#mycookbookThe fastest and easiest way to enjoy ‘tempe’ is season it with ground garlic, salt, white pepper powder, and a little water, deep fry the seasoned tempe until golden brown, and then eat it with Indonesian shrimp paste chili sauce.This recipe is basically the same but I added some fried anchovies and Thai basil leaves to add the flavor for the dish.If you like my recipes, please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary for the Indonesian recipes or @jenscookdineandtravel for the English recipes 🙏🏻😊😘

Here it is the most famous Indonesian chili sauce “Sambal Trasi/Terasi”. Indonesia has various kinds of ‘sambal’ recipes which are served as hot and spicy condiments for dishes such as grilled chicken or fish, fried chicken or fish, fried ribs, and many others dishes. But I love this chili sauce the most. I guarantee you will also get addicted to it once you try it 😁 IG @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel

This is a condiment that we always keep in the refrigerator at my house.Any remaining seeds will result in a poor texture, and will make the sambal very spicy. Be sure to carefully filter them out. Switching the food processor or blender on and off should help the ingredients blend more quickly.You can use the soaking water on the plants in your garden as an effective insect repellent.

Fried sambal with shrimp and petai (Parkia speciosa) is a delicious dish for the daily menu or a special day. I served the following recipe for a dear family. Adding coconut milk in this dish produces a savory flavor and is delicious, ideal when eaten with hot rice.One dish that is certainly tempting, is not inferior to other shrimp recipes such as : fried shrimp with butter, and crispy fried shrimp. Fried dry prawns dry and the bite of spicy seasoned chili, you will certainly feel it on the tongue (the amount of chili can be adjusted). What is special is that this shrimp dish will be more cool with extra crispy petai beans - will make a side dish that's more fun.

‘Sambal Goreng’ is a traditional Indonesian dish which is made from chili peppers cooked with some other ingredients such as potatoes, tempeh, tofu, eggplants, green beans, etc. It’s quite different from ‘Sambal’ which refers to Indonesian chili sauce/paste which typically is made from a mixture of chili peppers with secondary ingredients such as shrimp paste, coconut sugar, lime juice, etc. and served as condiments. It’s savory, slightly sweet, and of course it’s spicy 🥵 Best served over warm white rice 🍚 By the way, you can always omit the ‘stinky beans’ part as they are really stinky. It may cause your breath to smell for a day or two 😁😅😂If you like my recipes, please follow me on my Instagram @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel 🙏🏻😊😘

I seem to be in a fried rice frenzy these days. Largely due to the influence of Uncle Roger storming thru social media. Haiya! If you do not know who Uncle Roger is, you are clearly missing out a lot. Like a lot! Secondly, after my kimchi fried rice, I began falling in love with fried rice even tho I am not a fan of rice. Yes, I am saying that out loud. I am considered a black sheep for disliking rice in my family, cos dogma has it that Asians need to have rice in their diet.After Lunar New Year, we will tend to have loads of bak kwa remaining. My grandma just whipped up this fried rice one day, using bak kwa leftovers and a very unique sauce. Her secret ingredient is the black fermented shrimp paste. It has that sweet umami bomb that elevates the whole dish. You can of cos use bacon or even Prosciutto. If you want your bacon or Prosciutto to be crispy, you can precook them before stir-frying into the fried rice. In closing, I hope you will give this recipe a try and I hope Uncle Roger will approve.

We Indonesians love our sambal. There are plenty varieties. Some a bit sour, some a bit bitter, some a bit sweet, but most Indonesians love spicy sambal. My partner and my kids love sambal, but we can't stand too spicy food. So I always remove the seeds from the chili. If you like spicier sambal, do not remove the seeds.Kecombrang or honje is also known as torch ginger. It is the young flower part. If you can't find it, you can replace it with a bit of mint. Kecombrang tastes a bit sour and minty. It also has a fragrant smell.

I travel to Bali often and enjoy the street food there. My Balinese friend makes a great sambal so I always ask her to make one which is very dry and very very hot which allows me to easily carry it home and add more ingredients and oil before canning it. So I do advise, this is not the original recipe for sambal, this explains what I do to it after I get it home.I like to roast/grill the peppers and take the skin off. The taste is really much better.Once you have finished extending your sambal (at step 7) you can put it in the fridge for immediate use or proceed to preserve it for storage as I did in this case.For canning: If your sambal has any low acid content ingredients it needs to be pressure canned. Otherwise boiling water bath will be ok.My next trip to Bali, my friend has promised to show me how to cook her sambal. I hope I can master this teriffic recipe and share with you. There are many other good similar recipes on this site for you to try. Just search for sambal.
