This is a dish from Central Kalimantan which I got from one of my friends who migrated to Samarinda .The recipe is not that complicated though takes some time .

Nasi Bakar refers to steamed rice seasoned with spices and ingredients and wrapped in banana leaves secured with lidi semat (here I used toothpicks) and grilled upon charcoal fire. The burned banana leaves produced a unique aroma upon the rice. (source: Wikipedia) IG @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel

My Sis in Law taught me to make this sambal few years back, but i probably add few ingredients to complete the taste :D

#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 🙏🏻😊😘

I was craving for the Sambal Bilis Puff at Dome Restaurant, but due to lockdown, I've decided to Google the recipes and make them myself. It turns out amazing, crunchy and yummy! The baked puff is still crunchy when I leave it outside overnight.

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.

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.

Just mixed (stirred) only, so there is still distinctive flavor and beautiful chime with chili flavor.Let us look at the recipe... ^_^
