Rendang is known as one of delicious dishes in the world. It's originally from West Sumatra, Indonesia. Rendang is piece of meat which slowly cooked and braised in coconut milk and spice mixture. This dish is usually served with rice or ketupat (rice dumplings woven in palm leaves).The recipe I wrote is from my mom. She usually makes rendang in special occasion such as Eid al-Fitr or her children back to visit her.#OneRecipeOneTree

What I like the most from this Thai Rice Noodles dish is it is very similar to my Indonesian Fried Rice Noodles. The difference is only on the vegetables we use. In Indonesia we use ‘green mustard’ instead of broccoli. Which one you like more? Me? I like both 😋😋😋 If you like my recipes, please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary for the Indonesian recipes or @jenscookdineandtravel for the English recipes 🙏🏻😊😘

This is the simplest recipe I know. I learned from my mother, and when I don't know what to eat and I only have beef in my refrigerator, I think this recipe is perfect.

A gorgeous and easy Beef Rendang that still leaves a lovely heat in the back of your throat after each bite but the heat doesn't ever overpower the dish. This is now a regular dish made by me.

Best served as sprinkles for any soups. I like it on Soto Ayam with rice cakes (check my Soto Ayam recipe later on).My husband likes it on pizza. This is like a 반찬 (side dish) I'm not sure what's the right term for it in Malay because 'lauk' (like a lot bigger serving of 반찬) doesn't seem suitable.Apologies on the meat shreds not long like they're supposed traditionally. In Italy, they kinda sell only random cuts for stew :(

It's about unique smell and taste of Tree Basil make the dish outstanding

Kangkung aka water spinach is a very healthy kind of vegetable. It is very low in calories and fats and it carries excellent level of vitamin A, C, B-complex, and minerals. In Indonesia 🇮🇩 kangkung is very cheap. Indonesian people like to consume kangkung on daily basis. There are many delicious recipes of this vegetable. I will try to share them one by one since here in US kangkung is very expensive 😅 Please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary for the Indonesian recipes or @jenscookdineandtravel for the English recipes 🙏🏻😊😘

This stew is my own combination of some beef stew recipes I knew. With ketjap as a major component, I think it would classify as Indonesian. Though alternatives like soy sauce would probably also work, and make it less Indonesian.It is a fairly easy recipe, but it needs some time to stew. It works especially well with fries or other potato dishes.Due to the fact that my preferred binding agent is starch it is also gluten free, in contrary to some stews. Starch has the added benefit that it can be added at the end, because unlike flour it does not have this raw taste.

I was looking for something different to do with a roast I had in the freezer and this didn't disappoint. I borrowed a technique from Kenji Lopez-Alt in caramelizing the onions. Adding the water allows the Maillard reactions (responsible for browning) evenly and without burning the onions, resulting in sweet, savory onions. I used top sirloin, but you can use any large roast for this recipe, chuck might actually stand up better to the low, slow cooking. Try to use the freshest spices you can scrounge up!
