply us, my brothers and me with simple and traditional snacks. I loooove her dearly and miss her so much. I miss my Mum too. Oh.

If you never taste Misro before, it is supposed to be crunchy outside and a bit chewy on the inside. As the name is "sweet inside", it filled with gula Jawa or Javanese palm sugar. Misro, have a 'sibling' named Comro or Combro which means onCom di jeRO or oncom inside. Oncom is a bit like Tempe. I will try to make Comro someday, but it might be hard because I still do not know where to find oncom in Auckland. I might substitute it with Tempe.

It is glutenfree, dairyfree, nutfree snack. Almost sounds healthy, eh? Unfortunately to anyone who is on diet, it is deep-fried. Well, I think still quite slimmer than donuts ;)

This is so easy, and you know I never make difficult recipe, right?

Bunch of them




Misro

Ingredients:
450 gram finely shredded cassava (I used 1 package of 454gram frozen shredded cassava)
100 gram fresh or frozen shredded coconut
1 heap tbsp tapioca flour
1/2 - 1 tsp salt
gula Jawa, chopped with knife, for filling

Directions:
- Mix together in a bowl all ingredients except gula Jawa.
- Mould the cassava mix with your hands into golf ball shape.
- Flat each ball in your palm and fill with about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon gula Jawa. Cover the filling by closing your hands with your fingers and try to cover the gaps. It is a bit tricky maybe, it is not like bread dough and a bit crumbly. Press a bit and shape it like a flat ball.
- Heat oil on medium heat.
- Deep fry all the dough until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Drain the excess oil with strainer or paper towel.
- Serve while it's hot. Bon apetite!

Melted gula Jawa inside, nom!

Oseng-oseng Daun Silverbeet

Oseng-oseng=tumis=stir fy.
I've always seen silverbeet in the grocery stores, but I never eat or cook them before. The leaves are big-thick dark green with white stalk. I was curious about it, but never bought it until one day, one good friend mbak Jeanne posted a picture of Silverbeet dan Udang Masak Santan (silverbeet and shrimp in coconut milk) in facebook. So I asked her about the leaves' taste and how to cook it. It seemed this leaf is just like I thought it was, reminds me of papaya leaves when it cooked.

I finally bought just a bunch, to see how it goes. I was about to cook just like mbak Jeanne did with coconut milk, but I just cooked Opor Ayam (with coconut milk too) a day before. I thought, this could be too much coconut milk in 2 days. So I decided to make something easy, stir fry, as my grandma and my mum used to make. As their old way, I also added fried white bait. Their crunchiness just make it more complete. If you are not familiar with silver beet and white bait(Teri in Indonesian, and I think other part of the world call it anchovy?), I'll post photos of them when I buy them again. Otherwise, just google it please :P

It turn up lovely, almost like papaya leaves but without the bitter taste. Even better, right? My husband ate it too! The best way to eat it is with warm white rice and Sambal Terasi. Sambal is Indonesian condiment made of chilli and it's hoottt!

The recipe I wrote bellow is a very small portion, maybe enough for one or two adult.

Oseng-oseng Daun Silverbeet

Ingredients:

1 bunch silverbeet, leave out the white stalk
1 salam leaf (Indonesian bayleaf)
1 small package of white bait, fried and drained
salt

Spices, chopped:
1 big clove garlic
3 shallot
1 big red chilli (take out the seeds if you don't want it hot)
optionally, some cabe rawit (bird's eye chilli) cut in two

Directions:
- Cut the silverbeet into chunk pieces
- Heat some oil (about 2 tablespoon) in a pan over medium heat.
- Stir in garlic, shallot and chilli until golden.
- Stir in the silverbeat.
- Add some salt
- Add a little water if necessary. Cook until done but not too tender or mushy.
- Turn off the heat off.
- Sprinkle and stir the fried white bait when it's time to eat, to keep the white bait still crunchy.
- Enjoy with white rice and sambal is the best :D

Avocado Juice

Tooooo simple.
Indonesian who read this post will be like, 'What? Just avocado juice and you need to post it in a blog??'.
Ha ha... Why not?
It is because of how simple it is, I want to share it. In most part of the world, avocado has consumed as savoury food. Some people even confuse it whether it is vegetable or fruit.
However, in Indonesia, when we think avocado, most of us probably think about juice, or other beverages. It usually consumed as a sweet drink, with addition of some sugar, syrups or condensed milk(which of course lots of sugar in it).

The avocado juice is usually just a juiced or blended avocado with some water or milk, simple syrup or sugar and ice, pour in a tall glass. Then we add condensed chocolate milk just a bit. It's smooth and creamy, and just... nom nom!

Simple.
However, I think it involve toooo much sugar in it. I want something healthier, so I simply substitute sugar/syrup to honey. I also dilute unsweetened drinking cocoa with a little hot water to substitute the condensed chocolate milk. My kids love it, and I can drink with them, no worries :)

The fun of this avocado juice is, you can have that simple juice with or without chocolate taste. Then, if you substitute honey to banana, you will have a smoothie. Then, after become smoothie, you can freeze the into ice cream! As a matter of fact, at this moment I got my smoothie in the freezer as my first attempt to make ice cream from it!

Anyway, here is the simple avocado juice :)

Avocado Juice

Ingredients:

1 ripe avocado, scoop the flesh out
1 tbsp honey
2-3 ice cubes
water or milk
1 tsp unsweetened drinking cocoa
1 tbsp hot water


Directions:
- Blend ice cubes, avocado flesh, honey until all crush.
- Start to add water or milk little by little until you got the density that you prefer. If it's very liquid it will be like juice. If you keep it a little dense it will be like smoothie (my preference).
- Pour in a tall glass.
- Dilute the cocoa with hot water until smooth. Drizzle it on the avocado juice. Add a straw and enjoy.
- Optionally, you can omit the honey and switch to one banana.
- Optionally again, you can freeze it into ice cream like this lovely blog I found: thriftydecorchick.
- Simply enjoy! :)

Sate Kerang



Mussels Satay. Yay.
If every week your food shopping is around beef,chicken and fish (like minee), you might get bored of what you cook (like I do). So, remember there are a lot of other creatures in the sea that we can 'catch' from the fisheries! For example, mussels. At the last shopping I grabbed a bag of frozen mussels and thinking of satay. Hm.. I wish I could just buy Sate Kerang (Mussels/Cockles Satay) just like in my home country, but here, I have to cook it by myself.

Thinking about buy or cook our food. It is probably more practice and easier when I was in my home country where I could just buy any food I like. But living here makes me more experience in cooking and baking. I am forced to! Of course, because not much people selling Indonesian food here. Not much at all. Not to mention not so many various Halal food here. Sometimes there are times when we feel that we are forced to do something, and feel a bit down about it, but we finally know that it is good for us.

Back to topic. Ehm.

Usually my hubby won't let me buy mussels, because he said that this creature able to live even in polluted water. He doesn't want us to be contaminated by any poisonous pollution. However, I successfully persuade him by saying, "We're in New Zealand now, don't you think the sea is much cleaner?". He agreed right away :p

I got this recipe, and I don't do much change to it, except the type of clam(the original recipe used cockle) and the amount of chilli, because my toddler would eat too. My family enjoyed them, Alhamdulillah. My husband just requested me to make Sambal Kacang(peanuts sambal/sauce) next time I make it again. Noted! So, I probably going to make it again next week, and I will update this post with Sambal Kacang.
By the way, I know I'm still not good in photograph, especially for night shooting. It's also look too plain. Maybe I should prepare the photo scene first before cooking. Although sometimes it's hard to do it when all your family member trying to grab the food as fast as they can. Oh well, I'll try again next week, InsyaAllah.

Anyway, here is the recipe.




Sate Kerang (Mussels Satay)

Ingredients:
500 gr mussels
1 tbsp gula jawa (Javanese palm sugar)
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp sweet soya sauce
100 ml water
3 tbsp oil
2 cm galangal, smacked
2 cm ginger, thwack with knife's back(or anything you got)
2 stalk lemongrass, thwack!
4 indonesian bay leaves, or you can use any bay leaves
4 kaffir lime leaves, tear a bit
skewers

Spices, grind altogether:
4 cloves shallot
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp coriander
4 red chilies, I use only one for toddler friendly sake

Directions:
- Heat the wok or pan and pour the oil
- Stir ground spices, lemongrass, lime leaves, salam leaves and ginger until fragrant.
- Add gula jawa, soy sauce and salt, stir well.
- Add the mussles and pour the water, bring to boil until cooked.
- Thread the mussels to the skewer, grill
- Enjoy

Sate Ayam


Sate Ayam or Chicken Satay. It's like, everybody's favourite. There are a lot of satay or sate in Indonesia, but this sate is Sate Ayam Madura, is one of the most famous satay in Indonesia.

Back in my home town (am I talking about my home town too much? Sorry), 'tukang' Sate Ayam (Chicken Satay's seller) could easily found around almost any residence area. Some tukang sate usually open on the side of the road or street from dawn to very late of night. Some other tukang sate pushing their cart passing houses while yells out, "Teeee, sateeeeeee!!". If you're bored with your home cooking, just call out the tukang sate and your tummy will be happy. Aww, I love road side food stalls :)
But... now we are in Auckland. There's no way there will be any food seller pushing their carts around your neighbourhood. Ever. Absolutely no Sate. Maybe there are some restaurant that sells Sate. But, it might be expensive and might not have the same taste as we used to bought in home town(again).

Browsing around the recipes, I found this recipe. Hmm, might be not so hard, so I gave it a shot. First of all, the chicken. You can use the breast fillets. But, in my opinion, chicken breast is not so juicy, you know? I decided to use boneless thighs instead. They are more juicy than the breasts. I tossed away some of their fats. Too much bulky chicken's fat scares me sometimes. Thighs have a lot of fat.

I grilled the sate on a pan over stove. For the sauce, I was still not so good in frying the peanuts. Peanuts has to be fry in hot oil, but the heat must be low. We want peanuts that brown and crunchy. Otherwise, the peanuts can be over cooked, too dark, and taste a bit bitter. So it has to be taken out from oil before it's too dark. Well, I was a little late, it became too dark but fortunately it wasn't so bitter. I made it the sauce not so spicy hot because I made them for the toddlers too. If it was for adults only, I might have add more chilli peppers.

Overall they tastes good and reminded us the taste of homeland.

Sate Ayam

Ingredients:
800 gr - 1 kg boneless thighs, diced about 2x2x2cm
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 lime
2 tbsp oil
15 - 20 skewers
sweet soy sauce

Spices, grind altogether until smooth:
1 big red chilli pepper, toss away the seeds
2 small hot chilli peppers
3 big shallots
2 cloves garlic
6 candle nuts, fried or tasted
2 tsp palm sugar
1 tsp salt

Peanut sauce:
150 gr peanuts with skins, fried
water
lime


Directions:
- Marinated the diced chicken with lime juice and crushed garlic. Set aside.
- Grind the peanuts, but not too smooth. It is better to make it a bit chunky. Set aside.
- Heat oil on a pan over medium heat.
- Cook the grounded spices until well fragrant. Turn the heat off. Take 2 tablespoon of this cooked spice, mix with 2 tablespoon of sweet soy sauce, set aside. Left the other part of cooked spice in the pan.
- Mix the ground peanuts with cooked spiced, turn the heat on, add some water until reach sauce consistency. Cook just until boiled. Set aside.
- Thread the chicken onto the skewers, about 4-5 dice per skewer. Grill about 2-3 minutes one side. Brush soy sauced-spice onto the cooked side of chicken.
- Grill the other side about 2-3 minutes, then brush with spice-soy sauce again. Grill until done.
- Serve them with peanut sauce, sweet soy sauce and a splash of lime juice. You can add some chilli sauce if you like it hot.
- Enjoy! :)

Gulai Ikan Snapper (Snapper Fish Gulai)


It is supposed to be Gulai Kepala Kakap(Kakap's Head Gulai). A luscious meal from West Sumatera, Indonesia. Unfortunately, I don't know if there is 'kakap' in NZ. But they do got Snapper fish. My hubby love Snapper, and this time he requested Gulai Snapper.

I never really make gulai before. Gulai itself is a kind of curry. As many Sumatera's cooking, gulai needs a lot of spices and uses coconut milk(santan in Indonesian). It's not impossible to get all the spices that needed in this gulai. But, some of them need to be replaced or skipped, because my spices collection in the kitchen is not so complete. Some other spices even might hard to find in NZ. So based on the recipe I found, and the spices I have in our kitchen, I made the gulai, with adjustment.


Now let's talk about hot pepper. As in the photo, I used three kind of pepper. I used three small red chilli pepper which are very hot. I also use one of two big red chilli pepper, which I assumed not so hot. The big green chilli was from my landlady whom grown the pepper in her garden. I don't know the name of all these chillies. Back in my country, I might recognize some types of chilli pepper. But here, I'm pretty much clueless he he. Anyway, the result of using three kind of chillies was a very hot gulai. It might makes you sweating when eating it. So, if you want to try this recipe, just find chilli pepper that suits your taste.

For this gulai I used whole fish, head included. Maybe it's scary to some people, but my hubby love fish' eyes. Yes, to eat. I have to make sure they're well cooked. But no, I do not eat fish' eyes. I always feel that they are 'eyeing' on me :p

There are some Indonesian spices in this recipe which probably known in other Southeast Asian Cooking as well, like tamarind paste. There is also salam leaf(daun salam) which is sort of Indonesian bayleaf. If salam leaf is not available, you can substitute it with bay leaves. Bay leaf makes milder aroma than salam leaves. The shallots here are quite big. They can be as big as medium onion, but with some cloves in it. In Indonesia, shallots are just a little bigger than garlic.

Here is the recipe, which I already adjust to the conditions.
Oh, I forgot to tell how does it taste. Gooood.



Gulai Snapper

Ingredients:

1 medium snapper, clean and cut into pieces
2 tbsp lemon/lime zest
1 tsp salt

800ml coconut milk
2 lemongrass stalks, thwack them once with knife's back
1 tomato(green is better), cut into wedges
1 tsp tamarind paste, diluted with 1 tablespoon of warm water
3 salam leaves
3 small red hot chilli pepper
1 big green chilli pepper, chop 1cm
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
salt
cooking oil


Spices, grind altogether to smooth:
1 big red chilli pepper
1 tbsp coriander seeds, toast on pan 1-2 minutes until fragrant
1 cm fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic
4 big shallots


Directions:
- Marinate fish with lemon/lime and salt. Let it sit at least 15 minutes.
- Deep fry the fish just until cooked but not overly dry. Drained.
- Heat about 2 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan with medium heat, stir in ground spices, lemongrass, salam leaves and chopped chillies, until fragrant and change colour.
- Pour in coconut milk, keep on stirring while boiling.
- Add in turmeric, salt and black pepper. Taste it.
- Put the fried fish, tomato and diluted tamarind paste.
- Let it on medium heat for a while. Better not boiling too long because the fish will be mushy.
- Serve with hot white rice, yummy....

Semur Domba (Lamb Semur)






Semur is authentic Indonesian recipe. It's meat, with spices and most importantly, sweet soy sauce.
It's a Betawi(old name of Jakarta) very old recipe.
Like any recipe, ingredients and way of cooking sometimes depend on the cook. Even my grandmother and my mom cook Semur in slightly different way with slightly different spices. They were from Betawi origin.
So, my husband request to today's menu is Semur, made of of lamb. Semur are usually made of beef, but there are some from chicken too. Some I heard made of goat. But I never made it either from goat nor lamb.
So here it is, made as Ayah's request; using not so much soy sauce as it supposed to be. It's usually more dark, brown to black colour because use a lot of sweet soy sauce. But Ayah doesn't like too much soy sauce because it will be too sweet for him.
By the way, the shallots here in NZ are big. So I use only 4 cloves. But if you are in Indonesia, you can use 5 shallots.
Oh, one more thing, I will tell you a little secret later about a natural way in tenderizing meat, ok? ;)

Lamb Semur

Ingredients:
1kg lamb, diced
Sweet soy sauce
Salt
Water
Cooking oil
Fried shallots to spread

Spices:
5 shallots
2 cloves of garlic
5 candle nuts
2cm of ginger
2 lemon grass stalks
tsp white pepper
1/2 nutmeg

Directions:
- Grind shallots, garlic, candle nuts and ginger.
- Stir-fry the ground spices and lemon grass with enough oil (about 4-5 tablespoons)until you can smell nice fragrant from it
- Pour some sweet soy sauce.
- Stir in lamb until the colour changed.
- Pour in water, nutmeg, pepper and salt.
- Taste the salt, and you can add the sweet soy sauce to suit your taste.
- Cook until well done.
- Put them in a bowl. Spread the fried shallots on it. Serve.

Risoles with Ragout Filling




Risoles Isi Ragout
Risoles or Risol is a common snack in Indonesia. In my country, this snack or fingerfood is so wellknown from long time ago, you can easily find it in many food stalls or even bakeries. It made out of rolled crepes(wrapper) and covered with breadcrumbs. The filling is become quite various nowadays. In the old times, I only know two fillings, ragout or stir-fried vegetables.



Ragout, I don't exactly know where this word came from. Could it be related to Ragout from French, or Ragú from Italian? In Wikipedia it means meaty sauce. I don't know if this related or not, but Indonesia did get some influences from European country (especially Holland). The ragout we know is usually chicken or beef with vegetable with very thick clear or creamy sauce seasoned with pepper and nutmeg.



While the stir-fried vegetables filling is more Indonesian-ish. The filling is made by stirred shallot and garlic, added with vegetables like chopped string bean and carrot, and maybe chicken or beef, also sometimes a slice of hard-boiled egg.
Whatever the fillings, we-Indonesian, usually like it HOT! A sachet or a bottle of hot chilli sauce or fresh hot green chilli called cabe rawit are usually stand by the Risoles! Yumm-eeeee!

Ehm.

So I made the Risoles for the farewell share lunch at the kindy. The head teacher was moving to Sidney. Share lunch means every parent bring a plate of food. Any food will do. So I decided to make Risoles, food I had never made before.

The recipe is taken from a this blog. I made it almost the same as the recipe in that blog, but I use frozen mix vegetables for the filling to make it simple. As for the filling, hmm... I remember many snack sellers in Indonesia probably make ragout without milk or cream and with too many flour which resulting pudding-y filling, which I think..eeww! I just don't find it tasty.

I mean, wouldn't it be nicer to imagine that when you bite that crispy yet soft wrapper, a creamy sauce ready to flowing down in your mouth, rather than stick on your teeth? I imagine to have white sauce to be the Risoles' filling. So I made it, by cutting down the amount of flour from the original recipe. But the filling have to be able to scooped and put onto the crepes. If it too liquid, I might get trouble rolling the crepes because the filling can flood all over the place. So I just use about 5 tablespoon of flour and try to get the right consistency. To make sure, I put it in the fridge so I can scoop with spoon later. After it fried, it will be melt again. Unfortunately, I didn't really measure some ingredients.

Well, insyaAllah with this recipe you can't be so wrong, I think. Hehehe. Goodluck!


Risoles

Ragout:
2 pieces of boneless chicken(or more), boiled and cut to small cubes. Keep the boiled water as the broth.
200-300 ml of chicken broth (sorry I forgot how much exactly I pour, but it is around 200-300 ml)
500 gr carrots and string bean or any vegetables, cut to small cubes (I used frozen mix vegetables. Sorry for not really made it from scratch this time :( )
300 ml milk
5 tbsp flour
1 medium onion, chopped
½ tsp white pepper
a pinch of nutmeg
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
a slice of cheese (I didn't measure it, sorry :( )
Directions:
- In pan stir onion with a little oil until golden.
- Turn down the heat to low.
- Add in flour, stir quick and pour in the milk. Stir quick until the texture smooth.
- Add the chicken, vegetables, broth and cheese.
- Season with pepper, nutmeg, salt and sugar.
- Cook until the sauce is thicker.
- Put aside until completely cool.
- You may keep in the fridge and continue to make the Risoles the day after.

Crepes(wrapper):
100 gr flour
1 tsp salt
3 eggs
250 ml milk
1 tbsp butter, melted
a little more butter for the pan
Directions:
- Sieve the flour in a bowl with salt.
- Make a hole in the flour.
- Add the eggs inside the hole. Stir well with wire whisker.
- Gradually pour the milk and keep stirring until smooth.
- Add the melted butter and stirring until blend.
- Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
- Heat a pancake pan (I use 12cm diameter pan) and smear with a little bit butter.
- Pour the crepes batter in the pan using a large spoon and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly. You might want to choose the spoon that you think could make a thin crepe and use the same spoon all the time to make the evenly thick crepes.
- Cook about 2-3 minutes or until the surface of the crepe no longer wet/liquid.
- No need to flip to cook the other side of the crepe. Just put it on a plate, and continue to cook another crepe until finish.
- Set aside.
(makes about 25 crepes)

Dipping:
1-2 eggs, beaten
breadcrumbs


Making Risoles:
- Take one piece of crepe and put about 1-2 teaspoon of the filling and fold and roll like envelope or spring roll. Put aside the Risoles with the edge tucked underneath. Repeat until the crepes are finished.


- Dip each Risoles into beaten eggs then coat with breadcrumbs.


- Deep fry them with low heat until golden brown. Better keep an eye when frying, because it doesn't take long until they get brown. Set aside and use the tissue paper to absorb the oil.

Enjoy!

Lapis Beras Pandan Suji


Love this!
Sebetulnya minggu lalu aku membuat kue pepe(kue Betawi), cuma ngga sempat didokumentasikan. Karena senang dengan hasil kue lapis tapioka/sagu tersebut, aku jadi terinspirasi membuat kue tradisional lainnya.
Di lemari kebetulan aku ternyata punya cukup banyak tepung beras. Jadi ingat Mamah suka memesan Kue Lapis Beras ini dari tetangga.
Setelah semedi sebentar dengan Mbah Google, aku menemukan dua resep ini(resep NCC di blognya mbak Hesti) dan itu(resep Femina di blognya mbak Lukie). Thanks to them ;) Setelah semedi selesai, aku memutuskan untuk sedikit menggabungkan keduanya. Aku masih ingin menggunakan pewarna alami, tapi dengan cara yang lebih simple. Caranya di bawah ini, mudah-mudahan dapat dipahami ya :)
Untuk pewarna dan perasa aku gunakan pandan, suji dan daun jeruk. Sayangnya daun jeruknya yang ada di rumah cuma sedikit. Tapi nggak apa-apa, pakai sajalah! Lalu aku menggunakan 4 lembar daun pandan saja, dan itu sudah cukup terasa aromanya sampai saat gigitan pun. Sedangkan daun suji aku hanya memakai 20 lembar, karena nggak tega merontokkan terlalu banyak daun dari si pohon :P Hasil warnanya seperti di foto ya, hijau alami.
Aku membuat kue ini malam-malam. Aku pakaikan dulu anak-anak piyamanya, dan kutempatkan di pos masing-masing (hehe). Setelah itu kutinggal sebentar untuk memanaskan santan. Baru kemudian aku menemani si Dede tidur.
Setelah Dede tidur barulah aku kembali ke dapur untuk menyelesaikan kuenya. Sambil membuat kue lapis per lapis, aku bisa merapikan rumah(yang mirip kapal induk pecah!) dan mencuci piring. Sempat juga makan mie instan sekalian sahur buat puasa keesokannya. Begitu selesai baru aku tidur. Setelah shalat Subuh baru aku potong-potong kuenya. Enak banget memotongnya, gampang!
Dede bangun dan seperti biasa memeriksa meja makan. Barusan dia sudah menghabiskan dua potong kue.
Puas deh, bisa bikin kue yang dijual tukang-tukang kue. Rasanya ketagihan bikin kue-kue tradisional. Sensasinya beda sama bikin cake. Apa aku lagi bosan aja sama cake ya? ;)



Lapis Beras Pandan Suji

Bahan :
250 gr tepung beras
100 gr tepung tapioka
300 gr gula pasir
1 liter santan
4 lbr daun pandan
20 lbr daun suji
3 lembar daun jeruk purut, sobek bagian tulangnya
1 sdt garam

Cara Membuat:
- Masak santan, daun jeruk, 3 lembar daun pandan dan garam sambil diaduk-aduk hingga mendidih, angkat, sisihkan.
- Ambil dua cup santan tadi dan bagilah ke dalam dua mangkuk berbeda. Maka kita mendapatkan 3 mangkuk santan: 1 bagian besar santan, dan 2 bagian santan masing-masing sejumlah 1 cup.
- Masukkan daun suji dan selembar daun pandan ke dalam blender bersama satu cup santan. Blender. Saring dan peras, hingga mendapatkan satu cup santan berwarna hijau. Sisihkan.
- Taruh di wadah, tepung beras, tepung sagu, gula pasir, aduk rata, tuangi bagian besar santan sedikit demi sedikit sampai santan habis sambil diuleni hingga menjadi adonan yang encer. Saring bila perlu.
- Bagi dua adonan encer ini ke dalam dua mangkuk santan yang berwarna putih dan berwarna hijau. Aduk rata adonan dan santan di masing-masing mangkuk.
- Panaskan dandang hingga airnya mendidih. Kecilkan api.
- Siapkan loyang 20x20, poles minyak sayur tipis-tipis.
- Tuang adonan putih dan hijau bergantian hingga terbentuk lapisan-lapisan. Kukus tiap lapisan 5-10 menit.
- Gunakan sendok sayur yg sama untuk menyendok adonan hijau dan putih.
- Ulangi terus sampai adonan habis, terakhir kukus 20 menit.
- Dinginkan, keluarkan dari loyang, potong-potong dengan menggunakan pisau yang dilapis plastik.

Talam Ketan Kabocha



Haloo..
Still, due to my broken mixer, I have to find recipes that don't need the mixer. Seperti kita ketahui, kebanyakan kue-kue Indonesia memang tidak membutuhkannya.
Saat minggu lalu ke supermarket, aku (hampir selalu)tergiur oleh kabocha dan labu parang yang dijual setengah bagian. Memang sih, selain kabocha dan labu parang, aku juga sering tergiur dengan strawberry. Anyway. Kupilih kabocha kecil.
Di rumah aku sadar harus segera memutuskan akan dibuat apa si kabocha ini sebelum dia busuk di kulkas (lagi).
Kuingat Ayah suka dengan talam ketan, I guess that should be the name. Tahu kan, kue yang lapisan bawahnya ketan putih, dan lapisan atasnya talam berwarna coklat? Bukan, bukan ketan sarikaya. Mirip, tapi talam ketan ini atasnya tidak lunak seperti halnya sarikaya. Sebaliknya, bagian atasnya legit seperti kue talam.
Aku lalu mengubek-ubek Oom Google dan mendapatkan 2 resep berbeda. Sayangnya aku lupa sumbernya ^^. Maaf ya! Setelah membaca resep baik-baik, aku mencoret-coret beberapa perubahan dan menggabungkan dua resep menjadi satu.
As result, rasanya cukup berhasil. Hanya, aku membuat satu kesalahan. Yea~yea, it wasn't me if I didn't do any mistake, right? @__@. Kesalahannya adalah aku lupa mengecilkan api saat adonan talamnya masuk. Kenapa salah? Karena api besar membuat permukaan talam bergelombang dan berongga. Sepertinya aku masih terpengaruh dengan cara membuat bolu kukus ya? Hiks! Setelah akhirnya aku ingat dengan catatan soal pemakaian apinya di salah satu resep tersebut, sayangnya sudah terlambat. As you can see in the pics, they became not-so-pretty :(.
Untungnya, rasanya masih oke. Ayah suka. Horee! *alhamdulillah*
Oya, sebetulnya ukuran gula tidak aku ubah sama sekali dari resep asli, dan ternyata rasa manisnya menjadi cukup mild. Mungkin bagi beberapa orang yang suka manis-manis rasa manis seperti ini dirasa kurang. Silakan menambahkan jumlah gula jika ingin, tapi aku sih merasa cukup.
Warna kuning kabocha sepertinya cenderung lebih pucat dibanding labu parang yang lebih jingga. Mungkin lain waktu aku akan mencoba memakai labu parang saja agar warnanya lebih menarik.

So here's the recipe. Good luck!

Are you laughing at me? Huh? Do you?? Do you???

Membuat kue yang satu ini bikin rambut jabrik :D
Sudah berkali-kali mencoba membuat kue bolu kukus teuteup aja nggak sukses. Bolu kukus yang sukses adalah bolu kukus yang adonan atasnya pecah hingga 3-4 patahan, sering disebut 'ketawa', serta hasilnya ringan dan lembut kalau dimakan.
Mungkin sebenarnya kalau aku nggak keukeuh membuatnya tanpa food additive bisa aja kali ya? Tapi dasar persistent, jadi tetap berusaha tanpa emulsifier, air soda maupun soda-sodaan lainnya.
Bolu kukus yang kubuat hari ini, bentuknya sudah lumayan. Aku membuatnya menggunakan 2 dandang yang berbeda di saat yang bersamaan dengan maksud agar tidak ada adonan yang menunggu. Alhasil di satu dandang mereka tertawa pecah tiga, sedangkan di dandang lain cuma ketawa satu belah saja. Grrr...
Pas dimakan pun enak pas hangat saja. Setelah kuenya dingin, alamak, jadi berat dan keras. Huhuhu...
Apakah aku harus menyerah dengan food additive kali ini?
Hik.. Hik... Hik....

Lihat nih, bolunya ketawa sih ketawa, tapi kayanya mereka ngetawain aku ya??
haahaaahaaaaaa! the villain laughed

hmm.. tapi rasanya aku harus menampilkan foto-foto mereka yang sukses ketawa lebih lebar meskipun teksturnya nggak airy. Jadi mungkin sebenarnya ada harapan untuk membuat bolu kukus ini lebih baik lagi.
Gambatteeee.....!

'wagaaawugaaawugaaaa..'and the felon company follows!

Klappertaart (Coconut Pudding) - Sauce style



Aha! Klappertaart! Hmm....
I don't think I can say klappertaart without drooling, haha!
Klappertaart yang merupakan makanan khas Manado ini jelas punya pengaruh Londo alias Belandanya ya. Klappertaart sebetulnya masuk ke jenis puding-pudingan(pudding) bagi orang bule. Tapi sebetulnya Klappertaart ini bahan dasarnya vla bagi orang Indonesia. Tapi ya vla=puding. Cuma saja kalau orang Indonesia kebanyakan tahunya yang namanya puding itu ya, agar-agar, hehe.
Anyway, I looooove Klappertaart! Dulu sering kali kesukaanku pada Klappertaart terhambat dengan harganya. Dasar pelit ya?
Setelah akhirnya iseng mau lihat bahan-bahan Klappertaart di resep, aku berpikir bahwa ini nggak lebih susah dari pada bikin vla agar-agar. Puding agar-agar dan vla-nya merupakan salah satu makanan yang pertama-tama kubuat sejak SMA, and quite mastering it. Bukan mau nyombong sih, bagiku tuh bisa bikin puding dulu udah bagus banget lho.
Nah, resep Klappertaart ini merupakan setengah resep yang baaaanyak beredar luas di internet. Just google 'Klappertaart Wilton', and voila, you'll got plenty of them!
Bedanya, aku mengurangi jumlah gulanya, skip the custard flour, dan menukar 100cc susu dengan air kelapa. Maksudnya sih, biar 'ngelapa' banget gitu. But, I think it works well.

But again! I forgot the flour again! Kali ini lupa terigunya untuk si topping. Oh nevermind! Bwahaha! Dear God.... -__-"

Sebetulnya ini 2nd attempt. I forgot to add flour on my 1st attempt, hehe.
My parents and my hubby love this. I'm so glad that I finally can make something that they actually can ask for more! Asyiknya lagi, aku sekarang bisa bikin Klappertaart kapanpun kumau.

For a note, Hubby ku suka banget dengan tekstur klappie ini yang mirip sauce, alias agak cair. Sedangkan Abi berharap klappie-nya lebih mirip caramel pudding, lebih set tapi masih gleyer-gleyer(bahasa yang benernya apa yak??). Lain lagi Umi yang lebih suka klappie kering yang bisa dipotong. Mungkin kapan-kapan aku coba membuat klappie dengan tekstur yang berbeda untuk 'memenuhi permintaan customer', hehe.

So this is it. My sort of way of klappertaart. Enjoy!

Bahan:
400 cc susu(devide it into 300cc and 100cc)

3 btr putih telur
3 sdm gula pasir
1 sdm tepung terigu

Bangket Daun Jeruk

summer bunnies

Aku jarang banget bikin kue kering alias cookies. Bahkan di blog ini juga belum pernah ya?
Tadinya aku nggak tertarik untuk ikutan Bangket Week-nya NCC. Tapi kok, lama-lama tertarik juga ya. Pas lihat-lihat resep dari panitianya, hm.., kayaknya bisa dicoba nih. Dari beberapa resep yang diberikan, tadinya mau bikin Bangket Kacang a la mbak Nadrah aja. Setelah pikir-pikir, kayaknya kalau pakai terigu kurang 'Endonesah' yaa.. Akhirnya kuputuskan untuk pakai resep nomer 2, sumbernya dari Majalah Sedap, yaitu Bangket Jeruk Nipis. Which, I'm wondering, kan nggak ada jeruk nipisnya, kenapa namanya pakai '-Jeruk Nipis' ya?
Anyway, pas mau bikin ini terus terang aku nggak ada gambaran sama sekali Bangket itu seperti apa. Teksturnya kaya apa, rasanya kaya apa, belum terbayang. Setahuku kue Bangkit itu, menurut almarhumah nenekku adalah kue kering asli Betawi. Tapi menurut ibu-ibu di NCC, Bangket itu kuenya orang Sumatera. Seingatku juga, Bangket kuenya tebal berwarna cokelat dan berempah. Kalau nggak salah, kue ini juga bukan kue yang lumer di mulut seperti -katanya- Bangket Susunya mbak Nadrah.
Karena sudah banyak yang membuat Bangket Susu, maka aku tertarik untuk membuat bangket yang lain. Tercetus ide untuk mewarnai bangket ini dengan Suji. Sayangnya, sepertinya aku memakai sujinya kurang banyak. Hasil kuenya berwarna hijau pucat, yang yah... nggak apa-apa juga. Cantik-cantik aja menurutku. Tapi mungkin lain kali aku memakai lebih banyak daun suji, mungkin sekitar 12-15 lembar.
Sekarang cetaknya pakai apa ya? Tadinya sih, terpikir untuk dicetak tangan aja. Tiba-tiba ingat cetakan Bento dari temanku Fitri. Maka kupakailah cetakan berbentuk bunga dan muka kelinci. Tadinya mau pakai cetakan beruang juga, tapi sepertinya tangan dan kakinya yang kecil akan menyulitkanku mengeluarkan adonan. Jadi, maaf Pak beruang. Lalu baru sadar, di mana ya rollingpin? Ah, ambil saja botol sirup yang kosong sebagai rollingpin! my messy workplace

Pertama kucoba bakar 30 menit, udah enak, tapi tengahnya masih belum kering benar. Pas coba 50 menit, duh kayanya kekerasan jadinya. Nah, kalau yang 40 menit cukup deh, luarnya garing, dalamnya lumayan empuk. Rasa kue ini kayanya seperti kue sagu ya? Cuma kalau kue sagu keju itu gampang ngeprul, kalau ini cukup kokoh. Kue apa ya jaman dulu yang kaya gini, hmm? Walaupun nggak pakai kulit jeruk, tapi aroma daun juruk purutnya pas digigit wangiii banget!
the more the merry

Oiya, ini resepnya yang sudah diadaptasi aja ya ;)

Bangket Daun Jeruk
diadaptasi dari Majalah Sedap Sekejap

Bahan:

untuk santan:

3 lembar daun pandan
175 ml santan (dari 1/2 butir kelapa parut yang dicampur dengan 12-15 lembar daun suji dan air)

500 gram tepung kanji
2 lembar daun pandan
5 lembar daun jeruk purut -> aku pakai 6 lembar kecil
1 buah jeruk purut, ambil kulitnya -> aku nggak pakai, habis nggak ada sih
1/2 sendok teh garam
2 kuning telur
1 putih telur
200 gram gula halus

"ouch, my ear!"


Cara membuat:
- Blender daun suji yang sudah disobek-sobek dengan 100ml air hingga halus.
- Campur air suji ke parutan kelapa, aduk rata, peras, ambil santannya sebanyak 175ml atau lebihkan sedikit bila takut santan menyusut setelah mendidih nanti.
- Rebus santan, daun pandan, daun jeruk, kulit jeruk, dan garam sambil diaduk sampai mendidih. Angkat lalu saring dan dinginkan.
- Sangrai tepung kanji bersama daun pandan sampai daun pandan kering. Angkat dan dinginkan.
- Panaskan oven 140 derajat Celcius.
- Kocok telur dan gula sampai kental. Tambahkan tepung. Aduk rata lalu masukkan santan sedikit-sedikit sambil diaduk. Bila adonan sudah kalis (tidak lengket di tangan) tidak perlu mencampurkan semua santan.
- Giling adonan setebal 1 cm. Cetak lalu letakkan di loyang yang telah dioles margarin.
- Oven sampai matang, kurang lebih 40 menit.

Mendoan Cilacap

Siang...
Lagi rajin nge-blog nih, he he.
Tadi pagi aku bikin makanan favoritku yang sebelumnya nggak pernah kucari tahu cara bikinnya. Apakah itu? TEMPE MENDOAN! Tiap jalan ke mana-mana kalau ada tukang mendoan di pinggir jalan bawaannya pasti ngiler. Meskipun belum tentu beli sih, soalnya seringnya nggak sempat mampir (hu..hu..).

Setelah beberapa kali kecewa karena hidangan sarapanku buatanku untuk anak-anak dikalahkan tempe goreng yang dibawakan Umi dari tukang nasi uduk, maka timbul ide untuk membuat tempe goreng sendiri untuk cemilan. Ide terus berlanjut, hm.., kenapa nggak tempe mendoan aja sekalian.
Langsung aku browsing di milis NCC(Natural Cooking Club), dan mendapatkan resep yang aslinya bernama Mendoan Cilacap ini. Resep ini diposting oleh Mbak Amy.
Memang banyak resep mendoan, tapi aku suka yang ini karenaaa... ukurannya pake sendok! Ha ha ha! Ya iyalah, coba bayangin, bikin tempe goreng aja masak harus menimbang-nimbang dulu terigunya berapa gram, dan seterusnya. Bo, males banget ngga sehhh?
Jadi aku bukan pilih resep ini karena resepnya a la Cilacap. Malah aku baru tahu mendoan ada yang dari Cilacap. Terus terang aku juga nggak tahu sebetulnya mendoan itu aslinya dari mana. Mari kita Google sebentar.. Nah, kalau menurut Wikibooks sih, berasal dari Banyumas. Okelah, tambahan pengetahuan sedikit, hi hi.
Nah, kali ini aku sengaja goreng agak sedikit lebih kering dari mendoan biasanya. Biar mirip tempe goreng biasa, tapi cita rasanya mendoan. Anak-anakku juga kan terbiasanya dengan tempe goreng tepung biasa. Lalu, aku juga pakai tempe biasa yang diiris tipis, bukan mendoan. Kalau ini cuma karena malas ke AlfaMidi, jadi aku titip Umi aja untuk beli di tukang sayur. Setalah jadi aku sediakan cabai rawit. Maunya sih, pakai sambal kecap. Tapi karena resep aslinya nggak menyertakan resepnya, aku juga malas bikinnya ^^.
Alhamdulillah dibilang enak sama Abi. Dedek juga doyan. Umi bilang enak. Ayah bilang biasa aja, tapi habis makan dua potong. Cuma Abang kayaknya lagi ogah makan, cuma makan sepotong. Nggak apa-apalah, yang penting aku happy, next time bikin lagi! ^^

Mendoan Cilacap
Resep ala Ibu Mertuanya Mbak Amy

Bahan:
• 10 buah tempe mendoan (kalau tidak ada bisa dengan tempe biasa yang
diiris tipis-tipis)
• 2 batang daun bawang, iris halus
• 1 sdm tepung beras
• 3 sdm tepung terigu
• Air secukupnya hingga kekentalan tercapai
• minyak goreng untuk menggoreng

Bumbu dihaluskan:
• 2 siung bawang putih
• 1 butir kemiri
• 1 sdt ketumbar, haluskan
• kencur secukupnya
• garam secukupnya

Cara membuat:
1. Aduk tepung dengan bumbu halus, daun bawang, dan air (masukkan
sedikit demi sedikit) hingga rata.
2. Celupkan tiap lembar tempe mendoan dalam adonan tepung.
3. Goreng dalam minyak panas dan banyak hingga adonan tepung matang
tetapi tidak kering, cukup putih saja warnanya. Angkat, tiriskan.
4. Sajikan hangat dengan cabe rawit.

Mau lagiiii!!



Dedek lagi mam, am!

Macaroni Schotel


Hi,
wahh, siapa sangka orang seperti aku bisa bikin foodblog. Aku? Yang nggak punya tampang bisa masak itu? Yang semua makanan dibilang enak? Yea..yea..
Tapi, toh, inilah makanan pertama yang aku masukkan ke foodblog aku: Macaroni Schotel!
Aku buatnya malam sebelum Idul Adha kemarin. Ini resepnya dari Tira.
Katanya Tira juga dapat resep sausnya dari mbak Ine. Nah, aku juga mengotak-atik lagi resepnya sesuai seleraku.
So, daripada bingung, aku ketik aja sesuai yang aku bikin.

Macaroni Schotel

Topping Saus Putih:
1 sdm (munjung) mentega tawar
2 sdm tepung terigu
250 cc susu cair
garam, merica
100 gr keju parut (aku pakai 1 blok quick melt cheddar[apprx.180gr], sesuai saran Tira).
Cara membuat:
panaskan mentega, masukkan terigu, aduk-aduk sampai rata, tuangkan susu sedikit demi sedikit sambil diaduk cepat agar tidak menggumpal.
Masukkan garam dan merica.

Schotel:
125 gr macaroni elbow
100 gr daging giling
3 lbr daging asap, potong kotak-kotak
susu cair 250ml
90 gr (setengah blok) keju cheddar parut kasar (resep aslinya 125gr)
1 bh bawang bombay cincang halus (I skipped it)
3 btr telur, kocok lepas
2 sdm terigu
2 sdm mentega untuk menumis
garam
lada
pala
Cara membuat:
Rebus macaroni hingga 3/4 matang. Tiriskan, sisihkan.
Panaskan mentega di atas api kecil, masukkan bawang bombay(jika pakai) sampai layu. Lalu masukkan daging giling hingga berubah warna. Daging asapnya juga boleh sekalian. Masukkan terigu, aduk cepat sampai rata. Tuangkan susu, aduk cepat hingga rata. Masukkan macaroni rebus, aduk. Bubuhkan garam, lada dan pala.
Matikan api. Masukkan telur kocok, aduk rata.

Penyelesaian:
Menurut resep asli sih, sebetulnya dikukus dulu baru dipanggang. Tapi aku agak malas dua kali kerja, hehe. Jadi bahan schotel kutuang ke cupliner, lalu tambahkan topping di atasnya, sprinkle oregano sedikit. Lalu dipanggang di oven dengan au ban marie.

Hasilnya teuteup enakkkkk! Creamy, dan teuteup berasa ngeju. Oiya, mungkin karena keju untuk saus putihnya banyak banget, sausnya cenderung cepat membeku saat sudah mendingin. Mungkin lain waktu aku coba pakai cuma 2/3 blok keju aja kalau pengen sausnya benar-benar 'bersaus'.

Oya, ini memang agak serba pertama. Baru kali ini juga masukkin foto makanan yang rada niat hasil jepretanku sendiri. Thanks to my dear cousin, mas Dandy, the photographer! He gave me some food photography's tips.
Hasil fotonya lumayan bagus (menurut diri sendiri). Tapi kata mas Dandy, kalau warnanya masih belum sesuai aslinya berarti belum sempurna. Hemm iya sih, soalnya di foto ini warnanya agak lebih kuning dari aslinya. Anyway teuteup kupasang di sini deh, hehe.
Not bad for beginner, eh?
